1973 Chevy K5 Blazer Convertable on 2040-cars
Chenoa, Illinois, United States
|
Up for bid is my 1973 Chevy K5 Blazer 4x4. It has the original 350 in it and a turbo 350 trans. It has an awesome sounding exhaust with long tube headers that was custom made for this truck. I removed the old points ignition system and installed a new MSD HEI distributor. I installed a 4'' rough country suspension lift and new 35'' Cooper Discoverer STT tires. Before I bought it, the transmission was rebuilt along with the carb. The front drive shaft was removed when I got the truck and since I have never needed the four wheel drive I never put one in it. I will include one with the sale to go in it. Somewhere along the road the a/c was removed, the brackets and wiring are all still there just no compressor or lines. The interior has been completely redone with new carpet, reupholstered seats, and sound mat installed underneath the carpet. This is a very original truck with only one repaint. It's hard for me to explain how solid this truck is. Everything on the bottom side is still painted black with no rust what so ever. I tried to show in one picture a few small pin holes in the bottom of the passenger fender. The drivers side fender is dented on the bottom from a tire blowing out. The paint job is fair, Its by no means a show paint job, but its really shiny and still looks good. It has dents here and there nothing major or out of the ordinary for a 73. When rolling up the back window you must be careful because it likes to come off the track. The seals on the top could be replaced but I didn't worry about it cause I didn't drive it much with the top on it. The engine has never been removed to my knowledge. It runs AWESOME I would not be afraid to take it anywhere. It was bought new and spent most of its life in Tuscon, Arizona. It is rock solid!! To my knowledge I am only the fourth owner of this truck. I purchased it from a guy in Chicago fall of 2011, he bought if from the second owner in Arizona and had it shipped to Chicago. The guy I bought it from never even had the top on it. It has seen no rain since he bought it. I looked long and hard before I found this one. They only made this style K5 blazer with the full removable top 73,74, and 75. If you have any questions at all or would like to come see it please call 815-867-0116.

Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
GM recalling 426,000 sedans over faulty transmission shift cable
Fri, 21 Sep 2012General Motors is recalling some 426,240 sedans that may have a faulty transmission shift cable, according to a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report this morning. The recall concerns a fault within four-speed automatic transmissions equipped on 2007-2010 Saturn Aura models, and 2008-2010 Chevrolet Malibu and Pontiac G6 models.
The report specifies that tabs on the transmission shift cable may fracture and separate. Such a fault could cause a discrepancy between the actual position of the transmission and the apparent position of the shift lever.
GM is currently working to notify owners of the vehicles in question, and dealers will check and replace shift cables free of charge. Scroll down to read the complete NHTSA report.
Chevy Camaro is a good sport, wishes Ford Mustang Happy 50th
Tue, 15 Apr 2014It was 1966 when Chevrolet launched its challenger to the wildly successful Ford Mustang, the Camaro. While the competition between the two brands was already healthy, the arrival of the Camaro set off one of the most intense, model-to-model rivalries in the industry.
That competitive spirit hasn't stopped Chevy and the Camaro from wishing Ford's iconic muscle car a Happy 50th Birthday as the Ford's April 17 anniversary rolls around. These two cars have been linked over the years, and while the rivalry took a break for a few years in the 2000s, today's competition between the Camaro and Mustang is as fierce as it's ever been.
You might recall that this friendliness when it comes to major milestones isn't too rare. Ford put on quite a display for General Motors' hundredth anniversary back in 2008. As the Camaro's fiftieth birthday approaches in 2016, we wouldn't be surprised to see the Mustang sending its best wishes to its Bowtie rival.
