1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer 4X4

350 V8 Automatic

Justin 503-969-5127

Hello eBayers and welcome to my auction.  Today I have a vehicle for sale that I really love.  This is a 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer 4X4.  It is finished in its factory color of Wheatland Yellow and has white vinyl seats with factory black and white plaid inserts.  The carpet is black loop.  The K5 is really great looking.  All of the colors of the Chevy really look great together as I hope the pictures demonstrate. 

This is a rust free Blazer it has had both of the rockers replaced in steel.  The floorboards are solid as are the bottoms of the doors.  They do have some bubbles under there, but nothing concerning.  The miles stopped rolling over between 79,999 and 80,000..  I have no way to authenticate them.

The paint looks great, but I don’t believe it is original and its not new either.  I would wager a guess that it is about 10 years old and was just cared for well and kept inside.  It is buffed and waxed and looks really nice.  It is not perfect however so perfectionists.. You have been warned.  In my opinion, it is perfect for this type of truck..  I like them to look useable.

The interior is mostly new.  I had the carpet installed and using the factory center cloth material, had the front seats re-upholstered.  The rear seat was still in excellent condition so I just kept that original.  I also had the rear side panels done as well.  It is beautiful inside.  The windshield is also new.

I hated the wheels that were on the blazer when I got it so I sourced a perfect set of k5 Rally wheels and got all the beauty rings and center caps too.  Next I wrapped them in a new set of 31’’ All Terrain Radials.

Mechanically the blazer has always run well.  It did have some leaks that I had fixed.  The transmission pan leaked and I had the gasket replaced and had the fluid changed.  I had them do both front and rear differentials at the same time just because..   She doesn’t leak a drop.  If I was going to do anything else to the K5 it would be to put on a Holley Carburetor.  I always do that with the 350 engines because they run so well with the Holleys but I just didn’t this time.  On the other hand lots of folks like stock vehicles.  This is a very stock Blazer.

The top is great and solid but somewhere in its life somebody added a rear vent like those you might find in an RV..  It works and does not seem to leak.. 

The K5 was equipped with Air Conditioning from the factory, but the belt is off the compressor.  It spins freely but I have no idea if it will work once you hook it back up if you do..

This Chevrolet has a ton of vintage appeal and will surely be one to hold on to for future appreciation.  It is over 40 years old so if you are not used to a vehicle this old please call me and let me help you make an informed decision about a purchase and what ownership will be like. 

I am selling the car with NO RESERVE and I know the k5 will sell the first go around as long as we all play by these rules. 

#1.  Only bid if you have intentions to buy. 

#2. Ask any and all questions before bidding. 

#3. Please contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback.

#4. This is an AS-IS sale.  I have done my best to describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees.

#5. I will not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the truck.  Pay-Pal is for the deposits only, the balance must be paid by certified check or wire.  Legitimate and legal buyers only please. 

Just be real and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or her purchase.  I have 100% positive feedback and I plan on keeping that.  Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the last second and worry about missing out.  Just call me and we will work out a fair price..

With only 246 Volts sold in Australia, Holden not getting next-gen model

Tue, Apr 28 2015

The Chevrolet Volt has not been the resounding success General Motors hoped for here in the United States. But it's fortunes in Chevy's home country are nothing compared to how poorly it's done down under. Only 246 Volts have been sold in Australia, where the car is branded as a Holden, since its debut in 2012. That's not just a bad showing – it's an absolute disaster. According to Motoring.com.au, it was the Volt's astonishing $60,000 price tag, combined with a lack of interest from Aussie drivers, that killed the car's chances. What's fascinating about this development, though, is that it doesn't necessarily seem to be Holden that's pulling the plug. Instead, it's the Volt's Hamtramck, MI factory, which is preparing to shift into production of the second-generation model that seems to be taking the blame. According to Motoring, the plant confirmed that it will only build the Gen 2 plug-in in left-hand-drive form, basically ruling out a model for Australia. "Electric and hybrid vehicles haven't taken off in Australia," Holden's director of communications, Sean Poppitt, told Motoring. "Considering the lack of infrastructure, the lack of government incentives, the large distances between cities, it's a tough sell." The death of the right-hand drive Volt won't be the only loss of business in Hamtramck. Opel has already confirmed that it will drop the plug-in's European fraternal twin, the Ampera, while the next-gen Chevy won't make the trip across the pond either. Related Video:

