For auction is a 1959 Chevrolet Apache Fleetside pickup truck. This is a two-owner truck that has spent its entire life in the South. This truck is ready for restoration or can be customized. The following work was done:

Replaced gas tank and fuel sending unit
Performed brake work - pedal pads, master cylinder, front and rear wheel cylinders, front and rear brake hose, bottom hose, brake shoes, and fluid
Recovered the bench seat

The paperwork for this work is included in the sale. The VIN is 3B59B105875. The truck was painted, but it is not the best paint job. This is a collectible truck from the 1950's as such, there is no warranty - expressed or implied - with this truck. The truck is sold "as is." The truck is in great condition for its age, but it is a very old truck. As such, please do not expect perfection. Please note, one of the side windows is cracked. There is some rust visible and is likely more around the truck, but as you can see in the pictures, there is nothing visibly wrong with the exterior or interior of this truck.

The odometer states there are about 50,872 miles on the truck, but I do not know if this mileage is accurate or how many miles are on the truck. The engine is a 6-cylinder 235 with a 3-speed manual transmission. The truck was recently serviced and it runs. A new battery was installed and the carburetor was cleaned. There is no current safety inspection - thus this truck is not legal to drive on the road. The tires hold air, but they are rather old. The truck does have a title.

The truck is currently stored in Lancaster, Virginia - zip code 22503.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
