1958 Chevrolet Apache 3100 Stepside Pickup

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous prices to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August, all offered without reserve, after emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

Introduced as part of the revamped Task Force lineup, the 1958 Chevrolet Apache replaced the utilitarian naming conventions of earlier Chevy pickups with a bold, Western‑inspired identity. Its redesign echoed Chevrolet’s passenger cars and featured quad headlights, a wider grille, and more sculpted body lines.

Under the hood, buyers could choose from a range of inline‑six and V8 engines, including the newly available 348ci V8, which delivered unprecedented power for a light‑duty pickup. Inside features included improved seating, better weather sealing, and optional comfort and convenience accessories, which reflected a cultural shift: trucks were no longer just tools, but personal vehicles. The truck could be had in stepside or smooth-sided fleetside models.

This ’58 Stepside is finished in teal with black vinyl upholstery. Additional features include a wood-planked bed, painted steel wheels, wraparound windshield, dual headlights, Signal Stat turn signals, and heater/defroster.

This 1958 Chevrolet Apache is represented by a Broad Arrow Specialist and is now offered at no reserve with a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is. 

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Hagerty Marketplace representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM to 6PM local time beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
