1972 was the last year of the First Generation Blazers. As such this truck has the desirable fully removable top leaving only the wind in your hair. This double walled top is in good condition for its age all of the glass is there without any chips cracks or scratches. The back latch lifts up easily and stays up. the new weather stripping all around keeps the elements out. 


The engine is an economical yet still powerful 307 SBC with a reliable 2 barrel carb on a duel plane manifold. It starts up easily every time and has a deep lumpy great sounding idle thanks to Flowmaster exhaust with brand new pipes. The ignition is a GM HEI Distributor with new Cap and Rotor & 7mm wires and new Accel shorty header Sparkplugs. 

The Trasmission in a Turbo TH350 with a new filter, and chrome pan and new gasket. it dose not leak here. Only leaking issue with this truck is the slight ATF leak that is coming from the back of the tranny where it joins the NP205 Transfer Case, it is currently missing the gasket there. Although I have purchased the gasket  and O-ring kit and it will come with the truck, I have not been able to install it yet. This leak dose not affect the driveability much of the truck, rather it is just annoying to me. The transfer case if fulled with Amsoil Synthetic gear lube, as is the rear end, which also recently got a new gasket and dose not leak.

The inner Fender wells were removed for better access to the engine bay in the pictures. They will be re-installed before pick up.

Other parts recently replaced: 
  • New 22 gal Fuel Tank with new Sending Unit. As you may know these tanks eventualy can rust out and leak, this one is brand new from Brothers, and is painted with truck bed liner on the outside to prevent scratching. The dash Fuel Gauge dosn't work so it will need to be replaced.
  • New Brakes all the way around. Front disk with new Pads and Rotors with rebuild Calipers professionally installed. Rear Drums have fresh pads and rebuilt kit with a well functioning Parking Brake.
  • New Idiot 5 position Tilt Steering Column, with a new style safe colapesable Intermediate Link and a rebuilt Stearing Box all profesionaly installed. It steers smoothly and has a very tight turning radius, lock to lock under power with no grinding at all.
  • New exaust pipes hooked up to Flowmasters, it sounds great!!
  • New stock sized Shocks at all 4 wheels.  This truck has a 3 inch body lift which makes it easy to get under an service when needed. 
  • New interior Vinyl Floor Mat in the cab area.  The rest of the truck's  interior has been coated with Rustolium Truck bed liner to provide years of service.
  • New windsiled wipers, and the Winshield Wiper motor works well on High and Low speeds.
The Good: Basically this truck is good to go. It starts, runs, drives, steers, and stops well. Good street & trails driver but a little slow on the highways. All head lights and running lights work. Most of the Fluids have been recently changed, including new ATF, Brake Fluid, Oil, Amsoil Synthetic Gear Lube for Transfer case and Rear end.
 Interior is in good shape ready for people to enjoy. Very comfortable. Tilt Steering helps out allot! All the windows roll up with a little effort. Doors shut solid. Weather stripping is new. Seats are in great shape. Chrome trim all around you. I put in some water resitant seat covers which have multiple zipper and velcro pockets on the sides and in the back for all your needs. Rear Vinyl seat is in decent shape with only a small tear on the arm rest in the back. No rips in the rear seat itself. Over all the White top is in great shape for its age! But the rear Hatch Latch dose not Lock.

Lots of Chrome: Chrome Door Threshold and Still Plates. Solid Chrome Bumpers front and back. Chrome Driver side Mirror. New Chrome wheel trim on all 4. Chrome Transmission Pan. Good Tires. plenty of tread on 33's. Subtle 3" lift kit makes it a nice head turner and easy to work underneath. Clean Title.

The Bad: Some minor elecricals like; Dash Fuel Gauge dosn't work. Some Dash light are out. No Horn Button. The Heating and AC Ducts have been taken out cus they were stinky and filled with 40 years of dust, these need to be replaced. The Heater and AC Fan dosn't work, and the origonal AC has been taken out by the previous owner not me....But Who needs it anyways just have a few guys help you take the top off and enjoy the sun and wind! Annoying ATF leak..needs gasket installed behind the transfer case adaptor which is included in sale.
Some minor body scratches, on the passeger side. Some body rot in the driver side rear quater panel. A little rust on the bottoms of the doors. Tailgate has a dent just below the Rear latch. See the pictures to tell for yourself. This is my best honest assesment of this truck. I regret selling it but it needs to go, family is expanding.

