Up for sale is my 1972 Chevy Blazer.  This was originally bought in TX and has spent its whole life in either CA/TX (little to no rust).  I bought this 2 years ago from the owner of a mechanics shop.  He had owned it for 10+ years and hadn't driven it a great deal.  I was hoping to use this as a good base to make into my vision of this body style.  Unfortunately, 2 years has gone by and I literally haven't done a single thing to it (and have driven it less than 500 miles myself).  Reality has set in and I realize I may never have the time needed to do the work, so I'm selling and clearing the space in my driveway.  I'll do my best to represent the truck as accurately as possible, but please feel free to ask any questions.

  • 454 crate motor (non-EFI) that I was told was installed about 15 years ago.  There are approximately 20k miles on the motor and 136k on the chassis.
  • Front and rear ends were both rebuilt prior to me buying (~500 miles ago)
  • New rear driveline 500 miles ago
  • New Flowmaster two chamber mufflers 500 miles ago
  • 4" Rancho lift kit
  • 15x8 Mickey Thompson Classic II Locks (simulated bead lock) with 33x12.50x15 Pro Comp X-Terrain Tires.  These have less than 1500 miles on them
  • Double Wall Fiberglass Hardtop - hard to find
  • Front/Rear seats from 1992 Suburban (red)
  • Originally a CST and have the badges if you would like them
All original steel.  I've had no issues other than having to adjust the carb during the various seasons as temps cooled off and came back up. I've listed some of the things I believe may be difficult to gauge from the pics, but are important to note.
  • It needs paint.  It looks fine from farther away, but whoever painted this before me did so likely as a garage project.  It's a fairly weak job and there is no clear cloat or sealant (some paint comes off on towels after washing/driving).  
  • The a/c does not work and has not since the 454 was put in.  This can be made to work with an aftermarket bracket.
  • There is no carpet for the interior.  The previous owner looks to have herculined the interior and then painted it over with red (again, a sloppy paint job in my opinion, but is functional)
  • No passenger seatbelt
  • Some cracks in the hardtop near where the interior lights are usually placed (not installed).  If you'd like separate pics, let me know
Otherwise, the truck runs great and is a blast to drive.  I've tried to describe and show as accurately as possible, but please keep in mind this is a 41 year old vehicle and ask any questions you may have prior to bidding.  I think this is a great truck, whether as-is as a fun weekend car or potential base for a restoration or resto-mod.  Thanks for looking and happy bidding!  (Also, I have the truck for sale locally.  I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells).

Recharge Wrap-up: Detroit Electric teaser video, Nissan Leaf is Good Housekeeping "Tried and Tested"

Mon, Oct 20 2014

Detroit Electric has a new teaser video and has updated its brand in preparation of the introduction of the SP:01. The refreshed logo uses a blue and white color palette, and the company has also given its website a new look. The teaser video, which gives a sneak peek at the exterior of the SP:01, shows the car taking form in the midst of an electrical storm. Watch the video or learn more in the press release below. Abengoa is celebrating the grand opening of a commercial scale cellulosic ethanol plant in Hugoton, KS. When running at full scale, the refinery will produce up to 25 million gallons of ethanol a year. The plant will also generate enough electricity to power itself and put some back into the grid. Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz was on hand for the dedication, saying, "Every gallon of cellulosic ethanol produced and used to fuel our vehicles reduces the impact of harmful greenhouse gas emissions by greater than 60 percent as compared to conventional gasoline." Learn more at Energy.gov. Good Housekeeping has named the Nissan Leaf one of its "Tried and Tested" vehicles. The magazine called the Leaf SL its top "Roomy Electric" vehicle in its November issue. The magazine's research institute evaluated the EV based on track and road driving, ergonomics and convenience features. Good Housekeeping made note of the car's "impressive" range, but according to Nissan's Fred Diaz, "the real beauty of the Nissan Leaf is that it's roomy and, best of all, fun to drive." Read more in the press release below. Quasar Energy Group produces compressed natural gas from sewage and garbage. It uses things like grains leftover from brewing Budweiser, food waste from a baseball stadium and sewage sludge to produce the gas through anaerobic digestion. The compressed gas can then be used to power cars like Chevrolet's Bi-fuel Impala, which goes on sale later this year. Chevrolet likens the situation to the Delorean time machine in the Back To The Future movie series, which uses garbage to fuel its fusion generator.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:

Porsche wins the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, Jun 14 2015

The question going into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans was whether or not the Porsche 919 Hybrid would be able to combine its qualifying pace with race reliability. After battling neck-and-neck with Audi's R18 for most of the race, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only did Porsche drivers climb the first two spots on the podium, they did so without any major mishaps on track. This win is the first overall trophy for Porsche since 1998. Audi previously won the last five races, and 13 of the last 15. Corvette also returned to the winner's circle, with the No. 64 C7.R taking winning the GTE Pro division. The victory is the first class win for Corvette since 2011. KCMG won the LMP2 class in ninth overall. With 45 minutes to go the No. 98 Aston Martin crashed out of first place in GTE Amateur, giving the class win to SMP Racing's Ferrari and second place to the Patrick Dempsey Racing Porsche 911 RSR. For the full list of official results, click here. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. For most of the race, the battle at the top went back and forth between the two German manufacturers. An tire puncture in the No. 7 Audi gave up the lead to Porsche, and moments later a crash forced the No. 8 into the garage. But a three-minute replacement of the front and rear bodywork kept the Audi in contention. As the race wore into the night, Porsche maintained a slightly faster pace than Audi. Nick Tandy took the lead on Lap 253 early Sunday morning, and car No. 19 never gave up the top position. The win is the first for all three drivers of the No. 19 – Nico Hulkenberg, Earl Bamber, and Nick Tandy. A lap behind in second was the No. 17 Porsche. The Audis fought reliability problems late in the race but still finished third with the No. 7 R18. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. As the Aston Martin cars dropped away, the lone Corvette Racing entry took over, followed by a charging AF Corse team Ferrari 458 Italia. The Corvette and Ferrari continued to trade places in the final hours until gearbox trouble forced the No. 51 Ferrari out of contention. It was eventually passed by the other AF Corse car, No. 71. Nissan experienced all the pain of a first-year effort with its front-wheel-drive GT-R LM Nismo.
