1977 Chevrolet Blazer Clean Restoration. Excellent. Never Off-roaded Barn Find on 2040-cars
Oakland, California, United States
|
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. |

Cadillac CT6 production ceases January 2020 as part of D-Ham layoffs
Fri, Dec 6 2019General Motors filed paperwork under the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act with Michigan's Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity this week, detailing events to come at the automaker's Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Starting February 28, 814 salaried and hourly workers at D-Ham, as its called, will be laid off. The 753 workers represented by the UAW will begin receiving offers in January to relocate to facilities in Michigan and Ohio, or buyout offers. As the 4-million-square-foot plant winds down through April 3 to a skeleton crew, the Cadillac CT6 ceases production in January 2020, and the last Chevrolet Impala comes off the line on February 28. The loss of the CT6 represents the end of Cadillac's latest brief, and highly regarded, adventure into flagship sedans. It might also mean the end of the 4.2-liter Blackwing twin-turbo V8 engine, at least for the moment. Both casualties are calamities. The death of the Impala closes the door on a nameplate in production for 52 years since 1957, having started off as a top-tier trim for the 1958 Bel Air known as the Bel Air Impala, once advertised with the line, "Lets you know you're the boss." As part of the new four-year labor agreement with the UAW, GM is keeping D-Ham open to build a new line of battery-electric vehicles, ultimately investing $3 billion and tripling employment to 2,225 workers when fully operational. The agreement described the coming EV as a "van" that would commence production in late 2021, but various reports say what's actually coming is a range of premium EVs in pickup and SUV bodystyles under the program codename BT1. The easy predictions put an electric GMC Sierra and Cadillac Escalade among the EV fold, but not until 2023, according to auto industry forecaster LMC Automotive. Before that, LMC claims an electric van will debut in late 2021, along with a battery-powered rebirth of the Hummer brand in pickup and SUV forms, also in late 2021.Â
Chevy Sonic shreds like a skateboard
Tue, 19 Mar 2013Despite the fact that the 2013 Chevy Sonic is a fun, plucky little thing - especially in ever-so-slightly hotter RS guise - it is not, in fact, a skateboard. But don't tell that to rapper Theophilus London.
In General Motors' latest spot for the Chevrolet compact, London needs to make a quick run to the store for some milk. And even though, once again, the Sonic is not a skateboard, it ollies, pops and gets air because, you know, it's just so much fun to throw around.
If this video looks familiar to you, it's because this is the full ad that we first got a preview of in Chevy's longer, full-line spot, where the brand's "Find New Roads" tagline was introduced. Scroll down to see this dedicated Sonic spot, along with the older ad, and remember, the Sonic is still - still - not a skateboard.
Here are a few of our automotive guilty pleasures
Tue, Jun 23 2020It goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. The world is full of cars, and just about as many of them are bad as are good. It's pretty easy to pick which fall into each category after giving them a thorough walkaround and, more important, driving them. But every once in a while, an automobile straddles the line somehow between good and bad — it may be hideously overpriced and therefore a marketplace failure, it may be stupid quick in a straight line but handles like a drunken noodle, or it may have an interior that looks like it was made of a mess of injection-molded Legos. Heck, maybe all three. Yet there's something special about some bad cars that actually makes them likable. The idea for this list came to me while I was browsing classified ads for cars within a few hundred miles of my house. I ran across a few oddballs and shared them with the rest of the team in our online chat room. It turns out several of us have a few automotive guilty pleasures that we're willing to admit to. We'll call a few of 'em out here. Feel free to share some of your own in the comments below. Dodge Neon SRT4 and Caliber SRT4: The Neon was a passably good and plucky little city car when it debuted for the 1995 model year. The Caliber, which replaced the aging Neon and sought to replace its friendly marketing campaign with something more sinister, was panned from the very outset for its cheap interior furnishings, but at least offered some decent utility with its hatchback shape. What the two little front-wheel-drive Dodge models have in common are their rip-roarin' SRT variants, each powered by turbocharged 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. Known for their propensity to light up their front tires under hard acceleration, the duo were legitimately quick and fun to drive with a fantastic turbo whoosh that called to mind the early days of turbo technology. — Consumer Editor Jeremy Korzeniewski Chevrolet HHR SS: Chevy's HHR SS came out early in my automotive journalism career, and I have fond memories of the press launch (and having dinner with Bob Lutz) that included plenty of tire-smoking hard launches and demonstrations of the manual transmission's no-lift shift feature. The 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder was and still is a spunky little engine that makes the retro-inspired HHR a fun little hot rod that works quite well as a fun little daily driver.
