1970 Chevrolet Blazer Base Sport Utility 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Mansfield, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1970 Chevrolet Blazer a buddy and I picked up a couple of years ago in Fayette County, PA. The truck had been sitting for a long time and was last inspected in 1998. It looked as though the previous owner started a restoration and stopped after realizing he was in over his head. We winched her on a car hauler and brought her home. The previous owner had picked up a new soft top and rail system and a poly fuel cell to replace the leaking stocker. It has a set of white wagon wheels and is in desperate need of tires. The tires on it hold air for a while, but are pretty worn and weather checked. The front left has a spare tire on it because it made for easier loading and unloading from the car hauler. Once we got her home I pulled the stock intake, carb, distributor, wires, and plugs. I replaced the plugs, installed some Accel plug wires, and a HEI distributor. I swapped the cast iron two barrel intake for an aluminum Edelbrock four barrel intake. The carb is a 600 CFM, electric choke Edelbrock. The valve covers, thermostat housing, and air cleaner are all Edelbrock as well. Once the intake was buttoned up, we hooked up a temporary fuel cell and bumped it over to see where the timing was hitting. The truck fired right up and settled into an idle. As long as the battery is charged, that's all you have to do. Just bump the key and it fires right up every time....way better than my '79 does! The transmission is a manual, three speed on the column that shifts perfectly. Our plan was to remove the column shift and install an automatic for ease of use. The passenger and rear sets are in good shape, but the driver's seat needs some attention. There's a removable GMC center console as well as the push bar mounted on the front bumper. The lights, gauges, and indicators all work as they should and the wiring looks good save the switch that was installed for a set of off road lights on the push bar. The switch and lights were removed. There is no stereo, but the dash is otherwise in great shape. It had been a while since either of us had run a three speed, but once familiarized we had no problem navigating all over the property with the Blazer in 2 and 4 wheel drive. As stated, there is a new poly fuel cell in the rear that needs installed as well as an aftermarket soft top. We didn't attempt to install either as we used the Blazer for running around the property. That was pretty much all the good, so I'll move on to the not so good. The body is in need of extensive repair. I could ramble on about all of the parts that have rust, but I'll let the pics do the talking. The frame has scaling, but only appears to have one hold on the side of the c channel above the left rear shock mount. Below you'll find a link to a short video of us firing her up. The idle is a bit high as the choke isn't hooked up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tLZUA6CB6M&feature=youtu.be The truck will come with the stock intake, manifold, carb, and some miscellaneous spare parts. The truck can be driven on to a trailer for transport. Drop me a line with any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. This is a no reserve auction for a good old classic truck that needs a new home! |

Chevy rolls out Silverado HD High Country
Wed, 09 Apr 2014It's been a good week for heavy-duty truck buyers. First, Ram revealed the Black Package for its HD trucks, then it rolled out its new Power Wagon, and now Chevy's getting in on the action with its Silverado High Country HD. Okay, so it may not pack quite the attitude of Ram's latest 2500-series offerings, but the High Country HD will come as a welcome addition to the Chevy Trucks range to those looking to pull their horse, boat or other trailer without skimping on creature comforts.
Rolled out a little under a year ago, the High Country trim is Chevy's answer to the likes of the GMC Denali, Ford King Ranch and Ram Longhorn. It has until now only been offered on the light duty, 1500-series Silverado, but now extends to the 2500 and 3500-series HD models, as well.
So what sets a High Country pickup apart from lesser Chevy trucks? You'll be able to pick it out based on its chrome horizontal grille, body-color bumpers, 6-inch tubular side steps, 20-inch chrome wheels (18-inch on the 3500 and 17-inch on the dualie) and, of course, plenty of special badging. But it's inside where the High Country makes its mark, with a cabin decked out in saddle brown perforated leather, seats that are both heated and cooled, eight-inch touchscreen with full MyLink suite, Bose audio and park assist functions front and rear to keep those color-keyed bumpers looking fresh. (Though Chevy hasn't yet showed us the interior of the HD model, it'll presumably look mostly the same as the cab in the 1500 High Country in the gallery below.)
2013 Chevy COPO Camaro announced with two new engines and manual option
Thu, 07 Mar 2013Chevrolet is following up the 2012 COPO Camaro with another limited run of the drag-strip-ready production car for 2013. Ditching the superchargers, the 2013 COPO Camaro can only be equipped with one of three naturally aspirated V8 engines, and other new features include the option of a manual transmission, new front springs, some minor styling changes and a lower starting price of $86,000. All cars are designed to abide by the rules of the NHRA's Stock Eliminator or Super Stock classifications, depending on in which series buyers wish to enter their Chevrolet Camaro.
Returning for 2013 is the 427-cubic-inch V8 producing 425 horsepower, but the new engines include a 325-hp 350-CID V8 and a 375-hp 396-CID V8. Buyers can select to purchase all three engines, and each will be matched with the sequence number of that car; the track-only COPO cars will not have vehicle identification numbers and can't be registered for street use.
Chevrolet is also offering unique enthusiast-specific options such as a COPO Build Book and the opportunity for owners to help assemble their car's engine at the Chevrolet Performance Build Center in Wixom, MI.
Watch NASCAR racer Jeff Gordon put one over on a used car dealer... sorta
Wed, 13 Mar 2013Full Disclosure: in my younger days, I loved nothing more than tormenting passengers with my behind-the-wheel hijinks. Once, after a particularly artful handbrake turn on a two-lane at around 50 miles per hour, I left one backseat occupant crying in their own lap. This isn't necessarily something to be proud of, but it gives you a glimpse into why it is that I find this ad from Pepsi so damn disappointing. The premise is beautiful. Take NASCAR legend Jeff Gordon, give him a disguise and set him loose upon some unsuspecting used car dealer. Hilarity ensues.
Except that this Pepsi Max commercial is so obviously staged, it can't help but feel like some ham-fisted marketing fail. From the strategically placed aftermarket cupholder mounted mid-dash for the hidden camera to the fact that the supposed dealer Camaro is displayed as a 2009 model (Hint: Chevrolet didn't make any), this clip is about as organic as a Twinkie. Still, we would never turn down a chance to watch Gordon thrash on a rental-spec coupe - only problem is, he probably didn't even do the driving himself. Check it out below.
