Minty 4x4 K5 Blazer with 461 BBC -- *MUST SEE*
Overall Description
Near immaculate, laser straight 1991 4x4 K5 Silverado Blazer. One of the nicest, cleanest, built K5's you will ever see. Absolutely rust free, bondo free, accident free and damage free. This has always been a southern truck and has never seen mud, snow or salt. It has rarely seen rain and has never been off-roading. This truck is a beauty and gets comments daily. You can't park anywhere without someone coming up to admire and comment. Professionally built 461 BBC engine with less than 1,000 miles that runs like a top, not some junk yard salvage project. This truck was built with reliability and everyday drivability as priorities. Unlike many Blazer projects, this one is not "over the top" with hood scoops, crazy tire sizes, ear-bleeding subwoofers.
1991 was the last year this generation full-size Blazer was made. Only 7,332 were produced.
Highlights: 461 cubic inch BBC with true dual 3" exhaust, Performance 700R4 transmission, 4.56 gears, 4 inch suspension lift, 35 inch tires. See below for the details.
The only reason I am selling this K5 is because I need a pickup truck. And I feel the truck is just too nice to be exposed to the midwest weather elements.
This Blazer started out immaculate (rust and damage free) and then the build was started. This Blazer build is different from the rest because it started out in near perfect condition. This truck has more than $30,000 invested in the build and is well documented.
I have a thick book of receipts, history and information for the work done on this truck.
I have a clear and clean title in hand. I have registration proof this is a southern truck. Prior to the resto-modifications, this truck had approximately 140k rust-free miles. This was not a frame-off restoration because it was simply not needed.
If you have any questions, please email me. This awesome truck is destined for someone who appreciates the truck as a solid build, done right and is not a back-yard hack job. So if you call, please be serious and not just a tire kicker. Thank you.

Rust free, white paint in very good condition. The blazer has been painted a 2004 Toyota White (paint code 040). This paint was professionally applied, not a garage hack-job.

4 inch suspension lift by ORD (Off road design) with shackle flip. ORD is recognized as a leader in quality GM lift systems and no blocks were used.

Original air conditioning R12 system replaced with modern R134a system. New compressor last month.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray priced from $51,995*
Fri, 26 Apr 2013After months of speculation, Chevrolet has finally revealed the official starting price of the 2014 Corvette Stingray. The base MSRP for the 450-horsepower Stingray Coupe will be $51,995, while the Stingray Convertible will go for $56,995 (*both prices include a $995 destination fee). This means that the price increase from 2013 to 2014 is just $1,400 for the coupe and $2,395 for the convertible - pretty modest increases considering the upgrade in specifications. Of course, neither price accounts for the sort of dealer markup that might grace early C7 window stickers, especially since less than a third of all Chevrolet dealers will be allocated Corvette models to sell at the car's launch.
Now, these prices are for the base car, so if you're wondering how much a fully loaded Stingray will run, Chevy has given us a good indication of that as well. The coupe we saw on display at the Detroit Auto Show (shown above), for example, would run $73,360 including options such as the $2,800 Z51 Performance Package, $2,495 competition sport seats and the $1,795 Magnetic Ride Control option - just to name a few. Stepping up to the 3LT trim level that brings a full leather interior will run an extra $8,005 over the base price.
While $20,000 in options may seem like a lot, this "as-tested" price still has the C7 competitively priced against rival coupes like the Porsche 911 and Nissan GT-R. Speaking of price comparisons, Chevrolet also points out that the C7 Stingray Z51 costs $2,200 less than the C6 Grand Sport while delivering better acceleration (0-60 mph in less than four seconds) and improved track performance (including more than 1 g in cornering).
Chevy gets cracking on Cruze EV fleet testing
Tue, 21 Sep 2010Chevrolet Cruze EV - Click above for high-res image gallery
The Chevrolet Volt hasn't yet gone on sale, but General Motors is looking at ways of expanding its electric vehicle lineup. Chevy, along with partner LG, is employing a group of all-electric cars in the form of the Cruze. The sedans are part of a demonstration fleet which is located in Seoul, South Korea and is being used to provide data in an electric vehicle research project. The goal is to gather information on driving patterns and charging behavior in addition to consumer acceptance.
The Cruze EVs, along with some Daewoo Lacetti Premieres EVs, are the first fleet of full-size electric vehicles and should provide invaluable information for The General. Staying full-size means not sacrificing cargo space, so the battery pack is mounted to the underbody, leaving the trunk area open for plenty recyclable, canvas grocery bags.
