Up for sale is this gorgeous 1973 Chevy Blazer K5 Cheyenne Edition. I bought the truck on eBay in August 2013. It was originally a one-owner truck from Arizona with no rust at all. Since then, I restored the entire truck from top to bottom. Here is a list of all the work I had done:

 Appearance:

All new flat black (matte black) paint & clear coat.

This can serve you as a daily driver or a show car. This truck gets a lot of attention, thumbs up & even people stopping me to ask about it. I invested over $35,000 to get the truck to this point. Own this vintage, full size, convertible Chevy Blazer 4x4. They are becoming more rare by the day. An excellent investment and something you can enjoy daily. Vintage SUVs and Trucks (Bronco, Land Rover, Jeep, Chevy Blazer, GMC Jimmy, Toyota Landcruiser FJ40, etc) are up over 65% in the past three years!!! When I purchased the truck, it came with a salvage title, which doesn’t matter on a 40+ year vehicle. I had no problems registering the truck in New York. The previous seller mentioned in the sale description that the truck was a victim of theft many years ago & nothing was wrong with it when it was recovered. I encourage you to inspect the vehicle before bidding. I am sure you will fall in love with it as much as we have. With any questions, comments or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact me by email or at 718-781-5854 BEFORE BIDDING.

Notes:

The 1973 Blazers were radically changed in appearance from previous models.  Major styling features consisted of curved side glass, doors that opened into the roof line, and the elimination of roof drip rails.  Running along the belt line was a sculptured cove.  Along with the very wide and flat load box, it gave the new model very clean and distinctive lines.  A wider interior featured a powered, flow-through ventilation system.  A redesigned dash, with all instruments and controls placed in a semi-circular cluster within easy reach and view of the driver, was adopted.  The steering wheel was reduced in diameter and the wheelbase was lengthed from 104 to 106.5.

The 1973 Blazers had a full-time 4x4 system.

Those with the Cheyenne trim had a chrome circle on the rear fender.

The tailgate came two ways, with the open utility it was like the Fleetside Pickup's gate and when the optional hardtop was ordered, the gate had a manually-operated roll-up window, this eliminated the lift-gate that had been used in older tops.

New energy absorbing steering column.

The Blazer's single-unit body was joined to a heavy channel steel frame and had a completely removable fiberglass top.

The Blazer was designed and marketed to compete with International Harvester Scout and the Ford Bronco. Both of these were originally aimed at the short Jeep CJ series, which were much smaller than other trucks. The great innovation of the Blazer was to simply offer a shortened pickup truck, which both increased interior space, and lowered the cost of production with a shared platform. The Blazer quickly became popular. For the first time, it married the off-road capabilities of the Scout with the "luxury" features like air conditioning and automatic transmissions routinely available on pickup trucks. By 1970, the Blazer was already outselling both of its older rivals. Ford, Dodge, and even Jeep would counter with similar shortened pickups, with the Dodge Ramcharger and Jeep Cherokee. It also came as a convertible”

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*

Fri, 26 Apr 2013

After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).

GM to make most cars LTE hotspots for 2015

Mon, 25 Feb 2013

General Motors isn't the first automaker to deliver in-car Internet access, but a proposed plan announced today could make the technology more widespread than any of its competitors have offered. By the 2015 model year, most Chevrolet, Buick, Cadillac and GMC products in the US and Canada will offer 4G LTE mobile broadband access. Initially, GM will just be pairing with AT&T to deliver this service, but additional carriers will be revealed in the future.
Current in-car Wi-Fi hot spots are limited to 3G, but GM says that 4G LTE is 10 times faster than 3G service and will allow for full Internet access, including streaming video for entertainment as well as services like real-time traffic updates and navigation driving directions. There is also no need for a paired smartphone with this new system, which should make it easier to use, and GM and AT&T will also be working together to develop new apps for customers.
Buyers can expect to start seeing 4G LTE in their cars starting next year, and GM is already planning to expand the service to other global markets as well. All of the information from GM's announcement is posted in a press release below.

2014 Chevrolet Malibu gets more torque, more room and inspiration from the Impala

Fri, 31 May 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet Malibu, having stared at the Impala across the showroom floor for a year, gets nips and tucks all over inspired by its larger brother. The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the base car will get a stop-start system and 23 city miles per gallon, 35 highway, each number representing a one-mpg improvement over the 2013 car. Output is 196 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque.
Opt for the 2.0-liter turbo and, while power holds steady at 259 hp, torque goes up by 14 percent to a striking 295 lb-ft (a figure Chevy calls best in the class). The final details include newly programmed transmission shift points and faster shifts, for better engaging and enjoying the added power.
Looks-wise, the grille's been reshaped to be more in line with the new Chevrolet look, a narrower upper grille hovering over a larger lower grille.
