1961 Chevy Apache Pickup from a very dry area of Idaho. Nampa, Idaho gets about 8 inches of rain per year. This truck spent most of its life on 2 farms in the area before I brought it to Massachusetts. It was a special order truck getting the 235 economizer engine, 4 speed manual transmission and limited slip differential. It did not get a radio and never has had one with the radio delete plate still in place.

The Chevy has never been wrecked front or back where it has very straight lines a near perfect grill and the bed is very straight. There have been some dents in the sides which were repaired along with the front fender bottoms. There are some dings but no dangs. The frame only has surface rust and the floors are also nice originals. The carpet is new along with the floor mats to keep it looking nice. NOS sill plates too.

Mechanically the truck runs great, it is tight and quiet. It has a fresh and full tune up including points, plugs, condenser, wires, cap and rotor. The valves were adjusted by the "boss", my 80 year old mechanic friend that worked on these when they were new. He also changed the belts, hoses, coolant, oil, filter, oil filter hoses, dimmer switch, replaced the brushes in the alternator, gas tank float, gas sending unit, gas tank filler hose, rebuilt carburetor, changed the rear end gear oil and installed new front wheel bearings. There are a couple of oil drips that we did not get to. Warren had a good time with this one.

The paint is about 1 year old with a polished patina look done in the original dark blue with red showing through. The top is done in flat white along with the grill and rear bumper. There is also a hint of lighter blue under the dark blue. I give the paint a 7 something. It was never meant to be a perfect trailer queen. It is a vehicle to drive and enjoy that attracts a lot of attention.The door seals are new which have not seated yet, the doors will close but hard until they flatten out some. The paint inside is still original with some wear but not much for the age.

The engine compartment is nicely detailed down to the oil pan including the engine, bottom of the hood, inner fenders, air cleaner, horn, voltage regulator, crankcase tube, generator, intake manifold, master cylinder and heater core box, . The valve cover is the original blue paint. The oil pan and frame can be your project if you want to keep going

The bed wood is fresh along with new bolts and stainless strips. It is local red oak from the back yard of my friend Dave. He said I could have it but he didn't tell me we had to plane it, join it and daido cut the edges. The wood has 3 coats of marine varnish to make sure it lasts another 50 years.

All windows work as they should. The windshield has 1 rock chip.

All electricals work as they should including headlights, horn, turn signals, brake lights, and gauges.

The tires are new Goodyear Wranglers 225-70-15 with new Wheel Vintique Smoothie wheels and caps. The brakes are also recent. The emergency brake works too.

The truck drives very well. It is smooth and tight going down the road. Not a bunch of rattles but this is a basic vehicle when trucks were made to haul not drive like cars to the Ritz. I have had it on the highway but keep it under 60 MPH do to the farmer gearing.

It is a special order truck with the build sheet still behind the seat. Not too many of these got a limited slip differential or the economizer engine. The tire and jack tools are under the seat with the original spring type hold downs, but the jack is missing.

The heater core is by-passed. It has a new heater core but the control valve leaks which should be sealed or eliminated.

GM seeks national mandate for zero-emissions cars

Fri, Oct 26 2018

DETROIT — General Motors says it will ask the federal government for one national gas mileage standard, including a requirement that a percentage of auto companies' sales be zero-emissions vehicles. Mark Reuss, GM's executive vice president of product development, said the company will propose that a certain percentage of nationwide sales be made up of vehicles that run on electricity or hydrogen fuel cells. GM says a nationwide program modeled on such a requirement in California could result in 7 million electric vehicles, or EVs, on U.S. roads by 2030. California wants 15.4 percent of vehicle sales by 2025 to be EVs or other zero emission vehicles. Nine other states, including Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, have adopted those requirements. In January, California Governor Jerry Brown set a target of 5 million zero-emission vehicles in California by 2030. The Trump administration criticizes California's ZEV mandate, saying it requires automakers to spend tens of billions of dollars developing vehicles that most consumers do not want, only to sell them at a loss. Reuss told reporters that governments and industries in Asia and Europe "are working together to enact policies now to hasten the shift to an all-electric future. It's very simple: America has the opportunity to lead in the technologies of the future." A national mandate also would create jobs and reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and "make EVs more affordable," Reuss added. GM, the nation's largest automaker, will spell out the request Friday in written comments on a Trump administration proposal to roll back Obama-era fuel economy and emissions standards, freezing them at 2020 levels instead of gradually making them tougher. Under a regulation finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency at the end of the Obama administration, the fleet of new automobiles would have to get 36 miles per gallon by 2025, 10 mpg higher than the current requirement. But the Trump administration's preferred plan is to freeze the standards starting in 2021. Administration officials say waiving the tougher fuel efficiency requirements would make vehicles more affordable, which would get safer cars into consumer hands more quickly. GM on Thursday said it doesn't support the freeze, but wants flexibility to deal with consumers' shift from cars to less-efficient SUVs and trucks.

Official USPS Muscle Cars stamps coming to a mailbox near you

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

As much as our digital lives have cut down on our trips to the post office, there are still times that sending "snail mail" is necessary. With us car lovers in mind and philately in their hearts, the good folks at the United States Postal Service will introduce a new stamp design called "Muscle Cars" starting on February 22.
Designed by artist Tom Fritz, the new collection of stamps consist of five classic muscle cars: 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS, 1967 Shelby GT-500, 1966 Pontiac GTO and 1970 Plymouth Hemi 'Cuda. In addition to just the stamps, the USPS is also commemorating the new series with plenty of collectable memorabilia. Previous car-related stamps include 50s Sporty Cars from 2005 and 50s Fins and Chrome from 2008.
