2002 Chevrolet Zr2 Blazer Original Owner 2700 Miles Like New Condition on 2040-cars
Sussex, New Jersey, United States
Purchased new by its current owner, this pristine ZR-2 Blazer has, over the past dozen years, accumulated only 2700 miles (yes, that"s right…2700). It is pristine inside and out and underneath; it is exactly as it was when it arrived at the selling dealer. Exercised regularly, this ZR-2 has never seen rain or snow and the sparkling factory Onyx Black paint shows the effects of frequent detailing and waxing; the Graphite cloth interior is spotless as well. During the “non-driving” time, the ZR-2 is, of course, garaged and has a battery tender on it at all times. It has a current state registration and its mechanical and emission inspections are up-to-date. The engine compartment is a virtual time capsule with everything just as clean as when the SUV rolled off the assembly line (right down to the original parts and service specifications decals and assembly line paint dabs). It runs as it did the day it was built, no surprise given its original plugs, hoses, ignition wires and air filter (the oil has been changed at regular time intervals and the battery has been replaced). The factory tires have nearly full tread life remaining as well as razor-sharp tread edges (remember, only 2700 miles) and the spare, also mounted on a styled aluminum wheel like the other four road wheels, has never touched the ground. This Blazer is heavily optioned, the list totaling nearly $7000: ZR-2 package (itself a $2000 option) which includes underbody protective skid plates, wide fiberglass fender flares that cover the 31” Goodrich on-off road tires and relocated suspension pick up points (and a wider rear axle) that increase the track of the Blazer Four-speed automatic overdrive transmission Locking rear differential “Autotrac” electronic four-wheel drive system that, when placed in the “auto” mode, delivers four-wheel drive performance and safety when slippery road conditions warrant (the Blazer can also be placed in full-time 2WD or full-time 4WD high/low ranges as well) Factory-installed power sunroof (with sliding sunshade) that can be fully opened, fully closed, tipped up for cockpit ventilation, or can be opened to any degree desired Externally-mounted spare tire (a mandatory option on all ZR-2 Blazers) Fog lights Delco “Theftlock” Stereo AM/FM/CD player Air conditioning Cruise control and tilt wheel Overhead console with map lights, outside temperature and compass display Center console Remote keyless entry Power windows and door locks Six-way power driver's seat Deep tinted rear windows Heated outside mirrors Rear window defroster and wiper Leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob This is a genuine factory ZR-2 Blazer and is not an aftermarket project truck. But just when it seems that it can"t get any better, it does: also included is a complete set of documentation which includes owner's manual, original window sticker, dealer order form, dealer search form, assembly line build sheet and a mint 2002 Blazer sales brochure. The outstanding condition of this time capsule ZR-2 coupled with an extensive factory option list and factory documentation adds up to a rare, super-desirable SUV…a true once in a lifetime find. Please note: winning the auction is NOT an invitation to look the vehicle over, and then decide you don’t want it. Winning the auction is a legally-binding contract to purchase the vehicle so any inspections MUST be completed before the auction ends. We will gladly accommodate inspection requests/visits but any expense must be borne by the (prospective) buyer/bidder. Please understand that this is a pristine, low-mileage ZR-2 that has never been driven in the rain or snow so any requests to inspect or test drive must take weather into consideration. Deposit of $2000 due within 24 hours of end of auction. Balance of funds must be in the possession of the seller within seven (7) days of the end of the auction. We will accept certified funds (check) or bank wire transfers. Blazer is for sale locally. We reserve the right to end the auction early.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]
Thu, 13 Dec 2012Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
LG Chem's troubled Chevy Volt battery plant hiring once again
Thu, Sep 25 2014The Michigan battery plant known for paying its workers to do nothing has turned things around and is now hiring more workers, specifically to do something. South Korea-based LG Chem, which runs the factory to supply the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in vehicle with its lithium-ion batteries, held a job fair recently to bring on 40 new employees in order to meet higher battery demand, according to WZZM, the ABC affiliate for Grand Rapids, MI. The LG Chem factory is in Holland, MI, about 30 miles west of Grand Rapids, and it made its first batteries last year. Prior to that, though, the factory gained notoriety after a US Department of Energy (DOE) probe found that workers there were getting paid to do, well, nothing. That's because demand for the battery packs was so low that it cost less for the plant to sit idle. The DOE was conducting the probe because of its financial grant to LG Chem. But that was then and today is today. LG Chem is looking to ramp up production in advance of the second-generation Volt. That 2016 model-year version is said to have a longer all-electric range and better performance and will ride on a new chassis, but few official details have surfaced. We will know more when we get our first look at the car at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