'Tomorrowland' movie will advertise Chevy Volt, E-NVs

Fri, Mar 27 2015

Before the 2016 Chevrolet Volt arrives at dealerships, it's going to come to a cineplex near you. The next-generation hybrid and the EN-V electric networked vehicle concept will play bit parts in the background of the upcoming Disney movie Tomorrowland starring George Clooney and Britt Robertson. Chevrolet will run digital and television ads around the movie's opening, which is May 22 in the US. The Bowtie and Disney tie-up is another in their years-long collaboration, going back to the revamped Test Track that opened at Epcot Center in 2012, and Chevolet is also the official vehicle of Shanghai Disney. The press release below has more on the movie and the Volt, the movie trailer is above – there's no Volt in it, but there is a late-model Buick. Chevrolet and Disney See Possibilities in 'Tomorrowland' Film to help kick off marketing efforts for next-generation Chevrolet Volt DETROIT, 2015-03-26 – At their core, Disney and Chevrolet are entities of optimism, believing that with a little ingenuity, anything is possible. They will come together in the new Disney film "Tomorrowland" to imagine the possibilities. The all-new 2016 Chevrolet Volt and EN-V concepts appear in the backdrops of the present day and Tomorrowland. The film's U.S. debut is May 22. In Disney's riveting mystery adventure "Tomorrowland," a jaded scientist and an optimistic teen embark on a danger-filled mission to unearth the secrets of an enigmatic place somewhere in time and space. "Tomorrowland is a place where nothing is impossible, which is something that Chevrolet believes can exist in the here and now," said Tim Mahoney, vice president, Global Chevrolet. "The Chevrolet spirit reflects the hopes and possibilities of tomorrow in real instruments of change for today like the next-generation Chevrolet Volt." The first marketing efforts for the 2016 Chevrolet Volt will be tied to Tomorrowland. A television spot and digital advertising will debut in early May. The all-new Volt is an electric car with extended range, showcasing a sleeker, sportier design that offers 50 miles of EV range, greater efficiency and stronger acceleration. The Volt's new, efficient propulsion system will offer an estimated total driving range of more than 400 miles. With regular charging, owners can expect to average more than 1,000 miles between gas fill-ups. Chevrolet and Disney have a long history of collaboration around the globe.

Someone has already test driven the 2016 Chevy Volt

Mon, Aug 24 2015

Due to some well-placed connections at General Motors Canada headquarters in Oshawa, a senior member of the gm-volt.com forum with the handle "kickincanada" got about 30 minutes behind the wheel of a 2016 Chevrolet Volt. Kickincanada owns a 2012 Volt, and other than personal reservations over the styling of the new car, he came way nothing but impressed by the second-generation hybrid. He drove the Premier trim, posted his observations on the site, then answered questions for other owners desperate to find out what's coming. He said the interior materials are "more upscale," there is less hard plastic and better leather, the seats are more comfortable, and ergonomically, "Everything is beautifully laid out." Although obviously not as luxurious, the interior reminded him of the Cadillac ELR. Tech touches like a better display, Apple integration, a wireless charging area for the phone, heated rear seats, and a better rear console were also worth noting. As for driving, Kickincanada called it "incredible." The "much more luxurious drive" comes courtesy of a "firm and sporty" suspension setup, less NVH thanks to more sound insulation, quieter Michelin Energy Saver tires, and quieter operation of the genset ICE. He said acceleration from a standstill felt quicker because there was no delay between applying the throttle and the car taking off. He estimates owners should be able to get about 100 kilometers (62 miles) out of the electric mode alone on a full charge, and that the new Volt is "clearly improved in almost every way" (the car's official range, as determined by the EPA, is 53 electric miles). We look forward to finding out ourselves. Click through to gm-volt to read all of his thoughts and responses if there's a hybrid purchase in your future. Related Video:
