Here you have it…a completely original, unmolested, K5 Blazer that is ready to run up a mountain side, pull a tree out of the ground or surge through a muddy bog. It’s not in perfect shape, but its about as good as they come for having been on the road for 35 years. I’ll do my best to describe all of its flaws and little quirks, but there is nothing glaring that is going to affect the drivability of the vehicle. First, the good… The truck was recently tuned up by Don’s Performance in Harrisburg. New ignition coil, new valve cover gaskets, distributor cap, distributor rotor, plugs, wires, fuel filter, air filter and the timing was reset. Car does not leak any oil and runs without a tick or a knock. I am the second owner of the truck and I’ve only had it for a little over a year. The previous owner, a close family friend, bought it brand new in 1977 and got all the bells and whistles. The sticker price on the window sticker, which I still have, was over $10,000. The base cost for these vehicles was $6,397. Powering the Blazer is a 305 cubic inch V8, which still runs strong. The milage on the odometer reads 107,324, but actually has far less than that. For about 10 years, the odometer incorrectly read about 12-15 mph faster than the vehicle was actually traveling. It was recently recalibrated by Powl’s Speedometer and Auto Care in Lancaster and now reads true. The truck comes equipped with a “granny gear” four-speed SM465 transmission. The truck still goes into four-wheel drive without any issues and if you were to put it in 4 low and the granny gear, you can climb anything! The interior is all original and still shines with a coat of Armoral on the dash. The original plaid seats are a real attention grabber driving down the road on a summer day and serves as a true reminder which era this truck was built in. The rear seat folds up to create quite a bit of room in the back and the rear electronic window still goes up and down using the switch on the dash…and it comes with the original (full sized) spare tire. For the most part, the exterior still looks great except for some rust areas (I’ll get to that later). There are no dents. The hood was professionally repainted several years ago with the factory Cordova Brown paint that was original for the vehicle. The rear tires were also recently replaced and the truck was realigned and travels straight as an arrow. Now the bad… As you would expect, there are some issues with a vehicle this old, but like I said, none of them affect the drivability. First, the truck does have a bit of rust (along the driver’s side door, driver’s side rear fender and the rear floor). Probably the most problematic area is rust in the rear floor seating area. I did a fairly decent patch up job before the winter and it passed inspection without needing anything. If you were going to enjoy this vehicle for many years to come, its probably something you’ll have to address, but for now it suffices… at least for me. Other than that, the issues are minor at worst and barley noticeable at least. The wiper motor sometimes acts up and while the wipers do always work by moving the switch, the intermittent setting isn’t always “intermittent.” There is also an exhaust leak somewhere toward the front of the truck. It appears to be very minor, but you can hear the leak on acceleration. The mechanic at Don’s Performance said it wasn’t a big deal and if I didn’t have an issue with it, there probably wasn’t any sense in repairing it. The dome light also only works manually (using the headlight knob) and does not come on automatically when you open the doors. It’s probably an incredibly easy fix, but it wasn’t a big deal to me to just reach and turn the knob to have light. The only other thing, is the passenger side lock knob, which I have, came lose and the door only locks and unlocks using the key. Once again, it’s probably an incredibly easy fix, but I didn’t mind unlocking and locking the truck manually. If you’re looking for a daily driver 4x4 this isn’t the vehicle for you. But if you’re looking for a fun to drive, toying around, attention grabbing, absolute beast in the snow, then this truck is for you. I am only selling it because I have enough toys, live only 2 miles from my work and really have no need for a 4x4 truck. Like I said, if you’re going to keep this truck for the next 5, 10, 20 years, it’s probably going to need a little work, but for now, this sucker is ready to roll. If you have any questions, or want me to send more pictures, don’t hesitate to contact me at 717-507-4205. I live outside of Harrisburg and be willing to drive up to 100 miles to meet the buyer. You are welcome to come look at the Blazer, but please give me a little bit of notice. I will not ship the truck. I am also selling it locally, so I do reserve the right to end the auction early. My phone number is: 717-507-4205 *I am selling the vehicle locally, so I do reserve the right to end the auction early should I sell it* Thanks! Drew |

2016 Chevy Volt sneak peek at CES
Mon, Jan 5 2015Here it is, folks – your first real glimpse at the 2016 Chevrolet Volt. The gasoline-electric sedan will officially debut at the Detroit Auto Show next week, but Chevy gave us a sneak peek of its redesigned Volt at a media event in Las Vegas late Sunday, as part of its CES festivities. There isn't a ton to see here, and sorry about the low quality video (and for us not standing front and center during the reveal). But we can clearly see the car's redesigned front fascia – something recently previewed at a fan event in Los Angeles. For another view, check out a high-res photo of the new Volt from our friends at The Verge, here. Chevy even tweeted a photo of the Volt's new nose on its official Volt Twitter account, which you can see below. The automaker didn't divulge any details about its new Volt, but we already know quite a bit. For starters, the Volt will use a new, 1.5-liter gasoline engine and won't require premium fuel. It'll have more EV range and a bigger