1972 Chevy K5 Blazer - Backyard Find!

I have for sale a 1972 K5 Blazer that I just found in a back yard in San Diego… It was sitting there since 2006. It has most of the original parts that match the Glove box tag and VIN. The K5 is original Olive Green “CST” with correct motor and undercarriage.  It does have a lift of approx. 4.5 “and retains the original Rally Wheels and Olive green interior.  As you can see from the pictures the truck was stored outside in San Diego weather it did not hurt it much. There is a rust area above the gas cap and that is about the only area that I see. The rockers are solid as well as the fenders and A pillars, no rust in the bed behind the wheels.  The suspension has a 4” lift and double shock front as well as double shock steering set up. The back window glass and hatch latch assembly is missing. I took pictures of the undercarriage and all looks to have been restored at some time due to no grease / grime on any of the parts. The engine bay is missing the Air Cond system and the distributor wiring loom has been spliced so I think a ignition wiring harness would need to be replaced… all other wires are connected and in the right locations.  I got the engine running using a separate gasoline source and a 750 Holley I had laying around (the Edelbrock carb was not functioning) … so it does run (see video link).  I put into gear and she went right into reverse and drive no problem, and the front axle hubs turned effortlessly. Truck is being sold “As Is” where is… These trucks are starting to go up in price.... why not start with one that doesn't need 5K worth of work to be nice.... just your laboe to clean up!  Pls check out all the pictures and email with any questions. I have the pink slip in hand. I have the tires aired up, and can help with transportation coordination, pictures etc.

2014 Chevrolet Impala [w/video]

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video
