This is a very rare, hard to find and desirable, 1961 Chevrolet 1/2 Ton Apache 10 Panel Truck.  Wanted to keep this to restore but I have too many projects, so this one has to go.  This panel truck was previously used as a delivery van. Mileage reads 386163, it is unknown if that is the actual mileage.  The vehicle sat stationary for several years, the engine runs but needs a tune up. Smokes a little bit of white, can’t tell if it is because of the Seafoam I put in after I got it running or if it sat for so long. It does start easily and runs good and has good oil pressure. Automatic transmission has a B&M shifter that moves easily from gear to gear when driving and has a transmission cooler. New battery and custom steering wheel and torsion air front end.

Engine is a V8, I looked up the numbers and it appears to be a 267 with a 2 BBL carb. Body has rust in the usual spots for this type of vehicle and there has been some body work done but it is in fairly good condition for a vehicle that is 53 year old vehicle.  There is a dent in the right rear quarter panel as noted in photos. Window glass is good all-around except a crack in passenger side wing window from a BB. Driver’s side outside mirror has cracks and is loose. Company name has been sanded off so a new paint job will be a big improvement.

Interior has new black carpeting on floor up front, on rear and front door panels and up cargo area walls. Rear cargo area floor and wheel wheels are diamond plated steel welded to fit.  Bucket seats up front, dual chrome exhaust, and chrome wheels.  Has a stereo radio/cassette player with rear speakers. Parking lights work, headlights are not currently working and I haven’t had time to fully investigate that issue yet. Needs a turning signal switch. Original owner’s manual included. This is a really cool and unique vehicle, perfect for a custom car or rat rod project.  Ready to be completely restored or tuned up and driven.

Vehicle is sold as is, where it is. No warranty is expressed or implied. Clear MT title. $300 Pay Pal deposit required from winning bidder. Buyer is responsible for shipping. Vehicle must be paid for in full prior to shipping or pick up. Please feel free to contact me with any questions

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.

Fernando Alonso fails to qualify as Pagenaud takes Indy pole

Mon, May 20 2019

Former Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso narrowly failed to qualify for the Indianapolis 500 on Sunday as France's Simon Pagenaud took pole position for the May 26 race. Kyle Kaiser beat out Alonso for the final spot in the 33-car field when he finished third, one spot ahead of the Spaniard, in a six-car shootout that determined the Indy 500's last row. The 23-year-old Kaiser, the last driver to take the track, averaged 227.372 mph for his four laps, a mere 0.019 mph ahead of Alonso's 227.353 mph average in the McLaren-prepared Chevrolet. "We never surrendered. We kept trying," Alonso, 37, told reporters after a tough week at the famed speedway. The Spaniard crashed his Chevrolet in practice on Wednesday and missed nearly two full days of practice while a back-up car was prepared. Then he tried five times on Saturday to qualify, puncturing a tire on the first attempt. Alonso had a completely new set up for Sunday's shootout but could not get the speed he needed to qualify. "I think the car felt better today than what we had yesterday. (So I am) happy with things we tried," he told reporters before learning he had not qualified. Pagenaud had a four-lap average speed of 229.992 mph to become the first Frenchman to take the pole since Rene Thomas in 1919. "It's just amazing," Pagenaud, who last week won the IndyCar Grand Prix on the track's road course, told NBC Sports. "Obviously last week was amazing, but this is even more special." He will be joined by Ed Carpenter (229.889) and Spencer Pigot (229.826) on the front row. But the Cinderella story belonged to Kaiser, the 33rd qualifier. "I don't think I can wrap my mind around what we just did," he said after bumping Alonso from the field. "This is all the credit to the team. They've been working non-stop trying to get this car ready for us and they did everything that we needed to get into this field."
