1970 K5 BLAZER

“UP FOR AUCTION” is a 1970 CHEVROLET K5 Blazer. This is a 44 year old vehicle and it is a very reliable and desirable model for a lot of car collectors or off road enthusiasts. It has the original 307 CU engine with a two barrel carburetor and the four speed transmission The DANA 44 differentials with 3.73 GEARS and the 205 TRANSFER CASE. I’m the second owner and it shows 54,000 original miles on the speedometer and according to the previous owner, this are in fact the original miles. This vehicle was not used for a few years and it was just parked in a garage were I found it 18 years ago. This engine still has a lot of life left on it.

I had all the brakes re-done about a year ago, (drum type front and rear). It has chrome headers with a new dual exhaust system extended all the way to the rear with side exit and chrome tips. I had a 2 1/2 inches lift kit installed with all four 9000 Rancho shock absorbers. It has no AC and no PB. It does have power steering.

An AM/FM radio/cassette stereo is in place and ready to receive the speakers of your choice (no speakers). All gauges work except the amps gauge. The gauge cluster was replaced with a new unit and I think that the problem is just probably a loose connection.

The interior was fixed a little but never finished except for the seats and side door panels that were upholstered with a camouflage material. It needed a roll bar so I got one for it with a padding material around it for a better look and protection. The dashboard was also replaced and still needs carpeting, moldings and seat belts. I have the center console for it. Overall, It needs only some cosmetic touches. The wipers, heater, emergency warning lights, turn signals glove compartment glove lock assembly, and foot brake work fine. I need to mention that the outer rocker side panels on both sides had only a few rust bubbles and they didn’t need to be replaced instead they were only repaired and the floor pans, doors, window gutters, fenders, frame  and bed are free of rust and very solid. This is an Arizona truck.

. A class III hidden behind the license plate towing package with the electrical system for towing trailers with electric brakes was professionally installed for a safer towing of any kind of properly weight rated trailer.  The gas tank has a protecting plate. A  POWERFUL 12,000 Lbs. WARN winch was mounted on a specially designed steel bumper for this model and it is connected directly to a red top Optima battery.

It has the solid fiberglass double insulated top with the attachments already installed for a heavy duty luggage rack (included). All the hinges and hardware for the rear hatch work fine and are in good condition.

I tried to describe the vehicle condition to the best of my knowledge but if you have any questions just ask and I will respond as soon as I can. Thank you for bidding.

GM won't pay owners of recalled cars for lost value

Thu, 12 Jun 2014

Kenneth Feinberg, the man in charge of the General Motors compensation fund dealing with the its widespread ignition switch woes, has issued an informal, two-letter response to the plaintiffs in more than 70 lawsuits seeking redress for lost resale value of their Cobalts: "No." The cases were recently combined into one, but Feinberg told The Detroit News that the fund will deal "only with death and physical injury claims," and that "perceived diminished value" will get no consideration.
ALG, the firm specializing in establishing residual values, determined that Cobalt owners had lost $300 compared to the segment competition and doesn't envision any long-term effects from the recall situation. Feinberg's statement comes in advance of public details on how the compensation fund will work and adheres to GM's long-held position on the matter. The company has already asked a judge to throw out such suits using the pre-bankruptcy defense, even as it stopped using that defense in cases of injury and death.
With plenty of potential gain from the GM suit, however, don't expect the plaintiffs to give up yet. When Toyota was sued for the same reason during the unintended acceleration debacle, it eventually settled the case for between $1 billion and $1.4 billion just to get it over with. Since the 85 law firms involved in the Toyota litigation took home more than $250 million of that total, we shouldn't expect the attorneys to give up on a GM payout, either.

Meet Alex Archer, the engineer behind GM's power-sliding center console

Sat, Feb 15 2020

In 2009, a GM manager complained to a 59-year-old GM technician about the hassle of retrieving items from a pickup truck bed after driving shifted the cargo. In two days, the tech had come up with the ideas that, ten years later, would debut as the MultiPro tailgate. The engineering teams kept the tailgate secret in part by hiding mock-ups in a locked storage closet in GM's Vehicle Engineering Center in Warren Michigan for two years. A piece in the Detroit Free Press reveals that another storage closet in Warren would play the same role in a different cloak-and-dagger operation, this time for the power-sliding center console in GM's new full-sized SUVs. During a meeting in early 2017, bosses gave the job of the console's creation to 24-year-old design release engineer Alex Archer, just two years out of Stanford University with a degree in engineering and product design.  This time, the catalyst for the feature was an internal GM think tank called co:lab, where employees suggest ideas. Execs gave Archer the task because "They needed someone willing to ask a lot of questions," her 36-month mandate to produce a six-way console that could be a standard cubby or a gaping maw able to swallow four gallon jugs or hide a secret compartment. Clearly, she succeeded. It took Archer and the team nine months to devise a prototype, another six months to get the green light for production. As with the tailgate, the team working on the console grew to include designers, production engineers, and suppliers. Archer, now 26, shepherded the process, and her name is on the patent. "It took a ton of people, I'm just somebody who stuck with it the whole time," she said. GM like her work well enough to produce the "Day in the Life" segment above, five months before the world would hear about the console. Archer's path to engineering was as unlikely as getting the job for the console. She had entered Stanford with plans to be a doctor. But an innovation class during her freshman year, and a sophomore summer spent helping her grandfather rebuild a 1937 MG engine recharted her course. Her grandfather told her, "You know, you could be an engineer for a car company." Consumer reaction to Archer's work won't be far off, the SUVs slated to hit dealerships soon. Meanwhile, she's busy on something that could be just as intense as the console: Restoring a 1955 Packard Clipper in her garage. Head to Freep to check out the story of Archer and the console.
