Chenoa, Illinois, United States

Up for bid is my 1973 Chevy K5 Blazer 4x4.  It has the original 350 in it and a turbo 350 trans.  It has an awesome sounding exhaust with long tube headers that was custom made for this truck.  I removed the old points ignition system and installed a new MSD HEI distributor.  I installed a 4'' rough country suspension lift and new 35'' Cooper Discoverer STT tires.  Before I bought it, the transmission was rebuilt along with the carb.  The front drive shaft was removed when I got the truck and since I have never needed the four wheel drive I never put one in it.  I will include one with the sale to go in it.  Somewhere along the road the a/c was removed, the brackets and wiring are all still there just no compressor or lines. The interior has been completely redone with new carpet, reupholstered seats, and sound mat installed underneath the carpet. This is a very original truck with only one repaint.  It's hard for me to explain how solid this truck is.  Everything on the bottom side is still painted black with no rust what so ever.  I tried to show in one picture a few small pin holes in the bottom of the passenger fender.  The drivers side fender is dented on the bottom from a tire blowing out.  The paint job is fair, Its by no means a show paint job, but its really shiny and still looks good.  It has dents here and there nothing major or out of the ordinary for a 73.  When rolling up the back window you must be careful because it likes to come off the track.  The seals on the top could be replaced but I didn't worry about it cause I didn't drive it much with the top on it.  The engine has never been removed to my knowledge.  It runs AWESOME I would not be afraid to take it anywhere. It was bought new and spent most of its life in Tuscon, Arizona.  It is rock solid!!  To my knowledge I am only the fourth owner of this truck.  I purchased it from a guy in Chicago fall of 2011, he bought if from the second owner in Arizona and had it shipped to Chicago.  The guy I bought it from never even had the top on it.  It has seen no rain since he bought it.  I looked long and hard before I found this one.  They only made this style K5 blazer with the full removable top 73,74, and 75.  If you have any questions at all or would like to come see it please call 815-867-0116.

Next Chevy Volt will be 2016 model and ride on new chassis

Fri, Mar 7 2014

What do we know about the 2016 Chevy Volt? Well, for now, all we can do is try to put the puzzle together without the box. Thankfully, a new batch of pieces has arrived from a new report in Edmunds, which says that the 2016 model year will introduce the second generation of a car that hasn't been dramatically updated since it went on sale in 2010. The new Volt is getting an "evolutionary styling change" and will ride on a new front-drive platform that has been developed by General Motors. GM's Kevin Kelly told AutoblogGreen that he has "no comment on future products," but he did acknowledge that Chevrolet is working on a second-generation Volt, "but I can't say anything about timing." Everybody already knew that a next-gen Volt is coming, so that's not a surprise. What we don't know is any real concrete information on the car itself. The few tidbits of information we do have help define the outlines of the next version of Chevy's halo car, but they're not confirmed yet. For the record, they range from the eye-raising (a $10,000 price drop) to the logical (20 percent more electric range). We can't see the whole picture yet, but the pieces do point to the 2016 Volt, which would be released next year sometime, being a much bigger deal than the last update, when the Volt's range was increased by three electric miles thanks to a battery capacity increase of 16 kWh to 16.5.

General Motors Recalls Nearly 780,000 Cars To Fix Deadly Problem

Thu, Feb 13 2014

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.
