1979 TWO TONE SOUTHERN K5 BLAZER

HIGHLY ORIGINAL

WELL MAINTAINED

THIS IS A FIRST TIME OFFERING A 1979 TWO TONE SOUTHERN K5 BLAZER. A real beauty! The odometer reads just 59,000 miles. It is a highly original truck and in better condition than most. The 350 engine is strong and it runs, drives, shifts and handles very well. It is top of the line, the Cheyenne model. It has new tires, Monroe shocks and real Flowmasters.

THIS 1979 K5 BLAZER EXTERIOR
In order for you to see how awesome this truck is running naked, I took the time to remove the top. You will find over 100 close up photos, many of them with the top off. Best described as Big. Bad. Bold. Beautiful. Even though its stance is highlighted, it is just as sharp with the top on.
The top itself is in good condition with all of the windows opening and closing properly. The back window operates properly. Also, it sits up nice and tall just like it should. The chrome bumpers are in great condition, as is the grill, headlights and tail lights are bright and shiny. The stainless steel bright work is in very good condition. All the seams are original, so are the rockers and cab corners. There are few scars, top to bottom. This is a quality vehicle. Please note: Not too often are you able to take photos of the underside of a 35-year-old vehicle without apology. There is no repair or rust here, never has been. It is completely solid and dry.

ENGINE
The engine and engine compartment are clean, tidy and detailed. Nothing is missing. The headers and the Flowmaster exhaust leave one in awe. The sound is powerful and sort of wicked, yet not too loud.....just a thunder rumble. There is no smoke, not even on start-up. It starts instantly and takes instant command. The front end, suspension and steering have no issues. It shifts quick and easy as the manufacturer intended.

INTERIOR
The entire interior is original and in very good condition. There is a nice fitting dash pad. This was a southern truck. All of the gauges are crystal clear. This is the Cheyenne model. Cheyennes have custom trim in camel, plus bright trim, color keyed carpeting, a color keyed console, full instrumentation and a custom steering wheel. Very sporty and so easy to look at. This is an air conditioned, tilt wheel truck adding to your comfort.
This is a solid investment. NADA states classic and/or vintage trucks are increasing in value quicker than any other vehicle. The Blazer is well priced. It is as shown. This is a 7 day auction ending on?
REMEMBER TO PLACE YOUR BID. This is a 7 day listing which will end WEDNESDAY, August 13 at 9 P M EDT!

GM seeks national mandate for zero-emissions cars

Fri, Oct 26 2018

DETROIT — General Motors says it will ask the federal government for one national gas mileage standard, including a requirement that a percentage of auto companies' sales be zero-emissions vehicles. Mark Reuss, GM's executive vice president of product development, said the company will propose that a certain percentage of nationwide sales be made up of vehicles that run on electricity or hydrogen fuel cells. GM says a nationwide program modeled on such a requirement in California could result in 7 million electric vehicles, or EVs, on U.S. roads by 2030. California wants 15.4 percent of vehicle sales by 2025 to be EVs or other zero emission vehicles. Nine other states, including Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York, have adopted those requirements. In January, California Governor Jerry Brown set a target of 5 million zero-emission vehicles in California by 2030. The Trump administration criticizes California's ZEV mandate, saying it requires automakers to spend tens of billions of dollars developing vehicles that most consumers do not want, only to sell them at a loss. Reuss told reporters that governments and industries in Asia and Europe "are working together to enact policies now to hasten the shift to an all-electric future. It's very simple: America has the opportunity to lead in the technologies of the future." A national mandate also would create jobs and reduce fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and "make EVs more affordable," Reuss added. GM, the nation's largest automaker, will spell out the request Friday in written comments on a Trump administration proposal to roll back Obama-era fuel economy and emissions standards, freezing them at 2020 levels instead of gradually making them tougher. Under a regulation finalized by the Environmental Protection Agency at the end of the Obama administration, the fleet of new automobiles would have to get 36 miles per gallon by 2025, 10 mpg higher than the current requirement. But the Trump administration's preferred plan is to freeze the standards starting in 2021. Administration officials say waiving the tougher fuel efficiency requirements would make vehicles more affordable, which would get safer cars into consumer hands more quickly. GM on Thursday said it doesn't support the freeze, but wants flexibility to deal with consumers' shift from cars to less-efficient SUVs and trucks.

Mysterious white powder discovered at GM Orion Assembly

Fri, Sep 2 2016

Workers at General Motors Orion Assembly Plant in Orion Township, MI uncovered a mysterious white powder in two different parts of the factory earlier this week, raising concerns about worker safety. "We can confirm that an unknown substance (white powder) was found on the floor outside of Gate 6 at Orion Assembly on Monday, August 29. On Tuesday, August 30, we had a second report of a bottle containing a similar substance found inside the plant," GM spokesperson Dayna Hart told The Oakland Press via email. GM stressed that incident didn't disrupt operations at the plant, and that the company was taking steps to ensure the safety of the sprawling factory's workers. That did include, an anonymous worker told The Oakland Press, closing off parts of the factory for two full days, as drug-sniffing dogs and crews in haz-mat suits descended on the area. "A sample of the substance has been sent to a laboratory for identification and results are expected later this week," Hart said. "All findings and actions have been shared with our employees." Orion Assembly currently builds the Chevrolet Sonic and Buick Verano, and will eventually be responsible for production of the new, all-electric Chevy Bolt early next year. Related Video:

Here's how Detroit is selling more luxury vehicles than Germany and Japan

Sun, Dec 14 2014

Now there's an attention-grabbing headline, eh? Although the answer to the riddle - pickup trucks and SUVs - might be somehow deflating, the numbers involved deserve a going over. According to TrueCar's figures (click on the table to enlarge), six of the year's ten best-selling vehicles in the US that sell for a transaction price above $50,000 are body-on-frame, and the Mercedes-Benz E-Class is the only foreigner to crack the top five. Every enthusiast knows that pickup trucks are 'Murica's most popular vehicle by a colossal margin, and there have been plenty of reports about the popularity of luxuriously appointed trucks and SUVs, but compare these figures from TrueCar: 70 percent of Chevrolet Tahoe sales have a transaction price above $50K, and The Bowtie is expected to make $3.9 billion in revenue on 66,945 predicted high-dollar sales; 95.1 percent of E-Class sales break $50K, so the German company will make $4.0 billion on 67,006 predicted sales in that pricing sphere. It's about the only time you'll see the Tahoe ranked right next to Mercedes' bread-and-butter sedan. Ram is ahead of those two with $4.2B coming from $50K-plus sales. The Ford F-Series does almost as much revenue as the next three combined, with an expected $10.8 billion coming from sales of trucks over $50K - more than a quarter of the model's total sales, when a base F-150 can be had for about $26,000. Yes, the Germans make a lot more money on fewer sales, but considering the comparison, the bottom line isn't too troubled by such facts. Weighing like-for-like, the full-size Ford walks it in every category; elsewhere, the Chevrolet Silverado outsells the Ram, but the Ram outsells the Chevy by 6.7 percent above $50K. And for all the flak GMC takes over swapping out grilles, the Sierra also outsells the Chevy in the well-appointed segment, 16.1 percent of sales versus 11 percent – the Professional Grade brand is a huge profit center for The General. You'll find more info in the TrueCar press release below. TrueCar finds pickup trucks far outsell premium brands among top 10 vehicles over $50,000 Ford F-Series pickup sales over $50,000 surpass combined BMW 3, 5, 7 Series luxury car sales SANTA MONICA, Calif.
