1957 Napco Chevrolet 3100 Factory 4 Wheel Drive Big Back Glass With Parts Truck! on 2040-cars
Ottawa, Kansas, United States
|
Up for sale here I have a rare first year factory built 4 wheel drive 1957 Chevrolet Napco 3100 big window truck. The truck was built in the Willow Run, Michigan plant which is where a majority of the Napco trucks were built. It has a clear ks title in my name that matches the body and frame vin. It has a 235 and a 4 speed manual transmission which was the only way you could get a factory built 4wd Chevy in 57. The truck has all its original 4wd parts other than the warn locking hubs were swapped out for new powertrain products hubs at some point. The truck sits just under 7 feet tall. The truck is very solid all around but it has had the rockers replaced and the were installed incorrectly over the top of the step instead of under it. The passenger side lower fender looks to have been replaced as well and it doesn't fit that well I haven't tried to adjust it. There also appears to be some work done over the headlights where most of these trucks rust. The cab corners look nice. The doors appear to be nice and solid and open and close like they should. The steps and floor are very solid with just a few minor pinholes in them. There's no rust in the roof or window channels of the truck. The bed and tailgate are straight and solid but someone removed the wood and metal strips. The rear fenders have very minimal rust and some dings in the but are definitely usable. The front and rear bumpers are straight and usable. The rear bumper is a Redi Fit bumper that wraps around to the rear fenders and the parts truck has a Redi Fit bumper that stops short of the rear fenders so its your preference. The chrome grill has some dings in it and would need redone. The truck has 15" truck rallyes on it with one missing trim ring. The windshield is missing but the tinted big back glass is there and looks pretty good with no blistering or chips. Theres some door glass and vent glass thats in one piece but it is old and weathered and should be replaced. The 235 is disassembled but looks good and complete. The 4 speed shifts through the gears and has a new clutch in it. The transfer case also shifts properly. Theres some extra chrome door glass frames and alot of other loose parts. The truck is missing the seat, the gauges, the 3100 fender emblems, the headlight bezels, and the drivers side exterior door handle but the parts truck has all those parts. If you don't want the parts truck to save on transport costs I'll remove whatever parts you want me to and put them with the Napco. The parts truck is also a 57 Chevy 3100 but its a 2wd and it doesn't have a title or an engine. I can probably get a clear title for it if thats important to you but I haven't done it because I didn't feel the truck was a good builder due to the rust in headliner, windshield and back glass area. This truck has all the typical rust that this model truck gets from the cab forward but the bed and everything attached to it look really good. This auction is for both trucks with all the parts that I have for them and I'm selling them with no reserve. Early Napco trucks restored properly bring $45-$50k when done properly. If you need a shipping quote contact Ryan @ ASAP Transport 913-201-0133. Full payment within 7 days and a $500 deposit due through paypal within 48 hours. Thanks and good luck bidding.
I have a piece of plywood cut for the bed of the Napco so parts can be loaded in it and the parts truck will have tires that hold air for transport. I also didn't mention that I live within an hour of 3 major Chevy truck restoration parts suppliers (Jim Carter Classic truck parts, classic parts and LMC truck) so if a buyer wanted me to pick up parts for them and send them with the truck to save on shipping I can do that. I also get a 10% discount at LMC truck plus no sales tax with my account there. Only reason for selling is to fund my dream car 1967 GTX build. |

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
