1959 Chevy Apache pickup on a 1979 Chevy 4x4 frame and running gear it was built by my father six years ago and is a driver so there are some nics and chips in the paint. the inner and outer cab corners have been replaced as well as new doors, fenders, glass. the bumpers, grill and headlight bezels are new replacement chrome pieces as well. there is a custom airbrushed Indian chief head on each door, feathers on the fenders and the words chief on the drivers side and squaw on the passenger. the gas tank has been moved to under the truck bed which is aluminum diamond plate instead of wood. custom duel exhaust with headers, 17" wheels and like new 265/70-17 Nitto Terra Grapplers. six way power Cadillac seat, power steering, power brakes and tilt wheel, original radio is in the dash, aftermarket one in the glove box. it has an aluminum radiator and the original 79 trans, axles, transfer, case and 350ci motor that has not been rebuilt, i am unsure of the miles on the 79 donor truck.
It is titled as a 59 Chevy pickup but is marked reconstructed because the original 59 tittle was lost. The speedometer and gas gauge have recently stopped working and it could probably use a new set of plugs but it is completely drivable and ready to go.
this truck has been in many shows around MN and has brought home a trophy at almost every one.
as i said this truck is a driver it is NOT a trailer queen there for some squeaks rattles and what not should be expected. it is for sale as is where is no warranty.
I have tried to list everything i can think of but i encourage bidders to ask any questions you may have and come take a look at it in person before bidding.
this item is also for sale locally so i reserve the right to end this auction early
please contact me with any questions or for a time to see in person.
Buyer is responsible for arranging shipping or picking up but i will help to load.

Use this PowerPoint when convincing your spouse to let you buy a Corvette
Thu, 14 Feb 2013When you are not the one in charge of the purse strings, creativity is a must when trying to get the string-holder to bankroll that next shiny object you just can't live without.
When I was a kid, I decided that life wasn't worth living if it weren't in pursuit of owning a GMC Typhoon. My 12-year-old self crafted a fiscal strategy that, when combined with my offer of a 49-percent share of ownership in the car in return for my parents' contribution of 80-percent of the purchase price, would see me behind the wheel of a Typhoon by the time I hit college. They walked away from the negotiating table and, the economic climate of the 8th grade being what it was at the time, another partner wasn't found before the Typhoon was discontinued.
Roy El-Rayes, however, has succeeded where 12-year-old me failed, and he did it by using the sort of professionalism that only a PowerPoint presentation can provide, along with some humor and bold-faced flattery.
Watch how Corvette Racing's new collision-avoidance radar system works
Fri, 22 Mar 2013When it comes to technology used in racecars, we generally expect it to trickle down to production cars, not the other way around. Well, Pratt & Miller has developed a new rear-facing radar that operates in a similar fashion to what we're used to in modern blind spot detection systems, only it is also capable of tracking cars as they approach and relaying vital information to the driver via a large display screen.
The innovative radar system debuted at last weekend's 12 Hours of Sebring for Corvette Racing, and this system makes perfect sense for endurance races like this since the cars sometimes have to drive through the night and in poor weather conditions.
The radar can detect cars even with poor visibility, and uses easy-to-distinguish symbols for the driver to identify.
Chevrolet SS previewed by Holden VF Commodore SS V show car
Thu, 14 Feb 2013It won't be long before we see the official, production-ready Chevrolet SS sedan (hint: it will be revealed this weekend). And to tide us over until all of the official details are released about the US-spec version, we have this: the Holden VF Commodore SS V show car, a performance-oriented brother to the Calais V that debuted earlier in the week.
What we really want to know about the SS V is what lies underhood, but General Motors' Australian arm is keeping that under wraps until the Chevy model breaks cover this weekend. Nevertheless, it's obvious that the SS V will be a serious performer, with all sorts of aggressive cues driving that home on the car's exterior. Take a look at those 20-inch billet aluminum wheels that hide big Brembo brake calipers up front, the sculpted hood and front fascia, the wide air intakes with LED running lights and the quad exhaust pipes out back. It's like the Pontiac G8 GXP never even left us.
Inside, there's a sporty-looking interior with aluminum accents that mix in with black leather and suede surfaces, all tied together in the middle with an eight-inch MyLink touchscreen infotainment system. It looks great, and again, while we don't know anything regarding powertrain details, it makes us oh-so happy to see a manual shifter smack dab in the middle of the center console.
