1971 2wd Chevrolet Blazer Cst on 2040-cars
Middle Grove, New York, United States
|
Bought this ol' girl to cruise around and fix up a little over summer. Was originally selling to pay for expenses but everything is taken care of and now I wound up with a new Sierra so this has to go.
This is a factory 2WD as indicated by the VIN and a factory CST as indicated by the original build sheet. Originally a 350/350 truck. It was passed around between a father, a son and their best friend for about 25 years before I bought it. Painted in 1995, top was smoothed and painted with it. It now has a stock rebuilt 454 with a Turbo 400 automatic. Lowered with dropped a-arms and dropped coils front and dropped coils again out back, 3" front/4" rear. Black interior with CD player and a Lokar shifter with an LED shift indicator. Paint is really nice for being 19 years old, but has some small chips here or there. Top is in great condition and is actually a single wall top with tinted glass but unfortunately the rear hatch needs the hardware to lock it as well as the lever arms to lift it and keep it elevated. It has power brakes and power steering. Originally a CST truck, it still has the original build sheet and has 93k original miles. All hoses and belts have been replaced within the last 200 miles or so, the engine/transmission was serviced, the rear end was serviced, a new battery installed, new rear 4" drop coils, new Lokar floor shifter with the fancy LED shift Indicator system, stock rear seat armrests installed, new stock mirrors, a few misc lights replaced, new sill plates installed and some other small knick knacks. This blazer is a great cruiser that constantly turns heads and receives waves of compliments and thumbs up. The bad: Rear hatch requires hardware to lift and lock the hatch; There is a small amount of bubbling in the bottom of the doors that has remained the same for the last 10 years or so....you can see it in the pictures. The inside of the doors were POR 15'ed before the exterior were painted. What does she need? Really in order to drive and enjoy it...nothing. The blazer is by no means perfect, it is not a show vehicle. It'll need some more TLC from someone willing to spend some more time going through it. Feel free to ask questions and no I do not need help selling it. Recent additions - 7/28 New exhaust manifold gaskets, new MSD plug wires, new Bosch platinum spark plugs, new Chrome door handles, new Chrome exterior rear view mirrors, and new window to top seals. 518-867-6550 Blazer is sold as is, where is and as seen in the pictures which were taken 7/14/14. Buyer is responsible for shipping arrangements and I will be as flexible as humanly possible. |

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.
Ford, Toyota clean up in Best Car For The Money Awards
Fri, 22 Feb 2013The U.S. News Best Cars for the Money Awards picks winners by looking at the average transaction price, five-year total cost of ownership, the regard a car has from the automotive press, reliability figures from J.D. Power and Associates and safety data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. The result, according to the magazine, is "the best combination of critical acclaim and long-term value."
Ford nabbed six of the 21 categories that received awards this year, the Focus, Fusion, Fusion Hybrid, Taurus, Escape and Edge getting trophies. Toyota and its Lexus and Scion sub-brands took another five, the Tacoma and Tundra owning the two categories given to pickup trucks. The other ten awards were split between Honda with three, Buick with two, and one each for Subaru, BMW, Hyundai, Chevrolet and Mazda.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again
Wed, 13 Mar 2013One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")
