1973 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Gmc Jimmy Full Convertable 4x4 on 2040-cars
Patterson, California, United States
|
For sale is a 1973 GMC Jimmy Sierra full convertible 4x4. I purchased this vehicle 3 years ago from the owner who did the frame-off restoration 3 years prior. The restoration has approximately 7,000 miles on it between the original owner and the miles that I have driven it. This vehicle was restored to look original without the sluggish and restricted smog compliant motors of those years. This vehicle is now smog exempt. Since I did not rebuild it myself I do not know the specifics of what went into the motor. I do know that it was completely rebuilt from the top to the bottom and equipped with upgraded intake, carb, ignition, headers, cam, exhaust, and etc. Some of this can be seen in the pictures as well as the overall condition and cleanliness under the hood. The builder said he had the engine built up to 400 horsepower. I can not verify that but this engine does have some serious "get up and go" and runs strong and smooth as it should. It is paired to the rebuilt TH-350 automatic transmission with shift kit. It always runs cool with all new hoses and cooling system. The interior is near perfect. A new Alpine receiver was installed to use with smartphone, iPod, or mp3's and its connected to new JL Audio speakers that sound great. The vehicle has an alarm system and keyless entry. Although it has factory AC it does not blow cold. All controls and heater work great but the AC needs to be charged. The AC has not worked since I have owned the vehicle but I never charged it or investigated if the system had a leak since I have always used it with the top off anyway. The needle on the gear indicator also does not work. It indicates "P" all the time. Other than the two issues mentioned, everything else is in excellent condition and functions as it should. This vehicle is a 4x4 but it has never seen dirt. It has always been garaged and only used to cruise the streets on weekends with good weather. This vehicle runs and drives as new. It holds the road extremely well and brakes true. It has plenty of power and is perfectly reliable and comfortable to drive on any trip. When I bough it, it had aftermarket wheels so I bought some factory rally's and hubs and had them painted and polished to original spec. I put new Michelin tires on them and have not driven it 500 miles since. The builder also installed an extra seat in the back you can view in the pictures. I have described the vehicle the best I can and I hope the pictures describe it well too, but for any questions serious buyers may have they can call me at 209-605-5946 and I will try to answer. All in all this is a turn key truck that's ready for a new owner to drive and enjoy. Thanks $500 Deposit at close of auction for winning bidder. Cash, cashiers check, or wire transfer for remaining funds. Will help with shipping arrangements at buyers expense. Sold As Is. |

GM, UAW poaching Nissan workers in Tennessee
Tue, Sep 8 2015General Motors and the United Auto Workers are going on a recruitment drive at the Spring Hill factory in Tennessee, and they're hoping to poach some skilled workers from Nissan's nearby plant in Smyrna, TN. The General and the union even bought a billboard advertising for industrial electricians near the Japanese automaker's facility, according to the Daily News Journal. The reason for the billboard was simple. "GM was short of electricians," said Tim Stannard, the president of the UAW local at Spring Hill, to the Daily News Journal. The factory currently builds the Chevrolet Equinox but has a contract to assemble the next generation of Ecotec engines and the Cadillac XT5, which replaces the SRX. Thanks to the $185-million deal, employment there is expected to double by May 2016, according to Stannard, with roughly 1,800 additional union jobs. Beyond just several billboards, GM has job postings online for the Spring Hill plant looking for workers with specific skills. There has already been some interest in the positions among Nissan employees, Stannard indicated. According to a recent study by the Center for Automotive Research, the average GM worker currently makes $58 an hour, including benefits. Comparatively, Nissan pays an average of $42 an hour with benefits. The General's number could change in the coming weeks because its contract with the UAW is about to expire, and higher wages are among the major negotiating points.
Top Gear names BMW i8 Car of the Year, Corvette, Ferrari, Mercedes also win big
Fri, Dec 5 2014The lads at Top Gear have released their listing of the finest cars of the past year, handing the ultimate honor to BMW's revolutionary i8 plug-in-hybrid supercar. "The i8 is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers - and then some," the British mag wrote. The i8, though, was far from the only hybridized car to take victories. James May and Richard Hammond both highlighted hybrids as their personal cars of the year, with May saluting the Ferrari LaFerrari and the Hamster, unsurprisingly, heaping praise on the Porsche 918 Spyder. Jeremy Clarkson, meanwhile, opted to shock many by selecting not only an American car as his best of 2014, but giving the honor to of all things, a Corvette. Clarkson wasn't the only person to honor the USA's iconic sports car, with the new, 650-horsepower Z06 variant being named TG's Muscle Car of the Year. Other big winners include Mercedes-Benz, which TG honored for S-Class Coupe (Luxury Car of the Year), the new AMG GT (Sports Car of the Year) and the not-for-US C-Class Estate (Family Car of the Year). The 458 Italia Speciale A snagged a second win for Ferrari. The best of the rest include the Citroen C4 Cactus, Renault Twingo, Volkswagen Golf R, Lamborghini Huracan and Audi TT. Take a look below for the celebratory press blast from BMW. The BMW i8 wins Top Gear Car of the Year The BMW i8 has been named as Top Gear magazine's global Car of the Year 2014. The plug-in hybrid performance vehicle beat off some stiff competition from a host of other premium and luxury manufacturers to win the overall award. The editorial team of Top Gear commended the BMW i8 for its breadth of abilities. Its 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine combined with an electric motor gives searing acceleration and driver enjoyment but all wrapped in a package that takes BMW's EfficientDynamics philosophy to the extreme courtesy of CO2 emissions less than 49g/km and a 135mpg combined cycle figure. Charlie Turner, Editor in Chief at Top Gear magazine, said: "The BMW is a milestone in the annals of automotive history and a glorious statement for an exciting and positive future. The i8 delivers – and then some. It's the kind of car we should celebrate, a beautiful vision of the future, delivered now.
First privately owned Corvette Stingray blitzes 1/4 mile in 12.23 at 114.88 mph
Tue, 01 Oct 2013Chevrolet's latest road rocket, the Corvette Stingray, is a very quick car. If one needs further proof of that, we recommend they take a look at this video from Hennessey of what is claimed to be the first privately owned C7 Corvette to make a pass down the quarter mile. Not just any quarter mile, mind, this black C7 blitzed its way down the tuner's primary testing dragstrip. The Chevrolet ran the quarter in just 12.23 seconds at 114.88 miles per hour. That is a very quick time for a stock car.
Equipped with the Z51 package and a six-speed automatic transmission, not only does the C7 run a solid time, but it does so with little to no drama. That won't last though, as Hennessey will likely return it to its owner with far more power - we just hope they show a drag run of the completed product. Take a look below to watch the C7's 12.23-second run on video.
