Minty 4x4 K5 Blazer with 461 BBC -- *MUST SEE*
Overall Description
Near immaculate, laser straight 1991 4x4 K5 Silverado Blazer. One of the nicest, cleanest, built K5's you will ever see. Absolutely rust free, bondo free, accident free and damage free. This has always been a southern truck and has never seen mud, snow or salt. It has rarely seen rain and has never been off-roading. This truck is a beauty and gets comments daily. You can't park anywhere without someone coming up to admire and comment. Professionally built 461 BBC engine with less than 1,000 miles that runs like a top, not some junk yard salvage project. This truck was built with reliability and everyday drivability as priorities. Unlike many Blazer projects, this one is not "over the top" with hood scoops, crazy tire sizes, ear-bleeding subwoofers.
1991 was the last year this generation full-size Blazer was made. Only 7,332 were produced.
Highlights: 461 cubic inch BBC with true dual 3" exhaust, Performance 700R4 transmission, 4.56 gears, 4 inch suspension lift, 35 inch tires. See below for the details.
The only reason I am selling this K5 is because I need a pickup truck. And I feel the truck is just too nice to be exposed to the midwest weather elements.
This Blazer started out immaculate (rust and damage free) and then the build was started. This Blazer build is different from the rest because it started out in near perfect condition. This truck has more than $30,000 invested in the build and is well documented.
I have a thick book of receipts, history and information for the work done on this truck.
I have a clear and clean title in hand. I have registration proof this is a southern truck. Prior to the resto-modifications, this truck had approximately 140k rust-free miles. This was not a frame-off restoration because it was simply not needed.
If you have any questions, please email me. This awesome truck is destined for someone who appreciates the truck as a solid build, done right and is not a back-yard hack job. So if you call, please be serious and not just a tire kicker. Thank you.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
Watch Evo pick its 2015 Car of the Year in this epic video
Mon, Dec 7 2015With just a few days left in 2015, it's the perfect time to check out Evo's annual Car of the Year test to determine the greatest performance vehicle of the last 12 months. The writers' picks for the 11 finalists spanned a breadth of engaging models and included: Peugeot 208 GTi by Peugeot Sport, Lamborghini Aventador SV, Seat Leon Cupra Sub8, McLaren 675LT, Porsche 991 GT3 RS, Porsche Cayman GT4, Honda Civic Type R, Ferrari 488 GTB, Chevrolet Camaro Z/28, Lotus Evora 400, and Mercedes-AMG GT S. For the venue to test the mettle of these performance machines, Evo stuck close to home this year and visited the twisting roads at the beautiful north coast of Scotland. Racing brothers Marino and Dario Franchitti also came along for the ride to provide two more voices in the competitive challenge to determine a winner. Evo's video explains why each model deserves to be among such rarified company but doesn't gloss over their faults either. There can be only one winner, though. We don't want to spoil it, so check out the clip for magnificent views of these performance machines through the Scottish countryside.
Recharge Wrap-up: Panasonic, Tesla on Gigafactory deal?
Tue, Jul 29 2014Bentley has been awarded the Carbon Trust Standard for reductions of carbon, water use and waste production in manufacturing. The Carbon Trust is an organization that helps groups such as businesses and governments reduce carbon emissions, use of energy and resources, and waste output. From 2011 to 2013, Bentley reduced CO2 emissions by 16 percent per car manufactured, curtailed water use by 35.7 percent, and saw significant waste reductions. Darran Messem of Carbon trust says, "Bentley is clearly passionate about continuing to improve its environmental performance, which is reflected by the fact the company has consistently invested in new technology." Read more in the press release below. Chevrolet is giving 12 Volts to MBAs Across America. The organization will use the range-extended electric cars in its efforts to help MBA students learn from and work with small business owners. As part of the MBAs Across America program's first year, four students drove 8,000 miles to provide entrepreneurs with free business counseling. The program has expanded, and this year, teams of MBAs will use the Volts to travel to 25 cities to offer their services. Learn more about the partnership between Chevrolet and MBAs Across America in the press release below. A professor from the University of Michigan has found fuel cycle analysis to be too flawed to be relied upon for measuring CO2 impacts of transportation fuels. Professor John DeCicco of the university's Energy Institute feels that the flaws in calculating the carbon footprint of liquid fuel production and combustion make such lifecycle analysis impractical. He suggests, instead, to focus to carbon capture. Since capturing CO2 directly from a vehicle is probably never going to happen, DiCicco believes the solution is to capture carbon from the atmosphere in sectors outside of transportation. Says DiCicco, "Research should be ramped up on options for increasing the rate at which CO2 is removed from the atmosphere and on programs to manage and utilize carbon fixed in the biosphere, which offers the best CO2 removal mechanism now at hand. Such strategies can complement measures that control the demand for liquid fuels by reducing travel activity, improving vehicle efficiency and shifting to non-carbon fuels."
