1972 K5 Blazer - Back Yard Find! on 2040-cars
Escondido, California, United States
1972 Chevy K5 Blazer - Backyard Find! I have for sale a 1972 K5 Blazer that I just found in a back yard in San Diego… It was sitting there since 2006. It has most of the original parts that match the Glove box tag and VIN. The K5 is original Olive Green “CST” with correct motor and undercarriage. It does have a lift of approx. 4.5 “and retains the original Rally Wheels and Olive green interior. As you can see from the pictures the truck was stored outside in San Diego weather it did not hurt it much. There is a rust area above the gas cap and that is about the only area that I see. The rockers are solid as well as the fenders and A pillars, no rust in the bed behind the wheels. The suspension has a 4” lift and double shock front as well as double shock steering set up. The back window glass and hatch latch assembly is missing. I took pictures of the undercarriage and all looks to have been restored at some time due to no grease / grime on any of the parts. The engine bay is missing the Air Cond system and the distributor wiring loom has been spliced so I think a ignition wiring harness would need to be replaced… all other wires are connected and in the right locations. I got the engine running using a separate gasoline source and a 750 Holley I had laying around (the Edelbrock carb was not functioning) … so it does run (see video link). I put into gear and she went right into reverse and drive no problem, and the front axle hubs turned effortlessly. Truck is being sold “As Is” where is… These trucks are starting to go up in price.... why not start with one that doesn't need 5K worth of work to be nice.... just your laboe to clean up! Pls check out all the pictures and email with any questions. I have the pink slip in hand. I have the tires aired up, and can help with transportation coordination, pictures etc. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dfgy4g4jFo4&feature=youtu.be Thanks for taking a look and Good Luck bidding! |

Are you the 2014 Corvette Grand Sport?
Thu, 21 Feb 2013When are stripes more than just stripes? Follow up question: Is the product development team at Chevrolet really cocky enough to hide the next C7 Corvette variant in plain sight? This very recently spotted, and ostensibly obscured C7 asks a lot more questions than it answers, but there's at least some evidence to support that it might be the next Corvette Grand Sport.
The first and most obvious tip-off that something is up with this 'Vette revolves around those silver stripes. Obviously the stripes themselves don't necessarily denote a new model. However, when Chevy recently launched its "colorizer" website for the Stingray, there was no provision made for racing stripes - solid colors only.
Grand Sport exhibit number two is actually an incriminating lack of badges. The production Corvettes we've seen to date have all carried Stingray badges on their fenders, just behind the vent. The car seen in these images has no such badges, which is an intriguing omission on an car that looks like a production-spec vehicle otherwise.
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
Tarantino's stolen Chevy Malibu from Pulp Fiction recovered after 19 years [w/video]
Mon, 29 Apr 2013Quentin Tarantino fans will likely remember Vincent Vega's cherry 1964 Chevrolet Malibu Convertible in Pulp Fiction. In a movie drenched in automotive references, the Malibu is very nearly a character in and of itself, and it serves as the subject of Vega's soliloquy about the kind of man who vandalizes another's automobile. It also happened to be Tarantino's personal car when the film was shot, and was apparently stolen shortly after production wrapped. Now police have located the car some 19 years later.
As it turns out, the thieves cloned the vehicle identification number from another '64 Malibu and had the car registered under the new digits. It was then sold to an unsuspecting buyer. Police happened upon the duplicate VINs while investigating another potential theft. Right now, it's unclear whether Tarantino has taken possession of the Chevrolet, if it has remained in the possession of the fraud victim, or whether it's caught somewhere in the gears of justice. Either way, you can catch Vega's memorable thoughts on the car keying in the Pulp Fiction clip below. But consider yourself warned: the video contains explicit language as Not Safe For Work as it comes.
