1959 Chevrolet Other Pickups Restomod
The merger of vintage appeal and upgraded, more modern technology seldom produces the endlessly cool results this 1959 Chevrolet Apache Restomod offers. Only 2700 miles beyond a frame off restoration that brought it to stellar form, it harbors ultra-potent big block power, outstanding curb appeal and a sharp custom interior. It will rumble into its next owner's garage with quite a bit of documentation on board, including built receipts to back up the considerable work and expense that produced its... awesomeness. Such a cool looking truck! It's retained nearly all of its original configuration, featuring a striking collection of chrome up front, where you find its pair of crystal clear dual headlights looming above a beefy bumper and grille and some very ornate badging - check out those Apache insignias on the front fenders. Its black paint has a great shine to it, amplifying the already substantial curb appeal this vintage truck possesses. While the color itself can be a mixed bag, in that it has a tendency to amplify every blemish it may carry, there's not much to worry about here - this exterior is looking pretty darned clean, with contrasting red accents that really draw you in. The period correct visor over the front windshield adds a thoroughly vintage touch, while its lowered and aggressively inclined stance, augmented by larger tires in back, confers unmistakable customization - an effective combination. The chrome panel topping the liftgate is a nice added touch. There's quite an impressive custom leather interior waiting just inside the doors, at the center of which sits a pair of contoured black buckets with red pinstriping to mirror the appearance of the exterior, as well as the door panels to each side. The level of detail on display here is impressive. A digital gauge cluster now fills the diamond instrument panel just beyond the Lecarra steering wheel sitting on its chrome tilt column, surrounded by black steel that's as clean as any you're likely to come across and every control switch and knob looks like it's been polished to perfection. Below, the carpeting is in top form, wearing red pinstripes of its own that tie in perfectly with the rest of the interior and a pair of speakers have been recessed into the kick panels to fill the cabin with sound from the AM/FM/Cassette deck at the center of the dash. An aftermarket climate control system stands by to warm or cool the cabin as needed and it, like pretty much everything else on this '59, is in top notch condition. There's a spellbinding collection of polished components on display under the hood, surrounding the gargantuan supercharged 502 cubic inch V8 that's capable of propelling this classic at G-force inducing speed. Armed with a Weiand blower, Edelbrock aluminum heads and a quick fuel carb, the powerplant is good for more than 450 horses and teams with a 3-speed automatic TH400 with an added Gear Vendor overdrive unit to make driving this classic an absolute blast. A sizable aluminum radiator teams with a pair of electric fans to keep operating temperatures under control, while the added Air Ride suspension in both front and back provides Transformer-like adjustability. Power steering makes for easy navigation and stopping ability is handled by power discs at all four corners, with Wilwood calipers in back, as this eye-catching classic cruises on its set of Boyd Coddington wheels - 18" in front and 20" in back - wrapped with Yokohama tires that still have plenty of tread left. Off the charts curb appeal combines with all the power you could want to make this 1959 Chevrolet Apache Restomod a real standout. Call today!
