1970 Chevrolet Blazer Base Sport Utility 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Mansfield, Pennsylvania, United States
Up for auction is a 1970 Chevrolet Blazer a buddy and I picked up a couple of years ago in Fayette County, PA. The truck had been sitting for a long time and was last inspected in 1998. It looked as though the previous owner started a restoration and stopped after realizing he was in over his head. We winched her on a car hauler and brought her home. The previous owner had picked up a new soft top and rail system and a poly fuel cell to replace the leaking stocker. It has a set of white wagon wheels and is in desperate need of tires. The tires on it hold air for a while, but are pretty worn and weather checked. The front left has a spare tire on it because it made for easier loading and unloading from the car hauler. Once we got her home I pulled the stock intake, carb, distributor, wires, and plugs. I replaced the plugs, installed some Accel plug wires, and a HEI distributor. I swapped the cast iron two barrel intake for an aluminum Edelbrock four barrel intake. The carb is a 600 CFM, electric choke Edelbrock. The valve covers, thermostat housing, and air cleaner are all Edelbrock as well. Once the intake was buttoned up, we hooked up a temporary fuel cell and bumped it over to see where the timing was hitting. The truck fired right up and settled into an idle. As long as the battery is charged, that's all you have to do. Just bump the key and it fires right up every time....way better than my '79 does! The transmission is a manual, three speed on the column that shifts perfectly. Our plan was to remove the column shift and install an automatic for ease of use. The passenger and rear sets are in good shape, but the driver's seat needs some attention. There's a removable GMC center console as well as the push bar mounted on the front bumper. The lights, gauges, and indicators all work as they should and the wiring looks good save the switch that was installed for a set of off road lights on the push bar. The switch and lights were removed. There is no stereo, but the dash is otherwise in great shape. It had been a while since either of us had run a three speed, but once familiarized we had no problem navigating all over the property with the Blazer in 2 and 4 wheel drive. As stated, there is a new poly fuel cell in the rear that needs installed as well as an aftermarket soft top. We didn't attempt to install either as we used the Blazer for running around the property. That was pretty much all the good, so I'll move on to the not so good. The body is in need of extensive repair. I could ramble on about all of the parts that have rust, but I'll let the pics do the talking. The frame has scaling, but only appears to have one hold on the side of the c channel above the left rear shock mount. Below you'll find a link to a short video of us firing her up. The idle is a bit high as the choke isn't hooked up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tLZUA6CB6M&feature=youtu.be The truck will come with the stock intake, manifold, carb, and some miscellaneous spare parts. The truck can be driven on to a trailer for transport. Drop me a line with any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. This is a no reserve auction for a good old classic truck that needs a new home! |

Recharge Wrap-up: Volt makes up third of Quebec Chevy dealerships sales, Tesla seeks Aussie talent
Wed, Nov 5 2014A Chevrolet dealership in Quebec has had the Volt make up 35 percent of its sales so far this year. Bourgeois Chevrolet in Rawdon, Quebec received recognition for the feat at the 2014 Electric Vehicle Conference, where it won the award for Leading Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle Dealership. To sell that many, Bourgeois Chevrolet had to import used Volts from the US, and keeps about 50 units on the lot in various configurations. The conference also saw Park Avenue Nissan of Brossard, Quebec win the Leading Battery Electric Vehicle Dealership Award, and Loch Lomond Mitsubishi of Saint John, New Brunswick receive the award for Electric Vehicle Dealership Inspiration.

Ford, General Motors and Toyota have announced that they will shut down their Australian factories, leaving behind a lot of unused talent. Tesla recently held a "Recruiting Open House" in Melbourne for engineers to fill positions at its plant in Fremont, CA, where they will be paired with other Aussie engineers already on staff.

Valeo recently showed an electric turbo it plans to supply to an unnamed automaker at a fuel economy showcase event at the EPA's National Vehicle Emissions and Fuel Lab. Electric turbochargers have the advantage of greatly reduced lag when compared to exhaust-driven turbos. They also work well when paired with cylinder deactivation, providing a much-needed boost when driving on a grade, which can help reduce the need for cylinders to reactivate. Independence from the exhaust system also makes it easier to package the turbocharger wherever there is room. Read more from Navigant Research. US crude oil futures have dropped to their lowest in more than two years. Saudi Arabia cut oil costs for the US and raised them for Europe and Asia as the US has increased output. On November 3, US crude futures fell as much as 2.2 percent in New York. West Texas Intermediate closed at $78.78, the lowest since June 2012. Brent crude slipped $1.08 to $84.78 a barrel.

Opel's version of the Chevy Bolt will confuse people at Paris Motor Show
Fri, Aug 26 2016Two things are now official. First, Opel will reveal the Ampera-e, or the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt, at the Paris Motor Show in October. Second, General Motors has outdone itself in brand confusion, topping the Bolt/Volt ridiculousness. Opel isn't giving a single-charge range for the Ampera-e but the company is promising a "significantly longer range" than other electric vehicles. The Bolt is estimated to have a 200-mile range on the EPA scale, so whatever the Opel achieves on the European cycle will be done with the same batteries and motor as the Chevy. Opel is also looking to appeal to the auto enthusiasts with other factoids, which are basically just Bolt stats translated into metric. For instance, the Ampera-e will be able to go 0 to 50 kilometers per hour (which is 31 miles per hour to us Americans, but we're talking Europe here) in just 3.2 seconds. And for those looking to stay connected, as many as seven mobile devices can attached to the car's wireless hot spot. GM said in February that the European of the Bolt would be available across the pond next year, so the most recent bit of news isn't shocking. Still, General Motors continues to create confusion between all-electric Bolt and the extended-range plug-in Volt. It's already been reported that the Korean symbol and pronunciation of what is "B" in English is identical to the English "V," meaning that there is no difference between "Bolt" and "Volt" in that country (though there are no plans to sell the Bolt in South Korea as of yet). Now, in Europe, they're taking the name they used to use for the European of the Volt — Ampera — and merely adding an "-e" at the end of it. For those looking to be less confused, take a look at Opel's press release here.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra debut all-new designs, three new engines
Thu, 13 Dec 2012General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
