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!

Texas sues GM, saying it tricked customers into sharing driving data sold to insurers

Wed, Aug 14 2024

Texas filed a lawsuit Tuesday against GM over years of alleged abuse of customers' data and trust. New car owners were presented with a "confusing and highly misleading" process that was implied to be for their safety, but "was no more than a deceptively designed sales flow" that surrendered their data for GM to sell. The suit contends that at no point was selling driving data ever even suggested as a possibility, putting GM in violation of the state's consumer protection laws. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking a jury trial and at least $10,000 per offense (every GM car sold in the state since 2015) and a hefty add-on of $250,000 in cases where the victim was over 65. Texas seems to be flying high after a recent $1.4 billion settlement from Meta over other privacy concerns. This may well be a way to solve any pending budgetary issues in the Lone Star State.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.

Stolen '57 Chevy Returned To Owner After 30 Years

Fri, Feb 21 2014

Three decades after it was stolen, a 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air has been returned to a Northern California man - in better shape than when he originally owned it. The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship. The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine. The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.
