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.

Veyron and C7 Corvette join cast of Transformers 4

Wed, 29 May 2013

Like the Fast & Furious franchise, the Michael Bay-directed series of Transformers movies has become known as much for its bad acting as its impressive lineup of cars. As filming just started for Transformers 4, Bay's website has confirmed two new cars for the next installment as well as a makeover for everyone's favorite tractor trailer hero, Optimus Prime.
Joining the cast of T4 are a "race-inspired" Chevrolet Corvette Stingray and a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse. While Bay's website did not supply names for either car, Bugatti is reporting on its Facebook page that the Veyron will join the Autobots. Speaking of the good guys, top Autobot Optimus Prime is getting an all-new body based on a Western Star with a gaudy appearance that was seemingly inspired by Trick My Truck - right down to the six smoke stacks and side pipes!

GM uses wind power to build SUVs, trucks

Tue, Oct 9 2018

This week started with a chill, as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change issued a dire report with scientists warning, "The world we know today is not the world we will see in 50 years," with temperatures rising at their current rates. In the meantime, the trend toward purchasing more SUVs and crossovers continues. Most automakers, though, have set goals toward more sustainable production. That includes General Motors, which, somewhat ironically, plans to use wind power to produce many of its vehicles, including pickups and full-size SUVs. As the Detroit Free Press reports, several wind farms are coming online to support cleaner production as part of a partnership between GM and energy producer CMS Enterprises. At the beginning of October, the 100-megawatt Northwest Ohio Wind Farm began producing energy, supplying GM operations in Ohio and Indiana, where manufactured vehicles include the Chevy Cruze, Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra. Hilltopper Wind Farm in Illinois will begin producing another 100 megawatts for GM manufacturing in the region. In Texas, where GM builds the Chevrolet Tahoe, Chevrolet Suburban, GMC Yukon, GMC Yukon XL and Cadillac Escalade, the automaker is getting 50 megawatts from Cactus Flats Wind Farm beginning October 9. Using wind power isn't just about being green, but also for the sake of price stability. As Rob Threlkeld, GM's global manager of renewable energy told the Free Press, "You don't get the price spikes this way, like you do with fuel, and it reduces the environment footprint of the vehicle you're driving." Threlkeld said that renewable energy has already meant "millions of dollars in savings" for GM. GM plans to power all of its global operations with renewable energy by 2050. This week, the automaker was ranked 76 on the EPA's "National Top 100 List" of green manufacturers. It was the only automotive company listed.
