1990 Chevrolet Silverado K5 Blazer 1990 Blazer K5 V8 5.7 TBI Engine, with 700r4 Transmission. The truck has 52k miles and drives like it. The truck is solid with no Rust. The truck was bough from some local winter visitors a little over 2 years ago. The truck was like most cars that have been in Arizona for a while the paint was completely faded and I started off with a fresh paint job. The truck was originally the charcoal gray, I decided to add silver to make it stand out. I decided to go with a two tone and I get a lot of compliments from it. The paint job was done approximately December 2012 and still looks like it was done yesterday! The undercarriage was coated in chassis paint to make look new again. There is an endless amount of accessory items that have been replaced as most of what was installed in the truck was either dry rotted or just completely faded or I just wanted to make it look new again. The interior was in good shape but decided to get a new carpet, and redo the seats and headliner/visors to make it look new again as the old carpet and seats were faded and had some stains. I have done my very best to get my mechanic to correct any oil leaks it had. As of right now I haven't noticed any oil leaks. The pictures should speak for themselves. I would have no problem driving this truck anywhere, it has low miles and has brand new tires that still have nubs on them. The jack and handle and windshield wipers are not in the pictures but I do have them and will install them before the truck sells. We get about 1/2 inch of rain per year so the chances of needing the wipers in Yuma are slim to none so when the truck was painted I didn't put them back on. The truck has stock cruise control, A/C and it all works! Even the stereo is original, it has never been cut and wiring is still as original and stock as it can be. I have had my fun with it driving it (drove very little) and restoring it.. I actually rarely even drive it therefore I'm deciding to free up some space in the garage and add some money back into the savings account by selling some of my toys that I don't play much with. Here is a list of some new parts within the last year: Windshield Rear Glass Door Weather Strip Door Glass Weather Strip Camper shell Weather Strip Door Panel Aluminum Inserts Door Carpet Kit Carpet Kit Seat Upholstery Dome Lens Silverado Shell Emblems Side Moldings Wheel Arch Moldings Rear Quarter Panels (Interior Upholstery) BF Goodrich 32x11.50x15 Tires x 4 Fuel Pump Rally Center Caps Sill Plates Spark Plugs Spark Plug Wires Distributor Cap/Rotor Oil Change on 5/20- approximately 100 miles since last oil change Air Filter Gasoline Filter Windshield Wipers A/C 134 Conversion Serpentine Belt Battery Differential Oil Change Valve Cover Gaskets Valve Stem Seals The not so good: Driver Door window goes up and down like it should but the Passenger Door Window and Rear window are slow to go up and down but DO go up and down, I have not replaced those window motors (this was in my list to do next but never bothered me enough to change them). The truck only has speakers in the dash. When i had the rear quarter panels done I didn't install speakers as I wanted to do a custom stereo system. The interior quarter panels are a blank canvas to add the speakers and stereo system of your choice. Also, it is barely noticeable in the pictures but the rear bumper does have some minor dents in it, I never considered replacing because it is barely noticeable. The dash pad does have a couple hair line cracks as most trucks this age do. PLEASE NOTE: There is a mileage discrepancy in the CarFax due to the DMV assuming it had 152k miles instead of the 52k miles it actually has. The speedometer goes up to 6 digits. I have an appointment with the DMV this week to fix this issue, they have to do an inspection and I have to provide the documentation that shows the actual mileage. The Carfax clearly shows that the truck only has 52k+ miles as well as the history that was given to me when i purchased it. I have worked on the truck for the last 2 years but have driven it very very little. Maybe about 300-400 miles total. (I didn't drive it much to not add miles to it). I drove it locally to a car meets and such but most of the time I transported the truck on a flatbed to keep the miles low. I am not a mechanic, please come and inspect the truck, ask for more pictures or simply send me an email with whatever questions you might have. Please email me any questions you might have and I will try to respond promptly. Please note that the deposit is NON-REFUNDABLE. Please ONLY bid if you intend to buy. Thanks again and happy bidding!

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
Experimental mid-engine XP-819 Corvette going up for auction
Sun, 17 Feb 2013It seems to be commonplace that when a new Corvette is in development, rumors swirl about a possible mid-engine layout. As is the case of Chevy's most recent C7 Corvette, these rumors never pan out.
In any case, the idea for a 'Vette with an engine mounted behind the driver can probably all be traced back to a single car, the 1964 XP-819 prototype. Built as an "engineering exercise" back in 1964, the prototype was designed with a rear-mounted engine. History tells us that the idea of a rear-engine Corvette fizzled, and the XP-819 was eventually cut up into pieces and stored at a shop in Daytona Beach, FL.
After sitting for untold years, a restoration project started on the car, and while it isn't yet fully completed, the current owner of the car, Mid America Motorworks, will have the car on display at the 2013 Amelia Island Concours d'Elegance as a "driveable chassis" with hopes of having a fully completed car ready to bring to next year's show.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
