I have owned this truck since 6/22/2011, so just under 3 years. I have put about 48,000 miles on it in that time. It works great, looks unique & presentable, and I would drive it anywhere. I am selling due to not needing such a large vehicle anymore...we bought a bmw 325i to replace this.

$5000

This Trailblazer is a 2005, with 178,832 miles. This is an EXT...so it has the somewhat uncommon THIRD ROW SEATING. Has the 4.2 liter inline 6 cylinder Vortec. I have current tags on it and I did an emissions test back in november (i have the registration but can't find the emission printout--actually, the MVD may have taken it when I got the registration). No trouble codes, runs and drives perfect. 

There are a few MINOR issues:
1. The stepper motor on the tachometer and battery gauge are worn out and those two gauges frequently get stuck and do not read correctly. Speedometer, temperature, fuel level, oil pressure all work fine.
2. Few dings in the paint...but it looks pretty good...not like your typical Arizona car, the clear coat is there and it is shiny.  There are some rock chips on the front edge of the hood, headlights could use one of those resurfacing kits, and the truck could probably use a good washing and wax.  (The interior was just shampoo'd and steam cleaned).
3. I have the front bumper cover but it needs to be painted if you want to put it back on. I removed it so the aux lights could be mounted and to gain a little more nose clearance.
4. The air conditioning works & blows cold, but it is not extreme cold, I suspect it could use a recharge.

That's it, everything else works! Radio, cruise control, 4x4 hi/lo, AWD, all electric windows, front and rear wipers, all lights, the rear struts to hold up the tailgate, and the remote key fob...all of it is there and works like it should.

Also, some upgrades have been done to the truck:
* 3" suspension lift kit.
* 31" BFG Off road tires WITH full size matching spare
*Custom K&N cold air intake
*Custom Exhaust - Flowmaster 40 series 1 into 2, with custom done dual exhaust with one exit on each rear corner. This was shop done, not a hack job. The Flowmaster DOES add a little growl, so be aware (it is not obnoxious however).
*Truck has POWERLITE limited slip rear end.
*KC Off road lights, wired to the stock fog light dash switch.
*3 gauge pod mounted on a pillar (gauges are removed, but it is there and ready for you to put in whatever you want).
*New battery less than a year ago (Interstate Battery)
*New rear door lifts about 6 months ago.
*4 of the 6 ignition coil boots have been replaced with new.
*New exhaust manifold less than a year ago
*New brake pads and new front rotors about 1 year ago.
*New spark plugs 8 months ago.
*New serpentine belt 1 year ago.
*Probably a couple hundred dollars worth of towing balls/bars are included!

Title is in hand, regular/non-salvage, no liens.

Truck is for sale locally, so I reserve the right to void the auction should it sell locally.

$200 non-refundable deposit via PayPal within 24 hours of auction close.  The rest in CASH upon pickup.  Vehicle must be picked up within 10 days of auction close in Glendale, AZ 85308.  NO SHIPPING!!

Looking back at the Citation IV concept that likely shaped the GM EV1

Wed, Aug 20 2014

Those who forget history are condemned to repeat it. We're not sure how that applies to the GM EV1, but we'd still like to share something from Autoline Daily, an online automotive new show with our friend John McElroy. He's been covering the business for decades now and recently found something interesting: pictures of the 1984 Chevrolet Citation IV concept, seen above. Displayed half a decade before the first electric concept that would become the EV1 (inset), McElroy says it's now clear that the elegant, aerodynamic EV1 took a lot of styling cues from the Citation IV, which was developed in part thanks to GM's new-at-the-time Aerodynamics Laboratory. We agree with him that the spats over the rear wheels, the flush glass, and the covered headlights all bear a certain kind of similarity between the two cars. That the colors almost match is a nice coincidence. The Impact (the concept version of the EV1) looked "frumpier," McElroy says, because it wasn't as long as the Citation. You can read a lot more about the Citation IV here and check out McElroy's thoughts in the video below. Find the Citation starting at around 3:45. This content is hosted by a third party.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.

2023 Grand National Roadster Show Mega Photo Gallery | Hot rod heaven

Wed, Feb 8 2023

POMONA, Calif. — From an outsider's perspective, it would be easy to assume that the Grand National Roadster Show has always been a Southern California institution. After all, it celebrates the diverse postwar car culture of the region — hot rods, lead sleds, lowriders, and more. However, the show had its roots in NorCal in 1950 when Al Slonaker and his hot rod club showed their custom cars at the Oakland Expo. The GNRS moved to Pomona, California, in 2004. By then it had grown exponentially and seen about a dozen more car customization trends come and go. However, the show and its centerpiece award, the America's Most Beautiful Roadster prize, celebrate what is perhaps the first of those trends: the American hot rod in its purest form. Today, in its 73rd year, the GNRS is the oldest indoor car show in America. Annually it welcomes 500-800 cars, gathered into special themes like Tri-Five Chevys or Volkswagen Bugs. At this year's show, which was last weekend, a special hall was dedicated to pickup trucks built between 1948-98, including mini-trucks, groovy camper bed conversions, and resto-mods.  However, of all the vehicles presented, only nine are eligible for the America's Most Beautiful Roadster award. Winners get their names engraved on a 9-foot-tall perpetual trophy that was, according to The Ultimate Hot Rod Dictionary, the largest in the world when it debuted in 1950. Slonaker chose the word "roadster" initially because "hot rod" bore slightly negative outlaw connotations in 1950. Only American cars built before 1937 of certain body styles — roadsters, roadster pickups, phaetons, touring cars — are eligible, and they cannot have roll-down side windows.  Cars in the running for the cup cannot have been shown anywhere else before their debut at the GNRS.  Contestants for this accolade essentially build their cars to the a platonic ideal of a hot rod. This year the honors went to Jack Chisenhall of San Antonio, Texas, for his "Champ Deuce," a 1932 Ford Roadster. It's exactly what you picture when you think of a hot rod, but distilled to its absolute essence.  Other standouts included "Green Eyes," a two-tone green 1959 Chevy El Camino  with a heavily metal-flaked bed, "Blue Monday," a 1964 Buick Riviera lowrider, and a personal favorite, "Purple Reign," a purple and black 1951 Mercury. Cars may have started out as tools, but there aren't shows like this filled with custom refrigerators.
