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.

Information continues to filter out about GM's plans based on comments the automaker made during its Capital Markets Day event in February. GM President Mark Reuss said the company's push to save money by rationalizing the number of build combinations will continue in 2020, carrying on the work done in 2019. As GM Authority covers, last year, the carmaker cut 3,500 components across model lines, a 12% drop in the number of parts it needed to stock in its plants. Reuss used the next-generation Chevolet Equinox and GMC Terrain as examples for more cost efficiencies, saying build possibilities — which include international markets and their options — will be cut by more than 50%, and use more shared parts. "We will reduce total trim levels on Equinox and Terrain from eight to six," Reuss said, "reduce engine variants from 11 to 5, reduce build combinations from more than 200 to less than 100 per program, and see significant cost savings of an already paid-for architecture that took the mass out, helping us self-fund electrification programs." GM will plow a large amount of the money it saves into its ambitious EV program. In 2017, the automaker said it intends to have 20 electric vehicles on the market by the end of 2023, some of which could be shared between brands. An automotive analyst at Seeking Alpha and a piece in Automobile attempted to put specifics to what we should expect. As Automobile points out, the first two EVs in the 20-car program are already on sale, being the Ariv Meld and Ariv Merge eBikes available in Belgium and The Netherlands. We've seen the Cruise Origin autonomous rideshare taxi, although we don't know when it will hit the road. The next three, which we should see in the metal shortly, are two Cadillac EVs and the GMC Hummer EV pickup. The Cadillac pair are expected to be sized like the XT4 and XT5, and along with the Hummer, should hit the market starting in late 2021.

General Motors has finally dropped the curtain on the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra. Both trucks have undergone substantial revisions with updated versions of the company's 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 engines. In a shot across the bows of both Ford and Chrysler, GM says it won't use a V6 engine adapted from passenger car applications. Instead, it developed the 4.3-liter engine based on its proven truck-duty architecture.
All three mills will boast direct injection fuel systems as well as a new cylinder head design. Combined with a revised piston, the new engines feature a smaller combustion chamber with a compression ratio of 11:1 or higher depending on the application. Cylinder deactivation and continuously variable valve timing are all part of the recipe, and each engine is paired with a six-speed automatic transmission with auto grade breaking. So far, no fuel economy or horsepower figures have been released, though GM says the new engines will best their predecessors in both areas.
Outside, the trucks feature a number of enhancements to reduce drag and wind noise, and GM claims both the Silverado and Sierra will offer buyers some of the quietest cabins in the class. Extended cab models now feature front-hinged rear doors to allow easier access to the back passenger area, and Crew Cab buyers can now select between a five-foot, eight-inch bed or a six-foot, six-inch bed. Buyers with a mind toward going off road will also rejoice in the return of the Z71 package, complete with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and additional under-body protection.
