1988 Chevy K5 Blazer 4wd on 2040-cars
Haines, Oregon, United States
It was garaged for most of its existence as you'll see - NO Rust (slight on back hatch hinges but nothing major). And currently garaged. We live in Eastern Oregon, considered "high desert" so dry, dry climate. We also have a place in Stanislaus county, California so we can deliver. We'll be in that area so possible delivery - ask about those details. Our local mechanic could not believe how perfect and great shape the engine and all the working parts are, he said, they didn't even appeared worn at all. Original 350 engine, 114,00k original miles. We bought it with 105,368miles, took a trip to California and it drives smoother than my 2500HD Duramax!. Interior is all original, perfect condition. The air conditioner is the only thing that does not work. Heater is perfect, insta-hot, just like the old days. All original emblems. On the right side of the top, near the right side of the back window, there is some minor dent, probable running to something where the previous owners tried to bond - see detailed photo. Other that this there is just normal wear on this vehicle - no major dents! We just detailed it so it is pristine clean throughout. It has the original factory installed Cassette Player AM/FM Radio. Dash is original, perfect condition as it has been covered with the dash mat you see in the photos. Entire dash is in great shape, with original white paint, vents, knobs - all very nice. It is 4 wheel drive, with manual (aftermarket) Warn hubs, we have the original hubs if you want those. New tires with 8600mi on them - see photo showing the tread. While in detailing small spots of paint came off, so it may be an indication the hood was repainted at one point, not sure and previous owner did not know. A paint professional could tell you that - we just want to disclose all the information we know about. We added the grill guard, (another $900) due to the area we live in has lots of deer, so we wanted to protect the vehicle. We also added a second battery for extra starting power and we purchased but never installed the sliding back windows which we will include in this sale. Those of you enthusiast that know the value can appreciate, not only this rare model of vehicle in this condition but that all is original as you'll see these days - at this price. We wanted it, bought it, enjoyed it and now want to move on with our next project. Engine/ride is so smooth, quiet, truly a great vehicle. Call us with any questions. Mike 541-805-8886

GM warning 800,000 owners that their cars may need oil changes more frequently than they say
Fri, 05 Apr 2013The days of changing your engine oil every 3,000 miles are long gone thanks to most cars having automatic oil monitoring systems, but about 800,000 General Motors vehicles apparently have incorrect monitoring software that is leading to premature engine component wear. According to Autoweek, certain 2010-2012 Buick LaCrosse, Regal, Chevrolet Equinox and GMC Terrain models equipped with 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines could be going too long in between oil changes resulting in a higher-than-normal number of warranty claims for the engine's balance chain. The balance chain links the balance shaft to the crankshaft, and a worn one can produce higher noise levels.
As a fix, GM dealers will be reprogramming the software for the monitors in an effort to reduce the interval between oil changes, which varies based on driving habits and conditions. Through February 2015, the software update will be done at no cost to vehicle owners, but since this is not a recall, after that point, it will be up to the discretion of dealers as to whether or not they will charge for the service. What isn't immediately clear is whether GM plans on giving assistance to out-of-warranty customers who are experiencing engine issues from the worn chain.
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.
Refreshed 2014 Camaro confirmed for New York debut
Thu, 07 Mar 2013We've already seen leaked specs and potential spy shots, but the refreshed 2014 Chevrolet Camaro will make its official debut at the New York Auto Show in a few weeks.
Besides a tweaked exterior and the possibility of a high-output LS7 under the hood, we really don't know much else about the 2014 Camaro, but here's hoping for an improved interior, too.
In addition to the refreshed Camaro, Chevrolet will also be showing off the recently introduced Chevrolet SS, making its debut on the auto show circuit, and we'll also get our first look at the C7 Corvette coupe and convertible side-by-side.
