1960 Chevrolet Apache 10 Custom Deluxe Short Wide V8 Oklahoma on 2040-cars
Vinita, Oklahoma, United States
|
Here is an extremely rare 1960 Chevrolet Apache 1/2 ton short wide from Oklahoma. It needs a few things to be finished up. It is not even close to being perfect, just a good looking truck, the paint has chips and a couple of bubbles on the front lower corners of the doors, even has bug guts from a little night driving. It has every piece of trim unique to the 1960 that was available that year even the trim under the back glass that was only offered on the 1960, there may be very few in early 1961 but I have not seen one. All trim is stainless, including grille, not aluminum. I've seen the side cab sails and this long connector piece on Ebay for $1500, not sure if it ever sold but that's how hard these are to find, very few of these trucks and/or parts left. I paid $1,000 to complete the stainless side trim set just because I wanted every piece that belonged on the truck and it's now all there, and more. The door glasses and wing windows (original) even have the original chrome around them and roll up and down perfectly with all new felts and rubbers. It has a custom console with stainless cup holders and a Sony Explode stereo system with 2- 6" speakers and 2-6X9's on the kick panels. The truck has a 1989 Chevrolet truck 350 , serpentine belt, polished aluminum valve covers, Edelbrock 650 carb and 700r4 transmission with a 1979 Pontiac Trans-Am, disc brake, 10 bolt posi-trac with 273 gears (cruises at high speeds with ease) I have the lock up converter on a toggle switch which drops the rpm another 400 rpm in high gear. This model 700r4 had a digital speedometer so I installed the mechanical gears to run the original speedometer, the cable is good, the speedometer worked for a short time but does not work now. New tires and American Racing wheels. Rear wheels were special order 5" inside back space to get the 295/50/15's to clear with no problems. The wheel tubs were widened 3" also. 4 wheel power disc brakes with all new calipers, the rear has drilled and slotted rotors. New 2 1/2" dual exhaust all the way to the rear with Flowmaster Super 44's, sounds awesome. This was the last exhaust system that Billy Jack of Chouteau Oklahoma installed, he installed thousands of exhaust systems over a 30 year period, he always done quality work, he was very good at what he did and done a super job on this truck too. Blue dot Tri-bar headlights and blue dot lens on the rear. Power rack and pinion steering with tilt, chrome steering column and walnut/chrome steering wheel. Stainless steel bed strips and bolts with black walnut from Johnsons' saw mill in Spavinaw Oklahoma. New stainless steel tail gate chains and latches. New aluminum radiator. New chrome door sill plates. New front and rear bumpers. New stainless steel windshield wiper arms. Again, the truck is not a show truck. If you want something that needs very little work and is very rare, this is it. If you are looking for a show truck, please look at other trucks. Here are the things that needs to be done. 1. Needs the back glass which is cracked right now. I tried to install it by myself so it has a new gasket, I just broke the glass. 2. Needs carpet, arm rests and seat upholstered. The seat frame is in good shape to be recovered, it is the original 1960 seat that came in this truck. 3. Needs the windshield installed, it is a brand new windshield and looks like it is in but it is not. I drive it like it is with no problems but I don't drive it in the rain either. I can't find anyone around here that will install it, everyone says the wide stainless trim in the rubber and the curved glass makes it one of the hardest windshields there are to install. With the help of a friend we got it close, but not in, I was afraid of breaking it. I'm not a glass installer (see line 1) 4. Needs speedometer, cable and gears in transmission are good. I'm sure I have missed some things, feel free to ask anything. The buyer will be responsible for any/all shipping costs. I live about 3 miles from a major intersection ( 69 and 44 ) truck stop so loading is not a problem. Make me an offer. The most I can do is say no. Thanks for looking |

2015 Green Car Of The Year finalists announced, run alt-fuel gamut
