1960 Chevrolet Apache 10 Custom Deluxe Short Wide V8 Oklahoma on 2040-cars
Vinita, Oklahoma, United States
|
Here is an extremely rare 1960 Chevrolet Apache 1/2 ton short wide from Oklahoma. It needs a few things to be finished up. It is not even close to being perfect, just a good looking truck, the paint has chips and a couple of bubbles on the front lower corners of the doors, even has bug guts from a little night driving. It has every piece of trim unique to the 1960 that was available that year even the trim under the back glass that was only offered on the 1960, there may be very few in early 1961 but I have not seen one. All trim is stainless, including grille, not aluminum. I've seen the side cab sails and this long connector piece on Ebay for $1500, not sure if it ever sold but that's how hard these are to find, very few of these trucks and/or parts left. I paid $1,000 to complete the stainless side trim set just because I wanted every piece that belonged on the truck and it's now all there, and more. The door glasses and wing windows (original) even have the original chrome around them and roll up and down perfectly with all new felts and rubbers. It has a custom console with stainless cup holders and a Sony Explode stereo system with 2- 6" speakers and 2-6X9's on the kick panels. The truck has a 1989 Chevrolet truck 350 , serpentine belt, polished aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock 650 carb and 700r4 transmission with a 1979 Pontiac Trans-Am, disc brake, 10 bolt posi-trac with 273 gears (cruises at high speeds with ease) I have the lock up converter on a toggle switch which drops the rpm another 400 rpm in high gear. This model 700r4 had a digital speedometer so I installed the mechanical gears to run the original speedometer, the cable is good, the speedometer worked for a short time but does not work now. New tires and American Racing wheels. Rear wheels were special order 5" inside back space to get the 295/50/15's to clear with no problems. The wheel tubs were widened 3" also. 4 wheel power disc brakes with all new calipers, the rear has drilled and slotted rotors. New 2 1/2" dual exhaust all the way to the rear with Flowmaster Super 44's, sounds awesome. This was the last exhaust system that Billy Jack of Chouteau Oklahoma installed, he installed thousands of exhaust systems over a 30 year period, he always done quality work, he was very good at what he did and done a super job on this truck too. Blue dot Tri-bar headlights and blue dot lens on the rear. Power rack and pinion steering with tilt, chrome steering column and walnut/chrome steering wheel. Stainless steel bed strips and bolts with black walnut from Johnsons' saw mill in Spavinaw Oklahoma. New stainless steel tail gate chains and latches. New aluminum radiator. New chrome door sill plates. New front and rear bumpers. New stainless steel windshield wiper arms. Again, the truck is not a show truck. If you want something that needs very little work and is very rare, this is it. If you are looking for a show truck, please look at other trucks. Here are the things that needs to be done. 1. Needs the back glass which is cracked right now. I tried to install it by myself so it has a new gasket, I just broke the glass. 2. Needs carpet, arm rests and seat upholstered. The seat frame is in good shape to be recovered, it is the original 1960 seat that came in this truck. 3. Needs the windshield installed, it is a brand new windshield and looks like it is in but it is not. I drive it like it is with no problems but I don't drive it in the rain either. I can't find anyone around here that will install it, everyone says the wide stainless trim in the rubber and the curved glass makes it one of the hardest windshields there are to install. With the help of a friend we got it close, but not in, I was afraid of breaking it. I'm not a glass installer (see line 1) 4. Needs speedometer, cable and gears in transmission are good. I'm sure I have missed some things, feel free to ask anything. The buyer will be responsible for any/all shipping costs. I live about 3 miles from a major intersection ( 69 and 44 ) truck stop so loading is not a problem. Make me an offer. The most I can do is say no. Thanks for looking |

Amelia Island 2013: Chevrolet Corvette Sting Ray from concepts to split windows
Wed, 13 Mar 2013While this year marks 60 years of the Chevrolet Corvette, the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance focused on one of the coupe's most sought after models, the 1963 Sting Ray. General Motors design boss Ed Welburn was on hand to show off the all-new C7 Corvette, but even the hard-edged styling of the 2014 Stingray couldn't take away from the beautiful 1963 models sitting out on the field.
