Minty 4x4 K5 Blazer with 461 BBC -- *MUST SEE*
Overall Description
Near immaculate, laser straight 1991 4x4 K5 Silverado Blazer. One of the nicest, cleanest, built K5's you will ever see. Absolutely rust free, bondo free, accident free and damage free. This has always been a southern truck and has never seen mud, snow or salt. It has rarely seen rain and has never been off-roading. This truck is a beauty and gets comments daily. You can't park anywhere without someone coming up to admire and comment. Professionally built 461 BBC engine with less than 1,000 miles that runs like a top, not some junk yard salvage project. This truck was built with reliability and everyday drivability as priorities. Unlike many Blazer projects, this one is not "over the top" with hood scoops, crazy tire sizes, ear-bleeding subwoofers.
1991 was the last year this generation full-size Blazer was made. Only 7,332 were produced.
Highlights: 461 cubic inch BBC with true dual 3" exhaust, Performance 700R4 transmission, 4.56 gears, 4 inch suspension lift, 35 inch tires. See below for the details.
The only reason I am selling this K5 is because I need a pickup truck. And I feel the truck is just too nice to be exposed to the midwest weather elements.
This Blazer started out immaculate (rust and damage free) and then the build was started. This Blazer build is different from the rest because it started out in near perfect condition. This truck has more than $30,000 invested in the build and is well documented.
I have a thick book of receipts, history and information for the work done on this truck.
I have a clear and clean title in hand. I have registration proof this is a southern truck. Prior to the resto-modifications, this truck had approximately 140k rust-free miles. This was not a frame-off restoration because it was simply not needed.
If you have any questions, please email me. This awesome truck is destined for someone who appreciates the truck as a solid build, done right and is not a back-yard hack job. So if you call, please be serious and not just a tire kicker. Thank you.

Rust free, white paint in very good condition. The blazer has been painted a 2004 Toyota White (paint code 040). This paint was professionally applied, not a garage hack-job.

GM says hybrid Corvette no laughing matter [w/poll]
Fri, 30 Aug 2013When Mark Reuss was in LA recently, he sat down to have a few words with the scribes at the Los Angeles Times. When the issue of a hybrid Corvette came up, Reuss answered with "Don't laugh." The General Motors president is a complete fan of the possibility, calling it "attractive" and "really fun," believing it would improve GM expertise and that "people would love it."
Naturally, the president being supportive of an idea doesn't give indication that a hybrid Corvette is on the way. However, with supercars like the Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari giving hybrid tech a solid, if remote, place in the performance car world, the inexorable trickle-down of technology means we shouldn't be surprised if and when it does happen.
And now that we have that non-negative half-answer to a speculative question, it would be irresponsible for us not to commence rumormilling for the C8 Corvette. Taking Reuss at his word, the C8 will obviously be a hybrid with all-wheel-drive - the left side wheels driven with electric motors, the right side with the mid-mounted, four-cylinder diesel engine. With coefficient of drag of just .16, figure on a 0-to-60 mile-per-hour time of under 2 seconds and an all-electric range of something like 30 miles at top speed. Don't forget, folks, you read it here first.
Watch this creative way to pull a truck's engine
Fri, 08 Mar 2013Living in an apartment complex has its benefits, but for shade-tree mechanics who like/need to work on their own cars, it definitely has a number of disadvantages. Relatively simple tasks such as brake jobs and oil changes are difficult when you don't have dedicated driveway space, to say nothing of more in-depth repairs... like pulling an engine, for example.
For these types of challenges, a little ingenuity and plenty of muscle are needed to get the job done. Scroll down to watch these four men snatch the V8 out of a Chevrolet K1500 using nothing but a chain, landscape timber and good ol' fashioned brute strength. Good work, gentlemen.
GM recalling 118K Colorado, Canyon pickups over missing hood latches
Thu, 20 Dec 2012General Motors has announced a recall of 118,800 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon pickup trucks due to the possibility of secondary hood latches not being installed at the time of manufacture. The affected vehicles are from the 2010, 2011 and 2012 model years, all of which were built between November 9, 2009 and August 28, 2012.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration report, these trucks fail to "comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, 'Hood Latch System.' The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch." In other words, owners of these trucks could find their vehicles' hoods opening unexpectedly while driving.
The official recall campaign is expected to begin on January 17, 2013. Dealers will inspect the affected pickups and if a secondary hood latch is not present, one will be installed free of charge. Scroll down to read the official NHTSA report.
