1971 K/5 Chevy Blazer, 89 K actual miles, very good condition.


This very unique Blazer was purchased new at Ed Black Chevrolet in Albuquerque, NM and has spent it's entire life in the mild, dry, high desert climate of  NM.  I purchased this Blazer 14 years ago from a retired Cadillac tech who owned and carefully maintained the vehicle for 28 years.

There is virtually no rust anywhere on the vehicle.  This includes common problem areas such as floor pans, kick panels, doors, rocker panels, firewall, tailgate, windshield frame, fenders, rear quarter panels, etc.

The body is in very good condition and is very straight.  It was repainted once in the original color and still has a nice gloss.  There are stone chips on some of the lower body panels and there are 3 very small imperfections (dings?) on the body that can only be seen in a certain light.  There is also damage to the right rear fender by the tail lamp which I have taken a picture of.  There was a CB antenna on the driver's side rear quarter.  It was removed and plugged.  The body work was not perfect and the repair is visible.
Although not perfect, the body looks very nice.

The removable top is double wall construction and is in excellent condition.  There are no cracks in the top or lift gate.
The interior is very clean and is in great shape.  The seats are very nice with no rips or tears.  The dash pad is not cracked.  The carpet is clean and is in good condition.  There are no speaker holes cut in the interior metal.  All gauges, lights, switches, radio, etc., work as they should.

The vehicle has the original factory power train.  The engine is a 350, 4 BL Q jet, 4 bolt main, engine code: V1209TBG,  and is in excellent condition.  It starts easy, has no unusual mechanical noises, and runs great.  The transmission is a 350 Turbo that shifts smoothly and has been serviced regularly.  The transfer case is a NP 205 that shifts into all ranges, is quiet and has been serviced regularly.  The rear end is tight and does not clunk or howl.  The front hubs are Warn premium locking hubs.  I have the original blue tab hubs that will go with the vehicle.

The steering , brakes, and suspension are all in good working order.  The vehicle steers straight and does not wander on the road. The brakes do not pull, squeak, or shudder. 
 
It has a new set of 31x10.50R 15 LT tires that have less 1000 miles.

Over all, this is an exceptional vehicle that hasn't been modified, has very low miles, and has the original power train.   It is dependable, quick, and fun to drive.  It doesn't act it's age.

Blazers like this are becoming very hard to find!

2014 Corvette Stingray meets Tesla Model S in drag strip showdown

Wed, Jan 29 2014

They come from two different worlds and have little in common. The Tesla Model S P85 is the sportiest version of this paradigm-punching sedan from California, while the 2014 Corvette Stingray Z51 is a performance-enhanced version of Michigan's recently-updated sports car stalwart. The West Coast car seats five adults and eats electrons like Popeye eats spinach, the Easterner has two passenger places and, surprisingly, sips gasoline like one might bourbon. An attribute they do happen to share is extreme quickness. This similarity is all the excuse Drag Times needed to set the vehicles beside each other at the Palm Beach International Raceway for a bit of mano-a-mano quarter-mile combat. Fortunately enough, cameras were rolling for each of two bouts down the blacktop and the results recorded for our edification and enlightenment. The winner? We won't spoil it for you, but let's just say it's really, really close. How close? Scroll below and watch the video for yourself. Just be warned, the results may surprise you.

GM Recalling 370,000 Trucks For Fire Risk

Mon, Jan 13 2014

DETROIT (AP) - General Motors is recalling 370,000 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups from the 2014 model year to fix software that could cause the exhaust components to overheat and start a fire. The recall includes 303,000 trucks in the U.S. and 67,000 in Canada and Mexico. All of the trucks involved have 4.3-liter or 5.3-liter engines. GM said eight fires have been reported, but no injuries. One garage was damaged, the company said. All of the incidents occurred in cold weather. The company is asking customers not to leave their trucks idling unattended. GM dealers will reprogram the software for free. The company will inform owners starting Jan. 16. The major recall announcement, which came on Saturday, marred the Silverado's winning of the 2014 North American Truck of the Year Award at the Detroit Auto Show on Monday.

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.