In addition to the original Sting Ray and the 1959 Sting Ray Concept, some of the other classic 'Vettes included "Big Tank" racecars, an interesting cutaway coupe, a right-hand-drive Z06 and the attention-grabbing 1963 Corvette Rondine by Pininfarina. Another impressive Corvette was the 1964 Corvette XP-819 rear-engine prototype. Owner Mike Yager had the car finished as a driving chassis for this year's show, but promises the car will be back to its original glory in time for next year's event.
Valet mode captures joyride in red Corvette
Thu, Dec 18 2014A man in California is among the first to catch a valet behaving badly in his 2015 Corvette using a controversial built-in recording feature. Dan Cowles told KTLA 5 when he bought his dream car, a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, he opted for the Performance Data Recorder. The Corvette PDR uses a high-definition camera mounted in the windshield header, a microphone in the cabin and a GPS receiver that record and track the sports car's movements and sounds. They work together to produce a video with telemetry overlay, so you can see acceleration rates, lap times and g-forces. The system can be customized to show extensive performance data, or simply video of your drive like a traditional dash cam. It also comes with Valet Mode, which locks the glove box, disables entertainment and records video. The audio recording feature ran afoul of several state's recording consent laws, but this video has no audio, indicating the fix may have been as easy as turning off the microphone. Cowles dropped off his hot red 'Vette with the valets at the Segerstrom Center for the Performing Arts in Costa Mesa, CA. When he got his car back he checked the PDR and discovered footage of the valet taking a short, but intense, joyride in the garage. In the video, the valet finds a straightaway in a tiered parking garage and pushes the car to 50 miles per hour in five seconds before quickly stopping. He then parks the car without incident. The valet then gets out of the car and takes one more admiring look at the front. The valet company has yet to commented on the video, according to Fox News, but valets everywhere should be on notice; that little red Corvette you have your eye on may have its eyes on you.

Recharge Wrap-up: Batty battery covers, Mercedes at Silvretta, new Hyundai Sonata Hybrid available in 2015
Tue, Jul 8 2014Apparently, Chevrolet Volt battery covers make suitable homes for bats. As part of an Eagle Scout project, Matthew Netherland created 30 bat houses out of scrapped Volt battery covers donated by Chevy. 22 of the bat houses will be set up near hydroelectric dams in Michigan. Each bat house will accommodate 100 bats, and divert the scrapped materials from the landfill. The battery covers also make great nesting boxes for wood ducks, which General Motors has previously set up at its Milford, Michigan Proving Ground. Last weekend was the Silvretta E-Auto Rally, which saw emissions-free vehicles cross the Montafon Mountains in Austria, including cars from Mercedes-Benz. These cars included the B-Class Electric Drive, B-Class F-Cell, SLS AMG Electric Drive and even the Smart Fortwo Electric Drive. Also on hand for the Silvretta Classic Rally was a V8-powered C111, a 1978 Mercedes-Benz 450 SLC and 300 SL Roadster. Read more in the press release, below. BMW has finalized pricing for the i8 in the US at $135,700 (plus $925 in destination charges). In addition to the base price tag, which we've known for a while, BMW Blog has the complete pricing guide with options and packages. Most of the i8 orders were the Pure Impulse World package, which includes various aesthetic upgrades. It also provides membership to the BMW i Pure Impulse Program, which allows you to "to enjoy innovative ideas and trends in a variety of areas, including home styling, culture, gourmet gastronomy, design and many more." Head over to BMW Blog for more information. The new generation of the Hyundai Sonata Hybrid will arrive later than the rest of the model lineup, confirms Car and Driver. While the gas-powered Sonatas get updated now for the 2015 model year, the Hybrid remains unchanged until late this year or early 2015, when it will arrive as a 2016 model. Hyundai is offering a 2015 Sonata Eco edition, but with 28 miles per gallon in the city and 38 mpg highway (32 combined), it's not quite as appealing as the current Sonata Hybrid's 36/40/38 figures. Read more here. In June, average US fuel economy was 25.5 miles per gallon, making it the fifth straight month above 25 mpg, according to University of Michigan. The average window sticker ratings from vehicles sold in June dropped slightly from 25.6 mpg in May. The year started at 24.9 mpg in January, and hasn't dropped below 25 mpg since.
