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 doors open and close correctly, and the windows roll up and down correctly. window seals are new and the hood to cowl seal, and rubber hood and door bumpers are new. The door seals have not been put in place yet. I have the door seals and 3M seal adhesive just haven't installed them yet. I have some pictures of the truck while being restored posted so you can get a idea of what went into the truck. 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. I'am not a dealer, I just like restoring old trucks and getting them back on the road If you have any questions or need more pictures you can email me or call 256-689-6401 My wife made a video of the truck running and driving (sorry about the back ground noise was windy when the video was made)) click on the link to see the video https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=18808559549ca91d&id=18808559549CA91D%213913&v=3&sff=1 I had some questions concerning the video of the truck. In the part of the video where I open and close the passenger door. I show how the door closes smoothly and I push and pull the door to show that the door closes tightly. Both the drivers door and passengers door operate smoothly and close firmly. In the part of the video where I show the engine running. I let the truck idle in park for a while then I get into the truck and put it nto drive and let it idle for a bit in drive. You can hear this in the video when the engine idles down when shifted into drive. And then idles back up again when put back into drive. A deposit of $500.00 dollars is required through Paypal within 24 hours of end of auction unless other arrangements have been made with me. The rest of the payment is due within 3 days unless other arrangements have been made with me and payment can be sent over night in cashiers check or wire transfer to my bank. Or you can come pick up the truck if you like. Thanks but I'am not interested in trades Sorry, but I'am not a buy here pay here lot. I can not do financing 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

This is your 2014 Chevrolet SS
Sat, 16 Feb 2013Think you've waited long enough for this? If so, then you'll want to savor the high-res photos we've so far been given of the 2014 Chevrolet SS, the first rear-wheel-drive performance sedan from The Bowtie in 17 years.
We all know its our version of the brand new VF-model Holden Commodore, but what's under the hood that earns the appellation "performance?" A 6.2-liter LS3 V8 engine producing 415 horsepower and 415 pound-feet of torque. That's 35 hp and lb-ft less than the same engine is expected to produce in the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. Chevrolet says the sedan will get from 0-to-60 miles per hour "in about five seconds."
Shifting comes courtesy of a six-speed automatic with paddles on the steering wheel, while stopping arrive via four-piston Brembo calipers up front, a single sliding piston in back. The forged aluminum wheels are 19-inchers all around, each set supporting right around 50 percent of the sedan's weight, and the aluminum hood and trunk are meant to keep the center of gravity low.
Lutz dishes dirt on GM in latest Autoline Detroit
Mon, 20 Jun 2011Bob Lutz sits down for Autoline Detroit - Click above to watch video after the jump
Autoline Detroit recently played host to Bob Lutz, and, as is always the case, the former General Motors vice chairman dished out some great commentary. Lutz was promoting his new book Car Guys vs. Bean Counters: The Battle for the Soul of American Business, and talk quickly turned to his role as it related to product development and high-level decision making at GM. While on the topic of brand management, Lutz revealed a few rather interesting tidbits about his former employer:
All Chevrolet vehicles were required to have five-spoke aluminum wheels and a chrome band up front, as part of the Bowtie brand's overall image.
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