Tue, Oct 21 2014The 2015 edition of the Green Car of the Year award is following right in the footsteps of previous years with a variety of alt-fuel powertrains making the just-announced finalists list. You've got your plug-in vehicle (the BMW i3), your compressed natural gas (the Chevy Impala Bi-Fuel), your high-efficiency diesel (the Audi A3 TDI), your 40+ mile-per-gallon gas engine (the Honda Fit) and, finally, a car that can do a little bit of everything (the VW Golf). The Golf is available – at least in some parts of the US – with three different powertrains: a 2.0-liter diesel, a gasoline engine and all-electric drive. The Impala can burn either natural gas or gasoline in its 3.6-liter engine. The A3 is an efficiency champ, able to get 73.5 mpg on some European tests. The i3 can be a pure electric vehicle or come with a short range extending engine. And the Fit brings 41 miles to the gallon in a practical, affordable package. The GCOY award is announced every year at the Los Angeles Auto Show by Green Car Journal. The committee doesn't just take the fuel-saving technology into account, but also a vehicle's "availability to the mass market." Last year, the Honda Accord Hybrid/Plug-In Hybrid won top honors, following up on wins from the Ford Fusion models (plug-in hybrid and hybrid) for 2013, the Honda Civic Natural Gas for 2012 and the Chevrolet Volt for 2011. FINALISTS ANNOUNCED FOR 2015 "GREEN CAR OF THE YEAR"" Green Car Journal to Reveal Winner of 10th Annual Award at LA Auto Show" Press & Trade Days, November 20 LOS ANGELES, CA (October 21, 2014) – Green Car Journal has announced its five finalists for the magazine's high-profile 2015 Green Car of the Year® program. The 2015 models include the Audi A3 TDI, BMW i3, Chevrolet Impala Bi-Fuel, Honda Fit, and VW Golf. The Green Car of the Year® award, an honor widely recognized as the auto industry's most important environmental accolade, celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. An increasing number of vehicle models are considered for the Green Car of the Year® program each year, a reflection of the auto industry's expanding efforts in offering new vehicles with higher efficiency and improved environmental impact. Green Car Journal has been honoring the most important "green" vehicles every year at the LA Auto Show, since its inaugural award announced at the show in 2005.
May 2016: FCA wins, Ford and GM stumble on weak car volumes
Wed, Jun 1 2016The May 2016 sales numbers are in, and it looks as though FCA is getting some vindication for boldly cancelling two slow-selling car models. Meanwhile, Ford saw overall sales dip and GM's May volume took a big dive versus the same month in 2015. While Marchionne's decision to axe the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart has drawn criticism as being short-sighted, it's working for FCA so far. Although the Dart and 200 aren't out of production yet and no capacity has been shifted to crossover or trucks, May's numbers show that the emphasis on Jeep and Ram models makes sense right now. FCA's US sales rose 1 percent last month compared to May 2015, putting the year-to-date total at 955,186 vehicles, an increase of 6 percent compared to the same period last year. Standouts included the Jeep Renegade, Compass, and Patriot, and the Fiat 500X. Ram pickup sales were down 3 percent. And your fun fact is that Alfa Romeo sales were up precisely 10 percent, for a total of 44 4Cs sold versus 40 in the same month last year. At FoMoCo, the Ford brand took a hit to the tune of 6.4 percent from May 2015 to 2016, registering 226,190 sales last month. Lincoln showed improvement on its modest numbers, going from 9,174 to 9,807, a 6.9 percent increase. Overall, Ford was down 5.9 percent for the month to 235,997; despite the slump, year-to-date total Ford sales are up 4.2 percent to 1,112,939. Strong sellers included Escape, Expedition, F-Series, and Transit - big stuff. Most small and/or efficient models (Fiesta, Focus, Fusion, C-Max) saw sales slides. Fusion sales were also down, likely due to effects of model changeover to the freshened 2017 model. Ford has promised four new crossovers and SUVs by 2020 and if things keep trending this way the company will be able to sell them, but things could change in the next four years. GM saw the worst of it for domestic brands. Retail and fleet sales were down for each of the four divisions, with the May 2016 total dropping 18 percent to 240,450 vehicles. GM's year-to-date sales are down 5.0 percent in 2016 to 1,183,705. Both the Sierra and Silverado were down significantly, and the majority of Chevy, Buick, GMC, and Cadillac nameplates saw sales decreases, with both small cars and larger utilities included. Not even big stuff could help GM this month, it seems. We'll have more on the rest of the industry's May sales as those figures trickle in.
