Up for sale is my '72 4x4 Chevy Blazer.

To me, she's beautiful.

This truck is special because the top is removable, and you have nothing but windshield. What you see currently on it is a chopped top to provide minimal cover to the driver.

This is a classic model. It could be restored to showroom condition- with a whole lot of work, -or it could be left like it is and used as a truck to beat around.
This particular body style was only made for 4 years: 1968-1972. Parts are generally homogenous across all years of this body style.

This is a useful truck if you have muddy and/or rough places to go. I used it to play around at the lake and in the woods.
All critical operating items are in working order. It cranks, runs, and drives.
It starts without issue.
I put a new battery and alternator in 2009.
I also had a new power steering gearbox put on in 2009, concurrent with servicing the brakes.
4x4 works.
Transmission shifts without issue.
It has a rebuilt 350. I do not know the specifics about the rebuild, who rebuilt it, nor the origins of the motor. However, it runs awesome.
2 tires are new as of Oct. 2011. The other two are slightly dry rotted and leak air to the extent that I have to add air to the tires once a month.
Included but not attached is the original headache rack.
The truck passes local inspection. I had it inspected about a year ago. It is currently registered, but needing inspection.

The bad:
Currently, the truck is in rough condition.
The doors are rough. I have them held shut with bungee cords.
The windows do not roll down.
There is some rust. There are a few spots around the outer edges of the windshield, a spot on the firewall, and some under-body rust. Kick panels are rusted out. The bed has had a spray-in bed liner, but not the cab.
To be simple, the truck needs a paint job SOON.
The seats are shot.
Front driver side fender is dented. I have an OEM pre-painted white replacement, which will go with the truck.

There are lots of little things going on with this truck that warrant attention. It is a 40+ year old truck. I hate to admit it, but I'm sure there are things I've missed (or learned to live with and forgotten about.) Please don't hold it against me. I've done the best I could.

Original setup included radio, heater, and air conditioner. None of this is currently present. However, the setup is there and these items could be installed.

The good thing I find about these trucks is that parts are readily available. I have not fixed all of the small things, because I didn't need it for anything other than in the woods and around the lake. I have had no problem finding any of the little parts needed to fix annoying things like wobbly headlights.....

I would drive this truck anywhere. However, it is an extremely rough ride. Anything more than a few miles down the rd (I drive it 15 mi to my camp on the lake occasionally) I would recommend trailering it. Not to mention there is an extra hard top that goes with the truck.

The odometer reads some 41,000 miles. I have no idea nor any way of finding out if it has rolled over.
I am selling it, because I don't use it any more.
Item is located in Lufkin TX near Loop 287 and HWY 59 S.
I have a clear TX title in my name.

Buyer is responsible for pick up. Local pick up only.
Seller makes no warranties expressed nor implied.

GM won't sell 2014 Chevrolet SS in Canada

Thu, 21 Feb 2013

Allow us to be the first to extend our condolences to our friends to the north. General Motors has announced the 2014 Chevrolet SS will not be available in Canada. The Globe and Mail reports the automaker has confirmed the high-performance sedan won't hit Canadian dealers, though GM hasn't offered up any reasoning as to why that is.
Buyers here in the US of A, meanwhile, can look forward to getting their hands on the 415-horspower, rear-wheel drive SS by late summer. Something tells us it won't be long after that before Canadian officials start seeing individually imported 6.2-liter V8 four-doors in their neighborhoods. Fortunately, Canadian buyers will still be able to take home the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The C7 bowed at the Canadian International Auto Show last week, reportedly drawing sizable crowds and interest.

Hot Wheels Camaro to make big debut at Indy

Fri, 05 Apr 2013

Chevrolet handed over the keys to 33 Hot Wheels Camaro Convertible Indianapolis 500 festival cars this week. Race directors get the luxury of driving the droptops around Indianapolis in an ongoing tradition with roots all the way back to the 1960s. The stunt is supposed to remind area residents that the Indy 500 is right around the corner. The cars are our first look at the special Camaro Hot Wheels Edition in convertible form, and they are slated to head to dealers after a one-time production run. The cars also represent the first time in history full-size Hot Wheels have been offered for sale by an automaker.
The cars will be available in both the previously seen coupe bodystyle and this convertible configuration, and will feature metallic blue paint and special wheels with the iconic redline accent. Buyers will be able to choose between the V6-powered 2LT trim and the V8-powered 2SS guise.
Hot Wheels says the original Custom Camaro toy was one of the original 16 1:64-scale diecasts, and it remains one of the company's most valuable collector items today.

"Turbo" Chevrolet Camaro is a 700-HP fantasy car come to life [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

For a concept car built to promote an animated movie about a snail that wants to go racing, this thing ain't half bad. The outsized monster you see before you started life as a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and then went through a big-time Hollywood makeover before being positioned on the Chevrolet stand here in Chicago.
This 2013 "Turbo" Camaro Coupe is getting the promotion machine ratcheted up for a new DreamWorks tale by the name of, you guessed it, Turbo. Coming this summer, the movie will follow one snail's quest to become a race driver worthy of making the cut at the Indy 500. Like many DreamWorks vehicles before it, we're guessing that the petrolhead snail will star in a movie that adults (especially racing fans) with have no trouble watching with their kids. Check out the trailer below to see if you agree.
As for the car, we're told that it is "instrumental" in transforming Turbo from snail into racer. Helping the beastly pony car in this mighty task, is an ankle-cracking front splitter matched by a ungodly huge rear wing out back, a COPO hood and a supercharged (yes, supercharged) V8 engine making more than 700 horsepower. 24-inch wheels all the way around - 10-inches wide in front and 15-inches wide in back - should allow the "Turbo" Camaro to hook up with ease, as well.
