FOR SOME REASON I CANNOT CHANGE BLAZER IN TITLE.. THIS IS NOT A BLAZER AND NEVER WAS. THIS IS A S10 Xtreme. What we have here is a Chevy S10 Xtreme 2.2 Liter Stick Shift Base Model. A little history on the vehicle: I bought the vehicle with approximately 50 thousand miles on it from a Virginia seller here on Ebay. The gentleman who owned the vehicle was actually middle aged and was battling cancer. After the pass of this gentleman, the vehicle was left to his elderly neighbor who would not drive a vehicle like this type since she was elderly. I saw the vehicle on Ebay and fell in love with it approximately 10 years ago. I went to Virginia and purchased the vehicle. I have used this vehicle for many years to get through all my years of my college education, started a mobile auto detailing business with this vehicle, and got back and forth to the police academy with this vehicle. Now in my thirties and owning multiple business, and working as a police officer, I have simply acquired way to many vehicles and cannot drive them all. I hate to keep seeing this nice little truck sit and never get used. THIS IS A GREAT LITTLE TRUCK, BUT NOT A PERFECT TRUCK. I am an honest seller and will be as detailed as possible so you as the buyer are fully aware of what the truck is and is not.
As you can see it no longer has the Xtreme body kit on the vehicle. I lowered the truck an additional 2 inches in the front and three in the rear. Once in a white I would scrape the body kit and it would be difficult to get into some steep areas, so therefore I removed the kit. The holes from the kit on the side of the body where welded shut and body work was completed along with paint. As you can see on the rear of the vehicle, the tailgate has been removed and a California type of roll pan/skin was installed. About every two or three years, as you can see in the pictures, the rear needs to be redone. No matter what body shop completes the fix, minor rust spots and cracking occur as you can see.
BODY OF VEHICLE: I would say the body is decent for the year. As you can see there are no major dents or dings and scratches are to a minimal if any. I never liked to park near anyone to avoid the dings and scratches on the vehicle, to body I would say is clean for its age. The hood on the vehicle was replaced and there are some rock chips on the hood and bumper. The hood is a aftermarket hood and there are a couple small dents to the front of the hood that are almost not noticeable. There is some small touch up spots on the body that can be done with some touch up paint, and the rear roll pan area can be fixed. I think for a truck this old with higher mileage, the body is exceptional. As you can see there is a hitch installed on the vehicle with a wiring kit. This was used to pull a small open trailer that had a water tank on it for a detailing business that I still on.
Headlights: Cloudy. I will sand and polish them if the vehicle sells to restore as much clarity as possible.
Bed Cover. Has a bed rug carpet and a soft black bed cover. The bed cover bolt broke, so a new bolt/mechanism will have to be bought and installed if the new owner wants the rear bed cover to lock, but is not needed. The bed cover actually is only a few months ago, but the one peice broke on the cover not allowing me to actually lock it down.
INTERIOR. Missing speaker covers since I always felt that the speakers were compromised of sound from the covers. This vehicle had a rubber floor from the factory and I installed a carpet. I dyed the carpet to make it black and will dye it again for any touch up issues if the vehicle sells. The door panels were also dyed with plastic dye to make them black since they were a dark gray when I got the vehicle. Had a subwoofer in the vehicle, but no longer. Wires are still there along with one amp as you can see which is included. Has a hurt shifter that the first owner installed and stayed in the truck ever since. Minor dash board crack, steering wheel peeling on top (can put steering wheel cover over to hide). Has Chevy caviler seats installed in the vehicle and stock Chevy floor mats.
SUSPENSION: New shocks in the rear, beltech 3 inch drop blocks and 2” drop spindles. Everything else is stock Chevy S10 Xtreme suspension.
Mechanical: A lot of small issues that I KNOW ABOUT AND CAN SEE.
1.ABS light on: I pulled fuse because I hate anti lock brakes. Will re install fuse so light goes off.
2. Oil Pressure Senor. I replaced the sensor and the gauge still goes wacky sometimes. This is my third s10 and they are known to do this. Sometimes reads high, sometimes low, sometimes dead on, really don’t know if I got a defective new sensor or another issues. Been like this for approx 4 years now, just doesn’t bother me.
3. Exhaust : Gibson exhaust cut back for roll pan. Small leak in down pipe of exhaust in which I can get fixed if the vehicle sells. Must allow at least 4 days for me to get this repaired if buyer desires. Leak issue will be fixed at down pipe.
