Chevrolet Apache 350 CID V8 1961
General description :
This 1961 Chevrolet C10 Apache Pick up is available in our Louisville KY showroom.1960 would introduce the first year for Chevy's C/K line of pickups. The new series was the first truck to have what is known as a drop center ladder frame. Still used in trucks today this allows the cab to sit much lower which in turn makes it feel as if you're in a car. Add to that the independent front suspension and many people said that these trucks rode better than a lot of the cars being produced. This 61 C10 has took those same principals and well basically has put them on steroids. Underneath this short bed you will find not only a very modern set up but one that takes the word sport truck to a whole new level. The decision was made to take the front and rear of a C4 corvette and apply it to the truck. With the front using the coil over set up this truck steers like no other. The rear has been done the same way with the independent rear end complimenting the front perfectly. Not to mention the 4 wheel disk brakes were also implemented making this truck a true weapon on those windy back roads.Of course all this sporty ride doesn't mean much if you don't have any power going to those tires. Having that said a brand new GM 350 small block crate motor was purchased and dropped in. Hooked up to a turbo 350 transmission this "Apache" is ready for war. The 10 bolt rear has even been equipped with a set of 3.08 gears just in case you have to jump on the highway to make it to the next car show. The polished wooded finishes off this 61 and really just ties it all together. Options for this 1961 Chevrolet "Apache" C10 pick up include; Power Brakes, Power Steering, Seats, Tilt Wheel, Seat Belts, Vinyl Interior and Radial Tires on Custom Wheels.

About Chevrolet
Chevrolet aka Chevy, founded in 1911 by Louis Chevrolet and William C. Durant is the best selling and biggest brand by General Motors -mainly due to low pricing. No wonder Chevy the "working man's car" has become such an iconic part of Americana in films and pop-culture.
When talking about Chevy one must not ignore Chevrolet small-block V8 the world's most produced engine that has been in production since 1955 and still going strong.
Surprisingly, "America's only sports car" Corvette was introduced under Chevrolet brand rather than its own. To us the most memorable Corvette has to be The second generation (C2) Corvette, Sting Ray.
To compete with VW Beatle Chevrolet introduced Corvair a compact automobile built in 1960–1969 It was the only American designed, mass-produced passenger car to feature a rear-mounted air-cooled engine. Corvair handling was deemed notoriously bad mainly due to Ralph Nader's Unsafe at Any Speed. Although, any handling issues were soon solved the reputation did stick.
With Pony / Muscle car mania taking over the Americans, following the introduction of Ford Mustang, Chevrolet came up with one of its most famous models Camaro. During the first year alone they managed to sell 220,906 Camaros.
