1959 Chevrolet Apache 3100 on 2040-cars
Fountain Inn, South Carolina, United States
This stunning 1959 Chevrolet Apache 3100 pickup received a ton of time and money. It's a labor of love that has
resulted in a high quality, exceptionally clean, classic truck that delivers muscle car V8 performance and modern
comfort. It's the kind of pickup you'd build if you had the time, patience, skills and money, but instead, this is
turnkey ready so you can start enjoying it immediately.
Chrome bumpers, a bright grille, and those trick parking lamp housings dress up the truck, taking it beyond a mere
tool, and into the realm of cool custom. And no vintage pickup is complete without a beautifully finished wood bed.
Be prepared for plenty more custom work when you open the door. It starts with the custom tan leather bench that
has been stitched so the driver and passenger can have individual comfort. The door panels do a great job of mixing
the upholstery and exterior colors so that the whole atmosphere flows nicely, from the tan seats, to the red dash.
Your left hand will love the Grant steering wheel with glossy wood rim, and your right may never want to leave the
Lokar-style floor shifter. You get a Classic Instruments gauge package, and while that already provides you with
plenty of info, this custom build wants you completely informed. Thus, there's a tach mounted on the tilt steering
column, as well as a trio of auxiliary readouts under the dash. This pickup was built to be good to you and your
friends with added comfort features such as ice-cold R134a air conditioning, supplementary insulation on the
firewall, and a vintage style AM/FM stereo with an auxiliary input for you modern music player hidden in the glove
box. Sound proofing and has been added as well as power windows but the existing handles are utilized so as not to
disturb the aesthetics.
With so much invested in the interior and exterior to make this a great car show companion, you better believe thee
was plenty of consideration under the hood, too. The crate 350 cubic-inch small block looks fantastic with the
Chevrolet Performance air cleaner and matching valve covers, tidy wires, fresh hoses, and expensive polished
pulleys. But beyond looking great, this motor is built to be a true all-around performer. It's a Chevy crate V8
that has been thoroughly gone through, and then added a mild cam, and a Holley Sniper Fuel Injection System with a
controller in the glove box that allows you to change the fuel delivery settings. There's only about 6,800 miles
on the whole custom build. So you know this enhanced V8 fires up easily, and thanks to the H-pipe Flowmaster
exhaust, everyone knows there's something special under the hood. But this Chevy's appeal goes beyond the motor.
You have an upgraded independent front suspension, front disc brakes, power steering, and a 700R4 four-speed
automatic transmission w/overdrive. Starting to get the picture on this one? It's the classically cool pickup you
can drive anywhere.

GM Halts Sale Of Most Chevy Cruze Models
Fri, Mar 28 2014General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.

Autonomous tech will drive motorheads off the road
Thu, Nov 9 2017While autonomous technology could make car travel much safer and more efficient — and automakers and marketers are salivating over the prospect of a "passenger economy" that could potentially generate $7 trillion by 2050 — those of us who enjoy driving are not so stoked. Experts have predicted that as autonomous vehicles are deployed in large numbers, human-driven cars eventually could be outlawed on public roads due to the carnage they create, which is currently more than 41,000 deaths a year in the U.S. alone and climbing. Such scenarios have driving enthusiasts envisioning a "Red Barchetta" style nightmare becoming reality, making Rush lyricist Neil Peart a clairvoyant as well as one of rock's most badass skin-pounders. But there could be a couple of refuges left for motorheads, and they won't be on public roads. As Popular Science's Joe Brown points out in a recent editorial, we're seeing a wave of vehicles being offered by legit mainstream automakers that aren't made for public roads. The poster child of this vanguard is the 2018 Dodge Challenger SRT Demon, which comes with a crate full of goodies that lets you turn the already formidable street-legal muscle car into a drag-strip dominator. Brown also notes that two out of five of the Ford GT's driving modes are for use on the track, "catering to the $450,000 machine's club-racing clientele." We're also currently enjoying the heyday of production off-road-ready pickups that kicked off with the Ford Raptor in 2009. The latest salvo in this escalating war of overachieving trucks is the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that can take on the likes of California's Rubicon Trail without issue. Brown also gives a shout-out to his magazine's Grand Award Winner, the Alta Motors Redshift MX, which "isn't even allowed on public roads" and is "meant for bombing around motocross tracks, big backyards and single-track woods trails." If you follow Brown on Instagram, you know that he's also a two-wheel aficionado, and he points out that sales of off-road bikes are leaving street machines in the dust. Sales of off-highway motorcycles rose 29 percent between 2012 and 2016, according to the ÂMotorcycle Industry Council — compared to 6 percent for road-bike sales during the same period. "That's a nearly 400-percent drubbing," Brown remarks.
Bob Lutz says Tesla remains 'fringe' brand
Sun, Sep 28 2014We've said it before, we'll said it again: Bob Lutz gives great quotes. From his toilet-themed opinion of global warming to Toyota's deity status, the man knows how to get your attention. His latest? Saying that Tesla Motors is and will remain a fringe brand. Take that, Tesla fanbois. This, of course, is the same fringe company that prompted Lutz and his former colleagues at General Motors to start working on the Chevy Volt around eight years ago. The same fringe company that has easily outsold the similarly priced (but don't call it a competitor) Cadillac ELR with its Model S. Lutz did clarify that the fringe status will only last until Tesla comes out with a mass-market electric vehicle that has a range of 200 to 300 miles. Lutz was on CNBC talking about the TSLA stock's recent performance, and he pointed out that even Tesla CEO Elon Musk says that the California automaker's stock is overvalued these days. Despite its prevalence around these parts, Tesla is not yet a household brand. But the company is working hard to get a cheaper, long-range EV to market in the not-too-distant future, so this fringe thing may not last much longer than that show Fringe did.
