1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne. Original 2 wheel drive with removable top. This is a solid Texas truck with very minimal rust in the lower rear wheel wells. Has a 350 with Edlebrock intake and 3 speed auto transmission. Air conditioning works and was refreshed last year. Strong running truck that I drive in the Florida heat everyday with no problems. All lights and signals work.

All the following was done within the past year: New harmonic balancer, new MSD distributor, new plugs & wires, new Interstate battery with 6 year warranty, rebuilt Quadrajet carb, front and rear brakes, rebuilt rear window motor, new rear window cable, new Flowmaster 40 series full exhaust with stainless pipes. New rear axle bearings and rear end grease. Lowered with DJM dropped spindles and springs with Belltech shocks. C notched rear has been professionally welded in place. I have receipts and invoices for all the parts. And photos of all the work.

I purchased this truck from an elderly gentleman who moved to Florida from Texas. The story was that he got it from a couple in Oklahoma where it was stored in a barn. They stored the truck in a barn after it was recovered from being stolen. Later, someone pulled out in front of him and the front passenger fender and the corner of the front bumper took the hit. I had an original 79 GM front fender hung and straightened out the core support. The fender has some lower rust, but we cut the old fender and saved it for the repair patch. Haven't gotten around to welding it on, and didn't figure we would be able to match the paint, so we left it for the time being. Replaced the front bumper, bumper support, grille, and both headlight bezels. I have extra emblems and a replacement gauge bezel.

This truck gets a lot of attention and is very reliable. There aren't very many original 2 wheel drive "Round Eye" Blazers left. And even less that are this solid.

You can reach me at 813-666-9033 with any questions. I have the Florida title in hand, in my name. I reserve the right to end the auction early. And of course this is an AS-IS sale. No returns. Thanks, Gary.

GM cutting production at two plants

Thu, Feb 26 2015

General Motors is continuing to adjust to excess supply of some of its brands' models. To get production more in line with the vehicles' actual demand, the automotive giant is idling two of its factories in North America in the coming months. The Orion Assembly plant is going to be down from March 9-13, according to an anonymous plant worker and another insider speaking to Automotive News. The factory builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, but there are plenty of both models sitting on dealer lots, including 216 days worth of Sonics, according to AN. The factory already had two idle periods announced to reduce the excess. In addition, downtime is scheduled at GM's "Flex" line at the Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, plant from April 13-17. This affects supply of the Chevrolet Camaro, Impala, Buick Regal and Cadillac XTS. Among them, the automotive giant has the largest supply of Regals ready for dealers with 213 days worth of them, according to AN. The future for the whole Oshawa factory is cloudy in general, though. There are rumors that it could close entirely in the future because the Camaro is leaving and the Regal and XTS might not last much longer than 2017. The Canadian government and the labor union there intend to put up a fight, though.

GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.

Hot air balloons caught in high winds drag fullsize SUV

Mon, Jul 20 2015

A sudden storm front whipped up enough wind to send some hot air balloons flying into the air in Wisconsin over the weekend. One ballon proved so energetic that it was able to drag a fullsize SUV across a field and into a stand of tents. The freak accident occurred at Balloonfest in Waterford, Wisconsin. Spectators were horrified as balloons dragged handlers to the ground and launched with terrified pilots clinging to their baskets. Organizers had started packing up the colorful balloons due to ominous storm clouds when the wind kicked up. "Happened just like that; it was crazy," Nathan Fricke, crew member, told Fox 6. Winds were clocked at 40 to 50 miles per hour. A balloon caught in the wind dragged a large SUV (we think a Suburban or Yukon XL) hundreds of feet and into a cluster of tents on the edge of the staging area where balloons were on display for festival goers. Considering that the SUV surely weighs well over 5,000 pounds, it's lucky that no one was injured in the incident. News Source: Fox6Now Weird Car News Chevrolet GM GMC SUV
