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!

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

GM recalling 686k Lambda-platform models for hatch repair

Fri, Jul 10 2015

General Motors is recalling 686,287 units of its Lambda platform crossovers. On models equipped with a power rear hatch the system can potentially fail. This campaign includes the 2008-2012 Buick Enclave, 2009-2012 Chevrolet Traverse, 2007-2012 GMC Acadia, and 2007-2010 Saturn Outlook. According to GM's documents to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), dirt can get into a portion of the strut that holds up the hatch and cause the part to prematurely fail. There's a redundancy in place called the Prop Rod Recovery system that's designed to shut the liftgate if there's a malfunction. However, if the breakdown happens too quickly after the hatch is opened the prop rod might not work the way it's supposed to. If someone were in the way of the falling liftgate, they could be hurt. For the repair, dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit to prevent the hatch from closing so quickly. They'll also check the operation of the system afterward.

The affected vehicles, equipped with the power liftgate option, have gas struts that hold the power liftgate up when open. These struts may prematurely wear and the open liftgate may suddenly fall. CONSEQUENCE: If the open liftgate unexpectedly falls, it may strike a person, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will update the software for the power liftgate actuator motor control unit so that the motor will prevent the rapid closing of the lift gate, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule.
