Up for auction is a 1959 Apache 3100 1/2 ton pick up. This truck is not a trailer queen (show truck) I didnt build it to be a show truck, but a truck that I can drive everyday. But it would not take much to turn this truck into a show truck. This truck had a frame off restoration. The frame was cleaned and coated with P.O.R.15 chassis paint and top coated with semi gloss black. The cab was sand blasted and the floor was also coated with P.O.R.15 inside the cab and under the cab. The cab corners were replaced and the cab was mounted to the frame with new hardware. The fenders where also blasted and epoxied primed before the paint was applied. The bed has custom made cyprus wood boards installed with stainless steel bed rails and hardware. The bed chains are new and are stainless steel The hood has new hinges and springs The paint on the truck is a a single stage Firethorn red metallic flake. The paint is not perfect but still looks nice. All the glass in the truck is good, but there is a spot on the corner of the windshield where a piece of gravel came up and popped it.  The spot can be fixed but I haven't carried it to the glass shop yet. The front grille, headlight bezels, mirrors and bumpers are chrome and are brand new. The tail light housings are stainless steel and are new also along with thier brackets. The wiring harness is a new easy wire 22 circuit harness that i installed. everything works in the truck headlights, tail lights, blinkers, hazards, horn, etc. the windshield wipers have been converted into electric and are 2 speed wipers. The Good Year tires are brand new on the truck. The truck has a newly rebuilt 327 in it with a new Holley 650 carb with electric choke. I put a Contender intake on the engine and a mild street and strip cam in it. The transmission is a 700r4 automatic with overdrive and with a console shifter. The radiator is a new 3 row aluminum radiator with a custom built fan shroud.  I put a serpentine belt system on the engine. Inside the cab you have tilt steering with a Grant custom 15" steering wheel and a set of black leather seats. The driver seat is power the passenger seat is not. The instrument panel is a custom insert to hold the gauges, And the console was custom built for the truck. The gauges are all Autometer guages and all work great. The sunvisors and rear view mirror are new as is the glove box. The door handles and window handles are original to the truck. The headliner has been replaced and new carpet with jute padding installed

The front of the original chasis has grafted onto it a front clip from a 78 Camaro. All the parts are new including the disc brakes and brake lines. The rear end is a posi traction and came off a 1979 Trans Am and the drum  brakes and lines are new on it also. The gas tank was moved to the rear of the truck frame and is a new 16 gallon tank all fuel lines are new.

The truck has dual Flow master exhaust that come out under the bed steps

There is no heat or A/C in this truck, although the heater connections are there. and there is a working a/C compressor on the engine

The truck has power steering and power brakes

This is a great running truck with the rare 327 engine. A nice truck at a fair price that you can jump into and drive any where.

Buyer is responsible for shipping of the truck

I can keep the truck stored here for a while until your shipper picks the truck up or you come and get it.

In Alabama a vehicle older then 1976 is not required to have a title. I will give the buyer a notorized affadavit from the state of Alabama staating that a title is not required on vehicles older the 1976, And a signed registrsation, and notorized bill of sale. I have sold trucks to england and florida and the folks never had a problem. But check with your D.M.V. to be sure on what documents are required

the truck is being sold "As Is" with no warranty expressed or implied

I will post more pictures and a video of the truck running and driving shortly. This is a great deal on a very nice truck

