Full Size Blazer, Parts Truck, Project Truck, 4x4, Removable Top, 350 Not 305 on 2040-cars
Union, Maine, United States
Hello to all ebayers, PLEASE READ.....
.....up for your consideration and/or bid is my other 1984
Chevrolet Blazer. This is the next to the last generation of the FULL
SIZE Blazer that only came in 2 doors long before the term SUV was
common place. The motor is a 1973 Chevrolet 350 Monte Carlo engine that runs good, low mileage of approximately 15,000 miles on rebuilt motor in (1995) and of course burns no oil. Could probably use a tune up from sitting in storage and being started/ used little over the years. The transmission and rear-end (differential) are all original and have never been rebuilt or out of the Blazer. I've
owned the Blazer
since 1998 and purchased it for a daily driver for the winter months here in Maine. In 2003 I purchased a new Edellebrock carburetor, also new then,...a water pump, fuel pump, alternator, inner-liners, front fenders, doors, tail gate, dual exhaust, dual front shocks,(rare) replaced rubber cab mounts along with the bolts and washers, inner and outer rockers. The Blazer would make a great "fixer-upper", restoration project or an
excellent parts Blazer, should you need Blazer parts or a woods "buggie". The frame is very solid and in excellent condition with just surface rust, no bad spots or structural issues of any kind. The
last time I started the Blazer
was early July of this year,...2014. The motor oil and
antifreeze are clean and at the full level with no leaks. The running gear all works fine when parked, and the
Blazer currently moves around with ease on a fully
free-rolling chassis. All the tires are 31" X 10.5" X 15,...hold air and stay up with no
problem. The exterior sheet metal all around is pretty decent,
there are some small areas of surface rust "here and there",...the worst sheet
metal rust is the floor braces (see pictures) along with some rust threw of the rear cargo floor area, which is very
much typical of all full size Blazers used in winter-salt/
calcium-chloride regions of the country. The body mount braces up front are in bad condition and allowed the body to start dropping. The Blazer has the complete set
of original rally rims, trim rings and center caps (less one center cap missing on drivers side front)
which are increasingly hard to come by as of late
years. I've stated all that I know about this Blazer as factual as possible. Due to the age
and amount of sitting for years, this Blazer does not come with any guarantees
or warranties expressed or implied and is sold as is where is. For
the winning bidder I offer FREE delivery
BUT only if you are local and/ or up to only 20 miles away. If you are
21-100
miles from the Blazer I offer delivery for a fee of $1.00 per mile. I do
not
offer any delivery options over 100 miles and I certainly do not offer
any long
haul options from state to state either. Any winning bidder that is in
the
"over 100 mile category" it is up to you to make shipping
arrangements and of course all transportation and shipping costs are the
expense of you...(the winning high bidder). At my discretion, I may
extend the
free delivery from 21-100 miles if the Blazer reaches a dollar amount I
deem
acceptable. Should you use your own trailer/equipment to pickup the Blazer,...I offer FREE loading assistance to you with my Rollback and
equipment,...or I'll assist the
carrier of your choice (should you hire one),...also FREE of charge. PLEASE NOTE;...the state of Maine
does not/will not issue a title for ANY automobile/vehicle of 1995 and prior. I
do not have a title and the Blazer comes with a bill-of-sale as ownership.
ADDITIONAL NOTE;...some states will not accept a bill-of-sale as ownership of a
vehicle,...please check with your individual state. FOR THOSE PERSPECTIVE
BIDDERS THAT FIT INTO THIS LAST CATEGORY,...please let me know and I can
contact the state of Maine and they will issue a legal document so that you can
take this paperwork to YOUR state DMV you reside in and YOUR STATE will issue
you a new title in your state. I've done
this may of times before and to my knowledge this is the only perfectly legal
way for bidders from title-demanding states to get a title for a vehicle from a
non-title issuing state. As always,...UNDERCARRIAGE PICTURES are always posted for perspective bidders/ buyers!!! I believe the pictures speak for them self, and what
doesn't I've included in the description,........if you feel I have missed
anything or you have any questions what so ever, please feel free to send me an
email and I'll answer the question(s) asap. Upon the completion of the auction
I ask that the winning bidder to commit to the transaction with payment in the
form of a $200.00 deposit within 48 hours. I also ask that the high bidder
follow-up with full payment in 7 days,
or contact me for additional time if needed. If you have no intent of following threw with
the complete payment of the auction item, please just don't bid and waste
everyone's time playing games,...any non paying bidders will be reported to
both ebay and all 3 major credit reporting agency's. ********KEEP WATCH,...a lot of interesting older ANTIQUE/CLASSIC AUTOS (1949-1985) better shape than this coming in the next several weeks/months,...ALL of which will start with a modest starting price w/NO RESERVE!!!******** .....thanks for looking, Bob. |

GM exploring ways to raise half-ton Duramax diesel tow rating
