1980 Chevrolet K5 Blazer 4X4

Silverado

Okay K5 fans, and all you eBayers out there on the interweb..  Let’s see who is paying attention.  This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION.  I am starting the bidding at a penny.  I have faith that the people of eBay can set the market for this Blazer..  The last bidder gets it!  Keep that in mind if you have a tendency to place bids willy nilly late at night..   You may win this one..  I will expect the winner to actually pay for it too.    

On the auction block today is a good and solid K5.  It is a 1980 1/2 top model it is a 4 Wheel Drive and has a newer 350 V8 crate engine.  I like this truck because it is solid.  I’m not saying “no rust” because I can see a little in the rockers and I pictured them.  But this is a very dry Blazer.  The underside that I pictured is all solid.  No weird patchwork either. 

The engine runs strong.  I don’t know how old the engine is or when it was installed but it just is one of those 350s that reminds us why that engine is so good.  A good 350 is about the best engine ever to be put in a car or truck or boat or anything else for that matter.  I put a new Holly 4 Bbl carb on it too because I couldn’t help myself.  I just really like that set up.. 

Anyway, yes the engine runs well and yes the transmission shifts properly and yes the 4X4 works like it is supposed to too.  Mechanically the k5 is in really good shape all around.  It drives tight the shocks are good the brakes stop straight and true.  There is not a bunch of wander in the steering.  Also the electric back window works perfectly from the inside but not with the key on the outside.

The Chevy looks good too.  The paint is fresh and the color is a really deep blue, although not a show quality job..  I think it is better than 90% of these out there.  The tires and wheels ane high quality and there is at least 75% tread on the rubber.

The inside is a little tired but it’s also all original.  Nothing lasts forever and the seats have held up pretty well considering this rig is over 33 years old.

I think this Blazer would be a great driver for a person that wants a vehicle like this for trips to the mountain or for fun off road camping adventures..  The top can come off in the summer and these K5s have a million other uses too.  Tow the boat, safe ride for Jr.,date night at the rodeo? 

This Blazer has all of the vintage appeal and will surely be one to hold on to for future appreciation.

I am setting the reserve very low and I know the K5 will sell the first go around as long as we all play by these rules. 

#1.  Only bid if you have intentions to buy. 

#2. Ask any and all questions before bidding. 

#3. Please contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback.

#4. This is an AS-IS sale.  I have done my best to describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees except a clean and clear legal title after payment.

#5. I will not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the K5.  Pay-Pal is for the deposit only, the balance must be paid by certified check or wire.  Legitimate and legal buyers only please. 

Just be real and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or her purchase.  I have 100% positive feedback and I plan on keeping that.  Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the last second and worry about missing out.  Just call me and we will work out a fair price..

I’m Justin my Phone number is 503-969-5127

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel destined for Chicago debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

It's been a little over a year and a half since General Motors first confirmed plans to offer a diesel-powered Chevrolet Cruze here in the United States, and we've now learned that the oil-burning compact will debut under the lights of the Chicago Auto Show in February. According to GM Authority, the Cruze Eco-D will be introduced as part of the entire 2014 model year Cruze range, set to go on sale in the second quarter of this year.
Earlier reports have indicated that the diesel Cruze will be able to achieve fuel economy numbers in the range of 50 miles per gallon. For comparison, the similarly sized Volkswagen Jetta TDI is rated at 30/42 mpg city/highway, but as we found out in our long-term test of the 2011 model, hitting 50 mpg was a piece of cake.
Official specifications will be released at the time of the 2014 Cruze's unveiling, though reports have stated that the sedan will be powered by a reworked version of the 2.0-liter turbo-diesel inline-four found in the Holden Cruze CDX overseas. In that application, the four-pot oil-burner produces 160 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque - increases of 20 hp and 29 lb-ft over the 2.0-liter engine used in VW's Jetta TDI.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too

Fri, 07 Dec 2012

We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
