K5 Blazer Chalet 4x4 On 3/4 Ton Axles, Running Driving Project. California Truck on 2040-cars
Concord, California, United States
|
You are bidding on a 1977 K5 Blazer with the rare Chalet package. This is an extremely rare truck. The chalet was a factory option and only 1800 of them were ever produced.This truck is not stock. The axles and suspension have been upgraded from 1/2 ton to 3/4 ton from a 1982 3/4 ton truck.The truck was in the process of being restored. The engine runs great it shifts well and 4x4 works. The brakes have been completely replaced with new calipers, rotors, drums pads and brake lines across the rear axle. The only brake component not connected is the park brake cables. The rear driveline has been modified to work with the larger rear axle, not a conversion u-joint.. The interior needs to be freshened up and is still all original (hence the "project")This is a California truck and the body is in very nice shape. There are only minor dings there is a dent on the passenger side front quarter. The paint could be freshened up.The pop up top is functional. This is a solid example with a rock solid body. And seating for six people. It has spent most of its life in Arizona and the last few years in California. It comes with a clean Arizona title and bill of sale. Also included are boxes of new trim pieces and new and used parts. The owner was in the middle of restoring the blazer when he unfortunately was in an automobile accident and died. I am listing the blazer for the family. I have been through the truck and did the work on the brakes, driveline and checked the motor and transmission. I have driven the truck and all lights and dash functions are working. It also has an electric trailer brake controller installed. This is an easy project truck and can be driven at this time. Please pay close attention to the pictures and ask any questions before you bid.

Chevy Corvette gets Valet Mode with Performance Data Recorder [w/video]
Mon, 18 Aug 2014For the 2015-model-year, Chevrolet introduces Valet Mode for the Corvette, an enhancement to the Performance Data Recorder (PDR) already available and to your peace of mind. The PDR already captures 720p HD video with a windshield-mounted camera, records interior audio with a cabin microphone and gathers telemetry data using GPS, saving the data to an SD card in the glovebox. You can then watch your track-day antics with various information overlays on the center console screen.
Valet Mode will let you hit 'Replay' when your car gets pulled up front smelling vaguely of fricasseed clutch. Turned on by entering a four-digit code, it also locks the interior storage spaces and turns off the infotainment system. It can't be turned off until the code is re-entered. There's a press release below with more information as well as a video that explains how it works, with the obligatory dig at the 'Vette's biggest foe.
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.
Hot Wheels' Twitter-enabled vending machine coughs up free Camaro diecasts
Wed, 27 Feb 2013There are still plenty of companies that haven't gotten the whole social media thing down pat yet, but Hot Wheels isn't one of them. During the recent Canadian International Auto Show in Toronto, Hot Wheels created a lot of buzz for itself by using a vending machine filled with Chevrolet Camaro models, but instead of money to get the cars, show attendees just had to use Twitter.
To get the free car, people were asked to send a tweet to Hot Wheels Canada saying what they liked about the new Hot Wheels Edition Camaro, and including the #ChevyCIAS hashtag. This seemed to be a popular marketing tool, too, as AdWeek reports that the @HotWheelsCanada account more than tripled in followers during the course of the 10-day show. Looking ahead, this could open up even more innovative marketing possibilities using social media.
Check out the video posted below to watch how it works, and while the auto show has ended and the free-car giveaway has too, we're almost certain that some of the 1,500 freebies will make their way onto eBay.
