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... |

Chevy Spark EV could be coming to Midwest later this year
Tue, Jun 10 2014Ohio is not known as a hotbed of EV sales – if anything, the state is a bit anti-EV, thanks to a legislative fight against Tesla's direct sales model – but it might be on Chevrolet's short list to expand the market for the Spark EV in the near future. The latest official GM press release on the battery-powered Spark still says the car is "available exclusively in California and Oregon," but Hybrid Cars found four Ohio dealerships that list a Spark EV on their websites, with hints the the car will be coming to the Midwest state by the end of the summer. See, for example, here, here, here and here. But that's probably not going to happen, according to Randy Fox, GM communication's manager for passenger cars. Fox told AutoblogGreen that, "At this point in time, we don't have any official plans to expand the Spark EV beyond California and Oregon." The reason is that California and Oregon have the infrastructure to support EVs, Fox said, and GM wants to be able to support its EV customers. "We are continuing to look at other options," he said. "The selling point for electric cars today is not advertising, it's eyeballs, it's peer exposure" – John O'Dell John O'Dell, a senior editor at Edmunds.com, told AutoblogGreen that, "It makes sense for [GM] to expand sales and it makes sense to do it in a quiet manner, to get these vehicles on the road. The selling point for electric cars today is not advertising, it's eyeballs, it's peer exposure. If someone in my neighborhood has one and he likes it, then maybe I can trust him. So it's important to get these vehicles on the road." Chevy sold 182 Spark EVs last month, a significant increase over the 98 sold in April. That's still small potatoes compared to the 3,000+ Nissan Leaf EVs sold last month, but making the electric Spark available in Ohio, say, or GM's home state of Michigan could boost those numbers. AutoblogGreen called a few dealerships in Michigan to see what they had heard. One salesman said he didn't think GM had started production yet but the inventory manager for another dealership said the Spark EV is scheduled to arrive in the Midwest in "roughly the fourth quarter." What would GM's incentive be to offer the car in markets outside of California where it can gain ZEV credits with each sale?

Fullsize GM SUVs have a problem that's making owners sick
Thu, Dec 31 2015Some fullsize SUV owners are getting sick, thanks to a buffeting and vibration problem in 2015 model year examples of the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban, Cadillac Escalade, and GMC Yukon. According to owners' complaints to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the issue can vary from an annoying vibration inside the cabin to an experience so severe that it leads to dizziness and headaches. General Motors is aware of the complaints, but the fix isn't so simple. According to spokesperson Tom Wilkinson to Autoblog, the company "has been tracking this issue for a while." The problem has a fairly low incidence rate, but when it does occur the issue can be "uncomfortable and annoying for owners." There's no precise cause for the issue, Wilkinson claims, and in some cases, simply balancing the tires or changing the door seals can make it go away. However, not all of the fixes are so simple. AutoGuide dug deep into the problem and discovered a GM preliminary information bulletin that advised dealers to remove the headliner and to check the roof's bonds to the bows that go across the vehicle. However, that document included a note that the solution might not entirely eliminate things. According to AutoGuide, adding Dynamat insulation to the roof sometimes helped the problem. A GM spokesperson also told AutoGuide the company fixed the problem at the end of the 2015 model year, and didn't go into any more detail. This roof issue seems linked to some of the worst droning in these SUVs. According to one complaint from a 2015 Suburban owner to NHTSA: "Roof will not remain attached to the roof bows. This causes the buffeting similar to a window being down when all are up. The results span from annoying to painful." A 2015 Yukon owner claims to have another alleged cause for the problem in a NHTSA complaint from February 2015. This person brought their SUV to the dealer seven times over the course of four weeks for vibrations. The dealer replaced the driveshaft, suspension components, and more, but nothing worked. According to an engineer to the service adviser: "In an effort to prevent roll overs, they designed the frame and body mounts too stiff. There are 40 engineers working on issues, they have no solutions that work across the board." Wilkinson told Autoblog that GM is working with customers on an individual basis to rectify things. Since these are newer vehicles, dealers should also fix the problem under warranty.
