What we have here is perhaps the most beautiful, un-mollested, straight, fire engine red Chevy Blazer you will ever see. This number matching truck is a true California car, built at the Fremont plant, owned and lived in California all her life.
The Blazer also has the "R" code meaning she has her original 400ci, 175hp power plant. This is the torque monster if you need to tow your boat. I can not be 100% sure but I would guess that the engine has been rebuilt at some point because of the high compression as tested. The car runs excellent as the carb was fully rebuilt 50 miles ago. The compression checked out high and the drivetrain needs nothing. Transmission shifts smoothly as you would expect. Let me start with the vehicle itself. I acquired the Blazer on trade for several new mattresses I provided for an elderly couple that had just bought a new home that more fit they're slower lifestyle, According to the 65 year old husband, he bought the car back in the mid eighties for tailgating at SF 49er games. He said to me, and I have no reason to doubt him, that the car has never left a paved road! There are no visual signs of the car ever having been lifted or set up for mud. When I painted the car, there were no dents. There is no bondo on this car that I know of as the previous paint was clearly dent-free faded original white factory paint! The truck was then stripped and a two-stage $7500 paint job was put on the car, including the coding of the engine bay, jambs, and interior. The color that was chosen was a factory Chevy Victory red, the same red you will find on later Blazers and Vette's. We decided against the correct factory red for 1977 because it was an orangish, dull mess. The true, fire-engine red of the later Chevy's pop like a Ferrari as you can see in the detailed pics I've included. The truck looks immaculate and will get thumbs ups everywhere you go. The chrome is bright and straight. Perhaps my emotional favorite aspect of this blazer are the factory rally's. They are five of the original 4x4 wide wheels with new beauty rings and tires. They make the car look as if it was just bought from the local dealer! The wheel set alone would fetch you $2.4k if you were to sell them to buy oversize wheels. A custom lockable rear hitch carrier is implemented to free up rear space inside the car. Also included (but not mounted) is a very nice powder coated roll bar that you can use or sell depending on what your final use is. I wanted to truck to be as close to stock as possible so I chose not to have it mounted back after the new carpet kit was installed but again, it will be included in the sale for you to do with it what you want. The roll bar can be mounted with the rear seat intact. The top and truck bed were both armour-plated with black bed-liner to provide years of tough protection. Let me provide a list to you of everything that is new on the truck. carburetor exhaust system tires grill mirror carpet weatherstripping (most) seat covers roll bar (optional) signal covers door handles floor mats spare tire rack (with key) windshield I've put about $10k into this sweet blazer over the past year to get her to where she is now. Don't you dare miss this one. Feel free to call me at 510 432 0500 to ask any questions or to set up a drive if you are local. |

Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon get updated tachometers due to graphical error
Sun, Feb 8 2015After James Bearing bought a Chevrolet Colorado, he noticed a discrepancy between the truck's spec sheet and the truck's tachometer: Chevrolet said 3.6-liter V6 in the little pickup produces 305 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, but the the tachometer indicates a redline at 6,500 rpm. So either he wasn't making as much power as he was promised, or the tachometer display was incorrect. Bearing said he asked Chevy about it but got no response. Until now. A General Motors spokesman said the rev limiter is indeed set for 6,800 rpm, but the tach graphics "are slightly off" in the Colorado and the GMC Canyon, and submitted an SAE horsepower certification to back him up. If you're wondering how such a thing got past quality control... well, let's just say you're not alone. GM is going to fix "the graphics on future trucks," which makes it sound like Bearing will just have to learn to live with the indicated redline he's got. He could always pretend he's driving a sleeper, with four more ponies waiting to be unlocked in the danger zone for those who dare.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]
Thu, 07 Feb 2013For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
