1972 K5chevy Blazer on 2040-cars
Reynoldsburg, Ohio, United States
|
Honest 1972 Chevy Blazer driver door skin repaired early 80s. This truck is all original & has a very solid frame. I'm the 2nd owner. It's a super rare truck that is always going up in value and unless your neighbor next store has one you just don't see them very often....This truck is in need of some small amounts of sheet metal work in a few areas only. Some rust & bubbling in the paint not bad for a 41 year old truck. Driver door skin was replaced in the early 80's do to pulling up to close to a pay phone and could use work again being 30 years has past. Small rust area on passenger side front fender & driver side rear quarter up top has rust but only the outer sheet metal rusted off not rusted threw. Very honest & original truck frame,body panels,paint,& interior w/tach & a very desirable single wall top most people want over the double wall see all photos. Take a good look at this truck not much to do to get it all done without all the Chinese body panel parts . Some of these other Chevy Blazers you see selling for 25-30 thousand dollars you may or may not know what your getting. They look really nice! but you have to ask yourself do you really got an all American Classic or not . Don't be shy to ask the sellers for some before body and paint photos if your spending thousand of dollars on one . You may be surprised of what answers you'll get . The rocker panels ,rocker boxes, doors & windshield frame are most common to rust complicity out on these trucks. This truck still has them intact. The bottoms of the doors where your seeing the bubbling in the paint are also common areas for rust to start . As for the interior of this K5 its in great condition! The dash was never cut for an over sized radio/CD player to fit in the space of an older style AM radio that in itself is rare! most of the time they have been cut out to make them fit This old gal still has all the original seats & vinyl upholstery with NO rips or tares on the two front buckets or rear bench. As you see with these other Chevys online this also is a rare commodity. If they were easy to find seats they would be inside them 25-30 thousand dollar cars and some are but then some aren't. Floors are solid no rust holes at all, front windshield frame is also solid no rust there,driver & passenger side floor pans are also common to rust out . This blazer still has them in tact and just has some surface rust from moisture from the carpet. It also has the original carpet that needs replaced. I would suggest having the floors rhino lined so that you don't get the moister problems that caused the surface rust to start in the first place before a carpet replacement. It has a 4"lift but not hard to get into it sits head to head with the new GMC trucks hight. I didn't get around to fixing the exterior of the truck I focused mainly on the internal parts. This truck has a mild RVcam & edelbrock manifold with an edelbrock1408 carb & a hei distributor runs really good sounds nice! Also I've done rear drums,shoes,front rotors ,calipers,front pads,pitman arm, drag link inner & outer & new battery all in 2013. I wanted to be sure of the reliability of the truck as this trucks weight is a lot to have to push off the road. Unless your built like Arnold Schwarzenegger was in the 80's where this trucks stops is where it sits so it was important to me to be sure of its good running condition. Still has some good rubber on the tires around 80%. Also let me say that this is my weekend cruiser and milage will change as I still enjoy driving it on sunny days. This Chevy Blazer is being sold as is and the buyer will be responsible of pickup or shipping arrangements . I reserve the right to end this auction at any time do to it being for sale locally. This can be a great project for the upcoming winter months and needs to go to someone who has been looking for that all original Chevy K5 blazer. Act fast as these tend to go up in value in the spring. I feel I've got it priced right at the (buy it now price) as there is a little work that still needs done. It's under value at my reserve. So buy now and save and work on it at your own pace. The last photo you see in the listing is a completed and fully restored Chevy Blazer not the one for sale in this listing but this is how they look restored . If it don't sell then you'll see it in the spring as a completed project with a much higher price tag with before,during restoration & completion of work photos having no hidden body filler & new metal going in place as this old gal deserves it PAYMENTS: Will be non refundable $1000 dollar deposit do immediately at auction end with Paypal or bank wire and 7 days for the remaining balance to be paid in full. If you don't have the money on hand please do not bid I will report all no payers to Ebay inc. So happy bidding and enjoy the auction... |

GM profits threatened by glut of pickups
Wed, 05 Dec 2012Automotive News reports that General Motors may slash production or ramp up discounts in order to deal with an oversupply of pickup trucks. GM currently has more than double the standard supply of pickups, and the vehicles are threatening to dampen the automaker's profits for 2013. Typically, automakers try to sustain a 60- to 75-day supply of vehicles, but GM is currently loaded with a 139-day supply, as of last month. At the end of November, the automaker was sitting on 245,853 units.
The manufacturer says that it will adjust production accordingly before laying any incentives on the profitable pickups. Even so, there's some concern that the inventory swell could hurt the roll-out of the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. GM actually began slowly stepping back production in August, but it's clear the company will take further action as it heads toward the end of the year and into the next. Analysts predict the automaker could reduce pickup manufacturing by nearly half in the first quarter of 2013.
That still may not be enough to keep GM from laying extra cash on the Silverado and GMC Sierra. While the company's incentive spending was down in November compared to the same month in 2011, both the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150 saw double-digit percentage increases in sales last month while the Silverado and Sierra numbers slid compared to a year prior. Incentive spending could help move more trucks and add some balance to the GM inventory surge.
GM will recall 3.5 million pickups and SUVs to fix brake issue
Wed, Sep 11 2019WASHINGTON — General Motors Co is recalling 3.46 million U.S. pickup trucks and SUVs to address a vacuum pump issue that could make braking more difficult and increase the risk of a crash. The recall, which covers 2014-2018 model year vehicles, including some Cadillac Escalade, Chevrolet Silverado, Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Sierra, Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon vehicles, was triggered because the amount of vacuum created by the vacuum pump may decrease over time, GM told the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) in documents posted Wednesday. NHTSA opened a preliminary investigation into the issue in November 2018, and said it had reports of 9 crashes and two injuries related to the issue. It provided GM in July with additional field reports that prompted the automaker to open an investigation. The company did not immediately say on Wednesday how many injuries or crashes are linked to the issue but said it could impact braking in "rare circumstances." GM said dealers will reprogram the Electronic Brake Control Module with a new calibration that will improve how the system utilizes the hydraulic brake boost assist function when vacuum assist is depleted. GM said the vacuum assist pump, which is lubricated with engine oil that flows into the pump through a filter screen, can in some cases lose effectiveness over time, as debris such as oil sludge can accumulate on the filter screen. GM told NHTSA that prior model years used a different brake assist system design, and vehicles manufactured after 2018 were not equipped with the affected pump design. Recalls Chevrolet GM GMC
UAW to vote on strike at Kentucky Corvette plant
Tue, 08 Apr 2014The current wait time for a new Chevrolet Corvette Stingray is well, not short. With word of a strike at the Bowling Green, KY factory responsible for seventh-generation sports car, though, that wait time could end up growing substantially.
Now, a strike is still a ways off. UAW Local 2164, which represents the 800 workers responsible for screwing the Corvette together, is set to vote on authorizing a strike today, but even if the employees give the action a go, it's far from a sure thing. According to The Tennessean, both regional and national union officials would need to put their stamp of approval on strike action.
"The membership has to vote to strike, but it's just a step in the process," said Gary Casteel, the UAW's Region 8 director and one of the people that would need to authorize a strike action. Casteel told The Tennessean, "It's purely a local situation, though. They are having some issues with the local management."