Bob Lutz builds the case for a mid-engined Corvette

Fri, Jan 16 2015

Rumors of a mid-engine Corvette are like automotive industry folklore at this point. Every once in a while, news pops up that it might be happening or is under development, but nothing actually ever comes to fruition as something people can actually buy. The latest spy shots strongly suggest a mid-engine 'Vette is in the cards, yet again, possibly for 2018. Now, an op ed by former General Motors executive (and definite performance car fan) Bob Lutz in Road & Track gives the inside scoop on the history of one of these proposals and lays out how to make it happen today. According to Lutz, the company's engineers believed the C6 ZR1 was at the limit for front-engine, rear-wheel drive performance in that package, and the only solution was to move the powerplant behind the driver. Lutz even got then CEO Rick Wagoner on board. The scheme made it at least as far as clay models for mid-engine versions of the 'Vette and Cadillac XLR. Eventually, a lack of money got in the way, though, bringing the project to an end. Lutz puts a lot of faith in GM's current leaders, especially Mary Barra and Mark Reuss. He thinks the chances of a mid-engine 'Vette happening this time are better than 50 percent. The model, rumored to be named Zora, could offer over 700 horsepower in an ultra lightweight body and be priced at about $120,000 to "suck the doors off everybody." Head over to Road & Track to get some insights from this highly respected and entertaining auto industry veteran. Related Video:

Was the C7 Corvette cut from Beyonce's Super Bowl halftime show?

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Someone was bound to receive a free 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray during the Super Bowl XLVII festivities; it just wasn't who we thought it was going to be. Despite a report back in December that superstar Beyoncé Knowles would be getting an all-new Corvette during her halftime performance, that turned out not to be the case. Joe Flacco, starting quarterback for the Baltimore Ravens, did in fact win a Corvette for his MVP performance.
So what transpired that prevented Beyoncé from rolling on stage in the new Chevrolet? Anyone who knows isn't telling, but according to Yahoo! Autos, General Motors said that for one reason or another a deal "did not work out," and it appears to have been an eleventh-hour change. Regardless of who's to blame or what prevented this from happening, we're sure Chevy has had no problems getting attention for the C7 Corvette since it was introduced last month.

Compact SUV Comparison: Specs, pics and reviews of every brand's crossover

Wed, Jul 25 2018

Honda CR-V vs Toyota RAV4. Chevy Equinox vs Ford Escape. Mazda CX-5 vs Subaru Forester. Whichever combinations of compact crossover SUV you're considering, there's probably a comparison test or chart out there to read. Heck, you can even create a three-car comparison yourself here at Autoblog. However, if you want a bunch of that information all in one convenient place, well, here it is. Our mega comparison of specs, features and photos of compact SUV entries from every mainstream manufacturer that sells them. That includes the 2018 Chevrolet Equinox, 2018 Ford Escape, 2018 GMC Terrain, 2018 Honda CR-V, 2018 Hyundai Tucson, 2019 Jeep Cherokee (it's already on sale with notable changes from 2018), 2018 Jeep Compass, 2018 Kia Sportage, 2018 Mazda CX-5, 2018 Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross (none of Mitsu's SUVs are perfect fits for this segment, so we deemed the MEC the most competitive fit), 2018 Nissan Rogue, 2018 Subaru Forester, 2018 Toyota RAV4 and 2018 Volkswagen Tiguan. We can update this comparison as more information about 2019 models is released, most notably the Forester and RAV4. Now, there are certainly some models that are smaller (Nissan Rogue Sport) or larger (Kia Sorento) that could also be considered, but we figured it was wise to stick with those in this sweet spot of comparable size and price. We also included links to Autoblog reviews, buying guides and smaller comparisons. Engines and Transmissions With rare exception, this segment features four-cylinder power. Sometimes it's turbocharged, often its not, but standard engine outputs are generally in the same ballpark. Therefore, we'd recommend focusing on torque output, as it's what will make a difference around town or when passing, and weighing that versus fuel economy (the Chevy Equinox, GMC Terrain, Honda CR-V and Mazda CX-5 make particularly strong cases in this regard). Many drivers aren't too fond of continuously variable transmissions (CVT), either, so that's another thing to consider and note during a test drive. As you can see, several models are available with performance upgrades. Besides the Jeep Cherokee's available V6, all are more powerful turbocharged four-cylinder engines. The exception to this would be the Honda CR-V and Ford Escape, as their 1.5-liter turbo engines don't prioritize performance. Instead, they serve as overall upgrades to the base naturally aspirated engines standard on only their base trim levels (CR-V LX and Escape S).
