For sale: One-repaint survivor high desert dry Montana 70 Chevy K5 CST Blazer 4x4. I purchased the truck from a local guy that I believe was the 2nd owner, he had the truck 20 years and maintained it well and it shows. He was into these 67-72 trucks and upgraded to the 71-72 disk brake front end and posi rear. The truck is in great condition with no rot or rust. He had the rig repainted 15 years ago at a quality shop here in town, and it's still in good condition. Minor rust repair was done, but nothing major. Here in the land of sagebrush and prickly pear cactus, we only see 10 inches of total moisture per year and no salt is used on the roads, so we don't see rust issues. Truck still has factory chalk marks under hood and underneath! This Blazer is ready to use as is and I'll do my best to describe it below. Exterior: Paint is in good condition and truck looks great The casual observer won't find any flaws. Car show nit-pickers will find a few small chips that were touched up on cowl and driver door. NO rot or rust, minor repairs were done when the truck was repainted in the factory dark blue color 15 years ago that include rockers, one spot behind passenger rear wheel and a couple of small spots where windshield seal leaked near kick panel/footwell. We don't see rust or rot issues in this arid country- there's just no moisture. I have owned many of these trucks, and I think this is one of the driest I have ever seen, owing to years of meticulous care and proper storage. Underside of truck is super clean - floors, etc all look nice and dry - will add link to more pics underneath. Glass is good and windshield is new. It really is an honest rig, you can see that it's very straight and dry overall. Chrome in good condition with no pitting. Grille surround is in fairly good shape with only a few dings. Grille center bar has a pretty big scratch/ding as shown. Front bumper has a few dings. Rally wheels are in good shape with new trim rings. Interior: All original except front seat covers and very presentable. Factory A/C truck, but previous owner robbed most of the stuff for another 2WD shortbox truck he had, figuring this was a 4wd and didn't need A/C! Most of the stuff is readily available to make it functional again. Front seats had a few rips , so I had them recovered with the correct upholstery from Classic Industries. Driver door panel has a couple small tears as shown. Headliner and visors good. Original dashpad in good shape, gauge bezel shows wear. Original carpet shows wear but isn't torn up. Rear CST panels were cut at the very back for storage of some kind behind rear seat, they are available reproduction. Original steering wheel has the usual cracks. Everything seems to work except temp gauge and of course A/C. Aftermarket stereo was installed and woks. Heater switch failed and previous owner installed external switch on bottom of dash out of sight. Overall really nice shape for a truck of this age and no issues to drive and use. Mechanical: Starts, runs, drives out well, no major issues - 350 4 barrel engine runs smooth and pulls hard and trans shifts well. I had a professional mechanic inspect and drive the truck and he gave it a great review with the only possible repair needed being new U-joints. Shortblock was replaced at 96k miles, not the VIN matching original engine now but the code on pad decodes to a 1970 350 4 barrel engine! Heads were replaced at 113k miles. Oil pressure is good and no noticeable smoke or significant leaks other than the typical valve seal puff at startup once in a while. I tested the 4 x 4 and transfer case and everything seem to work fine. Truck doesn't seem heat at all. Exhaust is stock type and quiet. Everything on the truck appears to work except temp gauge and A/C from what I can tell. Tires are 33 x 12.50 and are not cracked, and have a season of tread left. Like all these short wheelbase rigs with huge tires, it will follow the ruts on some roads. On good roads it's fine. I had a complete front end inspection and alignment done and it's up to you if you want to live with it or swap to smaller tires. I've put a couple hundred miles on and from what I can tell, the truck ready to use and enjoy. This Blazer has the stock suspension with no lift other than slightly stiffer springs and a 1" block at the rear to offset the factory sag and give it a more aggressive stance. Pricing/Misc: I got a good deal on this rig and you will too. These trucks in good condition sell for double my reserve, which is under $9500 for quick sale. A similar 72 Blazer just sold for $18k here on Ebay and it needed paint. Title is clear with no lien and signed off and notarized and ready to fill in your name as purchaser. THANKS GOOD LUCK!

