For sale, low mile, original, clean, dry, one-repaint survivor 1978 Chevy Blazer. I recently acquired this through a friend from the 2nd owner, who owned it for 30 years. Sold new right here in the Montana high desert, land of the sagebrush and prickly pear cactus. This was a daily driver till last year, and it is sorted and ready to go. Well cared-for vehicle owned by an older gentleman and not abused in any way. I don't think it's even been off the highway for the last 20 years. Well optioned with factory A/C, cruise, tilt wheel and power locks. Exterior: Shiny paint with no major flaws and ready to drive and enjoy. Not concours or museum quality by any means, but nice. Rig was repainted at some point and it's an average everyday main street auto body shop job. No major rust issues, there was some very minor rust repair at the time of the repaint, but we don't just don't see major rust or rot issues in this arid country- there's just no moisture. We only get 10 inches of total precipitation annually, and no salt is used on the roads. Typically the only rust seen here is where mud builds up and holds moisture, like behind rear wheels. Underside is beautiful with no rust, not even surface(and I know where to look) or any issues whatsoever. I will upload pics when I get to a hoist, but it's super clean. Only surface rust I can see at all is on the bottom of the tailgate latches, and on the steel plates behind the front wheels up in the wheel wells as shown in pics - both superficial. Glass is good except for one crack in windshield, and wheels are nice with no major curb rash, and 31" tires have good tread. Chrome is good with no pitting whatsoever, both bumpers do have a dent. Replacement bumpers are readily available from many vendors and reasonable. The top was not repainted with the vehicle and there are quite a few scratches in it. There is a hole in passenger side fender where CB antenna was. There was a set of running boards on it, so there are a few holes drilled in the bottom of the rockers. I will include the running boards if desired, they are in good condition. Overall, this truck is nice and ready to go. Interior: All original and very presentable. Driver seat has one small tear as shown. Original carpet is a bit faded but not torn up. Door panels and rear panels nice, dash has a few small cracks as shown. Short headliner piece over front seats needs to be replaced. Dash bezel has one very small corner broken off, but they are readily available and reasonable. Just about everything seems to work including power locks and rear window. Gauges all work fine except ammeter. Combination AM/FM/radio/CB works and plays all the vintage stations but the CB antenna has been removed. Overall really nice shape for a car of this age and no issues to drive and use as is. Mechanical: Starts, runs, drives out well like a little-old-man Sunday truck should. No major issues - engine runs smooth and pulls hard and trans shifts well. Oil pressure is good and runs about in the middle of the gauge rolling down the highway warm. Full time 4x4 works fine and seems tight. Recent receipts include complete carb rebuild, battery, starter, alternator, radiator hoses and brakes. No major leaks or noises or smoke (other than a puff at startup from valve seals) Only thing I can even remotely think of in the interest of full disclosure is that there is a slight rocker/valvetrain tick that can be heard by a trained ear - doesn't affect performance and there are many, many miles left in this strong 350. A/C equipment is all there and belt is on, blows fine, but not super cold so I would think a recharge might be in order. Factory cruise control equipment is all there but cruise doesn't engage, haven't looked to see if it's a fuse or what. I've put a couple hundred miles on and from what I can tell it's ready to use and enjoy. Pricing/Misc: I got a good deal on this rig and you will too. This era Blazer is very hard to find, and books a ton, but the very reasonable reserve is well under $5k for quick sale. Title is signed off by previous owner and ready for you to fill your name in as purchaser. There is a lien indicated from 1985, and lien release is attached. GOOD LUCK! Keep in mind that with all cars, THEY LOOK BETTER IN PICTURES THAN IN PERSON.

General Motors has told dealers to stop selling some 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars. But the company won't say why. Dealers say stop-sale orders are routine and almost always made to fix a safety problem. They received the order in an e-mail Thursday, but no reason was given. The move comes as GM deals with fallout from a delayed recall of 1.6 million older small cars to fix an ignition switch problem. The company says the switches can slip out of the run position and shut down the engine. That causes loss of power steering and brakes and disables air bags. GM says the problem has been linked to 31 crashes and at least a dozen deaths. Spokesman Greg Martin says he has no details on the Cruze.

It's vital these days for automakers to keep up with the Jones' when in the crossover market. The segment is just too popular among buyers to let a vehicle waste away, and Chevrolet is giving the 2016 Equinox a slight refresh at the Chicago Auto Show to hopefully keep people interested. In reality, though, the CUV isn't too much different beyond a tweaked face and some interior improvements. The exterior now boasts a revised front fascia with a chrome-accented grille and projector beam headlights, and at the rear there are new taillights. Top -evel models get LED running lights, as well. Inside, the Equinox features a standard seven-inch touchscreen infotainment system with a backup cam, and for added safety, the CUV is now available with rear cross traffic and blade zone alert on some trims. Beyond these updates, the powertrains carry over entirely from before with the choice between a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.6-liter V6. These refreshed 2016 models go on sale this fall.

Most of us have strong opinions on diesel-powered cars based on our perceptions of and experience with them. I used to thoroughly dislike oil burners for their noise, smoke and lackluster performance, and the fact that they ran on greasy, smelly stuff that was more expensive than gasoline, could be hard to find and was nasty to get on your hands when refueling. Those negatives, for me, trumped diesel's major positives of big torque for strong acceleration and better fuel economy. Are any of those knocks on diesel still valid today? I'm not talking semis, which continue to annoy me when their operators for some reason almost never shut them down. At any busy truck stop, the air seems always filled with the sound – and sometimes smell – of dozens of big-rig diesels idling endlessly and mindlessly. Or diesel heavy-duty pickups. Those muscular workhorses are far more refined than they once were and burn much less fuel than their gasoline counterparts. But good luck arriving home late at night, or departing early morning, without waking your housemates and neighbors with their clattery racket. No, I'm talking diesel-powered passenger cars, which account for more than half the market in Europe (diesel fuel is cheaper there) yet still barely bump the sales charts in North America. Diesel fuel remains more expensive here, too few stations carry it, and too many Americans remember when diesel cars were noisy, smelly slugs. Also, US emissions requirements make them substantially more expensive to certify, and therefore to buy. But put aside (if you can) higher vehicle purchase and fuel prices, and today's diesel cars can be delightful to drive while delivering much better fuel efficiency than gas-powered versions. So far in the US, all except Chevrolet's compact Cruze Diesel come from German brands, and all are amazingly quiet, visually clean (no smoke) and can be torquey-fun to drive. When a GM Powertrain engineering team set out to modify a tried-and-true GM of Europe turbodiesel four for North American Chevy Cruze compacts, says assistant chief engineer Mike Siegrist, it had a clear target in mind: the Volkswagen Jetta TDI 2.0-liter diesel. And they'll tell you that they beat it in nearly every way. "I believe we have a superior product," he says. "It's powerful, efficient and clean, and it will change perceptions of what a diesel car can be." The 2.0L Cruze turbodiesel pumps out 151 SAE certified horses and 264 pound-feet of torque (at just 2,000 rpm) vs.
