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 patent reveals new two-stage turbocharger

Fri, Jun 24 2016

Modern turbochargers may be some of the best ever made, but performance is something that engineers are always trying to improve. According to GM Inside News, General Motors (GM) is hoping to alleviate some of the negative aspects of a two-stage turbocharger setup with a newly-patented design. The patent, that was filed on May 19, 2016, reveals a clever bypass system that allows the engine, a four-cylinder unit, to optimize both the low-pressure and high-pressure inlets for its respective functions. According to the filing, a conventional two-stage turbocharger setup is engineered to allow both turbines to operate simultaneously at low and mid engine speeds. At high engine speeds, only the low-pressure turbine works. The setup can't isolate either the low or high pressure side, which can impair low-end performance. GM's new two-stage turbocharger setup looks to eliminate this by linking the high-pressure turbo to the exhaust manifold through the high-pressure inlet duct. The low-pressure turbo is attached to the high-pressure turbo by a low-pressure inlet duct, which is linked to a connecting channel. A single actuator that is housed in the exhaust manifold creates a bypass that can opens the high-pressure inlet or close the connecting channel. Depending on what the engine load and speed is, the ECU guides the actuator—a single rotating spindle with discs corresponding to flanges on the high and low pressure sides—to isolate one of the two turbos. Isolating the turbos allow the respective inlets to be engineered for the best possible fluid dynamic performance. The setup should increase performance and decrease lag. There's no word on what car this setup will make an appearance on, but it will most likely be used in premium vehicles before trickling down to the rest of GM's vehicles.

Why Cadillac thinks it needs to succeed in Europe to sell cars elsewhere

Tue, 26 Feb 2013

Ward's Auto has taken an interesting look at the renewed focus General Motors is showing towards Cadillac in Europe. Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet and Cadillac in Europe (pictured), says in order for the luxury brand to thrive in China, it first needs to succeed in the old country. The reason? Chinese buyers look to Europe for cues as to what's deemed worthy of the term "luxury." There are hurdles to the plan, however. In addition to the fact that the EU is flooded with high-end nameplates, GM doesn't necessarily have the distribution network in place to put buyers behind the wheel.
Combine that with persistent economic woes and Cadillac's checkered past marred by a lack of diesel engine options and a bankrupt distributor, and the road ahead for the brand looks like less of an uphill climb and more like a straight-up cliff face. But Docherty is optimistic and says she has a plan for the brand. We recommend heading over to Ward's for a closer look at the full read.

Dodge Challenger outsold Mustang, Camaro in third quarter of 2019

Fri, Oct 4 2019

The Dodge Challenger is nearly old enough to start driver's ed in some states, and it doesn't have a firm grasp on the increasingly crucial concept of downsizing, yet it beat the odds to become the most popular American two-door model during the third quarter of 2019. Its ballooning sales figures suggest buyers don't always want the latest, most advanced car they can get their hands on. Dodge sold 18,031 examples of the Challenger during the third quarter of 2019, a shocking 21% increase over the same period in 2018. It's a true muscle car, normally sardined in the same can as the Chevrolet Camaro and the Ford Mustang, a pair of smaller, nimbler two-doors that are much closer to the historic definition of a pony car. Semantics aside, the Mustang finished on the second spot of the sales podium with 16,823 sales, a 12.3% drop compared to the third quarter of 2018, and the Camaro took third with 12,275 sales, a 15% dip that alarmingly comes in the wake of two redesigns. More specific sales figures aren't available. We don't know what percentage of the sales mix V8s represent, or whether buyers prefer manual or automatic transmissions. The scoreboard looks different when we examine 2019's year-to-date figures. The Mustang takes first place with 55,365 sales, followed by the Challenger at 46,699, and the Camaro at 36,791. While the Challenger's recent ascent is encouraging, it can't mask the fact that two-door models no longer enjoy a favorable tailwind, and the entire segment — not just the American entries — is declining. The aforementioned year-to-date figures are down by 10.1, 11, and 7.6 percent, respectively. The third-quarter statistics revealed a handful of other surprises unrelated to the world of performance. Dodge notably sold three examples of the Dart, a sedan it hasn't built since 2016. That's a 93% drop compared to the 45 units that found a home during the third quarter of 2018.
