So this is our 1959 Chevy Apache Pickup. For those of you with background and knowledge, you will immediately notice that the front fenders/headlights are off a 1957 Chevy. Why? I have no idea. But this is in fact a titled and VIN matched 1959. I suspect that at some time in the past, a previous owner that did the paint job probably liked the look of the 57 better and changed them. There's no indications on the rest of the truck that it would have been the result of either excessive rust, nor do I believe that someone piled up the truck on just the 2 front quarters.

Anyway, about the truck:

We picked this beauty up a while ago to use as part of a photography business. We have now decided we are done with it and ready to move on.

No secrets. The truck is way better than most unrestored of this vintage. Someone painted it gold in the past. The paint is pretty decent still. But nothing spectacular. The box wood was replaced as well. And that IS very nice. Tailgate opens and closes. Doors open and close tight. Truck starts right up....every single time. It doesn't smoke, choke, or sputter. It runs nicely.....really does. Shifts easily thru all 4 forward gears, as well as reverse. The stereo works, and actually the speakers are decent. The seat is something out of a late model rig. Its comfortable enough, but in my opinion looks dumb. All the gauges seem to work, but for the odometer/speedometer....it doesn't roll. The steering wheel is all wood....actually is pretty darn nice. Carpets good, floors solid etc. It for sure was someone's amatuer start on a restoration. Certainly some of it was done well.

You can honestly drive it right now, every day, without concern.

Tires are marginal, it steers and wanders like you would expect. Brakes are good. Headlights are good, but only one blinker and one taillight. So a little wiring.

But truly everyone, this is a nice little truck. It's not rusty, crusty or dusty. Way better than a lot of trucks I see on here.

If I can answer any questions let me know. Thanks for looking and good luck.

Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]

Mon, 27 May 2013

If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.

First 2014 Chevy Corvette Stingray spotted crashed in the wild

Tue, 12 Feb 2013

This restyled blue 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is wearing manufacturer plates, and it appears to be the same one seen around the internet in various pictures lately. This crash is likely not part of the Chevrolet testing regimen, however. Digital Corvettes forum member gpetry posted the shot with a note: "got this picture e-mailed from a friend in Arizona last week..." No circumstances are given, other than the incident occurred in the thick of a set of curvy roads, and the coupe ping-ponged off a guardrail and into the rock wall. Hopefully everyone involved in the incident walked away.
It may not be a pretty thing to see, a crashed sports car that's not even available for sale yet, but rest easy. Many pre-production cars are used for development and then unceremoniously crushed and scrapped, anyway. If that's the case here, that makes this wrecked 'Vette less of a tragedy and more of a case of exceptional efficiency.

New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday

Tue, 11 Dec 2012

There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
