Chevrolet Blazer Cst 4x4 on 2040-cars

Grand Junction, Colorado, United States

 I bought this truck last year with the intention of turning it into a restomod with new running gear and updates, but the guy that builds my custom vehicles talked me out of using this Blazer because it is in such good condition, and very original.  It would have been a shame to cut it up.  In addition to being a factory A/C Blazer, it also has a rare working factory tachometer in the center of the gauge cluster.   We purchased a different Blazer for my project that is almost complete, and I now need to make room in the garage.  The previous owner had rebuilt the brakes, installed new 33" Toyo MT tires, partially installed a Painless Wiring Harness, had headers and new exhaust installed, and repainted the body.  There was no rust as this was an Arizona vehicle, and I have photos to document the integrity and straightness of the body before paint.  The underside of the tub was painted with POR15 to keep the body rust free.  A larger gas tank is installed that looks like a Hickey product to me.  Im not sure of the capacity. 

Since I cant help myself, even though I knew I wouldn't be keeping this Blazer, we went ahead and took care of anything that would affect the reliability of the truck, as well as cleaning up the cosmetics.  The wiring was completed, and we addressed the sloppiness in the steering.  The motor fires up right away everytime, and everything works great.  I wouldn't hesitate to drive this truck anywhere.  When I purchased this truck we filled the bed with extra parts, both original and aftermarket that will come with this Blazer. 

This Blazer is in great condition for a driver, but it nowhere near a show truck.  I will try to list every deficiency that I can in order to present this vehicle in the truest light possible. 

- The paint is pretty and shiny, but it is what can be referred to as a 10 foot paint job.  It looks great from 10 feet away, but any closer and you can see the deformities that are present including small rock chips, small scratches, and crazing where holes were filled in.  Perfect paint for a driver quality vehicle because it looks nice, but your eyes don't tear up if you get a scratch on it.

-The grille surround could use a polishing, and there is small dent in the lower corner.

-The front bumper is pushed up slightly on the passenger side.

-The A/C compressor and related parts were sold by the previous owner.

-New fuel filler doors were installed in the body before paint, but the filler neck has not been attached to the new door.

-The fuel gauge works but it is rotated slightly to the right, so the reading is not accurate.

-The only leak is the transfer case.  I have the gasket kit, but I never got around to installing it.

-The blazer comes with a double wall hard top in decent condition.  The hatch needs to be repaired where one hinge attaches, and the coating put on by the previous owner should be stripped and repainted.  All hardware is there and it would be an easy fix.

That is all I can come up with that needs attention, this really is a solid truck.  If I find anything else I will add to the listing.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme

Mon, 17 Dec 2012

They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.

Kurt Busch to shake and bake (again) in Ricky Bobby car at Talladega

Sat, 19 Oct 2013

Kurt Busch will channel Ricky Bobby for another NASCAR race, this time driving a Wonder-sponsored Chevrolet SS, in this weekend's Camping World RV Sales 500 at the Talladega Motor Speedway. Unlike past tie-ins, though, there's actually an element of sponsorship here (the "Me" car was done when Busch was running on a team without sponsorship).
It was arranged by Flower Foods, the new owner of the Wonder brand. Wonder was part of the bankrupt Hostess company, which temporarily exited the US market 2012, and set off the Great Twinkie Shortage.
Busch has made something of a habit of channeling characters from famous racing movies, most recently running Tom Cruise's City Chevrolet livery from Days of Thunder in a Nationwide Series race earlier this year. Busch kicked off his movie-inspired antics, though, at Talladega in 2012, when he raced El Diablo's ("It's like... Spanish for like a fighting chicken") "Me" car complete with a cougar on the hood. He even went so far as to channel the lovable idiot that is Ricky Bobby during the race, dropping a few catchphrases about macchiatos and slingshots.

2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Convertible offers a few more views before reveal

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Over the weekend, Chevrolet released its first images of the new 2014 Corvette Stingray Convertible. Now, ahead of the droptop's official introduction tomorrow at the Geneva Motor Show, the automaker has given us a few more shots of the softop C7 showing off the car's rump albeit from a high, strategically positioned angle.
From this angle, it's hard to get a sense for how long and flat the decklid really is, but we can easily see that, like the rest of the C7's design, the new convertible's decklid and tonneau cover are far more detailed than the current car. We also get a better look at the rear haunches sans brake vents, which have apparently been moved to underneath the car in order to accommodate the top's hard cover.
As for the overall styling of the C7 convertible, with the top erected, we get some idea of what a coupe design (as opposed to the Stingray's fastback shape) would look like on this car. The C5 Corvette most recently had a coupe model that did away with the large glass hatchback, and we recently reported on a low-cost "coupe" model potentially being added to the C7's repertoire.
