So this is our 1959 Chevy Apache Pickup. For those of you with background and knowledge, you will immediately notice that the front fenders/headlights are off a 1957 Chevy. Why? I have no idea. But this is in fact a titled and VIN matched 1959. I suspect that at some time in the past, a previous owner that did the paint job probably liked the look of the 57 better and changed them. There's no indications on the rest of the truck that it would have been the result of either excessive rust, nor do I believe that someone piled up the truck on just the 2 front quarters.

Anyway, about the truck:

We picked this beauty up a while ago to use as part of a photography business. We have now decided we are done with it and ready to move on.

No secrets. The truck is way better than most unrestored of this vintage. Someone painted it gold in the past. The paint is pretty decent still. But nothing spectacular. The box wood was replaced as well. And that IS very nice. Tailgate opens and closes. Doors open and close tight. Truck starts right up....every single time. It doesn't smoke, choke, or sputter. It runs nicely.....really does. Shifts easily thru all 4 forward gears, as well as reverse. The stereo works, and actually the speakers are decent. The seat is something out of a late model rig. Its comfortable enough, but in my opinion looks dumb. All the gauges seem to work, but for the odometer/speedometer....it doesn't roll. The steering wheel is all wood....actually is pretty darn nice. Carpets good, floors solid etc. It for sure was someone's amatuer start on a restoration. Certainly some of it was done well.

You can honestly drive it right now, every day, without concern.

Tires are marginal, it steers and wanders like you would expect. Brakes are good. Headlights are good, but only one blinker and one taillight. So a little wiring.

But truly everyone, this is a nice little truck. It's not rusty, crusty or dusty. Way better than a lot of trucks I see on here.

If I can answer any questions let me know. Thanks for looking and good luck.

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.

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.
