Im letting go of my friend Butch Walkers 1959 Chevy 3100 Apache fleetside. Affectionately named "Pearl" for obvious reasons.... 


You may have seen this truck last year on ebay which is where we got it from. Its not the same truck anymore! Where there was, literally NO SUSPENSION, we had it reworked with monroe shocks and leaf springs to sit at a low but comfortable to drive level. The white walls were stripped in favor of classic black tires and the engine received a full tune up/fluid change! I just replaced the transmission rear main seal as well as the slip yoke and Universal joint. New belts for the alternator and a strong battery.  The engine runs smooth and at a steady cool level. Power steering and brakes make stopping and turning a breeze. It was converted to an automatic but still retains the original dash shifter. The Diamond gauge cluster works (except for temp... see aftermarket gauge) as well as the heat which is STRONG. Kick panels function properly. It tracks straight down the road and handles great with strong get up and go from the motor with edlebrock carbs.



Its a "turn key" (technically push button) truck

Its set up to drive and be used as a truck. Its not a trailer queen but its ready to run and catch some looks


Im an honest seller so I wont go without mentioning what I feel is of concern with the truck although only a few....

  • The Bed was done with plywood and is peeling and while structurally sound its not the prettiest. An easy and cheap fix with a few buddies and some lumber
  • The truck sat for 3 weeks in the Malibu sun with a full tank of gas which caused it to vapor out of the cap. What resulted was a discoloration and peeling just below the cap
  • When the truck has sat for a bit, upon startup it emits a puff of smoke which clears. I assume valve guides or even a valve adjustment would fix (although not necessary to run)


The truck is for sale locally and I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. 
A $500 deposit is due via paypal within 24 hours with the remaining balance due in cash/money order.

Nissan Leaf keeps plug-in vehicle sales crown for 6th straight month

Thu, May 1 2014

And Nissan makes it 14 in a row. For the 14th straight month, the all-electric Leaf has had "record sales," according to Nissan's marketing team. What that means is that for that particular month (in this case, April) no matter what year you look at, the car sold more than it ever did before. For April 2014, the 2,088 Leafs sold represents a 7.8-percent increase from 2013. Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said in a statement that the "new market" of Cincinnati made the top 25 list for Leaf sales areas in April, so the car's popularity continues to ebb and flow across the US. Over at Chevy, the Volt sold 1,548 units in April, reaching a year-to-date total of 5,154. The Leaf is outpacing that with 7,272 YTD sales. In 2013, the Volt outsold the Leaf by about 500 vehicles, but Leaf sales are up 33 percent year-over-year while Volt is down 7.1 percent. The Leaf has also outsold the Volt for six straight months. But we're excited for every eco-car sale, and that's why we'll have our monthly detailed write-up of the rest of the plug-ins, hybrids and diesel vehicles available soon. Until then, discuss.

Here's our 2016 Chevy Camaro mega-gallery, live from Belle Isle

Mon, May 18 2015

Nearly 1,000 enthusiasts headed to Belle Isle in Detroit last weekend to witness the reveal of the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. Couldn't make it? We've got the next-best thing. Here's a mega-gallery of everything that happened. We've got the reveal of the car in all three of the colors that were on display: red, blue, and gray. We take you under the hood and inside the cabin of this new muscle car. Plus, you can view the exterior from every angle. Then we returned the next day to test drive the Camaro. That was only for journalists, but these pictures are just like being there. And even if you made it to the Motor City this weekend, click through all of these shots to get a better sense of the sixth-generation Camaro. Related Video:

Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady gives Chevy Colorado to Malcolm Butler [w/poll]

Tue, Feb 3 2015

Winning the Super Bowl, we'd imagine, is pretty sweet. Winning the MVP award at the Super Bowl, even more so – for many reasons, among them that you get a brand new Chevy Colorado, packed full of, you know... technology and stuff. Of course this year's Most Valuable Player was none other than Tom Brady, the New England Patriots quaterback who was crowned Super Bowl MVP for the third time and lead the Pats to win the Super Bowl for the fourth time. He makes tens of millions every season, and Mrs. Brady (a.k.a. Gisele Bundchen) probably makes an extraordinarily pretty penny herself. So what does one of the most successful and wealthy players in NFL history need with a new pickup truck? Not a whole lot, apparently: the Boston Business Journal reports that he gave the truck to Malcolm Butler, the rookie cornerback who intercepted Seattle Seahawks QB Russell Wilson's pass on the Patriots' one-yard line with only twenty seconds to go and sealed the victory for New England. Which strikes us as a fitting gesture, even if Brady did keep the MVP trophy for himself.
