This is a truck that was parked and stored inside from 1958 to present. I have owned it for five years.  It came from the NE corner of the state, and other than the patina and dings you see, it has no rust or cancer. It has only 41,000 original miles, has all original paint, and still bears the factory cab pin stripe and white paint in the grill. It has not been buffed or touched up, and would be a great truck to restore or drive as-is.  I stopped it at just cleaning it up, so a person can see exactly what it is.

It has a rebuilt 1955-57 235 engine with less than 100 miles on it, and a 4 speed transmission. It has a new radiator, rebuilt starter and generator, clutch, and all new brakes with silicone fluid. It was converted to 12 volts, but none of the wiring was cut, to maintain the condition of the original wiring. 

Everything is well preserved, the wiring, gauges, interior, including the original wood in the bed. The seat, door panels, and headliner  are in great condition, and it has a seat cover that was installed when the truck was new. It does have dings and patina that you can see, feel free to ask if you need more or additional information.

The truck bears an original plate with permanent antique registration. 

Also there is the original owner's manual, and the original key. In addition to a clear Oregon title in my name, I also have the early title stamped "Souvenir" by Oregon Motor Vehicles.

The truck is advertised locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

This truck is sold as-is, with no warranty expressed or implied. I will ship the truck, and am willing to store it after the auction ends, but that needs to be agreed upon and worked out between us prior to the end of the sale.

Feel free to contact me with questions by email, or call 503-551-8189.

    In response to several questions, I have chassis photos to add, and a few things I forgot to mention. 

    The frame is in great shape, no rot. All the lights work, including the brake/ tail light. The heater works on high and low, and the defroster works as well. The wipers work also. The gas gauge had the resistor installed, worked fine, but I have noticed the needle stick a few times, so I believe it is the sending unit. They are about $50 for a new one.

    I also rebuilt the Ranco water control valve for the heater. 

    If you look at the one picture from the driver's door, you can see the oil change sticker from Enterprise Shell, with the date and mileage from 1956. Not a big deal, but kinda cool.

    Thanks for the interest.

    Weekly Recap: Lamborghini to build SUV

    Sat, May 30 2015

    Finally, Lamborghini will build a sport utility vehicle. The Italian supercar maker confirmed this week that it will launch a luxury SUV in 2018. It will be built at Lamborghini's soon-to-expand factory in Sant'Agata Bolognese in Italy, and will double the company's current sales volume. Lamborghini did not announce a name for the vehicle or other details, but noted a concept version, the Urus, was displayed at the Beijing motor show in 2012. It will be sold around the world, but it's expected to be a critical offering in the United States, China, and the Middle East. The automaker projects the SUV will sell about 3,000 units per year, and it will be the third product in Lamborghini's portfolio. It currently sells the Huracan and Aventador supercars. "The introduction of a third model line endorses the stable and sustainable growth of the company and signifies for us the beginning of a new era," Lamborghini chief executive Stephan Winkelmann said in a statement. The project is also a boon for Italy, which will get 500 new jobs in the Emilia Romagna region as Lamborghini's factory will nearly double in size. Ian Fletcher, principal analyst for IHS Automotive, said the SUV will position Lamborghini for future growth. "It could well also bring new customers to the brand [who] may find the dramatic styling of Lamborghini products appealing, but find its typical sports cars restrictive," he said. "If it is a success, the SUV could be a catalyst to Lamborghini broadening its portfolio further." OTHER NEWS & NOTES GM invests in Chevy Camaro factory General Motors is investing $175 million to upgrade its factory in Lansing, MI, to build the 2016 Chevy Camaro. The investment will pay for new tooling and equipment. The improvements include three new paint systems and two new robotic framers. GM will add a second shift at the factory to build the Camaro, resulting in 500 jobs. The automaker had dropped the plant to one shift last year amid slow sales for its products, the Cadillac ATS and CTS. GM is spending $5.4 billion over the next three years to upgrade its US facilities. Last week, GM announced plans to spend $439 million to build a new paint shop for the Chevy Corvette. While the Camaro and Corvette plant improvements are intriguing to enthusiasts, GM also confirmed this week that it is investing $1.2 billion in its Fort Wayne (IN) factory that builds trucks.

    NHTSA closes book on Ford, GM probes of 600,000 vehicles

    Thu, Nov 27 2014

    US safety regulators have closed a pair of investigations into some 500,000 Ford Crown Victoria, Mercury Grand Marquis and Marauder sedans built between 2004 to 2007, and 100,000 Chevrolet Impala models from 2014. The Ford investigation focused on rusting heat shields, which may become dislodged and jam the steering, according to Reuters. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found that this happened very rarely. In fact, of the ten incidents filed with the government safety watchdog, six came from a single police department, which evidently had some sort of problem with its reporting. As for the Impala, the NHTSA investigators attributed two incidences of "unintended autonomous braking" to user error. In both cases, the vehicles were involved in rear-end collisions. According to GM investigators, it's believed that drivers accidentally activated the electric parking brake, causing the collisions. The vehicles in question were rental cars.

    Best 3rd Row SUVs of 2024

    Wed, Oct 19 2022

    If you plan on using a vehicle's third row a lot, let us at least make the suggestion that a minivan would be a smarter bet than anything you're going to see on this list of best three-row SUVs. Their third rows are bigger, more comfortable and easier to get to. The kids will definitely be happier. Here are our two top choices.  OK, now that that's out of the way, we totally get why minivans are totally depressing and that if the kids want to be happier, they can buy their own darn vehicle. You're buying, you're driving, you're being seen in it and you'd rather have a three-row SUV. Fair enough. Luckily, there are more choices than ever and they're really good. The best do a particularly good job of being family friendly without looking like a drab transportation appliance, although really, you can't go wrong with any of the mainstream three-row SUVs. Now, some of the luxury choices are a bit suspect, including those that are otherwise very appealing but have cramped third-row seats (the Genesis GV80 comes to mind). We're focusing on three-row SUVs here, so having a usable third row is a must.   In this list, we have broken things down into four sub-categories: Best Three-Row Crossover |  Best Full-size Three-Row SUV Best Luxury Three-Row SUV |  Best Flagship Luxury Three-Row SUV Note that we define crossovers as SUVs since most buyers use the terms interchangeably, but acknowledge that "crossover" is literally a vehicle with a car-like unibody structure as opposed to the truck-like, body-on-frame construction that traditionally has defined "SUV." In other words, we consider all crossovers SUVs, but not all SUVs are crossovers (specifically those in the full-size segment and some in the flagship luxury segment). Best Three-Row Crossover SUVs of 2024 2024 Honda Pilot Why it stands out: Exceptional storage and cargo space; unique second-row functionality; refined ride; versatile and capable TrailSport; advanced AWDCould be better: Subpar acceleration with lackadaisical transmission and engine response; so-so driver assistance tech Read our full 2024 Honda Pilot Review The Honda Pilot was completely redesigned for 2023. It maintains its predecessor's family friendly packaging and overall focus, but it has injected a welcome sense of style (especially in the TrailSport pictured above) that makes it stand out much better from the big crossover crowd.
