1984 K5 Blazer 4X4. Professionally restored 2yrs ago. Originally built for off road use until RPM Restorations got there hands on it. Now it's a weekend driver that has been used a couple times, gently offroad. Just enough to prove to myself that it is able to perform the way it was intended.
It has a 7.4 liter/454 GM crate motor, a "Hot Cam" from GM Performance Parts, RPM intake, and a Holly 750 Carburetor. TH400 transmission, custom built, mild converter, aftermarket valvebody. Painless wiring harness. Custom built Dash with Autometer gauges.
NP205 transfer case, completely rebuilt, twin stick. Dana 60 front axle, 4.56 gears. Rebuilt Yukon locker. Heim joint crossover steering. Dana 70 rear axle, 4.56 gears, open, rebuilt. Anti wrap bar. H1 double beadlock wheels, 36"Goodyear OZ tires. Everything listed above is new or has been rebuilt 3700 miles ago.

The Blazer started off with a rust free body with the exception of the doors which were replaced with new ones. The hood had a dent so it was replaced as well. The front fenders were cut for wheel clearance.It has new door handles and latches. All the chrome is in excellent condition. It has a custom role cage tied to the body.
The top has been completely removed to give it the look of a 1974 blazer. It has a full soft top with sides that role up or the top can be completely removed.
The Original odometer shows 40k miles (I couldn't tell you for sure whether that reading is actual or not). The newly installed Autometer odometer shows 3700 miles which is acurate since the rebuild. 
It was built to drive, not as a trailer queen or show car although it did win the peoples choice award at the Turning Back Times car show in Sycamore, IL in 2013 (over 2000 vehicles in attendance). It appraised for $25k in August of 2013.
 All work on this truck was professionally done with no short cuts!

I HATE to see I go but I have 3 boys are keeping me plenty busy so I have no time to enjoy it. 

THE RESERVE IS SET VERY LOW. IF YOU BID BE PREPARED TO BUY! 

$1000.00 Deposit required within 24hrs of sale ending unless prior arrangements are made.
Full payment due no later than 7 days of auction ending.

GM recalling over 40,000 Chevy, Pontiac and Saturn models over fuel pump woes

Mon, 01 Oct 2012

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued a recall for a number of General Motors cars and crossovers bought or currently registered in the hot-climate states of Arkansas, Arizona, California, Nevada, Oklahoma and Texas. As many as 40,859 units consisting of the 2007 Chevrolet Equinox, Pontiac Torrent and Saturn Ion and the 2007-2009 Chevrolet Cobalt (shown) and its Pontiac G5 twin are being recalled for potential fuel leaks.
This recall is being issued due to potentially faulty fuel pump components that can crack and cause gasoline to leak from the return or supply ports and possibly cause a fire. NHTSA has not indicated how many fuel leaks or vehicle fires have been reported. As a fix, GM will replace the fuel pump modules on all affected vehicles free of charge. Since Pontiac and Saturn have been shuttered, owners will be able to go to another GM-brand dealership to have their vehicles repaired.
While the list of affected cars and crossovers varies by state and model year, if you own any of these models and live in Arizona, California, Florida, Nevada, Oklahoma or Texas, be sure to check the official notice below for more details.

GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric

Wed, Feb 15 2017

General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
