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.

NHTSA could add 1M cars to GM recall

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


The Detroit Free Press is reporting that the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration may expand a recall campaign for faulty brake lamps. The agency is currently looking into complaints that certain 2004-2011 Chevrolet Malibu models as well as some 2007-2009 Saturn Aura sedans may have brake lights that do not illuminate when the driver presses the pedal. Alternatively, the lamps may also illuminate without input from the driver. General Motors recalled 8,000 Pontiac G6 models from the 2005 model year for the same problem, and NHTSA is currently investigating whether to add 550,000 more G6 models built between 2005 and 2009 to the list for the same issue.
In addition, investigators are currently examining 97 complaints from Malibu and Aura owners with the same trouble. If NHTSA adds those models to the recall campaign, more than one million units could be covered. GM, meanwhile, says there have been no accidents or injuries as a result of the problem.

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

Watch the live reveal of the 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra [UPDATE]

Thu, 13 Dec 2012

UPDATE: The trucks have been revealed. Click here for all of the official details.
As promised, Chevrolet and GMC are offering a live webcast of the world premiere for the all-new 2014 Silverado 1500 and Sierra 1500. After being teased with spy shots and blurry images like the one above for ages, now is the time to see the trucks in the metal, for real (well, as 'real' as it gets on a webcast, at any rate).
Shift your eyes down just below to see the reveal as it happens, starting at 9:30 AM EST. We anticipate having loads of images full technical information to share after the webcast, too, so truck aficionados should stay tuned. We'll also be bringing you live images of both trucks too, when we see them on the show floor at next month's Detroit Auto Show.
