1956 CHEVROLET PICKUP 3100 350 V8

UP FOR AUCTION IS MY 1956 CHEVY 3100 PICKUP. (TITLED AS 57)

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK SIX YEARS AGO FROM GOLDEN CLASSICS IN FLORIDA. SINCE THEN IT HAS BEEN DRIVEN 6700 MILES. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS REPLACED WHEN I FIRST TOOK POSSESSION OF THE TRUCK AS THE ORIGINAL ODOMETER WAS NOT WORKING. I DON’T KNOW THE ACTUAL MILEAGE PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP FOR THIS REASON.

IMPROVEMENTS ALSO MADE AT THAT TIME INCLUDED A NEW INTERIOR, STEERING COLUMN AND WHEEL, BRAKES, SIDE WINDOW GLASS, VENT WINDOWS, PEDALS, DOOR HANDLES, REAR WINDOW GLASS, WINDOW CRANKS, MIRRORS, WINDOW CHANNELS AND WEATHERSTRIPPING. THE SEATS ARE BUTTERY SOFT AND IN PERFECT CONDITION. I UNDERSTAND THE DONOR CAR FOR THIS TRUCK WAS A SEVENTIES CAMARO FOR THE FRONT CLIP, ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE IS OF COURSE A SMALL BLOCK 350 AND THE TRANS IS THE TURBO 350.

MORE RECENT IMPROVEMENTS INCLUDE LED LIGHTING FOR THE BRAKE LIGHTS AND TURN SIGNALS FRONT AND REAR, REAR SHOCKS, FRONT SWAY BAR, NEW DISTRIBUTOR AND WIRES, NEW FUEL PUMP, REPLACEMENT HEATER CORE, NEW WATER PUMP, NEW THERMOSTAT, CHROME VALVE COVERS, RADIATOR OVERFLOW CAN, NEW WATER HOSES, NEW BELTS, SONY CD PLAYER RADIO WITH BLUETOOTH,USB AND iPOD CONNECTIVITY, REAR SPEAKERS AND KICK PANEL SPEAKERS AS WELL AS A KENWOOD SUB-WOOFER. THERE WERE MANY OTHER PARTS REPLACED. ALL RECEIPTS WILL COME WITH PURCHASE.

THIS TRUCK HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND IS RUNNING WELL.

THE WHEELS ARE CRAGAR AND ARE IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE TIRES ARE NEW (NOV ) KUHMO TA11’s. THE FRONT WHEEL SIZE IS P205/75R15. REAR IS P235/75R15.

DISC BRAKES UP FRONT AND DRUM BRAKES IN THE REAR.

THE TRUCK HAS BEEN KEPT IN CLIMATE CONTROLLED GARAGE DURING MY OWNERSHIP. NON-SMOKER.

THE MUFFLERS ARE NOT BRANDED AND WERE INSTALLED PRIOR TO MY PURCHASE. THEY ARE NOT LOUD OR RUMBLING. JUST ABOUT AN AVERAGE EXHAUST NOTE.

THE PAINT IS IN VERY NICE CONDITION BUT I WOULD NOT CONSIDER IT A HIGH END, SHOW QUALITY PAINT JOB. THERE IS A SMALL AREA INSIDE THE BED BY THE LEFT REAR TIRE WHERE THE PAINT HAS SLIGHTLY BUBBLED AND THE TAIL GATE HAS A FEW IMPERFECTIONS. IT WAS THIS WAY WHEN I BOUGHT IT. OTHERWISE IT SHOWS WELL WITH ONLY NOMINAL WEAR.

THE CHROME IS IN PERFECT CONDITION AND I HAVE REFINISHED THE WOOD BED. THIS TRUCK HAS A GREAT STANCE AND HANDLES WELL. IT HOLDS IT’S OWN WITH MODERN TRAFFIC AS ACCELERATION AND MAINTAINING HIGHWAY SPEEDS IS NOT AN ISSUE.

I TAKE THIS TO CAR SHOWS AND CRUISE NIGHTS AND OF COURSE THE OCCASIONAL TRIP TO THE HOME IMPROVEMENT CENTERS. I HAVE TAKEN IT ON SEVERAL LONG TRIPS ON THE TURNPIKE WITHOUT CONCERN.

ALL LIGHTS, TURN SIGNALS, WIPERS, FLASHERS,RADIO, HEATER AND DEFROSTER OPERATE AS THEY SHOULD.

HAVING BOUGHT THIS AS A MODIFIED VEHICLE I CAN’T SPEAK TO THE METHODS USED DURING THE BUILD. REGRETFULLY I WON’T BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS REGARDING ITS’ HISTORY PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP. PHOTO’S OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.

I HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY HAPPY WITH THIS TRUCK AND AM SELLING DUE TO RELOCATION AND DOWNSIZING. I WILL BE FORTHCOMING REGARDING ALL QUESTIONS AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE THIS GO TO AN APPRECIATIVE OWNER.

I WILL PROMPTLY RESPOND TO ALL INQUIRIES>

KINDLY DO NOT ASK THE RESERVE PRICE. I PREFER THIS TO BE A TRUE AUCTION AND WILL NOT CONSIDER A BUY IT NOW. IT IS BEING MARKETED LOCALLY SO THIS LISTING MAY BE REMOVED PRIOR TO THE AUCTIONS END.

SHIPPING COSTS TO BE AT THE BUYERS EXPENSE. I WILL GLADLY ASSIST IN THE ARRANGEMENTS.

WINNING BIDDER MUST PLACE A 1000 DOLLAR NON-REFUNDABLE DEPOSIT IN MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT WITHIN 24 HOURS AFTER AUCTION END.

BALANCE OF PURCHASE AMOUNT TO BE WIRE TRANSFERRED TO MY BANK ACCOUNT WITHIN 3 WORKING DAYS. CLEAR TITLE WILL BE PROVIDED IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING PAYMENT. I WILL SEND OVER-NIGHT BY FEDEX IF NOT LOCAL.

I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THIS AUCTION AT ANY TIME AND WITHOUT NOTICE.
