NOTE: The Experian report indicates a title problem, and I just noticed this. Looking back to 2008, New Mexico DMV left off the mileage on the title transfer paperwork. I am going to battle with DMV on 9/9/13, and expect this to be a major headache. The odometer is accurate, and has never had a problem.
Up for bid is my '92 Blazer K1500, mostly original condition, and yes, I am the original owner. This is a smoke free, pet free vehicle. The '92 was Peterson's 4-Wheel & Off- road magazines' 4x4 of the year, and I am including the original February 1992 edition of that magazine. Of course, I also have the window sticker, all receipts for 21 years, and a spreadsheet where I logged all maintenance and repairs. Even the GM-UAW "Made in the U.S.A." gloves that came with the spare are near mint (for you aficionados).This is really a nice running, superb off-road vehicle and reliable as any from this era. It starts in a few milleseconds, even after sitting unused for a few weeks. I've used it seldom in the past several years, and my average mileage per year is < 7500.
I have never had any problems with the engine, transmission or drivetrain, including the 4x4 system. It runs and drives mostly like it did 21 years ago. The transmission has been serviced regularly. When I recently replaced the spark plugs, all 8 had consistent and normal wear (picture available on request). The problems I've had have been typical: water pump, radiator, heater core, warped rotors, starter, PS pump/hoses, etc. It does not leak oil or fluids, however, like most old 350's, oil seeps out the gaskets and seals.
Cosmetically, there are a few issues. From a hailstorm in 2009, it got dinged up on the hood and top, mostly. The original paint was flaking and fading on these surfaces, so I replaced the hood and painted it, along with the top and luggage rack. The paint, Rustoleum Pro, is now showing spider web cracks, so it really needs to be repainted eventually. I should have listened to the pros advice. Still, it looks better than before. There are only a few small dings as a result of the hail, most are on the roof and out of sight. Basically, it is ready for a fresh paint job, if you are seeking a cosmetically perfect car.
I purchased it from Watson Chevy in Tucson, AZ and it has been with me in the Southwest the whole time, except for 1 year in Idaho. No accidents - no rust, except on the surface of frame and some under-carriage parts. I've taken it on jeep roads and it excels, plus it is very comfortable.
So, here is list of the good, bad, and ugly.
- The good: 4x4 used but never abused, no accidents, engine & drivetrain are outstanding, very clean interior, last year of NO airbags, 1st year of new body style, maintenance log available upon request, < 14k miles on the BFGs, tows RVs no problem, beautiful dash (always covered it), replaced ext. trim moulding with factory GM, carpet and seats are 9.8 out of 10 (no stains, no rips, just some normal snow melt aging). The A/C is ice cold, but noisy at idle. No rattles or squeaks. Aftermarket muffler has a moderate throaty sound, and this is the 3rd muffler.
- The Bad: cruise control recently quit, suffered some hail damage in 2009 as stated above, a few tears in the headliner that can be repaired, original wheels have fogged clearcoat, rear electric hatch release needs adjustment. That's about it.
- The Ugly: peeling chrome on the front grill, and this was a replacement 19 years ago, some warping on interior plastic,
Also, the car didn't come with rear defrost in the back glass, and I shattered the glass backing out of my garage with the lid up. The replacement was the defrost style, so I bought the switch for the dash with the intention to hook it all up. Never got around to that.
What does it need? The wheels haven't been aligned for a long time, (does not pull) so it might be a good idea just for the sake of tire wear. I believe the noise from the A/C means air in the system, so it might need servicing if the noise bugs you. Doors have normal sag and I have new hinge pins, just haven't got around to it. C/C malfunction is likely the stalk - I think. There may be some other minor things that I just can't think of at this time.
I'm not presenting this car as a trophy, like-new condition vehicle. It is not perfect, but if you are looking for an original owner, well cared for and documented car, there might not be many '92 Blazers that run this well with low mileage like this one. This year of Blazer seems to be highly sought after. I know everything about the car, and I'll tell you everything I know. No mysterious history. I will be listing locally, so I reserve the right to end this auction upon local sale. Local pickup preferred, and you will have to arrange for delivery if desired. Thanks for checking.

Jay Leno gets pulled over while roaring in a Corvette Z06 convertible
Tue, Jan 6 2015No one is above the law, even if that person is a certain silver-haired auto enthusiast with a popular weekly video series about the cars in his garage. This week, Jay Leno experiences the 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z06, but he also gets to have a meeting with some of California's Finest immediately after a high-speed blast. As opposed to the full-bore Z06 coupe with the seven-speed manual, Leno gets behind the wheel of the slightly heavier convertible version with the eight-speed auto. Being a droptop doesn't bother him too much, but Leno makes it obvious he wishes that he could be shifting for himself. Even if the auto is technically quicker, Leno says that swapping gears gives him something to do while driving. Of course, one of the major advantages of the convertible is the ability to listen to the Z06's thumping V8 unimpeded. With 650 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from 6.2-liters of supercharged muscle, it already puts down impressive numbers, but the sound might just be the best part of all. Around town, the 'Vette is quiet enough to easily blend in with the rest of traffic. However, tip the throttle down and the valves in the exhaust open up to turn the engine into roaring monster. Be careful where you make this thing howl, though, because it's pretty easy for the police to take notice. The host finds that out the hard way in this week's episode of Jay Leno's Garage.

2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
CNG-powered Chevy Sonic, Cruze headed your way
Fri, Nov 7 2014The value proposition for a Crazy Diamond Performance CNG ride was a little bit better before gas prices took a dive in the past month. Still, the Michigan-based company, which converts some of Chevrolet's compact vehicles to run on compressed natural gas, received approval late last month from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its conversion models. And CNG is still pretty cheap. Crazy Diamond will start selling CNG versions of both the Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. The startup will target fleet operators looking to cut both refueling costs and their carbon footprint. CNG can be found in much of the country in the low $2 range, while the average CO2 emissions are about 25 percent less than those of similar gas-powered vehicles. Average gas prices have tumbled by more than 30 cents a gallon in the last month, according to AAA, but they're still at close to $3. The two models will be able to go almost 300 miles on a full tank of CNG. Crazy Diamond said this summer that it would start selling converted a CNG-powered Cruze that delivers 130 horsepower for as low as $26,000. The turbocharged version goes for about $28,000. Take a look at Crazy Diamond Performance's celebratory press release below. Crazy Diamond Performance recieves EPA approval on its CNG Cruze and Sonic CDP receives EPA approval for its Mono-Fuel CNG Cruze and Sonic. Shelby Township, Michigan, October 30, 2014– Crazy Diamond Performance (CDP) receives EPA approval on its Mono-Fuel Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) Chevrolet Cruze and Chevrolet Sonic. Crazy Diamond Performance has received EPA approval on two new mono-fuel small passenger vehicles, the CNG Chevrolet Cruze and CNG Chevrolet Sonic. These new mono-fuel CNG platforms are the first of a series of small and fuel efficient vehicles coming from CDP, where cost, low emissions and reduced fuel consumption is important for not only fleet owners, but to the general public as well. "Soon to be available, are the 1.8L and 1.4L Cruze and Sonic CNG retrofit systems. These two vehicles represent a change in the status quo, with an OEM level integration of the fuel system and its components" states Michelle Fern, Executive Vice President CDP Inc. These vehicles provide flexibility for fleets looking to purchase a domestic small mono-fuel passenger sedan, but have not had an option until now. There are significant emissions benefits over its gasoline counterpart, with an average reduction in Carbon Dioxide (CO2) of 25%.
