1959 Chevy Apache Fleetside Project Truck 383ci Stoker & 350Ti 3 Speed off IROC CAMARO 

Submitted for your consideration is a partially restored 1959 Chevy Apache fleetside 1/2 ton pick up truck with a 383ci stroker small block, headers, 350ti turbo 3 speed automatic transmission, custom front wheel struts, and a 3:23 ratio matching positrac rear end that was all removed from a 1985 Chevy IROC Camaro. As you may know already these late 50's Chevy trucks are getting near impossible to find these days in good condition. Most of these dry restorable California classic trucks are being exported out of the country & sold for top dollar elsewhere. This is a private auction for your safety. FYI this classic truck is for sale locally. I recently bought this truck from the estate and the previous owner died just before its completion. I have a clear non op title. The estate seller said at least 12K+ in receipts had already been invested in both body & mechanical upgrades to date. If you were to purchase this 59 Apache fully restored built up as this one is as described you would be paying at least $35K I assure you. Vin number research states that this truck was built in Los Angeles, California back in 1959. This vintage 55 year old truck looks to be set up as a high end hot rod by the last builder. Check out the straight body alignment & ultra straight tailgate. Not much serious body rust/rot to speak of. Rocker panels, floorpans, & cab corners look rock solid pictured. Exterior body surface looks to have been completely prepped/painted which will save you the high bidder/buyer alot of time & money. Unit both runs & shifts good when gas is poured directly into the carburetor. All I have done was to use some compressed air to blow off the dust & dirt to show the exact condition of this classic truck just the way I got it. This way you know what to expect. No hype here. Front bumper not pictured is included with the sale. Please note: You will need to replace fuel lines, check brake pressure, replace wood bed, replace some glass & little of this & alot of that to complete this 55 year old project truck to your specifications. These 50's fleetside Chevy trucks are red hot right now & this one is ready for your imagination. If I missed something on the auction let me know & I'll try to answer to the best of my ability. Truck has been relisted because of a non paying bidder last week. ASK QUESTIONS before you bid & DO NOT BID if you can not pay as ebay auctions are both $$$$ expensive & time consuming. Truck is located in Lone Pine, California 93545 for your shipper information. Full payment is due within 7 days of the auction end. Sold As Is Where Is as pictured. I can help load. I can trailer locally within California/Nevada for an additional fee. $500.00 deposit is due within 24 hours & full payment due within one week of purchase. Call/text Mike for a chit chat @ seven six zero two six four three nine eight eight. I love talking about classic trucks. Thanks for looking!

Buyer is responsible for pick up "please excuse the pun" or shipping costs. This vintage truck is being sold AS-IS WHERE IS. Please email/call/text me with any IMPORTANT questions BEFORE you bid.

2016 Chevy Volt will have more EV range, bigger battery

Tue, Oct 28 2014

Meet the new Volt, not the same as the old Volt. That appears to be the story when General Motors introduces the 2016 Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Today we're getting some more details on the guts of the new plug-in hybrid, and it turns out they're going to be much improved from the current Volt, which first went on sale at the end of 2010. Sure, the first-gen Volt did get some improvements along the way (a slightly larger battery pack, lane departure warnings) but the new Volt – which will go on sale in the second half of 2015 – marks the first time GM has been able to return to the drawing board and really make the improvements that its customers want. That's how Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification explained it to AutoblogGreen today when explaining the all-new Voltec extended range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain. "In the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability." – Larry Nitz Nitz said that the new Volt will be better in almost every sense: a bigger battery, longer EV-only range, 20 percent better acceleration in the low speed range and higher overall efficiency. This is due, in part, to the Volt's two motors being able to both act as generators and power the car. As we noted this morning, the 2016 Volt will use a larger, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a version of which is already used in the Chinese-market Cruze. Nitz said that this has a number of benefits, including more power and quieter operation. "Some people would say, why did you make [the first-gen engine] so big. I would say, why did you make it so small?" he said. "It works good, our customers love it, but the reality is that if you go a little bit off and use the car a little harder, you can get the engine to need to operate at a higher speed. In an EV, that's quite noticeable. So, what we did in the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability and what it has marginally enabled is not only is it more efficient but it's also quieter." Nitz wouldn't talk about how the new powertrain might affect the two other products that use the Volt's underpinnings – the Cadillac ELR and the Opel Ampera – but if you've got a quieter option, we assume that's something ELR drivers would enjoy. But that's a story for another day.

