Beautiful 1959 Chevy Apache 3100 Fleetside currently located in Austin Texas, Fitted with a Camaro front end clip w/ front disc brakes. 350 Chevy w/ 4 bbl carb, headers, and custom exhaust. Runs and sounds great and starts first time even when I left it standing once for two weeks. New battery, new MSD ignition system – wires & plugs, timing and tune-up in 2013. Automatic transmission with shift on the column. New tires and rims in 2013. Solid body with nice paint.

 

The 3100 Fleetside is the more collectible and rarer model, the tip of the spear if you will. This is a real head-turner of a vehicle and runs sweetly. I am selling to fund the restoration of another vehicle otherwise a very reluctant sale.

 

Prior to sale I will fit brand new bed planks a well as new chrome bumpers front and rear, new chrome grille and new chrome headlight covers. This is happening very soon and will all be included in the sale price. Call or e-mail for the full and surprising story on this truck. Best contacts are Duncan on my cell phone 0044 7066 184613 while I am out of Texas or my works colleague Mary on 1-713 932 1324. Find out why this is such a special truck!

Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works

Fri, 22 Mar 2013

When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own

Tue, 22 Jan 2013

It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.

GM to trim Russian output, raise prices amid currency woes

Thu, Feb 5 2015

General Motors is shutting down its factory in Russia's second largest city, St. Petersburg, from the middle of March until the middle of May as the country's currency, the ruble, continues to give economists fits. The ruble's value has plunged due not only to western sanctions, but a precipitous fall in oil prices. We knew these factors were already impacting the auto industry there, as Ford reported in its 2014 earnings statement, and now they're forcing GM to cut production at the factory, shown above, that is responsible for production of the Chevrolet Cruze and Opel Astra. Meanwhile, Automotive News is citing Russian outlet Kommersant as saying that GM has hiked its prices in the country by an average of 20 percent over the past two months. While a GM spokesman confirmed the St. Petersburg plant would be shut down for the two-month span reported by Kommersant and AN, he would not confirm the price increase.
