Up for sale is my 1961 Chevrolet Apache 20 (3/4 ton) BIG WINDOW Custom Cab pickup. It is a very hard to find model just in being a 1961 Custom Cab, but is even rarer that it came as you see it with the highly sought after stainless steel cab and body mouldings. It has all of its original wood bed floor and is undented inside the bed because it had a camper shell on it all its life. The bed is nice overall and the tailgate is perfect and undented. It has the original #'s matching 235 straight 6 cylinder engine coupled to its original 3 speed manual transmission that came w/ the bigger optional 11" clutch. It has a new clutch, new brakes all around, new starter, new tune-up parts (coil, points, thermostat etc) new carbeurator and it runs like a sewing machine. It only has 56K actual miles on it, and was kept in a pole barn all its life and just driven locally. However, the weather beat at the passenger side because of how it was always parked, so the pass side sheetmetal is quite a bit rustier than the drivers side but I have a replacement passenger side front fender, passenger door and although not really needed, I even have a spare passenger side bedside or a whole super nice longbed itself if someone wants these at extra cost to help restore it. I also have a nearly perfect solid 60-61 bubble hood someone could buy to use in the restoration.

It has all the expected rusty areas like the usual rust holes they all get along the door jamb sill plate where the doors shuts and a few in the corners of the floorpan where the kick panel meets the floor board but does not look to need pans. I think all can be fixed with the usual sheetmetal patching required on most 60's trucks. Will need outer cab floor work and probably rockers and cab corners as expected. The rear window is cracked badly but I have a replacement that goes with the truck. Door bottom on drivers door needs typical welding work, and pass side door needs full replacement. Drivers front fender is decent and workable, but not the pass side - it needs replaced. The grill support and radiator supports need work or replacement. Like I said, I have all the stuff you need to repair this truck if you want to make a deal to acquire the truck and the parts we can certainly toss some ideas around - I will work with you on this. Call me at 256-486-1988

Overall, its a great driver and "patina truck" in that it sports 100% of its original Red and White paint and the kick panel tag reflects the correct rare red and white factory paint and trim codes. The SUPER RARE stainless trim is all pretty much in tact minus the pass side door piece and some of it will need dings and dents removed if you restore it for show. Everything on this truck works I think except the gas guage, and the temp guage. The the radio hole is mildly and neatly cut and needs to be fixed. I have a patch panel for the radio hole. I was driving this truck pretty often last year and it has never smoked, or tried to not run - very dependable engine and total drivetrain. The 3 speed column has been known to hang up occasionally going into 2nd if you are not easy enough with it, but that could be because I am not too good at driving a manual trans truck. All my others are automatics.

Call Steve at 256-486-1988 to ask questions - Come see and drive it in Joppa AL 35087 (a few miles outside Arab AL 35016).

Chevy might've pulled out of NASCAR if it weren't for new Gen 6 car

Wed, 20 Feb 2013

We've been on the fence with NASCAR for some time now. On one hand, it's some of the closest racing anywhere in motorsports, with actual passing and door-handle-to-door-handle action as a matter of course. But on the other, it's become template racing - a personality-driven sport more about the drivers than any sort of loyalty to a particular automaker. The Car Of Tomorrow format really rammed that message home, with a racecar's identity coming down to little more than headlamp stickers slapped on the nose. That's not necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, but we've wondered for some time what's in it for the automakers, who pay big money to stay in a series that has had little increasingly little do with street car sales, let alone innovation.
Apparently General Motors was beginning to wonder the same thing. In a new ESPN report, Rick Hendrick, team owner of Hendrick Motorsports, suggests that GM would have seriously considered leaving NASCAR if it wasn't for the move away from the COT to the new Gen 6 racer. According to Hendrick, GM North America boss Mark Reuss spearheaded the charge away from the 2007 COT and toward a racecar with clearer automaker ties - cars like the new Chevrolet SS racer shown above. Learn more about the fight for a closer-to-production look in the ESPN story at the link.
Now, if we could just get more rear-wheel drive V8 coupes into showrooms....

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Fri, 15 Mar 2013

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