Burt Reynolds' movie re-creations fetch $379,500 in Vegas

Wed, Oct 3 2018

The recent death of Hollywood legend and automotive enthusiast Burt Reynolds helped drive up the value of four of his former cars from the 1970s and '80s, which sold last weekend at Barrett-Jackson's Las Vegas auction for a combined $379,500. Reynolds, who died Sept. 6 at age 82, had offered three Pontiac Trans Ams — two of them re-creations of the cars he drove in "Smokey and the Bandit" and "Hooper" and the third from 1984 used to promote his United States Football League team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth was a 1978 Chevrolet R30 pickup truck, styled like the one featured in "Cannonball Run." The "Bandit" re-creation, a 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am that Reynolds ordered to be as "movie-correct" as possible but featuring a custom-built 200-4R automatic transmission, sold for $192,500. The car features a freshly built Pontiac 400 cubic-inch V8 mated to a four-speed automatic and featuring all-new Butler Performance parts and air-conditioning components. Reynolds reportedly said this was his favorite car from his films, and it even came with an authentic movie-correct CB radio and CB antenna. The red retro-rocket "Hooper" '78 Firebird, with a 403 cubic-inch V8 and a three-speed automatic, hammered for $88,000. By comparison, a gold 1978 Trans Am also offered at the Las Vegas auction but not connected to Reynolds fetched $27,500. The 1987 Chevy R30 pickup was a re-creation of the Indy Hauler pace truck seen jumping over a moving freight train in "Cannonball Run." It hammered for $49,500. The fourth car never appeared in any of Reynolds' films but is instead the only surviving example of two Trans Ams used to promote the Tampa Bay Bandits of the now-defunct USFL, having been driven out onto the field by Reynolds and his late friend and co-star, Jerry Reed, during opening day one season. It also sold for $49,500. At the Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction in 2016, Reynolds accompanied a 1977 Trans Am used to promote "Bandit" onto the auction block. That car sold for $550,000.

24 Hours of Le Mans live update part two

Sun, Jun 19 2016

We tasked surfing journalist Rory Parker to watch this year's live stream of the 2016 24 Hours of Le Mans. What follows is an experiment to experience the world's greatest endurance race from the perspective of a motorsports novice. Parker lives in Hawaii and can hold his breath longer than he can go without swearing. For Part One, click here. Or you can skip ahead to Part Three here. I write about surfing for a living. If you can call it a living. Basically means I spend my days fucking around and my wife pays for everything. Because she's got a real job that pays well. Brings home the bacon. Very progressive arrangement. Super twenty first century. I run a surf website, beachgrit.com, with two other guys. It's a strange gig. More or less uncensored. Kind of popular. Very good at alienating advertisers. My behavior has cost us a few bucks. I'm terrible at self-censorship. Know there's a line out there, no idea where it lies. I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. For contests I do long rambling write ups. They rarely make much sense. Mainly just talk about my life, whatever random thoughts pop into my head. "Can you do something similar for Le Mans?" "Sure, but I know absolutely fuck-all about racing." "That's okay. Just write what you want." "Will do. But you're gonna need to edit my stuff. Probably censor it heavily." So here I am. I spent the last week trying to learn all I can about the sport of endurance racing. But there's only so much you can jam in your head. And I still don't understand any of the technical side. Might as well be astrophysics or something. While I rambled things were happening. Tracy Krohn spun into the gravel on the Forza chicane. #89 is out of the race after an accident I missed. Pegasus racing hit the wall on the Porsche curves. Bashed up front end, in the garage getting fixed. Toyota and Porsche are swapping back and forth in the front three. Ford back in the lead in GTE Pro. #91 Porsche took a stone through the radiator, down two laps. Not good. The wife and I are one of those weird childless couples that spend way too much time caring for the needs of their pet. French bulldog, Mr Eugene Victor Debs. Great little guy. Spent the last four years training him to be obedient and friendly. Nice thing about dogs, when you're sick of dealing with them you can just lock 'em in another room for a few hours. You don't need to worry about paying for college.
