You are bidding on a Beautiful 1970 Blazer with all original body panels, still has original rocker boxes with undercoating on them, Original Hugger Orange color, no rust in body.  Frame and suspension components in good condition. DISC Brake upgrade.  Blazer includes New soft top and original double wall hard top in good condition.   Drive line has less than 2000 miles on it since completed.  Interior stripped and redone including base clear paint 1 year ago.  Blazer drives excellent 80 mph down the interstate.  Tires are surprisingly quiet with the aggressive tread.  Professionally built and welded Roll bar with head rest and shoulder belts installed in front and rear for safety.  All gauges, lights, and accessory components in working order, even the wiper washers.  I believe I am the 3rd owner,  Truck came from California, so It's spent most of it's life in a dry climate.  I only drive it on nice days.  Blazer also comes with original radio, carburetor, owners manual, and center console.  I can help with shipping, I use Road Warriors based out of Omaha Nebraska.  When I had it shipped from California they charged $1000.  I've been a Certified Master ASE Technician for 23 years and like to have things working perfect and put together correctly with no corners cut, it's always worth the extra time and money to do it right.  The exterior paint is older, shows some wear nicks and dings but very presentable, not a show truck but would only take a light sand with a nice base clear paint to make it one.  Interior and door jams  have already been done when I completed the interior.  Haven't done the exterior because I drive it and don't show the truck, also have 2 kids and afraid they'll scratch the new paint.  Exterior was just professionally buffet and detailed.


This is the kind a Blazer you can buy and enjoy knowing everything is in good working condition.  I've had fun with it and it's time to pass it on.  I've listed everything below that is either new or rebuilt.  I have most of the receipts  for all parts and repairs.

GM recalling nearly 4,000 vehicles over airbag concerns

Thu, 31 Jan 2013

Four different General Motors vehicles from the 2012 model year are being recalled over a potential airbag issue. The driver's side airbag shorting bar in the 2012 Buick Verano and 2012 Chevrolet Camaro, Cruze and Sonic might make contact with the airbag terminals, even during a crash. If so, the airbag won't deploy when it should, possibly increasing injury to the driver.
The recall is expected to begin on February 13 for the 3,896 units that might be affected. GM will notify owners who can then take their vehicles to dealers to have the airbag coil replaced. A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration below has more info.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

Porsche, Jaguar continue dominance in 2015 JD Power APEAL study

Wed, Jul 22 2015

The top of JD Power's 2015 APEAL Study has not changed much in the last year. Porsche remains No. 1 with Jaguar nipping at its heels, although both premium brands saw their overall score fall compared to 2014. For those that need a refresher, the APEAL Study looks at how "gratifying" a vehicle is to own and drive, rating cars and brands on a 1,000-point scale. The industry average for 2015 has increased from 794 to 798, while the total number of automakers that finished above the curve increased from 16 to 20. While Porsche and Jaguar finished at the top, their scores dropped eight and seven points, respectively, to 874 and 855. The top "non-premium" brand was Mini, which scored an impressive 825, up from 795. If the BMW-owned British marque is still a bit too premium for your tastes, last year's non-premium winner, Hyundai, did climb five points and is this year's runner up. At the opposite end of the scale, Smart sits at the very bottom of the rankings, with a score of 683 (it didn't appear on the 2014 rankings). Fiat also dropped, from fourth worst in 2014 to second worst in 2015, despite the 500 being named most appealing city car. Subaru made an impressive climb, from third worst to seventh, falling just 10 points shy of the industry average and two points south of the non-premium average. In the individual vehicle segments, eight brands earned multiple awards, with Ford, Chevrolet, and Porsche earning three apiece. Surprise segment victories included the new Ford Expedition, which beat out Chevy's popular Suburban. The Infiniti QX80 bested the likes of the Cadillac Escalade and Range Rover for best large luxury SUV, and the Dodge Challenger beat its muscle car rivals from Ford and Chevy. Most of the victories, though, were quite predictable. The Mazda6 and CX-5 took wins for the midsize sedan and compact SUV categories respectively, while the Volkswagen Golf captured the compact car win. The Ford F-150 won the large pickup category, while the Porsche Cayman was named most appealing compact premium sporty car.