Sun, Nov 3 2019Lots of truck owners cheered when GM announced fuel economy numbers for the 2020 Chevrolet Silverado with the 3.0-liter Duramax diesel inline-six. Even after Ram let loose its EPA mileage ratings for the 2020 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, the Chevy oil-burner still took the trophy. The victory was years in the making, GM engineers spending an entire four-year development cycle refining the LM2 Duramax to increase mileage. The tradeoff, as well all know by now, is towing; the Duramax in half-ton duty pulls a maximum 9,300 pounds in the Silverado. Rivals across town can do more, the Ford F-150 PowerStroke rated at 11,500, the Ram 1500 EcoDiesel game to pull 12,560. GM engineer John Barta told Muscle Cars & Trucks that more hauling chops could be on the way, explaining, "We’re actually looking at upgrading some of the materials around (the engine bay) to see if we can maybe raise our tow rating." Engine bay materials are at issue due to thermal complexities underhood. John Barta, GM's assistant chief engineer of diesel engine controls, said the Duramax's inline-six configuration allowed engineers to get emissions hardware like the combined selective catalytic reduction, diesel oxidation catalysts, and diesel particulate filter unit closer to the engine, where it heats up quicker, getting emissions down quicker. But that filter puts another heat source in those confines, enforcing a cap on the tow rating to keep the engine and other systems from overheating. "If you look under the hood," he said, "youÂ’ll see a significant amount of silver ‘moon tapeÂ’ around to make sure things arenÂ’t getting overheatedÂ… if we were to go up in higher towing, which we can, we start impacting the possibility of deteriorating some of the components.” There isn't much space for more grille, so swapping for a better grade of "moon tape" or a different kind of material could reduce engine bay heat, extracting a higher tow rating in the process. It's important to note a point Barta's been making for months about the Duramax figures, though. "Even though itÂ’s nice to brag about big numbers, in reality, light duty customers are not towing that large with their trucks," and, "We do know that (95 percent) of our light duty customers donÂ’t tow over 9,000 pounds." On our First Drive of the 2020 Silverado diesel we called out the tow rating, but emphasized that the Chevy and GMC have more important challenges to overcome.
GMC Canyon, Chevy Colorado diesels finally heading to dealers
Fri, Jan 1 2016Customers who have been waiting to receive their diesel-powered Chevrolet Colorados and GMC Canyons should be relived to hear that GM will finally start to ship them out of the Wentzville Assembly Plant. "The highly anticipated 2016 GMC Canyon diesel has begun shipping to dealers," a company spokesperson confirmed to The Detroit News. The trucks originally had a fall launch date, but a final review forced a delay in deliveries. The 2.8-liter four-cylinder diesel in the midsize trucks produces 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet of torque, and the company touts the engine's low emissions. The Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board even put the mill through extra scrutiny with a real world test in the wake of VW's diesel scandal, and the Duramax passed with no problems. At that time, a Chevy spokesperson told Autoblog that the models' launch was on track. The Duramax engine adds $3,730 to the price of a comparable V6 model, but they're the most fuel-efficient pickups on the market. The EPA estimates the twins at 31 miles per gallon highway, 22 mpg city, and 25 mpg combined in two-wheel drive form and 29/20/23 with four-wheel drive. Buyers likely can't wait to finally experience these pickups after reading a heap of positive reviews. The Colorado diesel recently earned Motor Trend's Truck of the Year award. We also came away impressed with it during our First Drive and liked the Canyon during our Quick Spin. Related Video:
Weekly Recap: BMW rolls out ambitious plug-in hybrid electric plan
Sat, Dec 6 2014"We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important." – Julian Arguelles Let there be no doubt, BMW is serious about electric vehicles. The German automaker said this week it will make plug-in hybrid versions of all of its core models, an aggressive move that demonstrates its commitment to electric propulsion systems. BMW did not specify which vehicles will get the plug-in systems or provide a timeline for when they will arrive. But the announcement is clearly more than blustering, and the company revealed a 3 Series plug-in prototype this week at an event in France. BMW said the 3 Series uses a version of its 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine (240 horsepower, 300 pound feet of torque) with an electric motor sandwiched between the engine and transmission in place of the torque converter. It has an all-electric range of 22 miles. A plug-in X5 with the same powertrain was also displayed alongside the 3 Series, though the X5 has been on the auto-show circuit for more than a year, including a recent stop in Los Angeles. Those two vehicles use "eDrive," and BMW's plans represent the first widespread transfer of its technology from development of the i3 and i8 models to more mainstream products. BMW said it's developing electric powertrains so they can be deployed rapidly across its range, and they are flexible enough to be used with fuel cells in future products. Enticingly, BMW is also working on a "Power eDrive" system, which debuted in a 5 Series GT concept at the event in France. This setup has two electric motors powered by a 20-kilowatt-hour battery pack, and when teamed with a four-cylinder turbo, pump out about 670 hp. Reinforcing BMW's commitment, the company will add more than 200 jobs at its factory in Dingolfing, Germany, to support electric-vehicle development. The moves come as BMW and other automakers diversify their portfolios while fuel economy and emissions regulations are getting tighter around the world. The United States has set a 54.5-mpg CAFE requirement for the 2025 model year. BMW said the electric vehicles were developed with an eye toward the US market, its government policies and its wide-ranging commuting styles. "We believe that for the United States, this is going to be very important," spokesman Julian Arguelles said. Ben Scott, a senior analyst in London with automotive research firm IHS, said BMW's moves are expensive – but necessary – to keep pace with the market.
