Up for sale is a 1961 V6 Chevy stepside truck. This is the three speed manual transmission shortbed model. A great project truck in great condition, so you can skip all the hard and expensive work of disassembling, replacing, and rebuilding the entire thing. 


Front tires are brand new with only four or five miles on them but the rear tires are due for replacement.

It used to be a farm truck, and has also been on a few hunting trips as well so it has undoubtedly seen some wear. Despite the appearance this is a great little truck and fully capable of being so for many years to come, and does not have as much rust as appears, the pictures don't do justice. Before being painted black, the original color appears to have been a burnt orange brown and this is not rust. It seems the engine may not have had as many miles on it as many trucks that age. It is already in much better condition than it was when I found it. Drives very smoothly but may overheat on extremely hot days if driving at high speeds.

I originally intended to fully restore this but a change in jobs and lack of time and money has prevented me from this. It is currently parked on the street outside my front lawn as I lack a garage, and I would rather it be where it is protected and getting fixed up rather than left rotting in the elements, it's just too pretty and unique to be left to that.

The engine is in very good and running shape, with no appearance of rust damage or bad fixing jobs. All the seals are good, and after installing new points, plugs, starting mechanism, battery, and tune up the thing started right up. 

The brakes are stuck! I haven't had the time or means to fix that, so I recommend towing it home, if not on your own than for hire.

The only thing that needs a lot of work is the exterior, particularly around the doors where there is significant rust and damage from neglect and shoddy repair. 

The original wood bed is in definite need of replacement, rotted out and covered by a piece of ply board that is itself rotted out. 

This predates power steering and power brakes, you'll have to put a little push into maneuvering it. It also lacks air conditioning, and originally a radio, this is a very basic old truck. Currently, there is a radio that was retrofitted by a previous owner, but no speakers connected to it. The fan is not working but after being professionally checked almost everything, including the heater are perfectly intact and a very easy fix. 

Transport or shipping is NOT included in the price or listing, and I'm not sure how to go about reaching businesses that specialize in this, so you'll have to arrange that on your own. There are quite a few websites that offer price compare and allow bids from multiple services to ship it to you for the desired rates. 

If you have any further questions or are nearby and would like to schedule a time to take a look at this truck yourself contact *Jules Leroy, 406-694-2824* and I will try to answer as best I can. However, I am not an expert on old vehicles and vehicle repair, much of the work done I had paid for by a someone who owns a truck of the same vintage and model and knew what they were doing. 

I would like to further add: vehicle comes with a title, which will be mailed directly to winning bidder after payment.

One of the world's largest muscle car museums is auctioning off its cars

Mon, Jan 11 2021

Rick Treworgy's Muscle Car City is one of the biggest collections of high-performance American cars in the world. With over 200 cars of mostly GM makes, it's a mecca for fans of the golden age of Detroit iron. Unfortunately, the museum will be shutting its doors for good on Jan. 17 and auctioning off most of its assets with no reserve. The collection is, to put it bluntly, astounding. Advertised as a combined 65,000-plus horsepower, it occupies a 60,000-square-foot retail space in Punta Gorda, Fla., in a former Walmart store. It make sense when you learn that founder Rick Treworgy made his fortune in the commercial real estate business. As a hobby, he began to amass a truly jaw-dropping collection of muscle cars, filling out a collection that often has every year of a particular model represented, or a grouping of the rarest and highest-performance option packages of that year or model. Often, Treworgy bought placeholders while scouring the country for even rarer versions. It helps that Muscle Car City also houses a showroom where unwanted cars are sold, as well as its own speed shop that stocks plenty of parts. There's even a '50s-style diner called Stingray's Bar and Grill. According to a 2014 episode of Car Crazy, Treworgy has 80 Corvettes alone, more than the actual Corvette Museum. Among them are 20 models from 1967, one of Treworgy's favorites. The rest span the decades from 1954 (he once had a '53 but sold it) to a recently acquired 2020 C8, which, according to The Drive, has only 300 miles on the odometer. You like Impalas? There are models of every year from 1958 to 1969. El Caminos? He's got 'em from 1964 to 1972. Novas? Every year from 1963 to 1970 is represented. Most are the more desirable examples of each breed, with four-speed transmissions, the biggest blocks, and unicorn option packages like a factory 1965 Z16 SS396 Chevelle, one of 200 that were ordered off-menu at Chevy dealerships. And don't even get us started on the Camaros, which include not one, but two COPO 1969s. Treworgy even owns the only known surviving example of a 1936 Chevrolet Phaeton, of which only seven were built. On top of it all, many of these cars are concours quality and have won awards at prestigious car shows. While it's sad to see a collection like this broken up, Treworgy told The Drive that he'd been planning to retire next year anyway. However, the COVID-19 pandemic sped up those plans, greatly reducing the number of visitors to his museum.

2019 Chicago Auto Show Truck Roundup: Toyota, Ford, Chevy and Ram bring it

Thu, Feb 7 2019

The 2019 Chicago Auto Show features an array of heavy-duty trucks, smaller trucks, other kinds of trucks, and well, more trucks. That means new versions of the 2020 Chevy Silverado Heavy Duty and 2020 Ford F-150 Super Duty, a refreshed 2020 Toyota Tacoma and a trick tailgate on the 2019 Ram 1500. Sound a little crazy? Morgan Stanley research says 68 percent of passenger vehicles sold in the United States last year were classified as light trucks. So actually, bring on the trucks! Here's some impressions on the Chicago reveals, plus our take on the 2020 Subaru Legacy sedan. — Toyota updated the 2020 Tacoma with some light but useful enhancements. An improved infotainment has new audio features and larger screens. The grilles and wheels are different, but nothing drastic. Toyota still offers nice differentiation across the Tacoma lineup, and the design tweaks are subtle but thoughtful. Toyota tends to stretch out the Tacoma's generations, so it's wise to keep modifying and iterating to keep pace in this competitive segment. — Staying with Toyota, the Land Cruiser Heritage Edition is a legit special model that fans of this historic nameplate will appreciate. An anchor of the Toyota line in the United States since 1958, the Land Cruiser's roots date to Toyota's 1951 BJ Series military vehicle. Two colors, Midnight Black and Blizzard Pearl, are exclusive to this model and look slick against the blacked-trimmed grille and lightly bronzed wheels. Inside, bronze stitching is used on the steering wheel, seats, center console and other parts. The best part? Land Cruiser spelled out in script on the rear pillar. It's a limited model (1,200 units) and pricing isn't out yet, but that badge is probably why you buy this SUV. — The 2020 Chevy Silverado HD gets imposing looks that differentiate it from the light-duty range, an eye-popping max towing capability of 35,500 pounds and some updated powertrain elements. A new gas-fed V8 that serves as the entry point is one of the highlights, and the 6.6-liter mill makes 401 hp and 464 lb-ft, up significantly over the old 6.0-liter. There's also a new Allison 10-speed transmission teaming with the Duramax diesel to achieve that lofty max towing figure. With an updated trailering system and a larger cabin, the Silverado HD range is comprehensively remade to fight Ram and Ford. — The 2020 Ford Super Duty is also redone, and like the Chevy line, it gets a new gas V8 checking in at 7.3 liters.

Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand

Sun, Sep 28 2014

We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.