battery, too. We'll have a whole mess of information when the 2016 Volt is fully revealed in Detroit in about one week's time. In the meantime, here are some more looks at the Volt, courtesy of the Twitterverse. We're so excited about #NextGenVolt we brought it out early at #CES2015! Full details on 1/12 at #NAIAS. pic.twitter.com/hPCbTFGSV4 - Chevrolet Volt (@ChevyVolt) January 5, 2015 Take a look at the new Chevy Volt http://t.co/laCvWLRMXk pic.twitter.com/uOzRh5XCrP - Engadget (@engadget) January 5, 2015 The very first look at the 2016 Chevy Volt doesn't disappoint: http://t.co/PM0HcnyQOo pic.twitter.com/WFtoyd0utH - Gizmodo (@Gizmodo) January 5, 2015 Chevy just gave @Tim_Stevens a very quick look at the next-gen Volt at #CES2015. #CNETatCES http://t.co/3n6EK1yOrC pic.twitter.com/7KDYh0VSg0 - CNET (@CNET) January 5, 2015 Related Gallery 2016 Chevy Volt at CES Related Gallery 2016 Chevrolet Volt Teaser Images Green CES Detroit Auto Show Chevrolet GM Alternative Fuels Green Automakers Electric Hybrid Videos Sedan 2015 Detroit Auto Show CES 2015
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Fri, Apr 24 2015"Corvette" has stood for American muscle, American sports car, and American supercar. In many cases, it still stands for America: liberty on the go, LS-powered freedom. There was also a time when it meant really impressive numbers that didn't equate to really impressive handling, and a not-so-nice cabin. The handling issue really turned the road-legal corner when the C5 Z06 was introduced in 2001, and by the time the super-duper ZR1 ended its run in 2010, Corvette had exorcised practically all of its dynamic demons. But when I took a seat in the 2015 Corvette Z06 on the first day of my week-long loan, I espied a few demons still squatting in the interior. When colleague Seyth Miersma drove the Z06, he wrote, "Listen, I'm not going to be the guy that dogs the Corvette for having a cheap-feeling interior, this generation has put those once-legitimate claims to rest." Well, I am going to be that guy, because I don't think those claims have been put to rest. One day Chevy will give us leather that looks and feels like leather, instead of the astonishingly thin hide that is laid directly on top of the instrument panel structure. This material was set off by white stitching, but there were no seams, just a trail of white stitches. In some places it was hard to tell where the leather ended and the plastic began; or it might all have been the same upholstery, I don't know. Five dollars of foam padding would add five thousand dollars of luxury to the cockpit. One day Corvette will have plastics that don't look so plasticky. I know General Motors can do it. And after years of thinking Corvette seats were too wide and flat, this latest Z06 is almost there. The seatbacks were nice, but the exaggerated side bolstering on the seat bottoms was too narrow and sharp. That's a personal preference, though; other drivers with thinner thighs will think differently. My complaint isn't that the interior isn't luxurious, it's that it's not luxurious enough. If Chevrolet was worried about pricing, it could add some kind of profligate package to the options list. Have some ex-Porsche people design it, call it the Teutonic Splendor Package, slap a massive price on it, and count the money. People will buy it, and no one will ever have to say again, "But the interior..." That said, this test car's cabin had every feature I wanted. The gauge cluster was bright, crisp, and readable in every shade of daylight.
These are the cars being discontinued for 2024 and beyond
Fri, Jun 21 2024While we get new and updated car models every year, its inevitable that we'll need to say goodbye to some nameplates as well. This time around, it feels like we have confirmation or reports of an unusually large number of vehicles being discontinued in 2024 and the coming years. We shouldn't be surprised. A large number of automakers are approaching their various target dates for electrification of their fleets. As such, some beloved internal combustion cars are going away, sometimes with appropriate fanfare like special editions. Others are slinking away quietly, killed by slowing sales and changing consumer trends. Of course, the end of production doesn't necessarily mean permanent death. Some of these models could be resurrected in later years ... and probably as an EV. With that in mind, here are the vehicles that are being discontinued in 2024 and beyond.  Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio and Stelvio Quadrifoglio Alfa Romeo ended the production of its combustion-only Quadrifoglio models in April 2024 as the Italian automaker moves toward an electrified future. This isn't the end of the Quadrifoglio entirely, though, with Larry Dominique, Alfa Romeo senior vice president and head of North America, writing, "I look forward to presenting the next chapter in the four-leaf clover’s journey."  Chevrolet Camaro GM is ending production of the Chevy Camaro after 2024, but is sending it off in style with a CollectorÂ’s Edition. WouldnÂ’t it be cool, though, if Chevy brought it back as an EV?  Chevrolet Malibu Rumors of its demise have been around for a while, but now itÂ’s official. GM will end production of the Chevy Malibu in November of 2024. The assembly line in Kansas will be retooled to build the replacement for the Chevy Bolt.  Dodge Durango The three-row Durango is slated to be replaced by the Stealth nameplate after 2024. The Durango name could make a comeback later, according to rumors, on a body-on frame SUV based on the Jeep WagoneerÂ’s platform.  Ford Edge This is the last year for the Edge in the U.S., with the final unit rolling off the assembly line in April. On sale since 2007, the Edge topped 100,000 sales in all but three full years of production.  Ford Escape Newly refreshed for the 2023 model year, FordÂ’s popular Escape compact SUV is reportedly taking its leave in 2025 in order to usher in — you guessed it — an EV in its place.
