1979 TWO TONE SOUTHERN K5 BLAZER

HIGHLY ORIGINAL

WELL MAINTAINED

THIS IS A FIRST TIME OFFERING A 1979 TWO TONE SOUTHERN K5 BLAZER. A real beauty! The odometer reads just 59,000 miles. It is a highly original truck and in better condition than most. The 350 engine is strong and it runs, drives, shifts and handles very well. It is top of the line, the Cheyenne model. It has new tires, Monroe shocks and real Flowmasters.

THIS 1979 K5 BLAZER EXTERIOR
In order for you to see how awesome this truck is running naked, I took the time to remove the top. You will find over 100 close up photos, many of them with the top off. Best described as Big. Bad. Bold. Beautiful. Even though its stance is highlighted, it is just as sharp with the top on.
The top itself is in good condition with all of the windows opening and closing properly. The back window operates properly. Also, it sits up nice and tall just like it should. The chrome bumpers are in great condition, as is the grill, headlights and tail lights are bright and shiny. The stainless steel bright work is in very good condition. All the seams are original, so are the rockers and cab corners. There are few scars, top to bottom. This is a quality vehicle. Please note: Not too often are you able to take photos of the underside of a 35-year-old vehicle without apology. There is no repair or rust here, never has been. It is completely solid and dry.

ENGINE
The engine and engine compartment are clean, tidy and detailed. Nothing is missing. The headers and the Flowmaster exhaust leave one in awe. The sound is powerful and sort of wicked, yet not too loud.....just a thunder rumble. There is no smoke, not even on start-up. It starts instantly and takes instant command. The front end, suspension and steering have no issues. It shifts quick and easy as the manufacturer intended.

INTERIOR
The entire interior is original and in very good condition. There is a nice fitting dash pad. This was a southern truck. All of the gauges are crystal clear. This is the Cheyenne model. Cheyennes have custom trim in camel, plus bright trim, color keyed carpeting, a color keyed console, full instrumentation and a custom steering wheel. Very sporty and so easy to look at. This is an air conditioned, tilt wheel truck adding to your comfort.
This is a solid investment. NADA states classic and/or vintage trucks are increasing in value quicker than any other vehicle. The Blazer is well priced. It is as shown. This is a 7 day auction ending on?
REMEMBER TO PLACE YOUR BID. This is a 7 day listing which will end WEDNESDAY, August 13 at 9 P M EDT!

UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant

Tue, 08 Apr 2014

The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."

First-edition Detroit muscle raises millions for charity at Barrett-Jackson

Mon, Jan 19 2015

Amidst all the classic metal crossing the auction block each year in Scottsdale, AZ, Detroit automakers have a tradition of donating the first examples of their most enticing new muscle cars, with the proceeds of their sales going towards worthwhile charities. This year, Barrett-Jackson handled three noteworthy examples. The highest price among them was the first Ford Shelby GT350R Mustang with the VIN #001, which raised $1 million for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. General Motors donated the first new Chevy Corvette Z06 Convertible, the first retail example of the droptop supercar garnering $800,000 for the United Way. Along with the Z06, GM also donated the first new 2016 Cadillac CTS-V sedan, which brought in $170,000 for Detroit's College for Creative Studies. Although these were the headline Motown muscle machines furnished by the automakers themselves, they weren't the only vehicles auctioned off for worthy causes. A 1950 GM Futurliner bus donated by collector Ron Pratte led the charge when it brought in $4.65 million for the Armed Forces Foundation. Other lots included a custom Jeep Wrangler donated by SEMA ($85k), a new M5 donated by BMW ($800k), a '79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Hurst ($140k), '39 Cadillac LaSalle C-Hawk ($410k), Jeff Gordon's 1999 NASCAR-spec Chevy Monte Carlo ($500k) and a Victory Cross Country 8-Ball motorcycle ($180k). All told, the charity lots raised over $8.7 million for local and national charities. BARRETT-JACKSON REACHES HISTORIC HIGHS FOR SALES, CROWDS AND CELEBRITY APPEARANCES IN SCOTTSDALE • Barrett-Jackson sold 1,611 vehicles, which went for more than $130 million (unaudited), smashing records in the company's 44-year history during the 10-day auction at WestWorld of Scottsdale Â• Automobilia sales nearly tripled world records, with 2,000 pieces selling for more than $6.55 million Â• Celebrity attendance and crowds, along with ratings on Discovery and Velocity, spike SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.

2016 Chevy Volt will have more EV range, bigger battery

Tue, Oct 28 2014

Meet the new Volt, not the same as the old Volt. That appears to be the story when General Motors introduces the 2016 Chevy Volt at the Detroit Auto Show in January. Today we're getting some more details on the guts of the new plug-in hybrid, and it turns out they're going to be much improved from the current Volt, which first went on sale at the end of 2010. Sure, the first-gen Volt did get some improvements along the way (a slightly larger battery pack, lane departure warnings) but the new Volt – which will go on sale in the second half of 2015 Â– marks the first time GM has been able to return to the drawing board and really make the improvements that its customers want. That's how Larry Nitz, GM's executive director of vehicle electrification explained it to AutoblogGreen today when explaining the all-new Voltec extended range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain. "In the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability." Â– Larry Nitz Nitz said that the new Volt will be better in almost every sense: a bigger battery, longer EV-only range, 20 percent better acceleration in the low speed range and higher overall efficiency. This is due, in part, to the Volt's two motors being able to both act as generators and power the car. As we noted this morning, the 2016 Volt will use a larger, 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, a version of which is already used in the Chinese-market Cruze. Nitz said that this has a number of benefits, including more power and quieter operation. "Some people would say, why did you make [the first-gen engine] so big. I would say, why did you make it so small?" he said. "It works good, our customers love it, but the reality is that if you go a little bit off and use the car a little harder, you can get the engine to need to operate at a higher speed. In an EV, that's quite noticeable. So, what we did in the Gen 2 is we gave the engine a little more power, a little more torque, a little more displacement, more capability and what it has marginally enabled is not only is it more efficient but it's also quieter." Nitz wouldn't talk about how the new powertrain might affect the two other products that use the Volt's underpinnings Â– the Cadillac ELR and the Opel Ampera Â– but if you've got a quieter option, we assume that's something ELR drivers would enjoy. But that's a story for another day.
