1958 CHEVY TRUCK - 3/4 TON LONGBED APACHE

FACTORY TASK FORCE TRUCK WITH BUILT TAPPET HEAD 350 EDELBROCK PERFORMER PACKAGE AND PLENTY OF TORQUE

MILD HEADERS & REVERSED GLASS PACKS WITH A REAL SWEET RASPY BUT NOT TOO LOUD TONE

700R4 TRANSMISSION WITH MILD SHIFT KIT ATTACHED TO A FORD 9" REAR END

8 FOOT LONGBED WITH REAR NOTCHED FRAME AND AIR BAGGED FOR THAT PERFECT STANCE

TRUE BORN & RAISED CALIFORNIA TRUCK WITH VINTAGE BLACK ON YELLOW PLATES

Looking for a clean, dependable American classic with loads of character? This is the the big window cab with the long bed, an 8 footer which makes for a more proportionate cab to bed setup than the average short bed. She has a small block tappet head 350 rebuilt about 15k miles ago with the Edelbrock performer kit, a high torque cam with a compression of 9.5:1 a new Lokar shifter attached to a 700R4 with a Ford 9 inch rear-end. Stewart Warner green line gauges. A fresh set of Good Year bias-ply's, the real sweet ones with diamonds on the sidewalls, and a clean freshly painted bone colored set of steel wheels make this thing pop.

Rear frame is notched and on air bags, which really gives her the perfect stance and reversed glass packs give her the perfect exhaust note. The all original front end with drum brakes coupled with the bias-ply's give this truck that fantastic road feel that really makes driving her a lot of fun. I've never even considered making a change to this setup because its part of what really makes this truck so rewarding to drive in my opinion, being able to feel the road. I had some roller bearings custom made a few years back as the old ball bearings couldn't handle the 75 mph runs that this trucks drivetrain likes to run at. Heaps of power and that's makes up a big part of her personality.

Paint is a semi-gloss / matte blue PPG paint job done five years ago. Overall in good shape with a few battle scratches and nicks and a few small rust areas, one of the lower cab corners is popping, normal for these series of trucks but still in good shape. Chrome is original with some pitting, the front grill as you can see in pics has some flaked off with topical rust but I personally like it just how it is, character. The bed is a wormy maple that I picked up a couple years back from a guy out of Kentucky and its laid down with new stainless strips.

This truck is plain badass. I think I've put enough photos up to tell the story, but let me know if you want to email you anymore or if you'd like me to send you a video. *re-listing due to non-performing "somebody stole my cell phone" young buck*

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial

Sat, 16 Mar 2013

The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
