This is my 1989 chevrolet 1500 SILVERADO PACKAGE FULL SIZE BLAZER! This Blazer is my BABY! I purchased it in 1994, and it is part of our family!!! I was offered 12K once, and tjen about a tear ago I was offered 10K for it by someone off the street that just saw it and came and offered my Daughter the 10K, and said that he didnt even care if it ran!! My Daughter knew better, and told him it wasnt for sale at ANY price!!! She knew as I did, that I would have it FOREVER!! And I had it put in her name many years ago, so that there was no mistaking the fact that if something happened to me, it would be HERS!!!! :) Unfortunately, I have had a knee injury, and it hurts me to try to get in and out of it! :(.I am being scheduled for surgery soon, but the doctors say that my knee will never be the same! :( I never imagined ever selling this vehicle, and now I am afraid that I dont have much choice! :( My kids are sad, and so am I!!! My kids being 30 years have came to know it as family, but I am STUCK! I have to have something that I can drive that doesn't hurt me! :{ I have owned this truck for 20 years!! It has been a great truck! It is ALL original, including the paint!! It was always garaged until about 7 years ago! It even has the original red stickers that go down each side! :) As to NON-ORIGINAL: I had a 6 inch lift put on it along with 35 inch all terrain mud tires, chrome wheels and nerf bars all at one time at Les Schwab! That cost $4,000.00, but I have LOVED it! I also had a new Sony stereo system out in it that is the latest Ipod, Aux, etc.. I love being able to hook up my phone and listen to my favorite music! Other then these items, EVERYTHING is original! That includes the spare tire! It is a smaller tire, so if you were to need a spare I don't know if it would work?? I am a 53 year old woman, so I don't know a lot, but I wouldn't use it, it just makes sense that you should use the same size tires! The interior is free of any holes, rips, etc... It could use a good detail cleaning to bring it back up to new condition though. Its not BAD or anything, just a little dirty in places, especially in the back where you carry things! I use seat covers to protect the front seats, but I took them off for the pictures so that you can clearly see how great of condition that they are in! :) I just had a new battery put in it about 8 months ago. Then I just recently had the serpentine belt replaced, new sparks plugs put in it, and a complete oil change and other fluids as well as I have ALWAYS done! I know that I am going to cry when this truck is gone! :( All that I can do is hope that I will be able to get a truck that I will feel safe in that isn't lifted to where it hurts me, and will be as dependable as this truck has always been! :( The motor WAS replaced about 20,000 miles ago! My Son was 18 years old at the time, and sneaked out with my keys late one night and took it on a joy ride, in which he took it out on the freeway doing over 100 miles an hour in SECOND gear and toasted the motor! You just got to love teenagers! :( But my Ex is a mechanic and $4,000.00 later the motor was replaced, or it would still have been fine otherwise. It ALWAYS FLEW through DEQ!! Just like a new car he would tell me! :) It does need some little things! The silverplated rectangles on the doors that cover the screws have one missing on each door. The rear view mirror came off and needs to be put back on. I have the mirror and even a glue kit but just haven't gotten around to having someone put it back on. The glue probably just let go after so many years, but the mirror is PERFECT and just needs to be put back on! As to the body, my Daughter accidently backed into it once, and the passenger side rear bumper is pushed in a little. :( There has never been any SERIOUS accidents with my truck, but one time my Son in law had his car in the shop and I allowed him to take my truck to work, and he didn't see another car when he went to switch lanes, and got into an accident. The car was hurt, but the only thing that shows on my truck is a small little dent in the nerf bar and a small ripple in the passenger side door! You have to look close to see them, but I am just letting you know that they are there!! I am honest to a fault! The hood needs to be painted as well!! This paint job has lasted a LONG time, so I am not surprised with that! Black attracks HEAT anyway! This truck is equipped with 4 wheel drive, but it has NEVER been off the road, and I have really only used the 4x4 a few times when I HAD to drive in bad weather. I avoid driving in bad weather unless absolutely necessary! This vehicle is ALL POWER! The windows, including the back window are power, power disc brakes, and came LOADED from the factory! The AC does need to be recharged, and the button for the drivers side window recently broke on me! :( Its not a big deal, and one of my Sons said that he could take the door panel off and fix it if needed! He pushes on it a certain way, and the window rolls right down! The top IS removable, but I have never had it off!! I was told that once removed they could start leaking, but I didn't want to fade out the upholstery either! I like it looking new! :) Oh! I almost forgot! I DID have an aftermarket alarm put in it with auto-start was well! That was another $1,500.00, but that included buying an extra alarm pad for in case I were to lose one! It was done by Stereo King, and they uphold their products 1000%! There have been a few times that I have taken it back to them and they will take care of it at NO CHARGE no matter what! This last time the valet button was just getting old, so they replaced it with a NEW one with no charge! I will tell you that this alarm system is the best investment that I have EVER made! If not for the alarm system I would not have this TRUCK!!! The flashing blue light really lights UP at night, and I know that most people will ignore the ones that are alarmed, but with this vehicle there has been MANY attempts to steal it! It could be that it is an eye catcher, but I think that it is because it is SOOOO RARE!! I have had sooo many people asking questions! Even people with K5s! There are still plenty of K5s out there, but these Silverado packages are just about extinct! Matter of fact, insurance companies don't even have that classification in their computers anymore!~ They insure it as a V10!! That's the way that it reads on my insurance card! I just want you to be aware of the fact that this vehicle NEEDS to be alarmed of garaged to protect it! Or you WILL lose it! Due to this reason, I wont allow people to know exactly where I am! If someone wants to see it I will be happy to meet you somewhere in the area! But I wont allow someone to come to the house, just to protect it! This vehicle is built like a TANK, and is the LAST year of the BIG rigs! It will last someone a VERY long time!! I am still depressed that I am having to let it go! I NEVER thought that this day would come! :( Getting old and injuring myself wasn't ever expected! :( I hope that it will be babied as I have always done by it, and loved even HALF as much as I love it! Gee, when you add up the lift and tires/wheels, the new motor, and the alarm system, I am actually giving away the rest of the truck! But I will consider offers as well. If I think of anything elase that I might have forgotten, I will be sure to come back in and add it! I looked and saw that one a lot like it, minus the alarm system, and minus the lift and toyos that was in Portland sold for $91,000.00, so I guess I am about in the right category! I doubt that there will be many that will have this few of miles on it! Thanks for looking, and you take care and have a great day! :)

