Tex Mex Motors star Rabbit makes a profitable deal on Apache 1961 Chevrolet C10

At the end of Tex Mex Motors season 2, episode 2 Scooter Wreyton got a tip about an Apache truck from his contract Carlos Cabe Tejeda.

The contact told him that his friend won an Apache 1961 Chevrolet C10 from a betting game and he was looking to get rid of it. Cabe added that while he hadn't seen the car and was unsure of its condition, he felt like it was "a good bargain."

Rabbit was still upset about the tip Cabe had given them previously. He had promised they would find a '52 Chevy Fleetline in great condition at a junkyard in Chihuahua, Mexico. However, when they arrived, the car was in poor condition, leaving Rabbit deeply disappointed.

Still, Rabbit was curious to check out the Apache truck as he felt that it could turn out to be a good deal.

"Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, that ain't happenin'. But Apache trucks, stylish, cool, and versatile. You can restore 'em, hot-rod 'em, trick 'em out any way you like. We'd be crazy not to check this tip out, if it's real," the Tex Mex Motors star said in his confessional

Following this, Rabbit and Scooter drove over to Juarez, Mexico to check out the Apache 1961 Chevrolet C10. While the truck was not in good condition, upon his first look, Rabbit felt that it had some "potential."

The Tex Mex Motors duo discussed that the truck needed a lot of work and it was missing a '61 hood, engine, and transmission.

"I think, at the end of the day, the little short-bed C10 will be a winner. Short-bed trucks are so popular, they're taking long-bed trucks, cutting them in half and shortening them because we're running out of short-beds. They are the choice of anybody that's customizing, building a hot rod, or whatever," Rabbit explained

The Tex Mex Motors star added that these types of short-bed Chevrolet trucks sell well and are extremely desirable. It would be a win for anyone who gets their hands on an original short-bed first-gen C10. Scooter chimed that the trucks were extremely popular vehicles and pretty hot in the Borderland.

The owner, Daniel Jr. asked $2500 for his Apache truck. Scooted tried to bring the price down to $1500, however, the one was cemented on his original ask price and said that he was also waiting for two more potential buyers. Finally, Rabbit agreed on the asking price if the owner could produce a title for it.

"This takes me back to the days when I was workin' new car dealerships, and you get that guy that's just gonna, you know, get the best deal and, "I'm gonna work you over!" But at the end of the day, though, I guarantee we'll be the big winners on the other end with this Apache," Rabbit reacted to the deal.

Before the duo could leave with the truck, its alleged real owner arrived at the location. He told Daniel Jr. that he never won the truck in the bet and the Apache was his instead. The supposed owner asserted that the truck wouldn’t be sold to anyone.
