1970 Chevrolet Blazer Base Sport Utility 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Mansfield, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1970 Chevrolet Blazer a buddy and I picked up a couple of years ago in Fayette County, PA. The truck had been sitting for a long time and was last inspected in 1998. It looked as though the previous owner started a restoration and stopped after realizing he was in over his head. We winched her on a car hauler and brought her home. The previous owner had picked up a new soft top and rail system and a poly fuel cell to replace the leaking stocker. It has a set of white wagon wheels and is in desperate need of tires. The tires on it hold air for a while, but are pretty worn and weather checked. The front left has a spare tire on it because it made for easier loading and unloading from the car hauler. Once we got her home I pulled the stock intake, carb, distributor, wires, and plugs. I replaced the plugs, installed some Accel plug wires, and a HEI distributor. I swapped the cast iron two barrel intake for an aluminum Edelbrock four barrel intake. The carb is a 600 CFM, electric choke Edelbrock. The valve covers, thermostat housing, and air cleaner are all Edelbrock as well. Once the intake was buttoned up, we hooked up a temporary fuel cell and bumped it over to see where the timing was hitting. The truck fired right up and settled into an idle. As long as the battery is charged, that's all you have to do. Just bump the key and it fires right up every time....way better than my '79 does! The transmission is a manual, three speed on the column that shifts perfectly. Our plan was to remove the column shift and install an automatic for ease of use. The passenger and rear sets are in good shape, but the driver's seat needs some attention. There's a removable GMC center console as well as the push bar mounted on the front bumper. The lights, gauges, and indicators all work as they should and the wiring looks good save the switch that was installed for a set of off road lights on the push bar. The switch and lights were removed. There is no stereo, but the dash is otherwise in great shape. It had been a while since either of us had run a three speed, but once familiarized we had no problem navigating all over the property with the Blazer in 2 and 4 wheel drive. As stated, there is a new poly fuel cell in the rear that needs installed as well as an aftermarket soft top. We didn't attempt to install either as we used the Blazer for running around the property. That was pretty much all the good, so I'll move on to the not so good. The body is in need of extensive repair. I could ramble on about all of the parts that have rust, but I'll let the pics do the talking. The frame has scaling, but only appears to have one hold on the side of the c channel above the left rear shock mount. Below you'll find a link to a short video of us firing her up. The idle is a bit high as the choke isn't hooked up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tLZUA6CB6M&feature=youtu.be The truck will come with the stock intake, manifold, carb, and some miscellaneous spare parts. The truck can be driven on to a trailer for transport. Drop me a line with any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. This is a no reserve auction for a good old classic truck that needs a new home! |

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega
Sat, 19 Oct 2013Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.
Hurst Edition Trans Am proves the Screaming Chicken will rise from the ashes
Wed, 31 Oct 2012It seems the Pontiac Trans Am steadfastly refuses to die. Ever since Chevrolet was granted a retrofied Camaro to compete with the Ford Mustang, Pontiac lovers have lamented the loss of this 1970s icon. And, looking at the Hurst Edition from Trans Am Depot, shown here at the 2012 SEMA Show, may explain what all the fuss is about.
It's not going to appeal to everyone's muscle-car tastes, but there's certainly room for a brash-and-bold black-and-gold Special Edition in many a Trans Am lover's garage. After all, if you want the keys to a custom pony car, you'll certainly get noticed in this one. If this scheme isn't your bag,, you can alternatively order your Hurst Edition in white and gold or silver and black. Oh, and don't forget a color-coordinated Screaming Chicken on the hood.
No matter which way you choose to go, your inner Burt Reynolds will appreciate the Eibach suspension kit, forged wheels with Pirelli PZero tires, functional shaker hood, fender air extractors, rear spoiler and, of course, a Hurst shifter inside. The interior is emblazoned with all manner of special touches, including a Hurst dash plate and T/A stitching on the Katzkin two-tone leather seats.
