1961 Chevrolet Apache 1/2 Ton Pickup - 2 Owners Same Family Runs And Looks Great on 2040-cars
Vancouver, Washington, United States
|
For sale is a 1961 1/2 ton Apache long bed pickup with canopy. Under 49000 miles on the truck. I know for a fact it is not 149000. My grandfather drove it back and forth to work at the railroad years ago and that was about it. This truck runs and looks great. Mostly rust free. Always stored inside. This was my grandfathers pickup. He bought it new and owned it up to his passing in 2003. My father titled the truck in his name but never drove it. Just stored it. Little bit of surface rust on the truck but definitely nothing major whatsoever. The truck was originally green from the factory, and for some reason my grandfather wanted it baby blue. Paint is oxidized but holding together well. Interior is a grey. Of course besides the seat everything is metal. Couple tears on the drivers seat. 3 speed manual on the column. Inline 6. Not much power but will get the truck down the road. Surely needs to be tuned up and carb may need some attention, looks to be leaking a little bit at the base gasket. Fires up and runs great as is. Completely stock. Body is extremely straight, and so is the bed. Maybe a couple little dings in the wheel wells but really minor. Even the wood in the bed is in good shape. Bias ply tires on the truck from many many years ago. Underneath the frame is pretty clean just typical light surface rust. There is no salt used on the roads here in the winter, hast been for 50 years. Remember this truck is over 50 years old, stored for many years, unmolested, just an old survivor. So if you want one thats perfect please look elsewhere. We are only selling it because we just dont have space for it anymore and it really needs to go to someone that will use it. If you have any questions feel free to email me.

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.
NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall
Wed, 13 Mar 2013
The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.
Safety group pans GM’s new Marketplace in-dash shopping
Wed, Dec 6 2017When it comes to our cars, is the Internet of Things a godsend? Or a hidden menace that will create more problems than it will solve? On the same day General Motors announced it will equip newer-model cars with its in-dash Marketplace e-commerce app, a prominent safety group was shooting it down. National Safety Council President Deborah Hersman tells Bloomberg the technology will only contribute to distracted driving and hurt efforts to stem the tide of rising auto fatalities, which grew 5.6 percent to more than 37,000 in the U.S. in 2016. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says distracted driving was responsible for 3,477 fatalities and 391,000 injuries in 2015, the most recent year for which it has data. "There's nothing about this that's safe," Hersman told Bloomberg. "If this is why they want WiFi in the car, we're going to see fatality numbers go up even higher than they are now." Marketplace, developed with IBM, will allow drivers — or more often, one hopes, their passengers — to order coffee or food, find gas stations and reserve hotel rooms from their dashboard screens. The technology is set to be uploaded automatically to nearly 1.9 million GM vehicles model-year 2017 and later that are equipped with WiFi hotspots and compatible systems. By the end of 2018, about 4 million Chevrolet, Buick, GMC and Cadillac vehicles will be equipped with Marketplace. The app will debut with a limited number of participating retailers, including TGI Fridays, Shell, Exxon Mobil and Starbucks, with more likely to join later. Online retail giant Amazon is also partnering with automakers such as Ford to bring e-commerce capabilities inside the car through its Alexa personal assistant. While convenience is nice, one other thing is becoming clear as the IoT wedges its way into our cars: It's taking aim at some decidedly first-world problems.Related Video: Image Credit: GM Buick Cadillac Chevrolet GM GMC Technology Infotainment in-car entertainment marketplace e-commerce