4. Brakes: I feel one brake caliper is beginning to stick when I drive the vehicle. Will replace the bad caliber and replace brake pads if necessary.
5. Underneath. I feel the underneath of the body is in great condition. Appears that a new seal can be put in at the rear diff. I always checked this, and level was always near spot on. Appears that surface rust is on rear diff cover and possible slow leak at bottle of cover, but during oil changes never had issue of extreme low fluid.
6. Steering box. The steering in the wheel had been loose for years now. This is a common Chevy issue again in which I replaced the whole front end. Spline, tie rods, ball joints, link etc, but steering was still sloppy. I believe the steering box is just worn and needs to be replaced. I drove it this way for years because it does not bother me to the extent to replace it. Can be replaced or left alone.
7. Wiring Harness for trailer hitch. Have a new one which will be included in sale. Needs to be replaced because of age if you are going to tow something. If not no replacement is needed. A simple 10 minute install, I just have not done it because I no longer drive the vehicle. 8. Check engine light was on then went off. I went to the store to scan the code and the oxygen sensor came up. The light went off and never came back on. We do not need emissions here, so I left it alone. Appears that gas mileage an performance did not change.
9. Engine cannot be power washed. As a detailer I always wash and dress my engines. From day one, this vehicle engine bay cannot get wet, or it will not start for an hour or so. I know the owner who passed installed after market intake, throttle body spacer and some type of performance chip so the car can be tuned. The truck will never bed fast as it is the slow, but reliable 2.2 liter, so I never touched this stuff. My buddy has the same truck with 400,000 miles on the original motor. These motors are known to go for many miles, one of the best motors Chevy ever made.
Overall. I really feel the truck is a decent little truck. We been through a lot together and has NEVER broke down on me. Yes it needs some work, but I feel that the work needed is minor and can be done with a short amount of time. I am good with mechanics, but the truck may needs small things that I cannot see or hear. I stated the issues that I know need to be fixed. I did not do a full inspection of everything on the vehicle. When things gave me problems on the vehicle I replaced them such as the following.
New Shock I rear New Clutch Front End Replacement Drive Shaft Components Starter Alternator Brakes, Pads Change Oil Anti Freeze Clutch Fluid Rear End Fluid
Why am I selling this vehicle? I simply have to many vehicles, do not have time to drive this vehicle, and have other projects I’m involved in. I no longer want to see this vehicle sit and never driven, it is a shame. I hope a younger individual can acquire this vehicle and smile the way I did over the last 10 years of driving the vehicle. Gets a lot of looks on the highway and lowered suspension handles like a dream.
QUESTIONS. EMAIL OR CALL 570-807-2019. I am an honest seller and want to express everything I know about this vehicle and not hide anything!!! |

Weekly Recap: Ford guns for 2016 Le Mans glory with new GT
Sat, Jun 13 2015On the eve of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ford confirmed it will return to the French endurance race in 2016 and campaign the new GT racecar 50 years after three GT40s swept the podium at the Circuit de la Sarthe. The factory will back a two-team, four-car effort that will compete in the World Endurance Championship and the Tudor United SportsCar Championship running cars operated by Chip Ganassi Racing with Felix Sabates. The GT racecar will make its track debut in January at the Rolex 24 at Daytona, and the driver lineup will be announced later. "But rest assured, there's quite a line forming out the door," Ganassi said at the announcement. The GT is the modern successor to the iconic GT40, which won Le Mans four straight years from 1966-1969. The racecar is a rolling testbed of Ford's latest technologies, including a powerful twin-turbo EcoBoost V6. The car also makes extensive use of carbon-fiber pieces and advanced aerodynamics. Ford tapped Multimatic Motorsports of Canada and Roush Yates Engines to aid in the development of the GT racer. The road-going version, which was revealed in January at the Detroit Auto Show, is also set to launch next year. It caps Ford's growing performance lineup, and the company has ambitious plans to launch more than 12 new sporty models by 2020, including hot metal like the Focus RS, F-150 Raptor, and Shelby GT350R. The GT embodies Ford's best tech, but news of its return to Le Mans immediately conjured images of the company's fierce rivalry in the 1960s with Ferrari and intense competition with Porsche. "When the GT40 competed at Le Mans in the 1960s, Henry Ford II sought to prove Ford could beat endurance racing's most legendary manufacturers," Ford executive chairman Bill Ford said in a statement. "We are still extremely proud of having won this iconic race four times in a row, and that same spirit that drove the innovation behind the first Ford GT still drives us today." Ford is going back to Le Mans. Somewhere, Hank the Deuce must be smiling. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 BMW 7 Series arrives in the fall BMW revealed the sixth generation of its flagship 7 Series this week, which will start at $81,300 when it launches in the United States this fall. BMW is billing it as the roomiest 7 Series ever, and it measures 206.6 inches in length.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 [w/videos]
