72 Blazer in good condition. Very little rust. Garage kept most of its life. I am the 3rd owner of this vehicle. It was going to be my project vehicle, but I have no time to mess with it. It has a factory 3-speed manual on the column. There has been new panels welded into the vehicle, which was done professionally as far as I could tell, and the backsides were undercoated. Floorboards are factory, and are still solid. Rockers are solid. Windshield frame is solid but some minor work will need to be done to the drip edge above the windshield. The motor runs good and is strong, but it burnt 2 quarts of oil when I drove it back from North Carolina last August. It's been sitting in my garage ever since, and does not smoke otherwise. Everything works on this vehicle. The only thing affecting its drivability is low tread on the front tires, and the shift linkage needs tighted up. Gearbox engages good and does not skip. This is a non-AC vehicle. Also, this is a 40 year old truck, it is not in perfect condition, but it's rare to find one that is this solid that has not been hacked up by the previous owners.

Vert-A-Pac train cars kept your Chevy Vega's price in check
Fri, 01 Mar 2013Our apologies to those who've seen this before, but for the rest of the class, how awesome are these pictures of the Vert-A-Pac shipping system General Motors came up with to ship the Chevrolet Vega back in the 1970s? Developed along with Southern Pacific Railroad, GM was able to double the amount of Vega models it could ship by packing them into the unique storage cars vertically.
At the time, rail cars could fit 15 vehicles each, but Chevrolet was able to lower shipping costs by making it possible to ship 30 Vegas per rail car, in turn allowing the price of the Vega to remain as low as possible. Each rail car had 30 doors that would fold down so that a Vega could be strapped on, and then a forklift would come along and lift the door into place. All the cars were positioned nose down, and since they were shipped with all of their required fluids, certain aspects had to be designed specifically for this type of shipping, including an oil baffle in the engine, a special battery and even a repositioned windshield washer reservoir. See for yourself in our image gallery above.
2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage
Thu, 24 Jan 2013Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.
