1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer on 2040-cars

Year:1972 Mileage:12038 Color: Paint
Location:

Mill Valley, California, United States

Mill Valley, California, United States

Up for sale in my 1972 Blazer. Unfortunately it has a salvage title and we don't want to put any more money into it because of this fact. We are looking to unload it for far less than what we have put into it. My loss, and lack of doing proper research prior to buying a Salvaged vehicle is your gain 

I bought this truck a year before my son was going to be street legal to drive with every intention to let him bang it up and "learn" to drive the 7 miles to and from his high school. We put a bit of money into it, but we were careful not to put too much because of the Salvage Title.

Turns out, we were lied to and misled. We were told this truck had been stolen, and the insurance company paid out a claim, thus giving it a Salvage Title when it was recovered. We were told we'd be able to get this salvage title removed because it hadn't been in an accident, or victim of a flood or fire. All this was untrue. You cannot get a Salvage title removed. 

Due to the DMV rules here where we live and insurance requirements my son cannot drive this car legally and be covered adequately. This truck is basically a piece of front yard art. 

As much as I need to sell this truck, and buy him a non-Salvage vehicle, I also value my 100% rating on ebay. SO, my disclaimer is DONT BUY MY SALVAGE TRUCK UNLESS YOU INTEND TO TRAILER IT TO THE SAND DUNES OR MUD PITS AND INTEND TO USE THIS AS A TOY. 

If I get an offer for 1/2 of what I have into this truck...it's yours!!

Things done:

New Exterior Paint
New Tires
Powder Coated Original Rims
New 35' Tires and 4" Lift
New interior front seats
New Gas Tank
New LMC bumpers and lights and dash
New windshield 
New Battery, Shocks, Radiator

2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut

Mon, 28 Jan 2013

While most of the world is still coming down from all the hype surrounding the debut of the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray at the Detroit Auto Show earlier this month, we're already looking to the future. And according to Autoweek, the next chapter in the C7 story will unfold at the Geneva Motor Show in March. That's right, General Motors is reportedly using the Swiss stage as its venue to debut the Corvette Stingray convertible.
If this strikes you as odd, you aren't alone. After all, with a car that's such an American icon, we'd fully expect Chevrolet to unveil it here on our shores in either Chicago or New York. But according to Autoweek, GM is looking to boost export sales of its halo car, and since the C7 was engineered to compete with the world's best and brightest, showing it off in Geneva is somewhat of a smart move. What's more, those with sharp memories will recall that GM used the Geneva expo to debut the sixth-generation C6 Corvette convertible back in March 2004, so there's also a precedent.
Details surrounding the Corvette Stingray convertible are still slim, though we fully expect the 6.2-liter V8 and choice of either six-speed automatic or seven-speed manual transmissions to carry over unchanged. Prototypes spotted on the road showed the car fitted with a cloth convertible roof, as well.

Can A Fleet Queen Become a Fullsize King?
On paper, the Chevrolet Impala is a pretty strong seller, posting annual sales that have hovered right around 170,000 units for the last two years, but it only takes one trip to practically any rental car agency to discover where the majority of those sales have come from. In fact, General Motors told Autoblog that a full 70 percent of Impala sales last year went to fleet companies for things like rental cars and government vehicles. Logic tells us that this is neither good for resale values nor name equity, so Chevrolet is getting ready to roll out an all-new Impala with improved comfort, styling and technology, hoping to turn the tables on its retail-to-fleet ratio.
Chevrolet's sedans have come on quite strong in the last few months with the introduction of the Cruze diesel and the SS sedan, but while these will likely be low-volume sellers, there's more pressure for the new Impala to perform well as GM looks to slash fleet sales and compete with the wide variety of full-size sub-luxury sedans. Riding on a platform shared with the Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac XTS, the 2014 Impala will compete against the Hyundai Azera, Ford Taurus and Toyota Avalon on the more traditional side, while also looking to take a bite out of somewhat sportier models like the Chrysler 300/Dodge Charger twins and the Nissan Maxima. We headed to sunny San Diego to see if this totally new Impala can stand on its own without the assistance of fleet companies and rental agencies. [w/video

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect

Tue, 17 Aug 2010

2010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
