Listed for auction is my  2 door 1991 Chevy S-10 Blazer Sport 4X4 that I have owned since 1991. I am the second owner having purchased it in the summer of 1991. The 4.3 litre 6 cylinder has plenty of power while still getting good gas mileage (about 20-25 mpg on highway).  This vehicle has never been smoked in. About the only major repairs I have had to make to it are a water pump, starter, and air conditioning compressor all in 2001. The air was not changed over and now needs recharged. This Blazer has been very reliable for me and has been through many winters with no problems.  I have kept up on the maintenance over the years (oil changes and service every 3,000 miles). It was also detailed twice every year.  One time I had to have some work done on the speedometer. The dealership had to keep it overnight and the next day a representative of MVA had to be there to oversee the procedure and verify the mileage. I have not used it very much over the past 6-7 years and it has been sitting most of that time. This is my reason for selling. Originally it had an electrical problem which drained the battery and it turned out to be a loose computer panel. The battery will need replaced. My mechanic had it started with a charger ("hot box") a few times. My mechanic has also determined that it will need a fuel pump. The brake light stays on. We have not tried to see what the problem is there.  The interior of the Blazer is in very good condition for the age. The cloth seats have a corduroy like material on them and there are no stains or tears in them. The carpet is also in very good condition and it still has the original floor mats. The dash does not have any weathering cracks in it.  I already described the mechanics of it in description above. The exterior is in need of a little TLC. The pictures show the bubbling rust and in a couple of places there are some small holes. The clear coat has worn off the top surfaces and the paint has faded. My mechanic checked the underside and said the frame and floor pans are in good condition. The rear hatch glass will only open partially, a problem with the hydraulics. The side rear windows will slide open to let air into the cargo compartment. Some of the rubber molding around them needs to be glued back. The spare tire unit in the back works well and has the original tire and the cover. All window glass and light lenses are in good condition with no damages. The tires have decent tread but are beginning to show some minor dry rot.  Other than a collision with a deer just after I purchased it and the damaged was very minor, this vehicle has never been in an accident since I have owned it. I also have the owners manual and other manuals.  Considering the good mechanics and the very good interior and low mileage (under 81,000), I believe this vehicle is a good candidate for restoration. This Blazer is being sold "as-is where is" with no warranty written or implied. Some of the pictures were taken at my house and the rest at my mechanics shop lot. The vehicle is currently there and will be picked up there with either a flat bed truck or vehicle pulling a tandem trailer. I have sold other vehicles on EBay and am quite familiar  with all the scam attempts so please do not try or bid will be cancelled. The only method of payment I want is a $200 deposit to Paypal account first and the balance in cash at time vehicle is picked up. Will give signed title only when cash is in my hand.  Please no personal checks, cashiers checks , or credit cards. Feel free to email me with any questions except to inquire about the reserve price, I am not going to give it out. Vehicle must be picked up within 14 days of close of auction. Thanks for viewing my auction and good luck bidding.

Recharge Wrap-up: U of M wins Solar Challenge, family attempts record-breaking e-bike ride

Thu, Aug 14 2014

The University of Michigan Solar Car Team has won the 2014 American Solar Challenge. It is the team's eighth national championship, its fifth in a row, and its first using Siemens' product lifecycle management (PLM) software. The race took place over 1,722 miles and seven days traveling across eight states. The team's car, called "Quantum," outpaced the nearest competitor by four hours. Looking forward, Michigan Solar Car Project Manager Pavan Naik says, "The switch to Siemens tools will give us the ability to model and simulate everything and truly allow us to optimize the performance of our new vehicle. As we start on our quest to win the World Solar Challenge in 2015, we'll be leveraging a full complement of PLM solutions." Read more in the press release below. The EcoCar3 competition, in which teams will convert Chevrolet Camaros into hybrid electric cars, begins in September. The various college teams will have four years to lessen the car's environmental impact as much as possible while maintaining performance and, of course, that cool Camaro design. EcoCar3, which is put on by the US Department of Energy and General Motors, kicks off with a workshop in Novi, Michigan from September 16 - 18. Read more at the DOE website at the dedicated EcoCar3 site or watch the announcement video at our previous post. Zap and Jonway Auto are shifting to a high rate of EV production. Zap already has two lines creating the Urbee EV to met demand, and is switching over a third to make electric minivans and SUVs. The company aims to produce 30,000 EVs by 2015 for the Chinese market. Zap says it has a backlog of 25,000 Urbee orders. Read more in the press release below. A family of four hopes to make a world record-breaking, 6,000-mile electric bike journey this fall. The family, which recently drove from Argentina to Montana in a pickup with a camper, will ride from Montana to Maine, then down the East Coast to Florida in an attempt to break the record for longest electric bicycle ride. They'll use two bikes. The Father, Thomas, will ride one of the bikes carrying one of the children, while the rest of the family rides in a support vehicle, with the mother, Dylan, riding the second bike when they can find others to drive. They have started a crowdfunding campaign for some of the equipment needed to document the trip. See the video below or read more at Treehugger.

