1973 Chevy K5 Blazer Convertable on 2040-cars
Chenoa, Illinois, United States
|
Up for bid is my 1973 Chevy K5 Blazer 4x4. It has the original 350 in it and a turbo 350 trans. It has an awesome sounding exhaust with long tube headers that was custom made for this truck. I removed the old points ignition system and installed a new MSD HEI distributor. I installed a 4'' rough country suspension lift and new 35'' Cooper Discoverer STT tires. Before I bought it, the transmission was rebuilt along with the carb. The front drive shaft was removed when I got the truck and since I have never needed the four wheel drive I never put one in it. I will include one with the sale to go in it. Somewhere along the road the a/c was removed, the brackets and wiring are all still there just no compressor or lines. The interior has been completely redone with new carpet, reupholstered seats, and sound mat installed underneath the carpet. This is a very original truck with only one repaint. It's hard for me to explain how solid this truck is. Everything on the bottom side is still painted black with no rust what so ever. I tried to show in one picture a few small pin holes in the bottom of the passenger fender. The drivers side fender is dented on the bottom from a tire blowing out. The paint job is fair, Its by no means a show paint job, but its really shiny and still looks good. It has dents here and there nothing major or out of the ordinary for a 73. When rolling up the back window you must be careful because it likes to come off the track. The seals on the top could be replaced but I didn't worry about it cause I didn't drive it much with the top on it. The engine has never been removed to my knowledge. It runs AWESOME I would not be afraid to take it anywhere. It was bought new and spent most of its life in Tuscon, Arizona. It is rock solid!! To my knowledge I am only the fourth owner of this truck. I purchased it from a guy in Chicago fall of 2011, he bought if from the second owner in Arizona and had it shipped to Chicago. The guy I bought it from never even had the top on it. It has seen no rain since he bought it. I looked long and hard before I found this one. They only made this style K5 blazer with the full removable top 73,74, and 75. If you have any questions at all or would like to come see it please call 815-867-0116.

GM already raising prices on 2014 Silverado and Sierra pickups
Mon, 14 Oct 2013General Motors must be pretty pleased with sales of its two newest pickups, the GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado, as it's announced price hikes for both models, as part of a planned price tweak.
Prices will be bumped by as much as $1,500, although weirdly, they'll be offset by as much as $1,500 in cash-back offers through the end of October. Fox Business reports that GM spokesman Jim Cain said of the price hike, "With the sell down of the '13 models nearly complete, this price adjustment was planned and is a normal part of business."
The move, as Fox is quick to point out, is an interesting one, as sales of the twin pickups struggled last month relative to the Ford F-Series, while both of GM's crosstown competitors have been aggressively undercutting Silverado and Sierra prices. The F-150 starts at $24,070 and the Ram 1500 comes in at $23,600, not counting any cash on the hood. A base Silverado, meanwhile, retails at $25,575.
2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray convertible headed for Geneva debut
Mon, 28 Jan 2013While 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.
2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit
Tue, 15 Jan 2013There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.
