My Dad & I have owned this truck since 2008 and was daily driven till about two years ago when we decided to restore it. 105,000 original miles and never any rust. Now it just sits and never gets driven, so we've decided to cut our losses and sell it. We began by ditching the old 305 in favor of a 350, rebuilt by Billy Graham at Performance Machine here in Manhattan, KS. Fairly modest rebuild, .030 over 10.5:1 Keith Black hypereutectic pistons, 268 duration, .477 lift Comp cam, springs, & lifters, HV oil pump, double roller timing chain, hardened valve seats. That was all topped off with an Edelbrock 2701 Performer intake and 1405 600 cfm carburetor. We also added a Tuff Stuff 100 amp chrome alternator with polished billet aluminum bracket, Weiand polished aluminum water pump, polished aluminum fabricated valve covers, and a Lokar dipstick. An MSD Street Fire distributor with Accel header plugs & wires takes care of the ignition. Also a new radiator, all belts & hoses, steering box, battery, and titanium-wrapped headers with all new 2-1/4" dual exhaust. A/C does not work, but all components are there. The 700R4 trans. was rebuilt before we got it, but was done at 85,000 miles. I added a Hughes Performance 2400 or 2500 stall converter. Next came the body, which was done with PPG basecoat/clearcoat. Both inner fenders were painted & replaced, new left door & fender (they were dented), and tailgate. All new chrome bumpers with new bolts, new headlights, new headlight bezels, new billet aluminum grille, new tail lights, new front & rear side markers, new wheel well arches & side moldings, new lock cylinders, door pins & bushings, windshield and NOS badges on the rear quarters. All seals, gaskets, window felts, weatherstrips, etc. were replaced, even for the top, which was removed for painting. The top was done with some flattener added to the paint for an original look. The truck was torn down to the shell during the restoration process, so all the door jambs & back sides of panels could be painted. We have yet to get to the interior; it will need total replacement. Overall, all the hard work is done on the truck and it looks pretty good. There are minor details left to be attended to on the exterior & engine, and the interior could be completed a piece at a time if you had to. It's just almost there, but like I said, this is still a work in progress and has some minor issues that should be addressed. A plug wire rides awfully close to a header, which I worry about burning, and there was a small antifreeze leak somewhere, but I think that has subsided. A chrome air cleaner would go a long ways, too. The remainder of badges would complete the exterior, as well as some touch-up paint. Keep in mind that since the engine & body restoration almost two years ago, we've only put 303 (yes, 303) miles on this thing (hasn't even had its first oil change yet), so it's still very fresh. 85-90% tread left on 31x10.50 A/T tires. The Blazer is actually located in Topeka, KS (66614). Please e-mail, call or text (785 2493282) with any questions. Thanks, Jason. |

Burt Reynolds' vehicles up for auction at Barrett-Jackson
Tue, Sep 25 2018Burt Reynolds' influence on car culture cannot be overstated. Be it "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball Run," his films inspired a generation of car enthusiasts. He died a few weeks back from cardiac arrest at age 82. This weekend, four vehicles from Reynolds' personal collection — three Pontiacs and a Chevy — will go up for auction at Barrett-Jackson in Las Vegas. It seems Reynolds had plans to sell the cars before he passed. He even filmed a short teaser for the auction and planned to attend the event himself. Three of the cars are Pontiac Trans Ams. Two are re-creations of the cars he drove in "Bandit" and the film "Hooper." Both are 1978 models. The third Trans Am is from 1984 and was used to promote Reynolds' USFL team, the Tampa Bay Bandits. The fourth vehicle is a 1978 Chevy R30 pickup truck. It's styled like the truck he drove in "Cannonball Run." None of the vehicles were actually used in the movies. But they were registered in his name, making them far more legitimate than some other movie-inspired clones. It's unclear how many Bandit Trans Ams Reynolds has owned over the years. Another car connected to him sold for $450,000 back in 2014. His death is sure to drive the price of these new cars even higher.

2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES
Mon, Jan 5 2015Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015! Full details on 1/12 at #NAIAS. pic.twitter.com/hPCbTFGSV4 - Chevrolet Volt (@ChevyVolt) January 5, 2015 Take a look at the new Chevy Volt http://t.co/laCvWLRMXk pic.twitter.com/uOzRh5XCrP - Engadget (@engadget) January 5, 2015 The very first look at the 2016 Chevy Volt doesn't disappoint: http://t.co/PM0HcnyQOo pic.twitter.com/WFtoyd0utH - Gizmodo (@Gizmodo) January 5, 2015 Chevy just gave @Tim_Stevens a very quick look at the next-gen Volt at #CES2015. #CNETatCES http://t.co/3n6EK1yOrC pic.twitter.com/7KDYh0VSg0 - CNET (@CNET) January 5, 2015 Related Gallery 2016 Chevy Volt at CES Related Gallery 2016 Chevrolet Volt Teaser Images Green CES Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet GM Alternative Fuels Green Automakers Electric Hybrid Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show CES 2015
Sunday Drive: From a mid-engine 'Vette to a restomod RV
Sun, Jan 7 2018Automotive enthusiasts are a diverse bunch. As proof, we present last week's top posts on Autoblog, starting with some really good spy photos of the upcoming mid-engine Chevrolet Corvette. Will it be sold alongside a classic front-engine 'Vette? We have no idea, but we can't wait to find out. Up next is a pickup truck. Can't get much further from a supercar, right? At least both the Corvette and the 2019 Ram 1500 – which will debut a radical new design that appears to eschew the mini big-rig look of past Rams in favor of something more refined – are both American. Decidedly not American? The Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV. The boxy off-road 'ute looks a heck of a lot like the old one, which is probably a good thing, but we know it'll be fancier and more luxurious than ever before. Check out the leaked images below. Also hailing from Germany, but sharing absolutely nothing else in common at all, is the Audi A4 Allroad. We've been driving this all-wheel-drive wagon for a while now, and we like it quite a bit. And, last but not least, is a 1959 bus that's been converted into an RV. Like we said, y'all certainly are a diverse bunch.
