This is a 1994 Chevrolet Blazer 2 door.  This was nearing the end of the full size K series Blazer before it was rebadged as the Tahoe.  This is one of the finest examples that you will probably see.  It has been meticulously maintained.  It currently has 111k miles on it and is hard loaded with nearly every option. This only had a drivers seat for a power seat option.  It has all power equipment and a tilt wheel.  From what I've been able to discover the truck was bought new her in Colorado.  The second owner purchased it 13 years ago.  It has been garaged and it definitely shows.  It also has the more desirable manual shift transfer case.  No electric motors to give out when you need it most. 

 

·         It has new paint which is a gorgeous black with a deep gunmetal metallic gray lower half. It was then clear coated and polished.  It is in incredible condition!  The paint shop then used 3M clear bra material to cover the lower rockers to protect it from rock chips which would normally show up in this area.  I just can't say enough about this paint job.  It's hard to get black to lay down this good. The door hinge pins and bushings were also replaced along with some other small pieces when it was in for the paint.  Total was $3300.00.

 

·         The engine was replaced about 30k ago.  A factory replacement 5.7 TBI fuel injected (350ci) GM crate engine was used to keep with the originality and more importantly, reliability.  It was done at a reputable shop in Denver and while there a tall K&N air filter took the place of the factory unit.  Previous owner stated it was a little over $3,000.00 for the replacement. 

 

·         Exhaust.  It was redone around the time the engine was replaced.   Starts at the factory manifolds.  No headers to leak and cause problems.  It now has a Magna flow exhaust and Hi-Flow cat which spilt into duals running out the back.  There are black chrome tips finishing it off which give it an incredible look.  The truck has a mild rumble to it.  It's not obnoxious, loud and droning when you're driving at highway speeds.  It's clean with a nice note.   I believe that was about $750.00.  It passes the strict Colorado A.I.R. emissions program with ease. 

 

·         Interior.  It is gray cloth which is in near perfect condition! The carpet is very nice for the age as it looks to have been running floor mats the majority of it's life.  Seats are as comfortable as if new and not worn out with broken down side bolsters, torn material, etc.  I've added a new, billet steering wheel and hub assembly for personal preference but the horn is not hooked up through this wheel.  The horn works with the factory wheel. I'm negotiable if the winning bidder wants just the factory wheel.  I'd like to keep the billet one.  Factory wheel is included with the sale price.  The stereo system is all factory and works perfectly.  It does have upgraded speakers and a hidden amp in the back as well as an Alpine CD changer under the drivers seat.  The head unit is contained in the overhead console.  The system looks OEM but the sound quality is greatly improved over the factory system.  It is as clean and solid as the truck it's in. The front two roll ups have a mid level degree of tint added to them that matches the rear glass. 

 

·         Tires and wheels were replaced with very nice polished  17" alloy rims wrapped in Remington LT275/70R 17 all terrain tires.  I would estimate that they have about  90-95% tread life left.  No weird wear patterns, etc.  The truck drives nice and straight and rides super smooth.   I believe they were $1700.00.

·         Drivetrain.  The truck was ordered with most options which included the factory tow package.  This gets you 3.73 gears and the posi-track.  Z-71 package as well.  All fluids, filters, gaskets etc were replaced and serviced when the engine was done.  That includes the trans (700R4), transfer cases and both front and rear differentials, etc.

 

·         I replaced the lights rather than cleaning up the factory ones.  They were starting to show their age with slight fading.  This detracted from overall condition of the truck.  They are all new to factory specs.  No Pep-boy specials with the "European look" or those other  weird designs.  I like the OEM, factory GM look.  The truck looks even better now.  The new owner will get all of the factory original lights that were removed.  Also, while I was up there I added a chrome billet bow tie to finish it off. 

 

·         I have a file folder of receipts for hoses, fuel pump, seals and gaskets and other little odds and ends which shows the truck has been very well cared for.  If there was an issue the owners fixed it.   

