1971 2wd Chevrolet Blazer Cst on 2040-cars
Middle Grove, New York, United States
Bought this ol' girl to cruise around and fix up a little over summer and now I am 70% sure I
have to sell it to cover some school and vet expenses. No I haven't had it very long, and no I haven't done a whole lot aside from clean it up and make it more road worthy.
Originally a 350/350 truck. It was passed around between a father, a son and their best friend for about 25 years before I bought it. Painted in 1995, top was smoothed and painted with it. It now has a stock rebuilt 454 with a Turbo 400 automatic. Lowered with dropped a-arms and dropped coils front and dropped coils again out back, 3" front/4" rear. Black interior with CD player and a Lokar shifter with an LED shift indicator. Paint is really nice for being 19 years old, but has some small chips here or there. Top is in great condition, with tinted glass but unfortunately the rear hatch needs the hardware to lock it as well as the lever arms to lift it and keep it elevated. It has power brakes and power steering. Originally a CST truck, it still has the original build sheet and has 93k original miles. All hoses and belts have been replaced within the last 200 miles or so, the engine/transmission was serviced, the rear end was serviced, a new battery installed, new rear 4" drop coils, new Lokar floor shifter with the fancy LED shift Indicator system, stock rear seat armrests installed, new stock mirrors, a few misc lights replaced, new sill plates installed and some other small knick knacks. This blazer is a great cruiser that constantly turns heads and receives waves of compliments and thumbs up. The bad: Rear hatch requires hardware to lift and lock the hatch; There is a small amount of bubbling in the bottom of the doors that has remained the same for the last 10 years or so....you can see it in the pictures. What does she need? Really in order to drive and enjoy it...nothing. The blazer is by no means perfect, it is not a show vehicle. It'll need some more TLC, maybe someone to go through and replace all the bolts with a new ARP bolt kit, ensure every bolt and screw hole has a new fastener in it....small stuff here or there. Feel free to ask questions and no I do not need help selling it. Don't ask what my lowest price is, if you'd like to negotiate I have no problem doing that when you show up with cash in front of my face. And no I will not do trades.....I am looking to cover expenses so I am not in the boat to trade a $18k car and $4k cash for this. Thank you for understanding. 518-867-6550 Blazer is sold as is, where is and as seen in the pictures which were taken 7/14/14. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements and I will be as flexible as humanly possible. |

Seventies super-salesman challenges new car-sales record
Wed, Feb 21 2018Some of the fondest memories from my youth were the Sunday afternoons spent walking between rows of new and used cars. This preceded the advent of widely available internet, so the cars didn't sell themselves online: A tentative buyer had to come see the cars in the metal, with old-school salesmen taking well-earned smoke breaks after putting someone behind the wheel of a new Saab 900. All-inclusive subscription services were unheard of. If you open a Guinness records book and look up car salesmen, you'll find Joe Girard. The definitely old-school Detroit salesman regularly sold over 1,000 new cars per year, with a particular high point of 1,425 cars in 1973 guaranteeing him a mention in the Guinness book. To reach that kind of sales figure, you had to be a pretty special salesman, and Girard was. He didn't take breaks unless absolutely necessary, and even his lunch hours were dedicated to selling more cars instead of shooting the breeze with other sales persons. By 1977 he was worn through, having sold over 13,000 cars in his career, and his physique couldn't take it anymore. He's been a motivational speaker since. Now, 44 years later, a Dearborn, Mich., Cadillac and Chevrolet salesman named Ali Reda has reportedly broken Girard's record. The books at Les Stanford Chevrolet Cadillac say Reda sold 1,530 new cars and 52 used cars in 2017, averaging 130 vehicles per month. But after Girard, 89, heard of the sales record, he called his attorney, not letting his record be broken without a fight — or at least an audit. The Dearborn dealer isn't too concerned about Girard's doubts, at least according to Gary Stanford, whose father founded the dealership. "It's very official, trust me," said Stanford to the Detroit Free Press. "Ali is the hardest worker I've ever seen. And if someone doesn't believe the data, well, they're more than welcome to consult with GM. It's all there in black and white." What Girard doesn't get is that Reda was honoring him with the accomplishment. "I read his book, 'How to Sell Anything to Anybody,' and it said it would teach you how to become the best," said Reda, who at age 44 was a newborn when Girard hit his peak. "He's an absolute legend in the industry. Your whole career, you're chasing his name.
Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere
Tue, 26 Feb 2013Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.
Bring back the Bronco! Trademarks we hope are actually (someday) future car names
Tue, Mar 17 2015Trademark filings are the tea leaves of the auto industry. Read them carefully – and interpret them correctly – and you might be previewing an automaker's future product plans. Yes, they're routinely filed to maintain the rights to an iconic name. And sometimes they're only for toys and clothing. But not always. Sometimes, the truth is right in front of us. The trademark is required because a company actually wants to use the name on a new car. With that in mind, here's a list of intriguing trademark filings we want to see go from paperwork to production reality. Trademark: Bronco Company: Ford Previous Use: The Bronco was a long-running SUV that lived from 1966-1996. It's one of America's original SUVs and was responsible for the increased popularity of the segment. Still, it's best known as O.J. Simpson's would-be getaway car. We think: The Bronco was an icon. Everyone seems to want a Wrangler-fighter – Ford used to have a good one. Enough time has passed that the O.J. police chase isn't the immediate image conjured by the Bronco anymore. Even if we're doing a wish list in no particular order, the Bronco still finds its way to the top. For now (unfortunately), it's just federal paperwork. Rumors on this one can get especially heated. The official word from a Ford spokesman is: "Companies renew trademark filings to maintain ownership and control of the mark, even if it is not currently used. Ford values the iconic Bronco name and history." Trademarks: Aviator, AV8R Company: Ford Previous Use: The Aviator was one of the shortest-run Lincolns ever, lasting for the 2003-2005 model years. It never found the sales success of the Ford Explorer, with which it shared a platform. We Think: The Aviator name no longer fits with Lincoln's naming nomenclature. Too bad, it's better than any other name Lincoln currently uses, save for its former big brother, the Navigator. Perhaps we're barking up the wrong tree, though. Ford has made several customized, aviation themed-Mustangs in the past, including one called the Mustang AV8R in 2008, which had cues from the US Air Force's F-22 Raptor fighter jet. It sold for $500,000 at auction, and the glass roof – which is reminiscent of a fighter jet cockpit – helped Ford popularize the feature. Trademark: EcoBeast Company: Ford Previous Use: None by major carmakers.
