Vehicle Description
Step into the world of automotive artistry with this 1959 Chevrolet
Apache Koolant Customs. This stunning vehicle is the product of a
$240K build, executed by a bona fide automotive power couple with
virtually no limits. The result? A mind-numbing head-turner that
wraps a 327 cubic inch small block and stalwart 700R4 transmission
in a custom suspension and one-of-a-kind appearance. The Koolant's
design theme is a nod to the late '50s and early '60s, when America
was enamored with space and space travel. The Apache's striking
resemblance to rockets and aircraft is amplified in this custom
build. The truck's solid, all-original body was completely stripped
and customized with traditional touches like shaved fenders and a
nosed hood, complemented with a smoothed bed, a smoothed tailgate,
capped bed stakes, and a custom gravel pan. Under the hood, you'll
find a 327 cubic inch Chevrolet V8 that utilizes a .060 overbore to
create stout 9.88 to 1 compression. The engine is cooled by a
custom-shrouded aluminum radiator, and exhaust rumbles through
ceramic-coated Sanderson block huggers. The undercarriage of this
Chevy is as impressive as its engine bay and exterior. The dressed
327's power flows into a chromed and painted 700R4 4-speed,
equipped with a 2,400RPM stall converter. The truck rides on
traditional Chevy leaf springs, attached to high-quality Bilstein
shocks. Inside, the detail-oriented cockpit features charmingly
retro surfaces. The custom '59 Chevrolet dash hangs custom,
Koolant-branded Classic Instruments gauges above Vintage Air
climate control fitted with custom, bullet-style knobs. A 6-way
power bench centers a Koolant-branded crest on tight leather and
shimmering '50s deadstock fabric. This 1959 Chevrolet Apache
Koolant Customs is a unique combination of time, talent, and
exceptional attention to detail. With its killer paint, hot small
block, and stylish interior, it's the kind of top-notch street rod
that's guaranteed to make a statement.