Wed, Jan 7 2015I think I was supposed to be back hours ago. Driving northwest on State Road 190 with a final destination deep in the heart of the Death Valley National Park, it occurs to me that I might have agreed to return after an hour or so, instead of the four I'll end up stealing, solo, in the new Z06. Somewhere in the combination of mountain vistas, arching, speed-hungry desert roads, and the sound of this titanic engine on a constant run up the rev ladder, I forgot everything I'd promised back at home base. The generous, civilized part of me worries for a moment that absconding with the new-best Corvette might have left one of my fellow journalists without a car. But the selfish part of me – the part largely in control of the rocket-launcher of a throttle under my right foot – says "screw it." I spent two days with the 2015 Chevy Corvette Z06, a monster of a sports car that will soon be dominating track days everywhere, and I never once was inclined to share it. Hurtling through the shattered stillness of the desert and pulling big Gs at Spring Mountain circuit, I never felt overly disposed to give up my seat. This Corvette, more than any I've yet driven, was deep enough to hold my attention; for two days, for two years, probably. With this Z06, the Corvette steps over the amazing-for-the-price category, and solidly into the best-cars-in-the-world zone. There are peripheral elements that remind me of its blue collar, Bowtie heritage, sure, but there's more that simply begs me to carry on driving... faster. Most casual car observers will be able to pick the 2015 Z06 out from its less aggressive Stingray brothers. Subtler hints include a new, more open grille, larger extractor on the taller hood and rather discreet badges on the flanks of the car. More outrageous is the finned spoiler on the rear trunk lid, and the widebody look offered from flared fenders – an extra 1.57 inches (40 millimeters) at their beefiest point. Even driving around performance-car-laden Pahrump, NV – loaded thanks to the very active community at the Spring Mountain racing resort – members of the local populace were turning heads, waving and generally noting the Z06 with approval when I drove through town. In Torch Red over black painted aluminum wheels, staggered at 19-inches in front and 20 at the back, the amped-up Z06 hits a new level of road presence for the C7.
Is this '47 Chevrolet a rat rod or a sports car?
Sun, May 22 2016These days there are plenty of vehicles that blur the conventional automotive class structures. For instance, was the Honda Crosstour a wagon or an SUV? And what exactly was the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet? Regardless, those line-blurring cars (or trucks) are out there, and though this one didn't roll off a production line, it's still quite the automotive head-scratcher. Hailing from Missouri, this epic creation is one part mad science experiment, one part 1947 Chevrolet pickup, and one part '95 Mercury Cougar. Add it all up and you get an awesome truck-sports-car hybrid, complete with an outrageous wing and a V8 to boot. And interestingly enough, it's up for sale . RELATED: Check out this Wild-Styled Lamborghini Rat Rod So how does it all come together? According to the listing, the Chevrolet truck cab (which had previously been chopped) was sanded down to bare metal and given a thorough shellacking of clear coat. It was then melded together with the front end of a 1995 Chevrolet S10 pickup truck, and set low to the ground on Bilstein suspension drop spindles. Stance achieved. But instead of fielding an engine from either of those pickups, it pulls its heart from a 2005 Chevrolet Tahoe SUV—a big 5.3-liter V8 heart, that is. It comes backed-up to a GM Turbo 400 automatic transmission. Towards the rear however is where things get really interesting. A Copper Pearl coated tube frame chassis both attaches the rear independent suspension (a la Mercury Cougar) to the racy spoiler, as well as secures the rat rod's rear-mounted radiator, fan, and fuel tank. I'm not quite sure why, but it just looks glorious. RELATED: Reports Say Mid-Engine Corvette Will Arrive in 2018 Inside the vintage cab, the Chevrolet furthers its racing proclivities (it's said to have won burnout and auto-cross events) with a pair of harnessed racing seats, a drift brake, a detachable steering wheel, and a tachometer with oil and temperature gauges, but oddly no speedometer. The shifter is a crescent wrench. And its shift boot? That's a Crown Royal Purple bag. All in all, this grin-worthy Frankenstein creation tallies up bits and pieces from four different vehicles (five if you include the Camaro wheels), which make it truly a mash-up of epic proportions.
