Up for auction is a 1961 CHEVY APACHE 10 short bed half ton step side! This is a very nice looking truck that gets lots of attention everywhere it goes!

I will do my best to describe all the work and parts that have been gone over in the recent years but please look close and read the ad carefully and ask any questions you may have before bidding! So the 350 small block was put in the truck in the late 1980s and never got driven much on the road just used to move things around and haul feed! over the years the gaskets and seals got dry so I removed it and freshened it up with a set of completely rebuilt cast iron heads, valves are 202 / 160 with 70cc chambers (the heads on it were 64cc not set up for unleaded fuel) with new fel pro head bolts and a full gasket set, new timing chain, water pump, oil pump with welded pick up, fuel pump, front and rear main seals, brass freeze plugs, chrome pulleys, belt and hoses! less than a hundred miles since the over haul! runs like a top! transmission came out and got pressure washed and painted at the same time! all the brake hardware and shoes got replaced a few years back and are still like new! on the inside all the knobs for the vents, choke, throttle and cigarette lighter is also new! glove box insert & heater core is a few years old as is the ignition switch, glove box lock and door lock! All of the wiring inside and out was redone in the last few years and like new! fuel tank and sending unit are a few years old and like new! heater controls are working and were put in it used from another truck in good condition! seat is original and in need of a cover or new upholstery but useable! floor mat and clutch, brake and gas pedals are in good shape! the sun visor is in poor condition and could use a replacement! The paint is ok but not of high quality and there are some pitting and scratches and crazing here and there but looks good from 10 feet away! there is next to no rust on this truck it was parked in the barn most of its life! wheels are aftermarket aluminum in good shape just needing a polish and tires are 33 12.50 15s with about 50% tread remaining! If I missed something please ask or if you are a serious buyer send me your phone number and I will call you! bid to win only if you have permission from your wife or any one else that has a hand in the finances or decision making! I have the right to end the auction early if I get a good offer! this truck is sold as is and were is with no warranty and shipping is on the buyer!

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
Artist imagines eerie world where cars have no wheels
Thu, 24 Jan 2013The wheel ranks right up there with the telescope and four-slice toaster in the pantheon of inventions that have moved humankind forward. But what if a circle in three dimensions had never occurred to anyone, and we all had just moved on without it? Perhaps we'd be driving around in Lucas Motors Landspeeders with anti-gravity engines. Or maybe we'd have the same cars we do today, just without wheels.
That's the thought experiment that seems to have led French photographer Renaud Marion to create his six-image series called Air Drive. The shots depict cars throughout many eras of motoring that look normal except for one thing: they have no wheels. The models used include a Jaguar XK120, Cadillac DeVille (shown above), Chevrolet El Camino and Camaro, and Mercedes-Benz SL and 300 roadsters.
Perhaps one day when our future becomes our past, you'll be able to walk the street and see with your own eyes the rust and patina of age on our nation's fleet of floating cars. Until then, Monsieur Marion's photographs will have to do.
