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. |

Can DARPA hack into a Chevy Impala through OnStar?
Mon, Feb 9 2015An ex-video game wizard named Dan Kaufman tracked a circuitous route to becoming the head of the Software Innovation Division at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. DARPA normally makes these pages because of its work with autonomous vehicles and automobile technology that overlaps with military applications, but for the past five years Kaufman and his multiple research teams have been working on creating unhackable software code that could be used in military drones. Part of that work has involved hacking into just about everything else, and as a segment on 60 Minutes reveals, that includes cars. The masterminds discovered a way to hack into OnStar, the General Motors telematics system. After figuring out how to hook into OnStar's emergency communication system, they overwhelmed it with data. While the computer was busy trying to manage the overrun of data, the research team inserted code that took control of the sedan's other computers, giving it control. So while reporter Leslie Stahl tooled around in a parking lot, a DARPA researcher with a laptop would occasionally take control of the car, like by applying its brakes or, conversely, removing the ability for Stahl to use the brakes. Hacking into vehicles has been in the news for years: Car and Driver ran a feature on the various ways cars could be hacked in 2011, two hackers released a car-hacking code at the hacker-fest Defcon in 2013 and demonstrated how it worked on a Toyota Prius and Ford Escape, and German researchers demonstrated how they could hack into BMW's Connected Drive remote-services system last week via an attack on the cars' telematics units. This isn't about GM or Onstar or the future; hacking into cars of all kinds isn't coming, it's here, and it doesn't take the half-billion-dollar annual budget of a small DARPA division to do it. Check out the 60 Minutes video on the CBS site (you can watch the entire video from a mobile device without logging in). The OnStar hacking starts at 6:45, but it's worth watching what leads up to that. News Source: Jalopnik Chevrolet Safety Technology Infotainment Autonomous Vehicles Videos Sedan hacking 60 minutes
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
