 Up for auction is a very clean 90 K5 Blazer.  It is currently being used as an everyday driver.  All maintenance has been kept up and are all current.  It has the factory throttle body injected 5.7 350 engine.  700R4 4 speed automatic transmission.  Just did major tune up recently.  Including spark plugs, ignition wires, distributor cap and rotor.  Alternator and starter are new.  Battery is about a year old.  Coolant temp and MAP sensors are new.  Fresh 5W30 Mobil One synthetic oil change.  New transmission filter and fluid.  Still has the factory front and rear axles with the 3.73 gears and rear limited slip.  New air filter and fuel filter.  The AC still has the R12 freon and I had it repaired and recharged.  It will freeze you out.  Rear brakes, drums, hardware and wheel cylinders were replaced.  Front rotors and brake pads are new.  Tires have over 85 percent life left on them.  They are 33X12.50R15 Goodyear MT/R tires mounted on American Racing 15X10 black steel wheels.  Power steering gear box has a slow leak.  Suspension is also new with 4" Procomp lift.  Front spring was replaced with Procomp lift spring and rear is 4" iron block.  Steering are was replaced and body mounts were replaced with Energy Suspension bushings.  All shocks are new with the lift.  Has factory dual front shock set up.  Procomp factory replacement steering stablizer.  The road manner is excellent.  The Offroad capability is also surprisingly well.  Took it rock crawling up in Big Bear CA month ago and had no problems what so ever. 

The exterior was repainted in the factory red color because the original paints clear coat was coming off.  I had a body shop strip it down and respray it.  The top I had painted satin black because I think it looks better then the red.  The body is rust free and strait.  Even the doors line up perfectly and shut like new.  All the weather stripping was replaced after the paint work was done.  The windshield is also brand new.  The grille was showing its age so I had them paint it satin black.  I think it looks cleaner then the black and chrome.  The bumpers are still factory and have some dings here and there but look okay from 5 feet.  Was thinking about having them redone in satin black also.  I just had a class IV hitch installed with trailer brakes and 7 pin connector for towing. 

The interior is mostly original.  The carpet is brand new replacement.  the factory side panels in the rear were cardboard and the material was looking worn so I had new ones made and had it covered in faux suede. The doors also have the same material in the inserts.  It looks great and custom.  The headliner was replaced in the past.  It is still good.  All the trim is in good shape.  The dash pad is the only bad thing, it has a few cracks.  The radio is the factory installed tape player with the eq.  It still works, just use the tape adapter for my ipod.  I changed all the dash lights to smd led bulbs and it looks awsome at night.  Nice and bright, even a hid blue color.  The driver bottom seat it starting to tear, the other seats are good, I just had them cleaned.  The fuel guage doesn't work correctly, was told it needs a sending unit.  I might have it repaired before the end of auction.  All depending on time.  I just keep it full and watch the trip odo.


I'm not really wanting to sell it, but other priorities have come up.  I have put a lot of money into it and love driving it.  I don't want to sell it but life makes us do things we don't like anyway.  I have always wanted a K5 Blazer and now I have to sell it.  The reserve is a lot lower then most being sold.  If you have any questions about the truck please let me know.  I drove it to Salt Lake and back 3 months ago.  Got 15 mpg.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.

Pics Aplenty: Meet the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra [w/poll]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

Today was a pretty big day for General Motors, debuting the all-new Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra light-duty pickup trucks ahead of their official showcase at the 2013 Detroit Auto Show. And now that the dust has settled at GM's big reveal event, we've had a chance to snap dozens of photos of the new pickup pair from every angle.
We already told you the important bits earlier today (click here in case you missed it), but let's recap. Under the hood are three new engines - a 4.3-liter V6, 5.3-liter V8 and 6.2-liter V8 (you know, a version of the small-block that'll also be found under the hood of the C7 Corvette), all mated to six-speed automatic transmissions. The 2014 model year marks the return of the Z71 off-road package with Rancho shocks, front tow hooks and beefier underbody protection. Inside, there's a host of new technology and a greater focus on better quality and refinement.
Some of the nitty-gritty specifics (like engine output numbers and fuel economy) have yet to be revealed, and since we haven't driven the finished products yet, it's hard to say how these trucks will fare against rivals like the Ram 1500 and Ford F-150. For now, we can only judge these two books by their covers, and while we do like the designs of the new trucks, we Autoblog staffers are torn on exactly which one looks best.
