1973 Chevy K5 Blazer Convertable on 2040-cars
Chenoa, Illinois, United States
|
Up for bid is my 1973 Chevy K5 Blazer 4x4. It has the original 350 in it and a turbo 350 trans. It has an awesome sounding exhaust with long tube headers that was custom made for this truck. I removed the old points ignition system and installed a new MSD HEI distributor. I installed a 4'' rough country suspension lift and new 35'' Cooper Discoverer STT tires. Before I bought it, the transmission was rebuilt along with the carb. The front drive shaft was removed when I got the truck and since I have never needed the four wheel drive I never put one in it. I will include one with the sale to go in it. Somewhere along the road the a/c was removed, the brackets and wiring are all still there just no compressor or lines. The interior has been completely redone with new carpet, reupholstered seats, and sound mat installed underneath the carpet. This is a very original truck with only one repaint. It's hard for me to explain how solid this truck is. Everything on the bottom side is still painted black with no rust what so ever. I tried to show in one picture a few small pin holes in the bottom of the passenger fender. The drivers side fender is dented on the bottom from a tire blowing out. The paint job is fair, Its by no means a show paint job, but its really shiny and still looks good. It has dents here and there nothing major or out of the ordinary for a 73. When rolling up the back window you must be careful because it likes to come off the track. The seals on the top could be replaced but I didn't worry about it cause I didn't drive it much with the top on it. The engine has never been removed to my knowledge. It runs AWESOME I would not be afraid to take it anywhere. It was bought new and spent most of its life in Tuscon, Arizona. It is rock solid!! To my knowledge I am only the fourth owner of this truck. I purchased it from a guy in Chicago fall of 2011, he bought if from the second owner in Arizona and had it shipped to Chicago. The guy I bought it from never even had the top on it. It has seen no rain since he bought it. I looked long and hard before I found this one. They only made this style K5 blazer with the full removable top 73,74, and 75. If you have any questions at all or would like to come see it please call 815-867-0116.

Helicopter crashes on Top Gear Korea set while chasing Corvette ZR1
Mon, 11 Feb 2013The 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.
2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Convertible is the track car for sun worshippers
Fri, 11 Apr 2014
Supercharged, 6.2-liter V8? Check. Seven-speed manual? Check. Obsession with weight? Check.
What did you expect when Chevrolet said it was bringing a new Corvette variant to the 2014 New York Auto Show? Maybe a sticker and trim package, like the C6 Corvette Grand Sport or a tie-in deal like the Black Widow car from Chicago? On the opposite end, maybe there was an even more hardcore Z06 waiting in the wings. Who knew?
Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues
Wed, 28 Dec 2011'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
