1970 Chevrolet Blazer Base Sport Utility 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Mansfield, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1970 Chevrolet Blazer a buddy and I picked up a couple of years ago in Fayette County, PA. The truck had been sitting for a long time and was last inspected in 1998. It looked as though the previous owner started a restoration and stopped after realizing he was in over his head. We winched her on a car hauler and brought her home. The previous owner had picked up a new soft top and rail system and a poly fuel cell to replace the leaking stocker. It has a set of white wagon wheels and is in desperate need of tires. The tires on it hold air for a while, but are pretty worn and weather checked. The front left has a spare tire on it because it made for easier loading and unloading from the car hauler. Once we got her home I pulled the stock intake, carb, distributor, wires, and plugs. I replaced the plugs, installed some Accel plug wires, and a HEI distributor. I swapped the cast iron two barrel intake for an aluminum Edelbrock four barrel intake. The carb is a 600 CFM, electric choke Edelbrock. The valve covers, thermostat housing, and air cleaner are all Edelbrock as well. Once the intake was buttoned up, we hooked up a temporary fuel cell and bumped it over to see where the timing was hitting. The truck fired right up and settled into an idle. As long as the battery is charged, that's all you have to do. Just bump the key and it fires right up every time....way better than my '79 does! The transmission is a manual, three speed on the column that shifts perfectly. Our plan was to remove the column shift and install an automatic for ease of use. The passenger and rear sets are in good shape, but the driver's seat needs some attention. There's a removable GMC center console as well as the push bar mounted on the front bumper. The lights, gauges, and indicators all work as they should and the wiring looks good save the switch that was installed for a set of off road lights on the push bar. The switch and lights were removed. There is no stereo, but the dash is otherwise in great shape. It had been a while since either of us had run a three speed, but once familiarized we had no problem navigating all over the property with the Blazer in 2 and 4 wheel drive. As stated, there is a new poly fuel cell in the rear that needs installed as well as an aftermarket soft top. We didn't attempt to install either as we used the Blazer for running around the property. That was pretty much all the good, so I'll move on to the not so good. The body is in need of extensive repair. I could ramble on about all of the parts that have rust, but I'll let the pics do the talking. The frame has scaling, but only appears to have one hold on the side of the c channel above the left rear shock mount. Below you'll find a link to a short video of us firing her up. The idle is a bit high as the choke isn't hooked up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tLZUA6CB6M&feature=youtu.be The truck will come with the stock intake, manifold, carb, and some miscellaneous spare parts. The truck can be driven on to a trailer for transport. Drop me a line with any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. This is a no reserve auction for a good old classic truck that needs a new home! |

2014 Chevy Cruze Diesel arrives with 42 mpg for $25,695*
Thu, 07 Feb 2013The last time General Motors had a diesel passenger car in the US, it was the 1.8-liter 1986 Chevette. At the 2013 Chicago Auto Show today, GM is unveiling the much-anticipated 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Diesel. The compact bows with a 2.0-liter turbo-diesel four-cylinder engine that boasts 148 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, with full twist coming on at just 2,000 rpm. What's more, the common-rail, direct-injection diesel features an overboost function that allows the engine to deliver up to 280 lb-ft of torque for 10 seconds at a time. Even with 10 more horsepower and 110 more pound-feet of torque than the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four-cylinder in the Cruze, the 2.0-liter diesel engine can return up to 42 mpg (highway) bolted to its six-speed automatic transmission.
If you're counting, that figure meets the less powerful Cruze Eco with a six-speed manual transmission. More importantly, the auto transmission Cruze Diesel matches its main competition, the Volkswagen Jetta TDI, in highway fuel economy. The Cruze 2.0 TD (as it will be badged) can also handle up to 20 percent biodiesel (B20), whereas the Jetta is rated only for B5. General Motors has not released city fuel economy for its newest diesel, but we do know how much it will cost you to jump behind the driver's seat.
GM will kindly ask for $25,695, plus an $810 destination fee. That marks a $2,115 premium over a loaded Cruze LTZ Auto and $2,640 more than the Jetta TDI, though the MSRP will net you a leather interior, 17-inch alloy wheels and an Aero Performance Package, as well as a two-year maintenance plan and five-year, 100,000-mile powertrain warranty. Compared to the gas-powered Cruze, you also lose a couple cubic feet of rear cargo space thanks to a 17-liter diesel emission fluid tank. That urea fluid, which helps put the clean in clean diesel, will need to be refilled at least every 10,000 miles.
Chevy shows much-improved 2014 Corvette interior in new video
Mon, 11 Feb 2013If you want a closer look at what went into designing and building the interior for the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette, we've got just the thing. General Motors has released a new video detailing the cabin's evolution from conception to execution, complete with commentary from Ryan Vaughn, performance car interior design manager with Chevrolet. The quick clip details how manufacturing, engineering and design within General Motors worked together from the first sketches to ensure no compromises had to be made later down the line. How novel.
With plenty of hides traced with contrast stitching and available real carbon fiber trim, the cabin looks to be a few hundred miles ahead of the C6. Given how readily critics derided the previous generation for its cabin, the C7 should make writers work a little harder to find something to complain about. Check out the video below for yourself.
Chevy SS prototype spotted wearing Pontiac G8 clothes
Tue, 28 Aug 2012
Do not adjust your computer screen, you are not seeing the rebirth of the Pontiac brand. General Motors has chosen to use a G8 to disguise a test mule for the latest prototype of the forthcoming Chevrolet SS. The G8 was closely related to the Holden Commodore and Vauxhall VXR, the platform upon which the new Chevrolet performance model will be based. It should come as little surprise, then, that GM has opted to use the cladding from the former G8.
Thought the front clip of this mule is pure Pontiac, note the vents immediately behind the front wheel. That is a distinctive design hallmark of the Vauxhall VXR. Also note that this vehicle is right-hand drive, as the Holden and its Chevy counterpart will be very closely related. That likely includes potential drivetrains. The spy photos of this mule also reveal very wide rear tires, and rear wheels that do not match the fronts.
