This "fat fender" short bed Apache has only 850 miles on a complete rebuild of the original 283 c.i. engine, which runs like new. Has a new Edelbrock intake and 500 cfm 4-bbl carb. New headers with complete new Flowmaster dual exhaust. New MSD distributor and coil. Rear axle just rebuilt with new 3.38 differential, plus new bearings, seals, brake drums and shoes. New shocks front and rear. Transmission is original 3-speed with some 1st to 2d synchro noise but I have a spare. All original parts are on the truck except for the aftermarket improvements. It is licensed and driven on streets and highways. Stored indoors. I don't know the miles on the chassis as the odometer was reset when the engine was rebuilt, but it isn't ultra high and doesn't appear to have been abused.
Health issue prevents me from completing the restoration. Next phase is body, paint, glass and interior. Body is sound with very little rust and no Bondo or major dents, but current paint job by prior owner is poor. I have new aftermarket bumpers, grille and numerous smaller parts that go with the truck.
I have clear title in hand. Not interested in trades.Shipping is buyer's responsibility. Please make initial contact by email and feel free to ask any questions and give you a phone number. Thanks for considering this nice truck.

Pure Vision Design TT Camaro has 1,400 reasons to want it
Wed, 06 Nov 2013We've talked about Pure Vision Design before, a California-based company that made waves at last year's SEMA show with its Martini-liveried, Indy-car-powered Ford Mustang. That same car later starred in a Petrolicious video we showed you just a few weeks back. The company's latest creation is a menacing car it calls the Pure Vision Design TT Camaro. Based on a 1972 model, this car shares the Martini Mustang's clean styling and obsession with details.
Unlike the Mustang, which draws its power from a mid-60s Lotus-Ford Indycar engine, the "TT" in this Camaro's name implies something far more potent. The Nelson Racing Engines 427-cubic-inch V8 has been fitted with a pair of turbochargers, with a claimed output of 1,400 horsepower. That's almost 1,000 more than the Martini Mustang.
A six-speed Magnum transmission dispatches that power to the ground, while Pirelli PZero tires are tasked with (somehow) trying to grip the road. Baer brakes hide behind those HRE rims, while JRI coilovers and HyperTech springs bless the Camaro with some degree of competency in the bends.
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.
Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future
Wed, 19 Nov 2014The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.