 

The detractors that I see are the elastic document holders on the visors are sagging which they all do in time.  I've pinned them up so they are presentable.  It has a small crack on one of the dash panel screws in the upper left side of the dash.  You can see it in one of the pics if you look close enough.  Minor but mentionable.  The windshield has some age appropriate pitting to it.  I was planning on replacing it if I keep it.  Near perfect clear glass is what I prefer.  This is still in decent shape but I'm just picky about the glass. 

 

I just can't say enough about the condition of this Blazer.  It handles, rides and runs extremely well.  It is a very comfortable truck.  It represents one of the cleanest examples of this series of Chevrolet trucks that you will find.  This is the example that others should be measured against.  It's a great two door Blazer with tons of life left in it.  Lifes unexpected changes forces the sale of many of the toys to include this one.   

 

I would strongly, strongly encourage that you have an independent inspection done prior to bidding on this truck.  I'm confident that the appraiser will agree that it has been kept in incredible condition and is ready to go another few decades down the road!   It has a clean Carfax which shows me as the third owner. 

 

ASK ALL QUESTIONS PROR TO PLACING A BID!  YOUR BID IS A BINDING CONTRACT.  AGAIN, I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE SERIOUS BUYERS TO SEND A REPUTABLE INSPECTOR TO LOOK AT THE TRUCK.  IT WILL HELP TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT YOU MAY HAVE WHEN PURCHASING A VEHICLE SIGHT UNSEEN.   

 

I will do what I can if you'd like to look at the truck in person but please be considerate and give plenty of advanced notice.  I have a busy work and personal schedule that I'll need to work around. 

SHIPPING:  Buyer will make all arrangements surrounding shipping of the vehicle.  I will do what I can on my end to work with the carrier of your choice but you are responsible for shipping arrangements and payment to the carrier. 

PAYMENT:  A non refundable deposit of $300.00 is due within 24 hours of auctions end.  Remaining payment is due within 7 calander days from auctions end date. 

 

The reserve is in place for reasons of fairness.  It is very reasonable considering what this truck is and its condition.  Again, send an independant, qualified inspector to look at the vehicle.  I'm sure they'll be impressed with its condition.

**********UPDATE:  Had a few of questions that I thought I'd address. 

I found the reciept for the GM engine along with some other docs that came with it. Thought I didn't have it but it was buried in the file. 

Yes, the K&N filter was ordered with the recharge kit and it will be included.  It also has a Chiltons manual that will go with it.   

Yes, the full size spare is excellent.  Still has the hairs on it and looks to be brand new.  It's a Goodyear Wrangler on the perfect factory silver steel wheel.  I don't see any signs that this wheel was ever put into service. 

Yes, I have two sets of keys for it.

No, to the best of my knowledge and all of the information I have on this truck it has never been smoked in. 

No, I don't take payments. The truck and all associated documents, title, etc. will be released once valid payment clears. 

Correct, the trucks been in Colorado since new. 

 

Any other questions just ask. 

 

Thx

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid

Wed, Feb 18 2015

Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.

Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes

Wed, 31 Oct 2012

It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.

Corvette Z06 and Viper TA square off at the strip

Wed, Jan 21 2015

There are many long-standing grudge matches among automobiles: 911 vs GT-R, Mustang vs Camaro, Ferrari vs Lamborghini... but as far as high-end American metal goes, it doesn't get much more legendary than Viper vs 'Vette. So after Chevy released the new Corvette Z06, we knew it was only a matter of time before it would have to square off against the Viper TA. And what better place to pit these two parallel pillars of American performance than on the drag strip? Fortunately that's just what we have here. In one corner, the 2014 Dodge Viper TA, with its 8.4-liter V10 pumping out 640 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque. In the other, the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06, the supercharger on its 6.2-liter V8 more than making up for the discrepancy in displacement and cylinder count to produce 650 hp and just as much torque. But numbers don't tell the whole story, so watch the video clip to see which reaches the end of the quarter-mile first.
