Survivor 1970 K5 Blazer 4x4 LS3/6L80E Twin turbo Flex fuel equipped

Body:the body on the truck is 90% ORIGINAL paint and 98% rust free.It has several dents and dings and shows its age accordingly.Most of the trim is dented up as well as are the chrome bumpers.To my knowledge the only body panel that is not original to the truck is the tail gate,but it has been painted and aged to match the truck almost perfectly.

interior:Aside from the New Vintage gauge cluster,steering wheel from a 1992 GMC typhoon and a brand new Auto Custom Interiors rubber floor mat, the interior is 100% stock and in very good condition for its age.The passenger front seat has one small pin hole at the very front where you're legs would rest that is virtually un-noticable.The drivers seat as welll and the rear seat and all seat belts are very nice.
 
Chassis:The frame is all original to the truck and 100% rust free.The front and rear differentials are original as well  still retains lock out hubs that work perfectly,however,the front diff has been equipped with later model disk brakes,cross over steering and steering stabilizer all from a donor 1978 truck.Both front hubs have all new wheel bearings,seals,u-joints and ball joints.The rear diff retains the stock drum brakes but those too have been completely rebuilt/replaced.Its rolling on 15x10 factory GM rally wheels and bran new Mickey Thompson 31x10.5x15 tires

Drive train:Late model engine and trans swap,40k mile LS3,and a 10K mile GM warrantied 6L80E auto transmission.The motor has been treated to a GM ZR1 camshaft,and PRC .675 lift dual spring valve springs,Holley High Ram intake manifold,welded smoothed and painted factory GM valve covers and a coil relocation kit.The radiator has been replaced with a new aluminum unit that supports the dual 4th generation Camaro fan assembly.The engine and trans perform flawlessly as they should and feed into a rebuilt NP208 transfer case which turns brand new front and rear drive shafts

Turbo System:Twin Turbo System consists of 2 GM factory 2012 Camaro exhaust manifolds that have been welded and fitted with the correct flanges to bolt 2 GM Grand National turbos,which feed a Precision Turbo front mount air to air inter-cooler which then feed the C6 Z06 90mm throttle body to the intake manifold.All producing a very conservative and reliable 8 PSI of boost

The truck is running on a factory 2007 Corvette computer with speed density tuning,and has been wired for a factory appearing and functioning Flex fuel system.Which means that there are absolutely no adjustments or changes needed to pump in either gasoline or E85 directly into the fuel tank.

Odds and Ends: the fuel system consists of a 1992 Ford Bronco II gas tank that has been modified with a rear sump to feed the 2 walboro 255 fuel pumps and factory Grand National fuel filters before being wye'd together and feeding a set of Holley billet fuel rails.The motor was mounted using a Dirty Dingo replacement front cross member.while the trans was mounted using a slightly modified factory cross member.

The exhaust system is 100% stainless steel dual 2.5" down pipes feeds into an SLP stainless 2 into 1, 3.5" tail pipe that exits on the drivers side and is probably quieter than the stock system this truck came with.

The truck was built and tuned by Speed Incorporated out of Schaumburg IL,it made 491 rear wheel horse power on 93 octane and 525 rear wheel horsepower on E85.I bnuilt the truck to do it all,light off roading mostly at the Silver Lake dune are in MI,the occasional drag race but most of all to be a fun daily driver that I can hook my boat to an throw my dirt bikes in and just have fun.The truck is an absolute blast to drive and unless you are at wide open throttle or nearly it drives like a stock vehicle.I would not hesitate for one minute over driving this from coast to coast.

I am the 3rd owner it spent all its life on the western sea board and that is the reason there is no rust on it.I spent the better part of last summer trying to find a truck that was a rust free as this one,and the payoff is here.I have quit a bit of original documentation from the previous owners that can trace it back to when it was new,or nearly new.

more pics of the engine and entire turbo build can be seen at my photobucket account danimal95 is my account name the Blazer pics are on pages 4-6

recently installed center console and original 4 wheel drive selector lever that are not in the pictures

I will not take low ball offers,by no means do I have to sell it an truthfully I'm not even sure I want to.

