1973 Chevrolet Blazer K5 4x4 Very Clean And Straight Metal 105k Miles No Rust on 2040-cars
Laguna Beach, California, United States
THE PICTURES SHOWN WERE TAKEN PRIOR TO THE PURCHASE OF THE NEW TIRES AND LIFT. ALSO, THE INTERIOR PICTURES SHOW AN AFTER MARKET CONSOLE. IN APRIL 2014, I PURCHASED AN ORIGINAL CONSOLE WITH THE ORIGINAL CHEVY EMBLEM FOR THE CONSOLE. THIS CALIFORNIA NATIVE CHEVY CHEYENNE 4X4 BLAZER IS IN SUPER CONDITION AND IS SUPER ORIGINAL LOOKING. GOOD LUCK FINDING ANOTHER ONE IN THIS CONDITION. THIS BLAZER SPENT ITS LIFE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND WAS GARAGED. THE ORIGINAL OWNER KEPT THIS BLAZER UNTIL 2012. THE PREVIOUS SELLER STATED THIS BLAZER WAS ONLY USED AS A RECREATIONAL VEHICLE. THIS BLAZER IS LOADED WITH OPTIONS FROM THE FACTORY SUCH AS AIR CONDITION, CHEYENNE EQUIPPED, BODY SIDE MOLDINGS UPPER AND LOWER, SKID PLATES AND FUEL TANK SHIELD, HD FRONT STABILIZER, 30 GAL FUEL TANK, FRONT AND REAR CHROME BUMPERS, 350 V8 MOTOR, HD TURBO 350 HYDRA-MATIC, POSI REAR AXLE, OPTIONAL AXLE RATIO, POWER STEERING, FRONT POWER DISC BRAKES.
3. THE FELTS AND RUBBERS- The felts and rubbers are all in good condition and most all of them look new. 9. KNOWN ISSUES: Even after 41 years there are only a few minor issues to note. The air conditioning is not working at this time and I am not sure why. Living in Southern California, I never use the AC anyway so I have not had it fixed. The gas gauge is not accurate and the drive indicator needle is not operating -- both of which are totally common for the older Blazers. They are cheap, easy fixes though. The tranny and transfer case gadgets need replacing as I see immaterial drops of fluid leaking. Again, a cheap fix. The aftermarket cruise control is inoperative. I have not had it fixed because I would never use it. The original AM radio is intact but not working. I have the original rearview mirror but it is not installed. I wanted to replace it since the mirror is old and not longer very useful as would be expected after 41 years. 10. THE OVER ALL - I recently purchased this Blazer for weekend drives along the Pacific Coast Highway. A sudden medical issue in the family has caused me to list the Blazer for sale in order to raise money. I love this vehicle and hate to see it go. This Blazer is a super nice driver that was well taken care of and was not beat on or abused. I keep it garaged as well. This Blazer is ready to enjoy and is a blast to drive. Seriously, it's simply a fantastic looking Blazer. I get compliments almost every time I drive it. The front end is nice and tight and this blazer steers straight. The exhaust looks older and its in ok condition. AGAIN -- This Blazer is equipped with the NEW 3" lift springs and NEW 33" BFG All-terrains tires, NEW front drive shaft is on order and should arrive any time now. I also replaced both rear driveshaft U-joints. I have also purchased new ball joints and tie rod ends which I will throw in for free. This Blazer rides nice and the power steering is in good working order. The glass is not cracked or pitted and is in good original condition. The bottom side of this Blazer is not under coated therefore it is obvious it is not a rotted out mess. This is a dry Blazer that did not see much moisture when you look at the back side of the rear view mirror, the shifter, the blinker arms, the inner and outer door handles and the other bright work there is no pitting or rusting. The original option sticker on the inner fender well and is intact and legible. This Blazer gets attention every where it goes and it is a blast to drive. From the vintage Blazers for sale, I truly think you would be hard pressed to find many of them in this condition. I'm trying to get the original paper work, owner’s manual and protecto plate from a the previous seller who is supposedly working with an original owners family member. He says they it have it but I am not guarantying I will be able to provide it so please do not count on it. MY CONTACT INFO- 949-922-2023. My name is Jim and I prefer you call me with questions.

Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
GM pickup truck plant in Flint to add 1,000 assembly workers
Tue, Feb 5 2019FLINT, Mich. — General Motors said Tuesday it will add 1,000 workers to build new heavy-duty pickup trucks at its plant in Flint, Michigan, and will give priority to GM workers who were laid off elsewhere. The announcement comes the day after GM said it was starting to hand pink slips to about 4,000 salaried workers in the latest round of a restructuring announced in late November that will ultimately shrink its white-collar workforce in North America by 15 percent out of 54,000. GM has come under fire from U.S. President Donald Trump and Midwestern lawmakers for its plans to stop production at five North American factories and cut up to 15,000 jobs in all. The automaker has said it is trying to find new jobs for 1,500 U.S. hourly workers at the affected plants. Flint's truck plant could be a haven for many of these employees. Sales of heavy-duty pickups in the United States have grown to more than 600,000 vehicles a year, up more than 20 percent since 2013, according to industry data. Prices for luxury models can easily top $70,000. GM on Tuesday will celebrate the launch of a new generation of heavy-duty GMC and Chevrolet pickups at the assembly plant in Flint, Michigan, that is now building all such trucks for the company. Elsewhere in the company on Monday, two people briefed on the cuts in the white-collar salaried workforce said GM is cutting hundreds of jobs at its information technology centers in Texas, Georgia, Arizona and Michigan and more than 1,000 jobs at its Warren, Michigan Tech Center. GM is filing new required mass layoff notices with state agencies and disclosed the cuts to lawmakers. The largest U.S. automaker announced in November it would cut a total of about 15,000 jobs and end production at five North American plants. The cuts include eliminating about 8,000 salaried workers, or about 15 percent. GM cut about 1,500 contract workers in December and said 2,300 salaried workers accepted buyouts, officials said. "These actions are necessary to secure the future of the company, including preserving thousands of jobs in the U.S. and globally. We are taking action now while the overall economy and job market are strong, increasing the ability of impacted employees to continue to advance in their careers, should they choose to do so," GM spokesman Pat Morrissey said, adding the bulk of the cuts should be completed in the next two weeks. Morrissey said GM would provide salaried workers with severance packages and job placement services.
GM recalling 521,817 cars in two campaigns
Tue, May 12 2015General Motors is issuing two, separate recalls covering a total of 521,817 vehicles worldwide. The larger campaign covers 468,887 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu. Specifically, 437,045 of these are in the US, and the rest are outside the country. In these sedans, a steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate. GM knows of 36 claims about the problem but only one minor injury. According to The Detroit News, this happened when a taxi driver hit his head. To fix things, dealers will replace the "outboard lap mounting bracket," which will move the tensioner rearward. They'll also inspect and if necessary replace the steel cable and lap pretensioner. In the second campaign, 52,930 examples the 2015 Chevy Colorado and 2015 GMC Canyon have seat frame attachment hooks that were installed incorrectly during assembly. GM hasn't received any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities about this problem. Dealers will inspect the affected trucks and repair as necessary. GM spokesperson Alan Adler told Autoblog that he didn't yet have a specific date when affected owners would receive official mailings about either of these recalls. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 48,309 2015 model year Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickup trucks in the U.S. because certain seat frame attachment hooks were not properly attached to the vehicle body during assembly. Dealers will inspect the potentially affected seats for proper installation and repair if necessary. GM knows of no crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 52,930 including 4,620 vehicles sold in Canada. General Motors is recalling 437,045, 2011-2012 model year Chevrolet Malibus in the U.S. because the flexible steel cable that connects the safety belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of occupant movement in the seat. Dealers will replace the outboard lap mounting bracket to relocate the tensioner slightly rearward. Dealers will inspect the cable and, if necessary, replace the lap pretensioner. GM knows of 36 claims, no crashes or fatalities and one minor injury reportedly related to the condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 468,887 including Canada, Mexico and exports.
