Vehicle Detail
This is our 1961 CHEVY APACHE PICKUP, though not entirely perfect the fairly recent cosmetic restoration makes this truck well above just a project vehicle as it runs well and looks great! This is a very clean, straight and solid desert truck with no rust or rot. This truck was traded to me after the owner put a lot of time and money into it, all the hard work is done and it doesn't need much to make it a nice daily driver or weekend cruiser for someone. This auction has NO RESERVE, high bid takes it home. If winning bidder is in Southern California, I can assist with delivery, I also deliver to the shipping terminals in the Los Angeles area on a weekly basis. I do have a few bidder requirements at the bottom of the page, please read them and the entire listing BEFORE placing your bid. Also, I plan on selling many of the cars in my collection this year, so it will benefit other collectors and those of you that already know me and what I have to continue watching my listings! Please take the time to view the detailed pictures, I am very thorough when shooting and describing a vehicle and make every effort to catch as much detail as possible! Cosmetically, the body of this Apache is complete and very straight. There are no dent, rot or rust repairs needed. Front windshield has a "bb" chip, all other glass is clean, clear and in good shape. Cab floor and bed area has been Rhino-Lined. The paint is well above just "driver" quality but not "show" quality, it looks really nice and shiny but upon close inspection I see 2 chips on hood (see pic) and dirt specks here and there in the paint. This Apache rides on clean Centerline wheels, tire tread is about 40% all around. These trucks don't have much as far as interior goes- the drivers seat is faded and has lumpiness when I sit on it, so it could use new seat upholstery. Inside the cab, dash and door panels look nice and have also been repainted black with the trim in red. Everything works inside except for the speedometer, wipers and there is no radio. Mechanically, I'm told this is the original 283 engine, it runs nice and has plenty of power. The only things mechanically that I don't like is you have to shift the 3 speed auto transmission by hand starting at low and moving thru the range to "D", also the top radiator tank has a slight leak and will need repaired before any long drives are made. I have in hand the clean and clear California title/ownership certificate on this Chevy. The car is located in Moreno Valley, California 92551 (Southern California) near March Air Base. I encourage personal inspections and am available Monday-Saturday 8am-5pm for personal viewing. Serious bidders please email for address/phone and directions. If you are unable to view the vehicle in person, ask for specific pictures or email for my number and I will go over the vehicle with you completely and answer all questions and concerns. As you can tell from my 100% perfect feedback, I am honest and accurate in all of my listings and I want every buyer to know exactly what they are getting and be pleased with their purchases from me. I have been in the automotive industry all of my life and do know what I am looking at, I also know that others may see things differently and realize the possibility of overlooking something when describing a vehicle, so communication is very important! Please ask questions or request specific pictures if needed. IMPORTANT BIDDER REQUIREMENTS, PLEASE READ: Bid to own, out of respect for all bidders I will never offer local or early sales, please do not email me asking to do so. All vehicles must be paid for within 7 days of auctions end and picked up within 30 days. Bidding on Ebay enters you into a legal contract, we do not tolerate non-paying bidders and all non-payers are turned over to collections. If you have a "0" feedback rating and no Paypal account or have ever had a non-payment strike, you may not bid on this item at all, I will just cancel it. SHIPPING INFO: I can deliver anywhere in Southern California or will gladly work with your shipping company. I also will assist your transporter in loading if needed.
