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.

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]
Sun, 03 Feb 2013The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]
Fri, 14 Dec 2012Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.
