 I bought this truck last year with the intention of turning it into a restomod with new running gear and updates, but the guy that builds my custom vehicles talked me out of using this Blazer because it is in such good condition, and very original.  It would have been a shame to cut it up.  In addition to being a factory A/C Blazer, it also has a rare working factory tachometer in the center of the gauge cluster.   We purchased a different Blazer for my project that is almost complete, and I now need to make room in the garage.  The previous owner had rebuilt the brakes, installed new 33" Toyo MT tires, partially installed a Painless Wiring Harness, had headers and new exhaust installed, and repainted the body.  There was no rust as this was an Arizona vehicle, and I have photos to document the integrity and straightness of the body before paint.  The underside of the tub was painted with POR15 to keep the body rust free.  A larger gas tank is installed that looks like a Hickey product to me.  Im not sure of the capacity. 

Since I cant help myself, even though I knew I wouldn't be keeping this Blazer, we went ahead and took care of anything that would affect the reliability of the truck, as well as cleaning up the cosmetics.  The wiring was completed, and we addressed the sloppiness in the steering.  The motor fires up right away everytime, and everything works great.  I wouldn't hesitate to drive this truck anywhere.  When I purchased this truck we filled the bed with extra parts, both original and aftermarket that will come with this Blazer. 

This Blazer is in great condition for a driver, but it nowhere near a show truck.  I will try to list every deficiency that I can in order to present this vehicle in the truest light possible. 

- The paint is pretty and shiny, but it is what can be referred to as a 10 foot paint job.  It looks great from 10 feet away, but any closer and you can see the deformities that are present including small rock chips, small scratches, and crazing where holes were filled in.  Perfect paint for a driver quality vehicle because it looks nice, but your eyes don't tear up if you get a scratch on it.

-The grille surround could use a polishing, and there is small dent in the lower corner.

-The front bumper is pushed up slightly on the passenger side.

-The A/C compressor and related parts were sold by the previous owner.

-New fuel filler doors were installed in the body before paint, but the filler neck has not been attached to the new door.

-The fuel gauge works but it is rotated slightly to the right, so the reading is not accurate.

-The only leak is the transfer case.  I have the gasket kit, but I never got around to installing it.

-The blazer comes with a double wall hard top in decent condition.  The hatch needs to be repaired where one hinge attaches, and the coating put on by the previous owner should be stripped and repainted.  All hardware is there and it would be an easy fix.

That is all I can come up with that needs attention, this really is a solid truck.  If I find anything else I will add to the listing.

MotorWeek's 80's GM muscle coupe roundup includes Regal GN and Monte Carlo SS

Thu, Jan 29 2015

Even with just four brands in the family, General Motors still represents a performance powerhouse. Between the Chevrolet Corvette Z06, Camaro Z/28, Cadillac CTS-V and ATS-V, The General can still deliver plenty of thrills. The 1980s, though, saw the brand go even crazier with performance. While the Camaro and Corvette were still around back in the day, GM had a number of other interesting performance offerings. The Bowtie was complemented by the long-deceased Monte Carlo SS, while the now-defunct Pontiac and Oldsmobile offered the Grand Prix and thumping 442, respectively. And Buick, which isn't short on performance with its Regal GS and Verano Turbo, offered a much more serious vehicle, in the form of the Grand National (not to mention the Darth Vader-spec GNX). MotorWeek, in its hugely entertaining retro flashbacks, looks back on these three long-lost GM performance icons, and it's just as good as you might expect.

2016 Chevy Volt powertrain video teasers

Fri, Oct 31 2014

If there's one thing we've learned about plug-in vehicle fans, you have a thing for seeing your cars get made. The series of videos showing BMW i3 production was strangely popular, as were the shots from inside the VW e-Golf plant. Well, with General Motors pulling the veil off of the 2016 Chevy Volt this week, it's time to take a peek at the production process for that vehicle as well. You're welcome. Up first we've got a clip from CNN Money showing a little bit about how the new Volt's new battery pack and other powertrain components are made. Those of you who are trying to read the lithium tea leaves and see if the new shape reveals that the 2016 Volt will have five seats might want to check it out. Then we've got two clips from GM itself, one showing an animation about the updated Voltec powertrain and another with some B Roll of the old Volt. Since GM doesn't want us to see the new car quite yet, we'll have to enjoy this for now. Watch below. This content is hosted by a third party. To view it, please update your privacy preferences.

Opel pulls out of Russia, GM to focus on Cadillac, 'iconic' Chevys

Wed, Mar 18 2015

General Motors is going to realign its priorities in the struggling Russian marketplace, withdrawing its Opel brand and pulling out mainstream Chevrolet models. Instead, the General will take aim at Russia's well-established oligarchy, pushing Cadillac as well as "iconic" Chevrolet models, like the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," GM president Dan Ammann said in a statement. "This decision avoids significant investment into a market that has very challenging long-term prospects." Russian customers interested in an Opel or mainstream Chevys like the Spark, Aveo (the US market Sonic), Cobalt (shown above), Cruze, Orlando and the like have until December to snap up a car before the brands are pulled. "We do not have the appropriate localization level for important vehicles built in Russia and the market environment does not justify a major investment to further localize." Opel Group CEO Karl-Thomas Neumann said. GM will continue to offer service to customers in Russia. "We can assure our customers that we will continue to provide warranty, parts and services for their Chevrolet and Opel vehicles," Neumann said. Beyond realigning its brands in Russia, GM also announced that it would also be idling the company's factory in the country's second-largest city, St. Petersburg. This is the second time the St. Petersburg factory has been in the news – GM announced that it'd be idled for roughly two months back in February. Scroll down for the official press release from GM. GM to Change Business Model in Russia 2015-03-18 Focus on Cadillac and iconic Chevrolet vehicles Wind down Opel brand and sale of mainstream Chevrolet cars Idle GM Auto manufacturing facility in St. Petersburg Part of GM's strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in global markets DETROIT – General Motors today announced plans to change its business model in Russia. GM will focus on the premium segment of the Russian market with Cadillac and U.S.-built iconic Chevrolet products such as the Corvette, Camaro and Tahoe. The Chevrolet brand will minimize its presence in Russia and the Opel brand will leave the market by December 2015. "This change in our business model in Russia is part of our global strategy to ensure long-term sustainability in markets where we operate," said GM President Dan Ammann.
