UP FOR SALE IS MY SON'S 1997 4 DR BLAZER. BOUGHT IN 1997 WITH 75,000 MILES, NOW READS 114,000....LESS THAN 8000 MILES PER YR. OVER THE YEARS HAVE REPLACED THE RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, ALL BALL JOINTS, TIE RODS,IDLER,PITMAN ARM,SWAY BAR LINKS, THOSE ROTTEN LEAKY OIL COOLER LINES SO FAMILIAR TO 4.3 OWNERS, FULL IGNITION TUNE UP,SHOCKS, FULL EXHAUST,SEVERAL O2 SENSORS, BELT TENSIONER. IN LAST 18 MONTHS HAVE CHANGED REAR BRAKE LINES,TPS,FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS. AVERAGE OIL CHANGE INTERVAL AROUND 4200 MILES. NO RUST, TRANS SOLID, MOTOR STRONG (WITH AN ASTERISK....SEE BELOW), NO SMOKE. ABOUT 20000 MILES ON TIRES. NEW BATTERY 6 MONTHS AGO, NEW STARTER 2 MONTHS AGO. CLASS 3 HITCH. I DRIVE IT AS IS TO KEEP THE FLUIDS MOVING AND THE BATTERY CHARGED. TOOK IT OUT TO PA. LAST MONTH WITH NO PROBLEMS (ABOUT 170 MILES). INTERIOR IS PRETTY GOOD FOR 16 YEARS OLD.....NON-SMOKER OWNED.
NOW FOR THE BAD STUFF...THE ASTERISK REFERS TO THE DREADED CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BLAZER OWNERS ALL KNOW AND LOVE. I GOT A PO CODE FOR A MISFIRE (CYLINDER 2, I THINK) AND FIGURED IT NEEDED IGNITION STUFF AGAIN A FEW MONTHS AGO. CHANGED WIRES, PLUGS, CAP, ROTOR, AND THREW IN A NEW COIL FOR THE HELL OF IT. RAN MUCH BETTER, BUT STILL HAS THE LIGHT AND A ROUGH IDLE/MISS. RUNS STRONG ON THE ROAD WITH NO DETECTABLE MISS, BUT LIGHT NEVER GOES OUT AND THE IDLE ALWAYS SUCKS. MECHANIC FRIEND SAYS IT IS MOST LIKELY A CLOGGED INJECTOR, BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE TIME OR PATIENCE FOR DEALING WITH THAT....MY SON GOT A NEWER RIDE AND I HAVE MY OWN 2 CARS TO WORK ON AND CURSE AT. INJECTORS ARE UNDER PLENUM AND REQUIRE REMOVAL OF INTAKE ASSEMBLY TO REPAIR. IF YOU'RE GONNA GO FOR THAT MUCH TROUBLE, YOU SHOULD CHANGE THE WHOLE SPIDER ASSEMBLY (AROUND$280) AND FORGET ABOUT IT FOR ANOTHER 100,000 MILES.
OTHER STUFF: THE STANDARD BLAZER & 4.3 IDIOSYNCRASIES - TICKY VALVES WHEN STARTED COLD (LIKE THAT SINCE WE BOUGHT IT), VACUUM CONTROL OR SWITCH FOR 4WD INTERMITTENT...TRANSFER CASE GOOD, 4WD RARELY USED BUT DOES WORK WHEN IT WANTS TO.....WISH THEY HAD LEFT THEM WITH MANUAL CONTROL LIKE THE OLD ONES...THEY ALWAYS WORKED RIGHT. REQUIRED CLUNKING FROM THOSE DAMN TORSION BARS....MOST OF THE REST OF THE FRONT END ONLY HAS ABOUT 25000 MILES ON IT. LOTS OF CENTER PLAY IN STEERING BOX...MIGHT BE ADJUSTABLE, NEVER TRIED.
SMALL PAINT BLISTERS AROUND FUEL FILLER DOOR (NO ACTUAL RUST), A FEW DINGS AND DANGS. 1 SMALL SEPARATION OF FABRIC ON DRIVER'S SEAT...SEE PIC
ALL IN ALL, WOULD MAKE A GOOD CHEAP WINTER STATION CAR, BEATER OR TOW MULE. GREAT FIRST TANK FOR A KID.....HEAVY, SLOW AND LOUSY ON GAS TO KEEP HIM OR HER FROM WANTING TO DRIVE TOO MUCH....FULL FRAME AND LOTS OF STEEL TO ABSORB IMPACT...ALONG WITH ABS AND AIR BAGS.
I'VE DONE THE BEST I COULD TO DESCRIBE THIS CAR ACCURATELY....PLEASE REMEMBER IT IS 16 YEARS OLD AND FAR FROM PERFECT....SALE IS "AS IS, WHERE IS"...PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO COME CHECK OUT THE CAR IF YOU ARE SERIOUS.....I DON'T WANT ANY AFTER SALE PROBLEMS
NO RESERVE....THIS CAR WILL SELL ! DON'T MISS OUT ON A GOOD BEATER....OVER $3000 IN PARTS CHANGED SINCE WE'VE OWNED IT....$600 SINCE LAST SUMMER....THATS PARTS ALONE...MY LABOR THROWN IN FOR FREE ! A LOT THERE TO WORK WITH AT A CHEAP PRICE !
P.S. - PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DON'T BID IF YOU ARE NOT READY TO BUY....IT IS NOT FAIR TO SERIOUS BUYERS.

Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
New Bright creating exclusive 1:8 scale radio-controlled C7 Corvette
Mon, 04 Feb 2013If you want a new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette but can't quite save up enough pennies for the monthly payment, we have good news for you. Toymaker New Bright has pulled the covers off of its 1:8 scale remote-controlled version of the American sports car. Complete with a very detailed interior and LED headlights, this large-scale R/C is as close as most of us will ever come to having one of the menacing Chevrolet models to call our very own. New Bright still hasn't released pricing or availability, but word has it the coupe should hit the market soon.
Right now, it appears as if the C7 will hit shelves in Torch Red, though we don't know if other colors are planned as well. The good news is that New Bright isn't exactly turning its back on the old C6 - representatives say the company will continue to make its popular C6R racecar for those who prefer round taillights.
Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]
Mon, 18 Mar 2013Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
