1973 Chevy Blazer K/5 Baja Veteran Norra Cadillac Powered on 2040-cars
Saratoga, California, United States

Heres a rare opportunity at a Blazer with some really cool history. This 1973 Blazer K5 was built and prepped by R C Laton, a rally and off-road driver of some fame up in these parts. Over the years he's piloted and built some awesome machinery and this is just one example. He prepped this '73 K5 Blazer for the Baja 1000 in 1987, and raced it in a type of sportsman stock 4x4 class. Only it wasn't stock! And isn't...it's powered by a 500 cu in Cadillac motor with a custom cam. In addition to 1-ton springs all around, the Blazer has fulltime 4x4 and a huge Hickey Enterprises gas tank, hitch, tool boxes, spare parts storage, navigator console, gauges, and switches with lighted indicators as part of it's Baja prep . It also has a neatly-mounted Warn winch, CIBIE headlights and CIBIE Super Oscar off-road lights and extra shocks. Still inside are the Survey Speedometer, Baja roller map, and decals from various Baja events. It is largely untouched since the 87 race. Over the years R C started it up periodically, but it stayed parked in Santa Clara, CA by the building where he keeps his shop. So for 16 or more years it's been sitting, but the occaisional start up has been good for it , because last week, with a fresh battery it cranked over and started and ran. It lot drives, shifts, steers, and stops on it's own. The title is a clear ID title signed off by Laton, registration is still current til May in Idaho. It's not the kind of truck you can drive home as-is, but it runs well enough to go on a trailer or transport and is generally in working condition for a test drive. Being that it sat so long it has some floor rust and the carpet is shot, and overall it could use a good cleaning. See the pictures, and ask for more if you need to see something we missed. Check out the old pictures from the race. This is pretty cool history for an old Blazer! And whats more = it's a nice Cheyenne package K5 in a desireable color!! Fix it up and do NORRA in a comfortable truck WITH BAJA HISTORY you don't need to tow down there! The Blazer is in Morgan Hill, CA at this time and available for viewing. Call 408 515 5615 with any questions or if you'd like to come see it.

General Motors Recall List
Wed, Oct 22 2014It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. It seems General Motors can't go more than a few weeks without issuing a major recall. Since the initial ignition lock recall on February 10, over 25 million vehicles have been recalled for defects. We used the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration recall list to compile a snapshot of all the GM vehicles recalled in the last two months. NHTSA also provides a search engine that allows owners to search for recalls on their vehicle. An automotive company must do everything in their power to notify its customers when a recall is issued on a vehicle. If you own any of the following vehicles and you have questions regarding your car, you can contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546, GMC at 1-866-996-9463, Buick at 1-800-521-7300 and Cadillac at 1-866-982-2339. Or check out General Motor's recall site. Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or go to www.safercar.gov. Here's a brief summery of the other vehicles currently under recall: July 26 – 414,333 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V447000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal and Chevrolet Camaro, as well as certain 2010-2012 Cadillac SRX, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain vehicles, equipped with power height adjustable driver and passenger seats. Problem: In the affected vehicles, the bolt that secures the driver's and passenger's power front seat height adjuster may fall out causing the seat to drop suddenly to the lowest vertical position. Consequence: If the driver's seat unexpectedly drops, the distraction and altered seat position may affect the drivers' control of the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash. Solution: Dealers will replace the height adjuster shoulder bolts, free of charge. July 14 – 16,939 cars affected NHTSA Campaign Number: 14V341000 Models under recall: Certain model year 2011 Cadillac CTS vehicles manufactured October 18, 2010, to June 2, 2011. Problem: In the affected vehicles, vibrations from the drive shaft may cause the vehicle's roll over sensor to command the roof rail air bags to deploy. Consequence: If the roof rail air bags deploy unexpectedly, there is an increased risk of crash and injury to the occupants.

The Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
After a bright-yellow false start, here is the real thing: the fourth-generation, 2015 Corvette Z06. If Chevrolet makes a ZR1 version of the C7 Corvette, it's going to be absolutely mega, because the Z06 is just about everything we got in the last ZR1, but better.
