1972 K5 Blazer - Back Yard Find! on 2040-cars
Escondido, California, United States
1972 Chevy K5 Blazer - Backyard Find! I have for sale a 1972 K5 Blazer that I just found in a back yard in San Diego… It was sitting there since 2006. It has most of the original parts that match the Glove box tag and VIN. The K5 is original Olive Green “CST” with correct motor and undercarriage. It does have a lift of approx. 4.5 “and retains the original Rally Wheels and Olive green interior. As you can see from the pictures the truck was stored outside in San Diego weather it did not hurt it much. There is a rust area above the gas cap and that is about the only area that I see. The rockers are solid as well as the fenders and A pillars, no rust in the bed behind the wheels. The suspension has a 4” lift and double shock front as well as double shock steering set up. The back window glass and hatch latch assembly is missing. I took pictures of the undercarriage and all looks to have been restored at some time due to no grease / grime on any of the parts. The engine bay is missing the Air Cond system and the distributor wiring loom has been spliced so I think a ignition wiring harness would need to be replaced… all other wires are connected and in the right locations. I got the engine running using a separate gasoline source and a 750 Holley I had laying around (the Edelbrock carb was not functioning) … so it does run (see video link). I put into gear and she went right into reverse and drive no problem, and the front axle hubs turned effortlessly. Truck is being sold “As Is” where is… These trucks are starting to go up in price.... why not start with one that doesn't need 5K worth of work to be nice.... just your laboe to clean up! Pls check out all the pictures and email with any questions. I have the pink slip in hand. I have the tires aired up, and can help with transportation coordination, pictures etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfgy4g4jFo4&feature=youtu.be Thanks for taking a look and Good Luck bidding! |

Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
Chevrolet Captiva looks mildly refreshed and ready for family duty
Tue, 05 Mar 2013We showed you Chevrolet's major debut yesterday, the 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible, but General Motors is making a big push for Bowtie consideration in Europe, so it's also introducing the updated Captiva crossover here at the Geneva Motor Show.
While still based on the same platform as North America's fleet-only Captiva Sport (which is effectively a rebadged Saturn Vue), the Captiva is available in both five- and seven-seat iterations, and it looks far more modern. That's particularly the case with this updated model, which features revamped front- and rear ends that include restyled bumpers, grilles and LED taillamps, among other changes.
As before, the midsize Theta-platform CUV will be available in both front- and all-wheel drive, and is expected to carry a range of four- and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. Important US programming note: Chevrolet sources tell us that America's Captiva Sport will not receive these updates.
GM recalling 521,817 cars in two campaigns
Tue, May 12 2015General Motors is issuing two, separate recalls covering a total of 521,817 vehicles worldwide. The larger campaign covers 468,887 units of the 2011-2012 Chevrolet Malibu. Specifically, 437,045 of these are in the US, and the rest are outside the country. In these sedans, a steel cable that connects the seat belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate. GM knows of 36 claims about the problem but only one minor injury. According to The Detroit News, this happened when a taxi driver hit his head. To fix things, dealers will replace the "outboard lap mounting bracket," which will move the tensioner rearward. They'll also inspect and if necessary replace the steel cable and lap pretensioner. In the second campaign, 52,930 examples the 2015 Chevy Colorado and 2015 GMC Canyon have seat frame attachment hooks that were installed incorrectly during assembly. GM hasn't received any reports of crashes, injuries, or fatalities about this problem. Dealers will inspect the affected trucks and repair as necessary. GM spokesperson Alan Adler told Autoblog that he didn't yet have a specific date when affected owners would receive official mailings about either of these recalls. GM Statement General Motors is recalling 48,309 2015 model year Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize pickup trucks in the U.S. because certain seat frame attachment hooks were not properly attached to the vehicle body during assembly. Dealers will inspect the potentially affected seats for proper installation and repair if necessary. GM knows of no crashes, injuries or fatalities related to this condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 52,930 including 4,620 vehicles sold in Canada. General Motors is recalling 437,045, 2011-2012 model year Chevrolet Malibus in the U.S. because the flexible steel cable that connects the safety belt to the vehicle can fatigue and separate over time as a result of occupant movement in the seat. Dealers will replace the outboard lap mounting bracket to relocate the tensioner slightly rearward. Dealers will inspect the cable and, if necessary, replace the lap pretensioner. GM knows of 36 claims, no crashes or fatalities and one minor injury reportedly related to the condition. The total vehicle population of the recall is 468,887 including Canada, Mexico and exports.