Has less that 500 miles on current engine/transmission combination

Here are the best-selling cars and trucks from January 2015

Fri, Feb 6 2015

Every month, Autoblog slogs through all the sales figures reported by automakers that do business in the United States, and, after a little bit of sorting, we put it into an easy-to-read chart in an attempt to make it as easy as possible to follow the ins and outs of sales and shipments. But that only covers the brands themselves, not the individual models they sell. And we think you'd all be interested in knowing which vehicles beat their rivals in sales from month to month, so we've put together this handy gallery to keep you in the know. While the leader of the pack may not come as much of a surprise, the order that the top ten finishes in changes frequently – due to automaker deals, the price of gas, etc. – and we've included some statistics to help you see how their current performance stacks up to month's past.

Three automotive tech trends to watch in 2018 and beyond

Thu, Dec 28 2017

Every year, technology plays a bigger and bigger role in the auto industry. To put things in perspective, 10 years ago iPod integration and Bluetooth were cutting-edge in-car innovations, and smartphones and apps weren't yet a thing since the first iPhone was only about six months old. And I can't recall anyone talking about autonomous cars. Compare that to today, with mainstream coverage of the auto industry dominated by autonomous technology, along with electrification and almost every move made by Tesla. These three topics were the most significant trends of car tech in 2017 and I believe they will continue to shape the auto industry in 2018 and beyond. Let's examine them. Full Autonomy Gets Closer to Reality While there were many developments this year that indicate we're inching closer to fully autonomous vehicles, I was behind the wheel for hours to witness one of them. In October I had the chance to test Cadillac Super Cruise on a 700-mile, 11-hour drive from Dallas to Santa Fe – and had my hands on the wheel for maybe 45 minutes max throughout the entire trip. Super Cruise is far from making the Cadillac CT6 or any GM vehicle fully autonomous, and has limitations such as functioning only on pre-mapped main highways. While it simply adds a layer of lane centering to adaptive cruise control, the technology will go a long way in making mainstream drivers more comfortable with letting machines take over. On a separate front, GM is pushing ahead with fully autonomous vehicles and announced last month that it plans to launch of fleets of self-driving robo-taxis in several urban areas in 2019. While most automakers are also in the race to make autonomous cars a reality, GM's turbocharging of its efforts appeared to be in response to Waymo, which announced just weeks earlier that its Early Rider Program in the Phoenix area would go completely driverless. The Early Rider Program launched last April, offering the public a chance to ride in Waymo's autonomous Chrysler Pacifica minivans. In this new phase of testing, Waymo is using its own employees as guinea pigs instead of the public while the vehicles operate without a human behind the wheel, and takes another giant step forward for fully autonomous driving.

Sabine Schmitz to compete in WTCC race at Nurburgring, hopes for rain

Fri, Apr 10 2015

The World Touring Car Championship is set to return to the Nurburgring this year after a 30-year absence. Who better, then, to lead the pack than Sabine Schmitz? One of the most skilled drivers around the Norschleife, 45-year-old Schmitz has been known to compete in the VLN series and in the 24-hour race at the Nurburgring (which she's won twice), and regularly drives tourists on hot laps around the Green Hell. Nobody can drive the circuit better than Schmitz when the rain starts to fall, and fall it often does in the German spring, but she'll have a new challenge on her hands when she makes her WTCC debut in a Chevy Cruze for the Munnich Motorsport team for the German round next month. It'll be interesting to see how Sabine does in the race, given that she has no experience with the vehicle she'll be driving, but has immense knowledge of the notoriously difficult track. She'll have the chance to acclimate a little during the WTCC test session at the 'Ring later this month, and hopes to compete in one of the two races – in Morocco or Hungary – before tackling her home track in unfamiliar machinery.
