1959 Chevrolet Apache 3100 short bed step side with matching customized motorcycle and trailer. A museum finished total frame off restoration and tribute to the Apache Indians.The underside of the truck is better than what it looked like when it came out of the dealership in 1959, it is PRISTINE NO RUST ANYWHERE. This classic truck has a blend of original equipment plus Native Americana. There is NO other 1959 Chevrolet Apache like this in the world. I like to call it a 1 of none, you can try to find, but it doesn't exist. A 5-year process of design and consulting with teams of individuals around the country. These teams were mechanics, artists and painters who collaborated on this unique project. This is a special truck that is a work of art and a collectors dream. Countless awards, trophy's and write ups have been achieved with this special truck. The added feature is both the truck and motorcycle you can drive and ride, they both run beautifully and flawless. The list of customization's is endless and must be seen in person. There has been meticulous attention to detail carried throughout both truck and motorcycle. Here is an example of what you will see and have.

This whole truck and motorcycle combo is a must seen, the truck has never seen rain, doesn't even come out on cloudy days. Every year sealed in a zipper bag over the winter with a battery tender, so it sees no elements. Truly this truck must be seen in person or have inspected by third party. Appraisal is flawless on this vehicle with all 1 out of 5, rating 5's for interior and exterior. You will not be disappointed with this truck, a one of a kind, to exist nowhere. I have most all documentation on all the work that has been done on this truck as well as a photo book during the process. Enthusiasts who are looking for a museum piece, or a collectable that does not exist anywhere and can drive both will truly appreciate it. This combo can go anywhere in the world and be an eye popping and jaw dropping experience. I am not in a hurry to sell but moving to my next project, thank you for your interest.
