My 1970 Chevrolet Blazer (2nd year produced - 11,527) has been completely restored and is in excellent condition. There are not many '69/'70 Blazers for sale - due to relatively low production numbers. You will find more 71/72 Blazers for sale, 72 being the last of the First Generation Blazers. The majority of the work was completed prior to my ownership - so I may or may not be able to answer specific restoration questions. According to the dealer I purchased the Blazer from, it was originally an AZ truck, I purchased the truck from Las Vegas. I DO NOT have a hard top, truck only comes with a retractable and/or removable Softopper soft top which is in excellent condition. You can leave the top on and roll up the side and back windows similar to a Jeep Wrangler. SPECS: DRIVETRAIN: 350 Small Block, Turbo 350 Automatic, 4 Wheel Drive - NP205 Transfer Case, 4:11 front/rear with locking hubs, Serpentine Pulleys, Dual Electric Fans, Vintage Air A/C, INTERIOR: Completely Restored to factory original - with all New Dash Pad, Seat Covers, Door Panels, Carpet, Seat Belts, Custom Roll Bar - painted with Base Coat/Clear Coat; Original Steering Wheel, New Gauges with Tach, Oil Pressure, Temp, and Amp, Complete New Wiring Harness SUSPENSION/BRAKES: All new with 6" Suspension Lift, Dual Shocks at both front corners; Front Disc/Rear Drum Brakes EXHAUST: Headers with Flowmaster Dual Exhaust TIRES: New BFG Mud-Terrain T/A - 35/12.5/15 The Blazer looks fantastic outside, inside and underside. The truck runs great and turns heads everywhere you go (warning....you will painfully get asked often if it is a Bronco). I own multiple nicely restored classic muscle cars and this Blazer easily is the biggest head turner - you just don't see many, especially in this condition. This Blazer is a Beast - standing almost 7' tall (it barely fits in my 7' tall garage door). I purchased the truck from a dealer in Las Vegas (hence the plate BLKJKD) in June 2014 and drove the truck all Summer.

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

GM dealers unhappy about pickup prices

Mon, 21 Oct 2013

The backlash is beginning. Following General Motors' price hike of the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra last week, dealers across the country are expressing their ire over increasing prices in the face of rebates and discounts on trucks from Ford and Ram.
Speaking to Automotive News, Sam Pilato, the general manager at Dimmitt Chevrolet in Clearwater, FL, Silverados are "selling very poorly." W. Carrol Smith, the president of Monument Chevrolet in the heart of truck country, Texas, said, "[GM's] position is that the vehicle stands on its own and it doesn't need a bigger rebate. That's not what the market is telling us."
According to AN, that's the general attitude amongst Chevy and GMC dealers across the country, where the twin pickups are getting butchered in sales by competitors offering up to $9,000 off their sticker prices. Part of the problem for GM is that its trucks are arriving on the market near the end of the current F-150's lifecycle, a fact that Ford has taken advantage of.
