1971 2wd Chevrolet Blazer Cst on 2040-cars
Middle Grove, New York, United States
Bought this ol' girl to cruise around and fix up a little over summer. Was originally selling to pay for expenses but everything is taken care of and now I wound up with a new Sierra so this has to go.
This is a factory 2WD as indicated by the VIN and a factory CST as indicated by the original build sheet. Originally a 350/350 truck. It was passed around between a father, a son and their best friend for about 25 years before I bought it. Painted in 1995, top was smoothed and painted with it. It now has a stock rebuilt 454 with a Turbo 400 automatic. Lowered with dropped a-arms and dropped coils front and dropped coils again out back, 3" front/4" rear. Black interior with CD player and a Lokar shifter with an LED shift indicator. Paint is really nice for being 19 years old, but has some small chips here or there. Top is in great condition and is actually a single wall top with tinted glass but unfortunately the rear hatch needs the hardware to lock it as well as the lever arms to lift it and keep it elevated. It has power brakes and power steering. Originally a CST truck, it still has the original build sheet and has 93k original miles. All hoses and belts have been replaced within the last 200 miles or so, the engine/transmission was serviced, the rear end was serviced, a new battery installed, new rear 4" drop coils, new Lokar floor shifter with the fancy LED shift Indicator system, stock rear seat armrests installed, new stock mirrors, a few misc lights replaced, new sill plates installed and some other small knick knacks. This blazer is a great cruiser that constantly turns heads and receives waves of compliments and thumbs up. The bad: Rear hatch requires hardware to lift and lock the hatch; There is a small amount of bubbling in the bottom of the doors that has remained the same for the last 10 years or so....you can see it in the pictures. The inside of the doors were POR 15'ed before the exterior were painted. What does she need? Really in order to drive and enjoy it...nothing. The blazer is by no means perfect, it is not a show vehicle. It'll need some more TLC from someone willing to spend some more time going through it. Feel free to ask questions and no I do not need help selling it. Recent additions - 7/28 New exhaust manifold gaskets, new MSD plug wires, new Bosch platinum spark plugs, new Chrome door handles, new Chrome exterior rear view mirrors, and new window to top seals. 518-867-6550 Blazer is sold as is, where is and as seen in the pictures which were taken 7/14/14. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements and I will be as flexible as humanly possible. |

The USPS needs 180,000 new delivery vehicles, automakers gearing up to bid
Wed, Feb 18 2015Winning the New York City Taxi of Tomorrow tender was a huge prize for Nissan, even though the company is still working through the process of claiming its prize. The United States Postal Service has begun the process to take bids for a new delivery vehicle to replace the all-too-familiar Grumman Long Life Vehicle, and that will be a much larger plum for the automaker who wins it, perhaps worth more than six billion dollars. The Grumman LLV is an aluminum body covering a Chevrolet S-10 pickup chassis and General Motors' Iron Duke four-cylinder engine. The USPS bought them from 1987 to 1994, and the 163,000 of them still in service are a monumental drain on postal resources: they get roughly ten miles to the gallon instead of the quoted 16 mpg, drink up more than $530 million in fuel each year, and their constant repair needs like the balky sliding door and leaky windshields have led the service to increase the annual maintenance budget from $100 million to $500 million. A seat belt is about as modern as it gets for safety technology, and the USPS says that assuming things stay the same, it can't afford to run them beyond 2017. Last year it put out two triage requests for proposals seeking 10,000 new chassis and drivetrains for the Grumman and 10,000 new vehicles. The LLV is also too small for the modern mail system in which package delivery is growing and letter delivery is declining. The service says it doesn't have a fixed idea of the ideal "next-generation delivery vehicles," but it listed a number of requirements in its initial request and is open to any proposal. Carriers have some suggestions, though, saying they want better cupholders, sun visors that they can stuff letters behind, a driver's compartment free of slits that can swallow mail, and a backup camera. The request for information sent to automakers pegs the tender at 180,000 vehicles that would cost between $25,000 and $35,000 apiece, and it will hold a conference on February 18 to answer questions about the contract. GM is the only domestic maker to avow an interest, while Ford and Fiat-Chrysler have remained cagey. Yet with a possible $6.3 billion up for grabs and some new vans for sale that would be advertised on every block in the country, we have a feeling everyone will be listening closely come February 18. We also have a feeling the LeMons series is going to be flooded with Grummans come 2017. News Source: Wall Street Journal, Automotive News - sub.
Body shop manager stole over $500,000 worth of government trucks and parts
Fri, Jan 27 2017The US Department of Justice announced yesterday that the manager of a collision and restoration business in Virginia admitted he helped misappropriate and sell vehicles and parts from the State Department. Specifically, he sold 12 Chevrolet Suburbans, a Hummer, and $7,500 worth of tires and wheels. He pled guilty to charges to commit theft of government property and wire fraud. He will likely see 18 to 20 months in prison, a fine of $4,000 to $40,000, and has already agreed to pay restitution of $416,020 and asset forfeiture of the same amount. According to the Department of Justice, the body shop manager, James Ratcliffe, worked with the owner of the business and a State Department official, both unnamed, to obtain the property. It started with the wheels and tires, which were delivered and sold on two occasions, one in 2011 and another in 2012. The trucks came later, and were sold throughout 2011 and 2013. Ratcliffe and the shop owner kept most of the profits, and shared some of the leftovers with the government official. In addition to the vehicles that were sold, the government official also gave Ratcliffe a pair of Suburbans for his own personal use. The Department of Justice estimated the total value of the SUVs at $96,400. In total, the group misappropriated $512,420 worth of property. Related Video:
GM's European Opel division may eventually go all-electric
Wed, Feb 15 2017General Motors' Opel division in Europe may transform itself into an all-electric vehicle maker by 2030. Granted, a lot can happen between now and then, including a potential buyout by French automaker PSA Group. Regardless, Opel appears to view its electric future beyond the Ampera-e, which is the sister vehicle to the Chevrolet Bolt, and more like Tesla. Opel CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann indicated that focusing on electric drivetrains would be a superior strategy to expanding its EV technology while pushing forward with conventional drivetrains, says Automotive News Europe, citing comments Neumann made to German publication Manager Magazin. General Motors could make the decision to move towards an all-electric vehicle line for Opel as soon as May. Of course, that depends on whether Opel is bought out by PSA, the parent country to Peugeot and Citroen. PSA is in talks to buy General Motors' Opel and Vauxhall divisions, though government and labor representatives in Germany have expressed concerns over potential job losses from the proposed buyout, Reuters says. Regardless, GM has hinted at expanding its electric-vehicle line far beyond the Bolt, which has a 238-mile single-charge range and debuted late last year. Mary Barra, in an interview with CNET, said the Bolt's all-electric platform could be applied to a "huge range of vehicles," though wasn't specific about additional EV models. Opel first showed off its Ampera-e at the Paris Motor Show last fall. The name of the model raised some eyebrows because the Ampera badge had been previously used by Opel for the sister version of the Chevrolet Volt extended-range plug-in. Either way, Opel is looking to take on Renault for electric-vehicle sales supremacy across the Pond. Related Video:
