 Up for auction is a very clean 90 K5 Blazer.  It is currently being used as an everyday driver.  All maintenance has been kept up and are all current.  It has the factory throttle body injected 5.7 350 engine.  700R4 4 speed automatic transmission.  Just did major tune up recently.  Including spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor.  Alternator and starter are new.  Battery is about a year old.  Coolant temp and MAP sensors are new.  Fresh 5W30 Mobil One synthetic oil change.  New transmission filter and fluid.  Still has the factory front and rear axles with the 3.73 gears and rear limited slip.  New air filter and fuel filter.  The AC still has the R12 freon and I had it repaired and recharged.  It will freeze you out.  Rear brakes, drums, hardware and wheel cylinders were replaced.  Front rotors and brake pads are new.  Tires have over 85 percent life left on them.  They are 33X12.50R15 Goodyear MT/R tires mounted on American Racing 15X10 black steel wheels.  Power steering gear box has a slow leak.  Suspension is also new with 4" Procomp lift.  Front spring was replaced with Procomp lift spring and rear is 4" iron block.  Steering are was replaced and body mounts were replaced with Energy Suspension bushings.  All shocks are new with the lift.  Has factory dual front shock set up.  Procomp factory replacement steering stablizer.  The road manner is excellent.  The Offroad capability is also surprisingly well.  Took it rock crawling up in Big Bear CA month ago and had no problems what so ever. 

The exterior was repainted in the factory red color because the original paints clear coat was coming off.  I had a body shop strip it down and respray it.  The top I had painted satin black because I think it looks better then the red.  The body is rust free and strait.  Even the doors line up perfectly and shut like new.  All the weather stripping was replaced after the paint work was done.  The windshield is also brand new.  The grille was showing its age so I had them paint it satin black.  I think it looks cleaner then the black and chrome.  The bumpers are still factory and have some dings here and there but look okay from 5 feet.  Was thinking about having them redone in satin black also.  I just had a class IV hitch installed with trailer brakes and 7 pin connector for towing. 

The interior is mostly original.  The carpet is brand new replacement.  the factory side panels in the rear were cardboard and the material was looking worn so I had new ones made and had it covered in faux suede. The doors also have the same material in the inserts.  It looks great and custom.  The headliner was replaced in the past.  It is still good.  All the trim is in good shape.  The dash pad is the only bad thing, it has a few cracks.  The radio is the factory installed tape player with the eq.  It still works, just use the tape adapter for my ipod.  I changed all the dash lights to smd led bulbs and it looks awsome at night.  Nice and bright, even a hid blue color.  The driver bottom seat it starting to tear, the other seats are good, I just had them cleaned.  The fuel guage doesn't work correctly, was told it needs a sending unit.  I might have it repaired before the end of auction.  All depending on time.  I just keep it full and watch the trip odo.


I'm not really wanting to sell it, but other priorities have come up.  I have put a lot of money into it and love driving it.  I don't want to sell it but life makes us do things we don't like anyway.  I have always wanted a K5 Blazer and now I have to sell it.  The reserve is a lot lower then most being sold.  If you have any questions about the truck please let me know.  I drove it to Salt Lake and back 3 months ago.  Got 15 mpg.

UAW rejects GM contract proposal but makes a counter offer

Tue, Oct 1 2019

The United Auto Workers union said a new comprehensive offer made by General Motors Co late Monday to end a two-week-old strike was not acceptable and said it had made a new counterproposal. UAW vice president Terry Dittes said in a letter to members "there are many important issues that remain unresolved." The union is awaiting GM's next proposal. He said GM's offer came up short on many issues.  Dittes said GM made a "comprehensive proposal" at 9:40 p.m. Monday. "This proposal that the company provided to us on day 15 of the strike did not satisfy your contract demands or needs. There were many areas that came up short like health care, wages, temporary employees, skilled trades and job security to name a few." Dittes is the union's vice president for GM relations and the UAW's lead negotiator in these contract talks. "We have responded today with a counterproposal and are awaiting GM's next proposal to the union," he wrote. "Regardless of what is publicized in print or social media, etc., there are still many important issues that remain unresolved." The strike, in its third week, has cost GM more than $1 billion, according to J.P. Morgan analyst Ryan Brickman. He said the cost per day in potential profit is $82 million. However, another analysis, by East Lansing-based consultant Anderson Economic Group, put the losses at $25 million a day. And the effects of the strike are expanding. GM said Tuesday the strike has created a parts shortage that forced the automaker to halt production at its pickup and transmission plants in Silao, Mexico, temporarily laying off 6,000 workers. Silao is where GM builds its highly profitable four-door crew cab Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. The strike has also forced GM to idle some Canadian workers, and many suppliers have been forced to halt operations. About 48,000 UAW members went on strike on Sept. 16 seeking higher pay, greater job security, a bigger share of the leading U.S. automaker’s profit and protection of their healthcare.

Porsche 911 tops a list of must-have classics, but No. 2 is more of a surprise

Wed, Aug 9 2023

No surprise here: In Europe, the Porsche 911 is the most sought-after classic car. Surprise here: Slip-streaming the 911 in the most sought-after chart compiled by the Car & Classic marketplace is the Ford Mustang. Using the Google search engine as a means to pick the winners, as well as the average prices achieved on the “Car and Classic” website, the venerable 911 was tagged 1.45 million times per month according to data stretching back 15 years. The number of 911Â’s sold though the C&C marketplace was 21,141, at an average price of 58,409 pounds, or $74,300. FordÂ’s pony car, still a popular choice for buyers in Europe, placed second on the list with 1.2 million monthly searches. The average sales price over 15 years was 31,107 pounds ($39,570), and the number of older Mustangs sold reached a total of 8,332. Models that also finished among the charted top 10 include the Land Rover Range Rover, the Corvette, the ultra-classic British favorite Jaguar E-Type and the BMW 3 Series. “Whilst a 1973 Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS could set you back the best part of GBP500,000 ($636,000), there are many more affordable models, which bring the average sale price of a 911 on Car & Classic to GBP58,000 ($73,800) – the third highest average selling price of any make and model on the site,” explained Dale Vinten of Car & Classic. According to the site, the Jaguar fetched the highest average selling price: a whopping 89,000 pounds, or $113,000. But thatÂ’s peanuts compared to a Series 1 Roadster in excellent condition, said Vinten. For that, “you can expect to spend up to GBP250,000 ($318,000), A Series 2 or 3 will cost less, as they are not as desirable, but in decent condition you can expect to pay around GBP40,000-GBP50,000. Even a barn find 1969 E-Type Series 2 Roadster can set you back to the tune of GBP33,000 ($42,000)." Launched in 2005, Car & Classic is among EuropeÂ’s most popular classic car clearinghouses. It also runs a stand-alone auction site.
