1977 Chevrolet Blazer Clean Restoration. Excellent. Never Off-roaded Barn Find on 2040-cars
Oakland, California, United States
|
What we have here is perhaps the most beautiful, un-mollested, straight, fire engine red Chevy Blazer you will ever see. This number matching truck is a true California car, built at the Fremont plant, owned and lived in California all her life.
The Blazer also has the "R" code meaning she has her original 400ci, 175hp power plant. This is the torque monster if you need to tow your boat. I can not be 100% sure but I would guess that the engine has been rebuilt at some point because of the high compression as tested. The car runs excellent as the carb was fully rebuilt 50 miles ago. The compression checked out high and the drivetrain needs nothing. Transmission shifts smoothly as you would expect. Let me start with the vehicle itself. I acquired the Blazer on trade for several new mattresses I provided for an elderly couple that had just bought a new home that more fit they're slower lifestyle, According to the 65 year old husband, he bought the car back in the mid eighties for tailgating at SF 49er games. He said to me, and I have no reason to doubt him, that the car has never left a paved road! There are no visual signs of the car ever having been lifted or set up for mud. When I painted the car, there were no dents. There is no bondo on this car that I know of as the previous paint was clearly dent-free faded original white factory paint! The truck was then stripped and a two-stage $7500 paint job was put on the car, including the coding of the engine bay, jambs, and interior. The color that was chosen was a factory Chevy Victory red, the same red you will find on later Blazers and Vette's. We decided against the correct factory red for 1977 because it was an orangish, dull mess. The true, fire-engine red of the later Chevy's pop like a Ferrari as you can see in the detailed pics I've included. The truck looks immaculate and will get thumbs ups everywhere you go. The chrome is bright and straight. Perhaps my emotional favorite aspect of this blazer are the factory rally's. They are five of the original 4x4 wide wheels with new beauty rings and tires. They make the car look as if it was just bought from the local dealer! The wheel set alone would fetch you $2.4k if you were to sell them to buy oversize wheels. A custom lockable rear hitch carrier is implemented to free up rear space inside the car. Also included (but not mounted) is a very nice powder coated roll bar that you can use or sell depending on what your final use is. I wanted to truck to be as close to stock as possible so I chose not to have it mounted back after the new carpet kit was installed but again, it will be included in the sale for you to do with it what you want. The roll bar can be mounted with the rear seat intact. The top and truck bed were both armour-plated with black bed-liner to provide years of tough protection. Let me provide a list to you of everything that is new on the truck. carburetor exhaust system tires grill mirror carpet weatherstripping (most) seat covers roll bar (optional) signal covers door handles floor mats spare tire rack (with key) windshield I've put about $10k into this sweet blazer over the past year to get her to where she is now. Don't you dare miss this one. Feel free to call me at 510 432 0500 to ask any questions or to set up a drive if you are local. |

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
New Chevrolet Silverado to be revealed on Facebook on Thursday
Tue, 11 Dec 2012There's not much to see here, but if you're one of those waiting for the reveal of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, above is the teaser image that Chevrolet posted on its Facebook page. We've seen the truck in form-fitting camo before, and even less can be made out here beyond those seriously punchy Silverado-esque fenders and the knowledge that the projector-beam headlamps teased previously do indeed work. We'll have to wait until Thursday for a full perusal of the "bold exterior design" and "careful attention given to every detail" we've been promised.
Gathering intel and rumors, magnesium and aluminum contribute to the Silverado's weight loss plan, the purported "High Country" top-tier trim will contribute to luxury pickup truck competition and profit margins and the next-generation small-block V8 will contribute to improved fuel economy. On the engine note, there have been rumors of available V6 engines, and when Facebook user John Jones asked "Where's your answer to that EcoBoost Chevy?", the Bowtie replied "stay tuned on the 13th. We think you'll be pleased...".
Along with the "Raise the Bar" tag, Chevrolet says of the Silverado, "You asked, we delivered." You can watch the reveal live on Chevrolet's Facebook page at 9:30 am EST, this Thursday, December 13. The GMC Sierra 1500 will also be there, and we'll see both in person at the Detroit Auto Show in January.
GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
