1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne. Original 2 wheel drive with removable top. This is a solid Texas truck with very minimal rust in the lower rear wheel wells. Has a 350 with Edlebrock intake and 3 speed auto transmission. Air conditioning works and was refreshed last year. Strong running truck that I drive in the Florida heat everyday with no problems. All lights and signals work.

All the following was done within the past year: New harmonic balancer, new MSD distributor, new plugs & wires, new Interstate battery with 6 year warranty, rebuilt Quadrajet carb, front and rear brakes, rebuilt rear window motor, new rear window cable, new Flowmaster 40 series full exhaust with stainless pipes. New rear axle bearings and rear end grease. Lowered with DJM dropped spindles and springs with Belltech shocks. C notched rear has been professionally welded in place. I have receipts and invoices for all the parts. And photos of all the work.

I purchased this truck from an elderly gentleman who moved to Florida from Texas. The story was that he got it from a couple in Oklahoma where it was stored in a barn. They stored the truck in a barn after it was recovered from being stolen. Later, someone pulled out in front of him and the front passenger fender and the corner of the front bumper took the hit. I had an original 79 GM front fender hung and straightened out the core support. The fender has some lower rust, but we cut the old fender and saved it for the repair patch. Haven't gotten around to welding it on, and didn't figure we would be able to match the paint, so we left it for the time being. Replaced the front bumper, bumper support, grille, and both headlight bezels.  I have extra emblems and a replacement gauge bezel.

This truck gets a lot of attention and is very reliable. There aren't very many original 2 wheel drive "Round Eye" Blazers left. And even less that are this solid.

You can reach me at 813-666-9033 with any questions. I have the Florida title in hand, in my name. I reserve the right to end the auction early. And of course this is an AS-IS sale. No returns. Thanks, Gary.

Leno drives Ringbrothers' latest, 1966 Chevy Chevelle Recoil

Tue, Mar 3 2015

Jay Leno has been checking out quite a few older rides in his garage as of late, but has mixed things up a little this week. Ringbrothers took home an award at the 2014 SEMA Show for the 1966 Chevrolet Chevelle it named Recoil, and now the car has proven it can do more than just look good on Jay Leno's Garage. While the latest guest might look vintage, underneath those classic lines is a thoroughly modern muscle car sporting a claimed 980 horsepower. The heart of this beast is a supercharged LS7 V8 from Wegner Motorsports and a six-speed Tremec manual gearbox. Even with so much power, it can still run on 91-octane pump gas, and when Jay gets on the throttle the result is a wall of sound from the wailing supercharger. Despite the muscle, the Recoil doesn't really scream about its performance aesthetically. The color is a surprisingly plain beige, but the carbon fiber touches and side exhaust certainly indicate that there's something special here. The owner's sole request for the car was to include metal seats, and Ringbrothers provided them with a few bits of leather offering a touch of comfort. After checking the Recoil out from stem to stern, Leno finally gets behind the wheel and treats our ears to pull after pull from that big, supercharged V8.

Here's a mega-gallery of everything that happened. We've got the reveal of the car in all three of the colors that were on display: red, blue, and gray. We take you under the hood and inside the cabin of this new muscle car. Plus, you can view the exterior from every angle. Then we returned the next day to test drive the Camaro. That was only for journalists, but these pictures are just like being there. And even if you made it to the Motor City this weekend, click through all of these shots to get a better sense of the sixth-generation Camaro. Related Video:

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.
