1959 Chevrolet Apache
Big Window Pickup
This is a completely restored 1959 Chevrolet Apache pickup. Less than 500 miles since the restoration was completed in June 2013. The truck is powered by a 383 Stroker with a Holley 4 barrel carb. The block is new and came from Skip White in Tennessee. A small to medium Cam gives this powerful engine just the right deep, lumpy sound. A 1800 stall converter has been added. It has a late model front with serpentine belt and is rated at just over 400 H.P. The 700r4 automatic transmission shifts smoothly and creates a modest 2300 RPM at 70 MPH.
The underside has been updated with a 1980 Camaro front clip and rear end. A Heidt's 4 link suspension kit and dual sway bars have been installed for stability in driving. The exhaust has been upgraded to a complete stainless steel system from the headers to the tips.
Additional mechanical upgrades include a Champion aluminum 4 core radiator, Derale dual electric cooling fans and Wilwood disc brakes on all 4 wheels.
Now for the creature comforts and cosmetic upgrades. The cab includes a Dakota digital dash instrument cluster, a Ididit chrome tilt steering column, Specialty brand 1 piece glass power windows, a double DIN CD/DVD player with GPS, shaved door handles with electric poppers and a 2 speed electric windshield wiper motor. To top off the interior are bucket seats from a mid 60's Chevy covered in black leather and Ostrich skin. Also, a brand new under dash AC and heat unit has been installed and works great.
The truck sports a aluminum tread plate bed. It is hinged toward the rear and hides the 20 gallon gas tank which has been relocated from the cab for safety and to eliminate the gas odor in the truck. Dual electric fuel pumps make sure the engine is fed properly. The battery has been relocated from under the hood to dress up the engine bay. The brake booster is located under the cab. Hidden hinges are located inside the bed on the tailgate. The original chain support system was left in place. The rear bumper is from a El Camino.
The truck rides on Ridler polished wheels and Michelin Pilot tires. Both are brand new.
Finally, this truck has been finished with PPG Hot Rod Black enamel paint. The original hood and front fender emblems were removed and replaced with a Bel-Air hood emblem. This goes well with the matte finish of the paint. There is just enough chrome to give the exterior a little pop.
I have described this truck to the best of my ability. This truck is 54 years old and does not come with a warranty. I strongly suggest you inspect the truck prior to bidding. I will make the truck available for inspection by you or your representative during the auction.
I do not provide shipping for this truck. However, I will gladly work with the carrier of your choice in getting the truck loaded for delivery to you. My zip code is 29072 if you would like to secure shipping quotes. All shipping costs are the responsibility of the purchaser.
I reserve the right to end this auction early as this truck is also for sale locally.

GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
