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.

'84 MotorWeek Cherokee, Bronco and Blazer comparison indulges your SUV nostalgia

Fri, Jan 16 2015

These days, truck-based, full-frame SUVs are somewhat of a rarity on the auto landscape due to the rapid rise in popularity of easier-driving, car-based crossovers. Although, without the gradually building popularity of these chunky, high-riding vehicles decades ago, it's unlikely that America's roads would be filled with so many CUVs today. In its latest dig into the archives, MotorWeek has found a 1984 comparison test of a trio of these early Sport Utility Wagons, as long-time host John Davis called them, that helped get acceptance of this segment going. This is a red, white and blue test of the SUVs from American automakers at the time and pits the Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco and Jeep Cherokee (specifically in Wagoneer guise) against each other. Driving manners and interior usability are considered in the evaluation, but Motorweek actually takes these vehicles off road, too. Among the bigger revelations is the improvement in on-road ability in the past 30 years. While specific 0-60 times aren't given, all three models take around 10 seconds just to get to around 50 miles per hour in the 500-feet on-ramp acceleration test. Check out this clip to see just how far this segment has progressed in the past three decades or just get a blast of nostalgia from these now vintage models.

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly

Fri, Sep 2 2016

Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:

Steve McQueen's last movie car, now Pawn Stars-owned, up for auction [w/video]

Sun, 03 Feb 2013

The last car Steve McQueen ever drove in a movie is officially up for auction. The 1951 Chevrolet Styline DeLuxe Convertible you see above is now owned by none other than Rick Harrison of Pawn Stars fame, but once ferried McQueen around the set of his last film, 1980's The Hunter. That flick saw the Bullit star play a bumbling bounty hunter and didn't exactly set the box office on fire. McQueen bought the car after production wrapped, and four years later it sold at his estate sale at the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas.
Flash forward to 2003, and the convertible received a full restoration back to near-stock specifications. Hagerty Insurance estimates the car to be worth around $45,000 without the significant providence. Given its ties to one of film's most popular gearheads, the old Chevrolet could fetch up to 10 times that when it goes under the gavel in Ft Luaderdale, Florida on March 22. You can head over to the Auctions America site for more information. You can also check out the trailer for The Hunter below.