Recharge Wrap-up: Toyota FCV Rally Car To Compete, Barra bullish on Chevy Volt

Fri, Oct 31 2014

The Toyota FCV will compete in the last stage of the 2014 Japanese Rally Championship. The sport-tuned hydrogen-powered car will tackle the 177-mile Shinshiro Rally on November 1 and 2, emitting no greenhouse gases in the process. The rally course will help prove the safety of the vehicle before it goes on sale in Japan in the next several months. The Toyota FCV, rumored to be called "Mirai" in Japan, will begin sales there before April, according to Toyota, and in the summer in the US and Europe. Read more in the press release below. Carsharing is becoming more popular, and more visible, throughout the world, including the US. According to WardsAuto columnist John McElroy, 18 percent of US drivers have used some sort of carsharing service. Additionally, he says 60 percent of Americans are familiar with Zipcar and Uber. Mercedes' Harald Kroeger says promotions like free parking for carshares in Stuttgart are encouraging growth for Daimler's carsharing service, Car2go. Read more at WardsAuto. Ethanol is being help up by rail transport, according to ethanol producer Green Plains. More and more stations are carrying E15 blend gasoline, but grain producers have complained that crude oil is given higher priority by the rail lines shipping it, which rail companies deny. Union Pacific and BNSF Railway say they are stepping up service to make sure that ethanol can be shipped reliably to customers. Read more at Omaha World-Herald. General Motors "has placed a significant bet [on] the electrification of the automobile," says CEO Mary Barra. In a speech to the Detroit Economic Club this week, she spoke about the Chevrolet Volt, and its importance to GM's future. While Barra admits the Volt's success has been "not everything we wanted," it has provided experience, and shows that EVs have "an important role in the future of GM." The new Volt is more refined, stores more energy, has longer range, uses less fuel and is a big investment for Michigan. She announced that the new Volt's electric drive system will be built in Warren, and that all of its major components will be made in Michigan. "Silicon Valley doesn't have a corner on the market for innovation, creativity and drive," says Barra. "These qualities exist here – in this region – as well."

How a Texas Hyundai dealer became the Chevy SSR king

Tue, Apr 21 2015

The SSR isn't one of the most appreciated vehicles in Chevy's long history. With a style amalgamating the look of a vintage hotrod, convertible and a pickup, it's really serving a niche market right from the start. However, a Hyundai dealer in Texas has turned selling the cult models into a booming business and has become the de facto king of the quirky truck. According to Automotive News, Paul Peebles runs North Freeway Hyundai in Spring, TX, but he's better known in the Chevy SSR community the premiere seller of the weird model through his used car network. The odd venture started in 2010 when Peebles wanted to boost his pre-owned business and bought several sporty vehicles. Among them were five SSRs, and he threw a cookout for owners to get the word out. Things just ballooned from there. Since then, Peebles' used car dealer has had a hand in 447 SSR transactions, and some of those are the same truck coming back to sell again. With just over 24,000 of them out there, that works about to two percent of the model's production moving through just one business. The dealership also sponsors an SSR owners' forum online. Being a major broker for a niche model also means that Peebles often gets rare examples of the SSR, including some of the Indianapolis 500 pace car versions, according to Automotive News. We even saw a bizarre one last year when the business put this shark-inspired truck on eBay Motors. The whole thing also works out well for Peebles' Hyundai business. Specializing in SSRs brings other performance models in as trade-ins, and they can draw folks to the lot to check out the collection. Then, maybe visitors can take a look at a Sonata, too.