Nissan Leaf has 2nd-best sales month ever, Chevy Volt does a 2013 repeat [UPDATE]

Tue, Apr 1 2014

UPDATE: The official press release says that "Volt [sales were] up 7 percent," but Randy Fox let AutoblogGreen know that this is simply due to a change in the fleet/retail mix between March 2013 and 2014. The actual number sold was exactly the same in the two months. A month ago, Nissan's director of EV sales and marketing, Toby Perry, said he expected to see the Leaf's sales momentum continue into March. It wasn't a big leap, since January and February were slow sales months in 2013 (around 640 each) before a big climb to 2,200 in March. In 2014, the first two months of the year were better (around 1,300 each) but Nissan can still be happy that the Leaf just had the best March ever and its second-highest sales month ever, with 2,507 sold. That's a 12.1 percent increase from 2013 and Perry said in a statement to AutoblogGreen that one reason is all of the buyers who are becoming evangelists for the vehicle. "We've also seen an increase in showroom traffic as we enhanced our marketing presence in March," he said. Nissan pointed to cities like Washington, DC, Raleigh-Durham, NC and urban areas in Texas as strong Leaf markets last month. On the Chevy Volt front, January and February were also slow months in 2014, down roughly half from the 2,000-ish the plug-in hybrid was selling at the end of 2013. For 2014, sales were up slightly from the first two months of the year and Chevy spokesman Randy Fox told AutoblogGreen that the March number was "pretty flat, year-over-year." Even with that warning, we were surprised to see the total come in at 1,478. Why's that? Because the total for March 2013 was ... 1,478. So, yeah, that's pretty steady even if there were 26 selling days in March period this year compared to 27 last year. As always, our more complete report of last month's green car sales will be coming soon. News Source: General Motors, Nissan Green Chevrolet GM Nissan Electric Hybrid PHEV ev sales

What we know, and think we know, about the 2016 Chevy Volt

Wed, Aug 13 2014

With the next-gen Chevy Volt due to make an appearance at the Detroit Auto Show early next year, bits and pieces about the new car are making their way into the press. Perhaps most importantly, the new Volt is going to have better "fuel economy and efficiency," according to GM executive vice president Mark Reuss. The current Volt gets 98 MPGe and 37 miles per gallon on premium fuel. It also has a 38-mile electric-only range. We don't know how GM will improve the efficiency or to what degree, but the logical options include making the car lighter, giving it better aerodynamics and/or improving the powertrain. To that end, one of the big things we don't know for sure includes information on the new gas-powered engine. Forbes says it will be a downsized 1.0-liter, three-cylinder mill instead of the 1.4-liter, four-cylinder used in the current model, which could certainly help the car be more efficient. The new Volt is also going to have more technology, which shouldn't surprise anyone. GM is now openly talking about how it will change the way it markets the Volt, shifting away from the mass-market mentality to focus on the regions where the car is already popular. "There's a Northeast and West Coast market for Volt, and there's nothing wrong with that," Chevy chief marketing officer Tim Mahoney told Forbes. There are rumors that the new Volt will have seating for five by adding a seat in the back. This is something a lot of current Volt owners would love, but we've heard nothing official hinting that this would be the case. We expect the battery to be the new 17.1-kWh version, or maybe even have a capacity increase, so GM would have to seriously repackage the pack to eliminate the ridge that runs from between the front seats and then back to the rear two seats. If you've heard anything official, do let us know.

Opel Ampera-e brings a Bolt of EV driving to Europe

Fri, Feb 12 2016

The Chevrolet Bolt will take a trip across the Atlantic in 2017 to become Europe's Opel Ampera-e. General Motors won't release any specs for the foreign version yet, but these photos suggest very minor styling tweaks to the upper level of the grille and to the hatchback to add the appropriate brand emblems. We would expect the same electric motor with 200 horsepower and 266 pound-feet of torque and 60-kWh battery as the US model, too. However, the 200-mile range number might change, but only because of the differences in European testing. GM CEO Mary Barra announced the Ampera-e at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany. "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility. The game-changing technology of the Ampera-e is a significant step toward realizing that vision," she said. The Ampera-e is also proof that General Motors loves confusing naming for its green models. If the Volt and Bolt aren't perplexing enough, the Ampera-e is just one letter off from the Ampera – the previous-gen Volt in Europe. GM no longer sells the range-extended vehicle there, so at least both names can't be in showrooms simultaneously. However, the similar monikers still might confuse some customers who think the new EV hatchback is closely related to the old sedan. Related Video: OPEL GROUP ANNOUNCES GAME-CHANGING AMPERA-e BATTERY ELECTRIC CAR New battery electric vehicle will break down barriers to electric mobility Five-door, five-seat Ampera-e will have longer range than most electric cars Fun to drive, outstanding connectivity and affordably priced Russelsheim. Opel Group will launch a revolutionary new battery electric car next year, as the company continues the biggest, most far-reaching model offensive in its history with 29 new models between 2016 and 2020. The new five-door, five seat will be called "Ampera-e". It will not only have a longer range on a full charge than most electric cars, it will also be affordably priced. Building on the electrification expertise established with the original Ampera, which set the benchmark for modern electric cars in 2011, the new Ampera-e combines innovative electric-mobility with state-of-the-art connectivity and exciting driving dynamics. Announcing the Ampera-e today at the CAR Symposium in Bochum, Germany, GM Chairman & CEO Mary Barra said: "GM and Opel have always been convinced that electric cars will play a defining role in future mobility.