Motor Trend admits, "This is an unfair comparison." But that doesn't make it any less fun to watch when they pit a Camaro Z/28 against the Porsche 911 GT3. The former has a 7.0-liter V8 with 505 horsepower and 481 pound-feet of torque shifted through a six-speed manual. The latter has a 3.8-liter flat-six with 475 hp and 324 lb-ft shifted through a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission. Yet those are only the little disparities – the big disparities are mass and money: the Camaro weighs 3,882 pounds and costs $76,150 as-tested, the Porsche weighs 3,267 pounds and costs $145,785. But they're both about hardcore performance, so MT takes them out on the street, to the drag strip, to the parking lot for figure eights and a skidpad test, and finally to Big Willow for Randy Pobst to give his professional assessment. Remember when a lotta people spent a lotta time debating Pirates vs. Ninjas? This is like that, only it's the "haul-ass good-time car" vs. the "track surgeon." Enjoy the debate in the video.

There's nothing quite like mudding. Big tires, huge power, and crazy-wild gearheads that like to throw down on a mud pit almost as much as a thirty rack of Coors. In the latest, and some might argue greatest yet episode of Car Club USA, we head to Louisiana to throw some dirt at Mudfest. As Louisiana's one and only Mouth of the South puts it, "If you don't mud ride... go to Texas I guess." Joining The Mouth and friendly rivals The Most Hated Mud Sluts, we dive in. Beyond the obvious V8 blasting and tractor-tire spinning, those who know best describe Mudfest as, "Good cooking, good friends, good fun, and a lot of partying." It's a motorsport spectacle unlike any you're likely to find up North or out West, though no less impressive to behold. Follow along with the fun, the impromptu drag racing, the trash talking, and the mechanical madness. And find out why, at Mudfest, "if we don't tear it up, we ain't done it right." Each Car Club USA episode features a different car club or event from across the US, where passionate owner communities gather to share automotive experiences and embark on incredible adventures. From Main Street cruises to off-road trails, catch all the latest car club activity on Autoblog. Chevrolet Ford Jeep RAM Truck Off-Road Vehicles Car Club USA Videos autoblog black

Call me crazy, but I'm not convinced the mid-engine Corvette is the next Corvette. The rumor is strong, yes. And, contrary to some of the comments on our site, Car and Driver - leader of the mid-engine Corvette speculation brigade - has a pretty good record predicting future models. But it's another comment that got me thinking: or maybe it's a Cadillac. There is clearly something mid-engine going on at GM, and I think it makes sense for the car to be a Cadillac. First off, check out how sweet the 2002 Cadillac Cien concept car still looks in the photo above. Second, there are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. There are too many holes in the mid-engine Corvette theory. The C7 is relatively young in Corvette years, starting production almost three years ago as a 2014 model. Showing a 2019 model at the 2018 North American International Auto Show would kill sales of a strong-selling car before its time. Not to mention it would only mean a short run for the Grand Sport, which was the best-selling version of the previous generation. More stuff doesn't add up. Mid-engine cars are, in general, more expensive. Moving the Vette upmarket leaves a void that the Camaro does not fill. There's not much overlap between Camaro and Corvette customers. Corvette owners are older and enjoy features like a big trunk that holds golf clubs. Mid-engine means less trunk space and alienating a happy, loyal buyer. Also, more than 60 years of history. The Corvette is an icon along the likes of the Porsche 911 and Ford Mustang. I'm not sure the car-buying public wants a Corvette that abandons all previous conventions. And big changes bring uncertainty - I don't think GM would make such a risky bet. Chevrolet could build a mid-engine ZR1, you might say, and keep the other Corvettes front-engine. Yes they could, and it would cost a ton of money. And they still need to fund development of that front-engine car. I highly doubt the corporate accountants would go for that. But a Cadillac? Totally. Cadillac is in the middle of a brand repositioning. GM is throwing money at this effort. A mid-engine halo car is the just the splash the brand needs to shake off the ghosts of Fleetwoods past. And it's already in Cadillac President Johan De Nysschen's playbook. He was in charge of Audi's North America arm when the R8 came out. A Caddy sports car priced above $100,000 isn't that unreasonable when you can already price a CTS-V in that range.
