1971 K/5 Chevy Blazer, 89 K actual miles, very good condition.


This very unique Blazer was purchased new at Ed Black Chevrolet in Albuquerque, NM and has spent it's entire life in the mild, dry, high desert climate of  NM.  I purchased this Blazer 14 years ago from a retired Cadillac tech who owned and carefully maintained the vehicle for 28 years.

There is virtually no rust anywhere on the vehicle.  This includes common problem areas such as floor pans, kick panels, doors, rocker panels, firewall, tailgate, windshield frame, fenders, rear quarter panels, etc.

The body is in very good condition and is very straight.  It was repainted once in the original color and still has a nice gloss.  There are stone chips on some of the lower body panels and there are 3 very small imperfections (dings?) on the body that can only be seen in a certain light.  There is also damage to the right rear fender by the tail lamp which I have taken a picture of.  There was a CB antenna on the driver's side rear quarter.  It was removed and plugged.  The body work was not perfect and the repair is visible.
Although not perfect, the body looks very nice.

The removable top is double wall construction and is in excellent condition.  There are no cracks in the top or lift gate.
The interior is very clean and is in great shape.  The seats are very nice with no rips or tears.  The dash pad is not cracked.  The carpet is clean and is in good condition.  There are no speaker holes cut in the interior metal.  All gauges, lights, switches, radio, etc., work as they should.

The vehicle has the original factory power train.  The engine is a 350, 4 BL Q jet, 4 bolt main, engine code: V1209TBG,  and is in excellent condition.  It starts easy, has no unusual mechanical noises, and runs great.  The transmission is a 350 Turbo that shifts smoothly and has been serviced regularly.  The transfer case is a NP 205 that shifts into all ranges, is quiet and has been serviced regularly.  The rear end is tight and does not clunk or howl.  The front hubs are Warn premium locking hubs.  I have the original blue tab hubs that will go with the vehicle.

The steering , brakes, and suspension are all in good working order.  The vehicle steers straight and does not wander on the road. The brakes do not pull, squeak, or shudder. 
 
It has a new set of 31x10.50R 15 LT tires that have less 1000 miles.

Over all, this is an exceptional vehicle that hasn't been modified, has very low miles, and has the original power train.   It is dependable, quick, and fun to drive.  It doesn't act it's age.

Blazers like this are becoming very hard to find!

Porsche wins the 2015 24 Hours of Le Mans

Sun, Jun 14 2015

The question going into this year's 24 Hours of Le Mans was whether or not the Porsche 919 Hybrid would be able to combine its qualifying pace with race reliability. After battling neck-and-neck with Audi's R18 for most of the race, the answer is a resounding yes. Not only did Porsche drivers climb the first two spots on the podium, they did so without any major mishaps on track. This win is the first overall trophy for Porsche since 1998. Audi previously won the last five races, and 13 of the last 15. Corvette also returned to the winner's circle, with the No. 64 C7.R taking winning the GTE Pro division. The victory is the first class win for Corvette since 2011. KCMG won the LMP2 class in ninth overall. With 45 minutes to go the No. 98 Aston Martin crashed out of first place in GTE Amateur, giving the class win to SMP Racing's Ferrari and second place to the Patrick Dempsey Racing Porsche 911 RSR. For the full list of official results, click here. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. For most of the race, the battle at the top went back and forth between the two German manufacturers. An tire puncture in the No. 7 Audi gave up the lead to Porsche, and moments later a crash forced the No. 8 into the garage. But a three-minute replacement of the front and rear bodywork kept the Audi in contention. As the race wore into the night, Porsche maintained a slightly faster pace than Audi. Nick Tandy took the lead on Lap 253 early Sunday morning, and car No. 19 never gave up the top position. The win is the first for all three drivers of the No. 19 – Nico Hulkenberg, Earl Bamber, and Nick Tandy. A lap behind in second was the No. 17 Porsche. The Audis fought reliability problems late in the race but still finished third with the No. 7 R18. The GTE Pro class proved to be just as exciting as the P1 class, with a four-way battle for first after four hours into the race. As the Aston Martin cars dropped away, the lone Corvette Racing entry took over, followed by a charging AF Corse team Ferrari 458 Italia. The Corvette and Ferrari continued to trade places in the final hours until gearbox trouble forced the No. 51 Ferrari out of contention. It was eventually passed by the other AF Corse car, No. 71. Nissan experienced all the pain of a first-year effort with its front-wheel-drive GT-R LM Nismo.

Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards

Fri, 22 Feb 2013

The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

Corvette Stingray Shooting Brake under consideration by Callaway [w/poll]

Mon, 18 Mar 2013

Callaway has released a few renderings of a design study for a shooting brake version of the C7 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. The company says it wants to create a long-roof version of America's sports car to offer buyers more interior room and a vehicle with "unique style." The company says it will use structural carbon fiber for the new body bits, which suggests the conversion shouldn't add too much more weight to the Corvette. Along with a few mechanical tweaks, the Callaway Corvette Stingray AeroWagon could breeze past the 200 miles per hour barrier.
Provided that they get enough interest, Callaway estimates they will be able to effect the changes on the Chevrolet for around $15,000, and says the conversion work should be available through its network of dealers. You can check out the brief press release below for more information, or head over to the Callaway site to plunk down a deposit - but before you do, we want to know... do you find this C7 wagon interesting?
