1957 Chevrolet Apache

Resto-Mod Pickup

This is a awesome looking and sounding 1957 Chevrolet Apache.  Almost everything has been re-done on this truck.  It is powered by a Chevy 350 cu.in. V-8 with a 350 turbo automatic transmission.  The engine is very strong and the transmission shifts very smooth.  The engine has a large Cam.  This coupled with short pipes and small glass pack mufflers give the truck a really good thump.  Everyone will know you are coming before you get there.  The engine compartment is very clean.  Lots of chrome to dress the engine.  The battery and the power brake booster are mounted on the frame under the cab to allow for a smooth firewall. 

The front end boasts a Fat Man Mustang II suspension.  This is coupled with a Nova rear end.  The power brakes are disc on the front and drum on the rear. 

The gas tank has been moved to under the bed.  This eliminates the gas smell in the cab and gives you storage/speaker room behind the front seat.

The door handles have been shaved and electric door poppers installed.  A rolled pan has been added to the rear.  The hood and front fender emblems have been removed to give the whole truck a clean, smooth look.  All of the chrome is in great shape.  There is just enough to add the right finishing touch to the truck.  This includes the front bumper, grill, wipers, side view mirror and headlight bezels.  The grill is actually a 55. 

While not perfect, the bright red paint job is very, very nice.  The truck was never wet sanded after painting and there is a orange peel effect to the paint.  A spray in bed liner really adds to the appearance and usefulness of this truck.  

The interior has been completely re-done including the door panels, kick panels with speakers, seat, headliner and carpet.  The truck is equipped with lap seatbelts.  New chrome door handles and window cranks have been installed.  The instruments are in a digital dash cluster.  A Lokar shifter has been added.  The heater and defrost controls are in the glove box.  Both work well.  A detatchable face CD player is mounted in the dash.  A tilt column makes the cab more driver friendly.  

All glass and rubber have been replaced.  The side windows were replaced with one piece glass to eliminate wind noise from vent windows.  The side windows and rear glass are tinted.  The electric wipers work well.

The wheels are chrome Cragars and have 160 80 r15 tires in the front and 255 50 r15 in the rear.  While the truck does not have power steering, the small front tires make turning easy.

I have described this truck to the best of my ability.  I am sure I may have overlooked something.  I encourage you to inspect the truck before bidding.  I am happy to make the truck available during the auction to you or your inspection representative.  This is not a trailer queen.  It is a very nice quality driver.  The mileage is not actual.  It was reset to zero when the digital gauge cluster was added.  The mileage is subject to change as I continue to drive the truck.  

I reserve the right to end the auction early as the truck is for sale locally.

I do not offer shipping.  However, I will be happy to work with the winning bidder's shipper in getting the truck to you.  All shipping costs will be paid by the buyer.

Thank you for your interest and Happy Bidding!

Mustang retakes monthly pony car sales crown from Camaro

Wed, Dec 3 2014

Going back to their origins in the Swinging '60s, the Ford Mustang and Chevrolet Camaro have been fierce rivals for fans' hearts and dollars. Historically, the Ford often led in volume, but Chevy took the muscle car top spot in 2009 upon the Camaro's rebirth. However, with the launch of the latest Blue Oval pony car, the tide is turning back in Ford's favor. November was the first full month of sales for the new 2015 Mustang, and according to TheDetroitBureau.com, the model did spectacularly well. The Blue Oval shifted 8,728 of them, up 62 percent from same month last year, with the automaker proclaiming it the model's best November sales since 2006. Conversely, 4,385 units of the Camaro were delivered, down 13.5 percent year-over-year, meaning its sales were roughly half that of the new-generation Mustang. Ford is understandably happy with the results, and product development director Raj Nair even hinted to TDB that another version of the Mustang might be unveiled at January's North American International Auto Show. Rumor has it that the model will be the even more potent Shelby Mustang GT350R. Despite the Mustang's November success, the Camaro outsells it year to day. So far in 2014, Ford has sold 73,124 Mustangs versus 79,669 examples of the Camaro. With December offering the last chance for an overtake, the Bowtie may yet remain king for this year's sales crown. A new Camaro is peeking over the horizon, as well. It's reportedly moving to the Alpha platform used by the Cadillac ATS, and production could start in late 2015. Prototypes are already testing at the Nurburgring, and camouflaged examples have been spotted weirdly being compared to its '80s forefather.

The U-2 spy plane needs high-performance cars to help land

Thu, Oct 15 2015

Typically, aircraft deploy their landing gear from three main points. Most military aircraft, for example, deploy two gears at the back and one forward, like a tricycle. Some civilian aircraft flip the layout, with two in front and one in back - tail-draggers. The U-2 Dragon Lady is wildly different than any of these. With a 103-foot wingspan but a body that's just 63-feet long, the layout of the U-2 makes a traditional landing setup infeasible. Instead, the U-2 utilizes a pair of wheels, one up front and one in back. With such a bizarre layout, landings are so tough that since the U-2's earliest flights at Area 51, the US Air Force has used high-performance chase cars to guide the pilot down safely. The landing process isn't over there, though. As this video from Sploid shows, balancing out the aircraft to fit the detachable "pogos" – think training wheels for spy planes – is a comical procedure requiring a number of airman using their full body weight to even out the U-2. This video also recaps some of the great vehicles that have served as chase vehicles for this legendary spy plane. They include Chevrolet El Caminos, and the Fox-body Ford Mustangs so favored by the California Highway Patrol. For the last several years, the USAF has utilized products from General Motors, using fourth-generation Chevy Camaros, before switching over to the Pontiac GTO and most recently, the awesome Pontiac G8. It's fair to say that if you're a gearhead in the Air Force, this is the job you want. Check out the video, embedded up top.

Why 2015 is going to be a huge year for trucks

Thu, Jan 22 2015

Nissan chief executive Carlos Ghosn took center stage to introduce the 2016 Titan last week at the Detroit Auto Show. He spoke of the truck's new features, impressive Cummins V8 diesel engine and the extensive amount of time and money required to build a modern, competitive pickup truck. "We have done all of this because we see opportunity – an opportunity in the unmet needs of today's American truck customers," Ghosn said. He was speaking about the Titan, but his thoughts echo the industry's mindset: When it comes to trucks, find an opportunity and attack. Even with CAFE regulations looming and fickle consumer preferences, investing in trucks is a no-brainer for automakers. Some consumers will always need a truck for their job or lifestyle. And some people will always want one, whether they need it or not. With that in mind, here are four reasons why the pickup-truck sector is more important than ever and poised for growth in 2015. View 24 Photos The Nissan Titan Is Back Okay, it never left, but the Titan hadn't been redesigned since its launch in 2003, and Nissan sold more NV200s than Titans in 2014. It's an understatement to say the truck was languishing. That all changes with the 2016 model. The Titan will come in two variants, a traditional fullsize competitor and the Titan XD. The XD will lead the market launch, and it arrives late this year. It's pitched as a "whitespace" offering, Nissan sales and marketing vice president Fred Diaz said. The idea is to offer something in the general size and price range of a fullsize truck, but also have some of the capability of a heavy-duty truck. The XD uses a fully boxed ladder frame, the chassis design from Nissan's commercial division, and the wheelbase is about 20 inches longer than other Titan models. The XD, which Nissan is calling the flagship of the line, will be the only model with the 5.0-liter Cummins turbodiesel V8. It produces 310 horsepower and 555 pound-feet of torque, while being able to tow 12,000 pounds. V6 and V8 gasoline models will also be offered on the Titan XD and the standard, non-XD model. When production ramps up, the Titan will be sold with several cabs, beds and trims. New features include trailer sway control, an integrated trailer brake controller, more storage options in the cabin and even laminated front and rear side glass to reduce outside noise. All of this has given Nissan fresh confidence in an area where it admittedly has been lacking. "We can compete," Diaz told Autoblog.
