1960 Chevrolet Truck Base 3.8l on 2040-cars
Phoenix, Maryland, United States
|
An all-original, 1960 Chevrolet C-10 Apache pickup. A true survivor/thriver. I am third owner, have had the truck for a little over a year. First two owners lived in Midwest and truck only has light rust throughout. I have loved owning this truck, but must sell her since we can only have 3 vehicles. She runs, shifts, and rides great. We have used her for light duty chores the past year (cleaning out basement, trips to dump, etc.). The day I bought her, I drove over 700 miles from Missouri back East. Passed Virginia inspection on second try after minor work (exhaust pipe replacement and lights adjusted). Never been restored, she looks this good given how well all owners have maintained and garaged her. In past year, I have gotten four new tires, had radiator and clutch replaced as well. Three on a tree manual transmission, smooth and strong. Also added two lap belts (than match the seat color) for safety. Bed is all wood, have treated it with linseed oil to keep in good shape. Less than 89,000 miles. Could be enjoyed as is, or restored. Buyer may drive or tow, but plates need to stay. A bit more history for those interested.....truck purchased by a gentleman from Kevil, Kentucky in 1961 at the Cape Girardeau, Missouri Chevy truck dealership. Truck was manufactured in St. Louis. Garage kept, and mileage kept low over the years. Upon his passing, truck was purchased by another gentleman from Bonne Terre, Missouri, and continued to be covered from the elements when not in use. Truck then went to auction on eBay last year April, and I purchased and drove it back to Virginia. Original owners manual and mechanical records will convey with truck. |

Corvette Stingray Convertible images mysteriously appear on web, so we add our own
Tue, 22 Jan 2013It was inevitable that we'd see the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray topless at some point, but that didn't make us any less interested when a pair of supposedly leaked official images showed up on theautoinsiderblog.com last week. We posted them on our Facebook page, but held off reporting on them here until we could get a little more information.
Those images, which feature a dark red car on a sterile black studio background, supposedly first appeared on the website of diecast model maker Maisto. A Chevrolet spokesman has been reported saying that they are "not official images released by Chevrolet PR," which isn't a denial they're the real deal, but neither is it a confirmation.
Close examination of the photos suggest they could be official shots of the Corvette Stingray Convertible, and while some have doubted their authenticity due to a lack of vents (which were seen on the C7s that debuted in Detroit last week), it could be that the images are of a base model car without the Z51 package that doesn't require the extra venting and cooling.
GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns
Thu, 31 Jan 2013Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
