1988 Chevrolet K5 Blazer - All Original on 2040-cars
Haines, Oregon, United States
It was garaged for most of its existence as you'll see - no body rust, slight and NORMAL surface rust on muffler pipe and under in wheels but otherwise - great condition, and currently garaged. We live in Eastern Oregon, considered "high desert" so dry, dry climate. We also have a place in Stanislaus county, California so we can deliver. We'll be in that area so possible delivery - ask about those details. Our local mechanic could not believe how perfect and great shape the engine and all the working parts are, he said, they didn't even appeared worn at all. Original 350 engine, 114,00k original miles. We bought it with 105,368miles, took a trip to California and it drives smoother than my 2500HD Duramax!. Interior is all original, perfect condition. The air conditioner is the only thing that does not work. Heater is perfect, insta-hot, just like the old days. All original emblems. On the right side of the top, near the right side of the back window, there is some minor dent, probable running to something where the previous owners tried to bond - see detailed photo. Other that this there is just normal wear on this vehicle - no major dents! We just detailed it so it is pristine clean throughout. It has the original factory installed Cassette Player AM/FM Radio. Dash is original, perfect condition as it has been covered with the dash mat you see in the photos. Entire dash is in great shape, with original white paint, vents, knobs - all very nice. It is 4 wheel drive, with manual (aftermarket) Warn hubs, we have the original hubs if you want those. New tires with 8600mi on them - see photo showing the tread. While in detailing small spots of paint came off, so it may be an indication the hood was repainted at one point, not sure and previous owner did not know. A paint professional could tell you that - we just want to disclose all the information we know about. We added the grill guard, (another $900) due to the area we live in has lots of deer, so we wanted to protect the vehicle. We also added a second battery for extra starting power and we purchased but never installed the sliding back windows which we will include in this sale. Engine is clean, we can email you photos. Those of you enthusiast that know the value can appreciate, not only this rare model of vehicle in this condition but that all is original as you'll see these days - at this price. We wanted it, bought it, enjoyed it and now want to move on with our next project. Engine/ride is so smooth, quiet, truly a great vehicle. Call us with any questions. Mike 541-805-8886

GM might outsource vans to AM General
Thu, Nov 26 2015General Motors will possibly boost production of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon at the Wentzville Assembly Plant in Missouri by contracting out some commercial van manufacturing to AM General. Demand for the two midsize trucks continues to boom, and GM would like to take advantage of the strong market for them. The possible deal came to light in a letter to workers at the factory, according to Automotive News. "This potential partnership would free up production capacity and allow the organization to capitalize on our ability to build midsize trucks to further satisfy customer demand," a portion of the document allegedly said. AM General would reportedly only take over assembly of the cutaway versions of the Chevy Express and GMC Savana. Customers and critics have quickly embraced the latest Colorado and Canyon since their introduction. The Chevy just won back-to-back Motor Trend Truck of the Year awards. GM also had to add a third shift and extra workers in 2014 just to keep up with demand. The Wentzville plant even increased employment on the weekends earlier in 2015 to assemble an extra 2,000 of the trucks each month. While the two pickups boom, deliveries for the Chevy Express and GMC Savana are down 26.9 percent and 26.6 percent respectively through the first 10 months of the year. GM doesn't break out numbers for the cutaway versions, but they make up about a third of production, according to Automotive News. AM General built the Humvee for the US military and does some contract work with automakers. For example, the company's Indiana factory now produces the Mercedes-Benz R-Class for export to China. Here's hoping this potential deal will help both GM and AM General keep their factories humming. Related Video:
Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
GM cutting vehicle trim options to save money for electrification
Sun, Mar 1 2020Information continues to filter out about GM's plans based on comments the automaker made during its Capital Markets Day event in February. GM President Mark Reuss said the company's push to save money by rationalizing the number of build combinations will continue in 2020, carrying on the work done in 2019. As GM Authority covers, last year, the carmaker cut 3,500 components across model lines, a 12% drop in the number of parts it needed to stock in its plants. Reuss used the next-generation Chevolet Equinox and GMC Terrain as examples for more cost efficiencies, saying build possibilities — which include international markets and their options — will be cut by more than 50%, and use more shared parts. "We will reduce total trim levels on Equinox and Terrain from eight to six," Reuss said, "reduce engine variants from 11 to 5, reduce build combinations from more than 200 to less than 100 per program, and see significant cost savings of an already paid-for architecture that took the mass out, helping us self-fund electrification programs." GM will plow a large amount of the money it saves into its ambitious EV program. In 2017, the automaker said it intends to have 20 electric vehicles on the market by the end of 2023, some of which could be shared between brands. An automotive analyst at Seeking Alpha and a piece in Automobile attempted to put specifics to what we should expect. As Automobile points out, the first two EVs in the 20-car program are already on sale, being the Ariv Meld and Ariv Merge eBikes available in Belgium and The Netherlands. We've seen the Cruise Origin autonomous rideshare taxi, although we don't know when it will hit the road. The next three, which we should see in the metal shortly, are two Cadillac EVs and the GMC Hummer EV pickup. The Cadillac pair are expected to be sized like the XT4 and XT5, and along with the Hummer, should hit the market starting in late 2021.