Chevy exec confirms SS production model reveal at Daytona on Feb 16

Wed, 06 Feb 2013

The 2014 Chevrolet SS will make its racing debut for the 2013 Daytona 500, but the production version of the car will get its official unveiling on February 16 in Daytona, a week before The Great American Race. According to a report by Automotive News, the reveal has been confirmed by Jim Campbell, Chevy's US vice president of performance and motorsports. With the departure of the Dodge Charger, the new Chevrolet racecar will be the only competitor to feature a V8, rear-wheel-drive layout in both street and NASCAR form.
NASCAR fans will be able to see the new fullsize performance-oriented sedan on display in the festivities leading up to the Daytona 500, but the car won't go on sale until later in the year. The Australian-built Chevy SS will be a low-volume performance model, and it will be priced above the 2014 Impala, which starts at $27,535.

Why the Corvette is Chevrolet's billion-dollar baby

Thu, 28 Feb 2013

Edmunds has worked up a piece that tries to figure out just how much the global Chevrolet Corvette economy is worth, a spitballed guesstimate putting the number at more than $2.5 billion with the proviso that the number is probably low. It starts by taking Corvette's new car sales of 14,132 units last year, which would equate to $714,725,900 (including destination) assuming ever car sold was a base coupe with no options. In the final tally, a little extra padding gets that number up to $750,000,000.
But that's not all. Consider this: Many of the almost 1.4 million Corvettes produced over the model's history are still on the road. There are new parts being produced and aftermarket companies like Mid-America Motorworks deaing business, that single Illinois company doing more than $40 million a year in sales. There are the Corvette events large and small, restorers who do nothing but Corvettes, salvage yards that deal only in used Corvette parts and the Corvette magazines where owners find all this stuff.
And then there are the Corvette-themed tchotchkes, every single one of which provides a tiny contribution to the huge licensing royalties that General Motors collects every year. The article admits there's no way to come to an accurate number, but it just goes to show how valuable one specific model can be to a company.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1

Mon, 11 Feb 2013

The formula of Top Gear Korea is seemingly about the same as it is everywhere else in the world, including the flagship British original: involve interesting cars in fantastical situations with charismatic hosts. That prescription has proved to be pretty reliable over the years, and has lead to some truly memorable and exciting pieces of television.
Something like that was undoubtedly what the Korean producers were after when they lined up this segment - a drag race between a Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and an AH1 Cobra military helicopter. The planners almost certainly did not expect the filming of the segment to go quite as wrong as it actually did, with the helicopter actually crashing into the dirt after the "drag race" had been completed. Thankfully, we're told that no one was seriously injured in the crash, but the footage, in the video below, is pretty damn chilling to watch, nevertheless.
