 I bought this truck last year with the intention of turning it into a restomod with new running gear and updates, but the guy that builds my custom vehicles talked me out of using this Blazer because it is in such good condition, and very original.  It would have been a shame to cut it up.  In addition to being a factory A/C Blazer, it also has a rare working factory tachometer in the center of the gauge cluster.   We purchased a different Blazer for my project that is almost complete, and I now need to make room in the garage.  The previous owner had rebuilt the brakes, installed new 33" Toyo MT tires, partially installed a Painless Wiring Harness, had headers and new exhaust installed, and repainted the body.  There was no rust as this was an Arizona vehicle, and I have photos to document the integrity and straightness of the body before paint.  The underside of the tub was painted with POR15 to keep the body rust free.  A larger gas tank is installed that looks like a Hickey product to me.  Im not sure of the capacity. 

Since I cant help myself, even though I knew I wouldn't be keeping this Blazer, we went ahead and took care of anything that would affect the reliability of the truck, as well as cleaning up the cosmetics.  The wiring was completed, and we addressed the sloppiness in the steering.  The motor fires up right away everytime, and everything works great.  I wouldn't hesitate to drive this truck anywhere.  When I purchased this truck we filled the bed with extra parts, both original and aftermarket that will come with this Blazer. 

This Blazer is in great condition for a driver, but it nowhere near a show truck.  I will try to list every deficiency that I can in order to present this vehicle in the truest light possible. 

- The paint is pretty and shiny, but it is what can be referred to as a 10 foot paint job.  It looks great from 10 feet away, but any closer and you can see the deformities that are present including small rock chips, small scratches, and crazing where holes were filled in.  Perfect paint for a driver quality vehicle because it looks nice, but your eyes don't tear up if you get a scratch on it.

-The grille surround could use a polishing, and there is small dent in the lower corner.

-The front bumper is pushed up slightly on the passenger side.

-The A/C compressor and related parts were sold by the previous owner.

-New fuel filler doors were installed in the body before paint, but the filler neck has not been attached to the new door.

-The fuel gauge works but it is rotated slightly to the right, so the reading is not accurate.

-The only leak is the transfer case.  I have the gasket kit, but I never got around to installing it.

-The blazer comes with a double wall hard top in decent condition.  The hatch needs to be repaired where one hinge attaches, and the coating put on by the previous owner should be stripped and repainted.  All hardware is there and it would be an easy fix.

That is all I can come up with that needs attention, this really is a solid truck.  If I find anything else I will add to the listing.


A $500 non-refundable deposit via PayPal is required within 48 hours of winning the auction. The balance can be paid by PayPal or cashier’s check, and must be received within 7 days of winning the auction.

The seller will cooperate with the buyer or buyer’s agent or transport agent to make pickup and delivery of this Blazer as simple as possible, however, any costs associated with pickup and delivery are the responsibility of the buyer.


Thanks and happy bidding!

Before Chevrolet's Redline, there was the Saturn Red Line

Thu, Feb 9 2017

While Chevy rolls out Redline special editions across more of the lineup at this year's Chicago Auto Show, we've been eating some 'member berries and started thinking about the last time GM used the term. Back in 2004, Saturn rolled out Red Line (two words) editions of the Ion and Vue. The lineup was joined by the Sky Red Line in 2007, and the second-generation Vue kept the tradition going in 2008. This was in the heady days of the mid-2000s, before the financial crisis and GM's bankruptcy reorganization that saw the end of Saturn. The press release headline for the 2008 Sky is now cringe-worthy: "Hot-selling Sky helps drive Saturn product renaissance." Performance lineups were the hot new thing, as automakers attempted to cash in on the tuner trend popularized by The Fast and the Furious. Chevy had SS models, Pontiac had GXP, and Saturn had Red Line. Across the Detroit Metro area, Dodge had a slew of SRT models, and Ford's Special Vehicle Team brought us the SVT Lightning pickup, the SVT Focus, and a smattering of hopped-up Mustangs. The performance cred of Red Line models varied from car to car. The Ion Red Line shared the same engine as the original Chevy Cobalt SS, a 205-horsepower supercharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder, 65 hp more than stock. Car and Driver tested one with a 0-to-60-mph time of 6.1 seconds and said the Ion "tears down the wall that has separated enthusiasts from the Saturn brand for so long." The Vue Red Line, meanwhile, came with the same optional Honda-sourced 3.5-liter V6 you could get in the regular Vue, and added a stiffer, lower suspension, bigger wheels with more aggressive rubber, and recalibrated steering assist. When the Vue was redesigned for the 2008 model year, the Vue Red Line was a similar proposition. The engine was now from GM, and up 7 horsepower to 257, but you could get it in both Red Line and XE trim. Aside from the tire and suspension upgrades, Red Line models now came with a unique front fascia and rear exhaust cutouts. The most exciting Red Line, of course, was the high-performance version of the Sky roadster, which shared underpinnings with its Pontiac Solstice twin. This model came with GM's hot 2.0-liter Ecotec Turbo, good for 260 horsepower. The extra power was crucial in covering up the Sky's unfortunate manual gearbox ratios, which left the non-turbo model aching for torque in lower gears. As we all know, Saturn was taken by the grim reaper in 2009 after an attempt to sell the brand to the Penske Group.

Opel CEO talks new EV, will likely be fresh face for Chevy, too

Wed, Jul 23 2014

The rumored demise of the Opel Ampera has been confirmed, but there's good news, too. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann has been busy Tweeting information about the brand's next plug-in vehicle, admitting that the Ampera is on the way out but that plug-in vehicles are here to stay. His Tweets, in full, read: After the eventual run-out of the current generation Ampera, we'll introduce a successor product in the electric vehicle segment. Our next electric vehicle will be part of our massive product offensive – with 27 new vehicles in the 2014-2018 time frame. We see eMobility as important part of the mobility of tomorrow and we will continue to drive down costs & deliver affordability. As we learned earlier this week, the Ampera will not be refreshed when the current Chevy Volt is updated, most likely because of slow sales. Opel sold just 332 Amperas in the first five months of 2014. For now, General Motors is still building Amperas in Michigan for export to Europe. So, what might this new EV mean for the General Motors plug-in fleet? Official spokespeople are being quiet, but we think it's safe to say the new EV Neumann is talking about is not simply a rebadged Chevy Spark EV. This is the first official word about an entirely new EV, and we expect it will come to both the Chevrolet and Opel brands.
