I have up for sale my 1959 Chevy Apache 38. This is a barn find and has been mostly kept in barn find shape. The Title on "Mater" As my kids call him says make is from the Cherokee Manufacturing Company where it was born as a grain\livestock combo with a lift bed. The truck itself has 77,450 miles on it but the motor is not original. The Manual transmission shifts fine and sounds like the old typical 4 speed from the past. The rearend center section was a 5.32 Gear ratio and changed for something a little more road friendly and now is a 4.10 gear and the motor thanks me for that. The motor is a 400 cu inch with a 2 barrell carb. The carburator was rebuilt and runs good now, and the ignition is HEI instead of the old points. The 400 expells its bark through Headers to 3in. exhaust to dual stacks. The stacks are muffled and not straight pipes so they give off a nice deep mellow tone but sound great. The original grain/livestock combo bed was stripped off and a new flatbed was built to fit this truck, and retains the hydraulic dump bed (works). The Custom built flatbed has fold down sides and are removeable, and also has a hideaway gooseneck ball. All lights work on the truck and all the lights in the flatbed are LED. As for the Interior in the truck, I have a seat from a dodge in it just taking place until the original got re-upholstered. The original fits a little better and will go with the truck as will the original bed if wanted. The Deluxe heater was fully rebuilt with new coil, valve and cables and controls. This truck is a mans truck and takes a good arm to drive, as there is no power steering (not for sissys). The brakes work good but are not updated and still manual brakes, again you need a heavy foot for the beast. I believe the only thing that does not work are the old original vacuum windshield wipers, they move but don't move too fast.. The tires are period correct and as they are good for around town, I wouldn't trust them on a 1000 mile trip only because of their age. I have driven this truck quite a bit since I have gotten it done and love to drive and get the attention it deserves. I am selling so I can get on with another project I have stewing in my head. I must stress this truck is old school and there are no hot flashy extras and not updated for weiners. So here it is bid if you like it and win if you want it and you will have a unique REAL AS IT GETS, old truck. I will be happy to answer questions if you have them. I have the truck for sale locally and if my price is met locally I will reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.

Joe Flacco wins C7 Corvette along with MVP honors
Mon, 04 Feb 2013As part of a longstanding tradition, the MVP of Super Bowl XLVII, Joe Flacco, quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, was given a new car directly after the game and trophy celebrations. For 2013, that car is a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, and it was presented to Flacco by Rick Flick of Banner Chevrolet, a dealership in New Orleans that was wiped out by Hurricane Katrina in 2005 before returning to prominence as the only Chevy dealer in Orleans Parish.
Last year, Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning took home a 2012 Corvette GS Centennial Edition. Manning also won in 2008, when he selected a Cadillac Escalade Hybrid as his reward. In 2011, quarterback Aaron Rodgers accepted the keys to a Camaro convertible.
Though we're most definitely an auto-obsessed group, we did watch the Big Game along with nearly everyone else in America. And we've gotta say, as if winning the Super Bowl and receiving the Tiffany-designed Pete Rozelle Trophy wasn't enough for the multi-millionaire MVP athletes, a brand-new C7 seems like an awfully generous prize. Scroll down below for an official announcement from General Motors.
Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards
Tue, 27 Nov 2012Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
