Up for sale is my ’72 K5 Blazer. Originally from Phoenix, I have owned for the better part of 11 years. If you have ever owned one of these you will definitely appreciate the shape of this K5. Where do I begin to tell what has been done? The paint is Midnight Blue. Ok, If are like me, when you see these old rides with new or newer paint you can only wonder what is the paint hiding? This blazer was completely stripped before the new paint was applied, and absolutely no rust, filler, or damage was found (cost alone $10K). The paint is around 5yrs old, driven couple times a year and kept in a heated garage. During reassembly, the chrome and weather stripping were replaced. The top is a duel wall that needs minor work. The repairs to the top were done prior to paint, but top was off the Blazer, and now the minor things have resurfaced.     I have updated the headlights and harness. It has a crate 350 with less than 6,000 miles, 700R4 transmission with a shift kit. Flowmaster exhaust. Differentials have been gone through as well as the transfer case. New front drive line, steering, radiator, battery. It does have factory air but has not been used for 10yrs, so I am sure it needs to be recharged. Or just take the top off. Has original reupholstered seats. The side panels have been covered to match the seats. It does not have carpet because I cannot make up my mind. I have recently put in a stereo system (pictures do not show), but consists of a hard to find Alpine duel post, 2 – 6x9, 2-12”, Alpine 6 disc changer, and finished off with 2 Alpine amps. This vehicle does not come with a warranty, written or implied. It is over 40yrs old. If you have additional questions, or would like more picts, feel free to contact me (605)348-4936. If you have zero feedback please contact me prior to bidding. I will be advertising with many sources and reserve the right to end auction at any time. Buyer is responsible for pick up or transport fees. Thank you for viewing.

Fewer than 1 in 3 Chevy dealers earn right to initially sell C7 Corvette

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Looking to make the launch of the 2014 Corvette Stingray as efficient as possible, Chevrolet will be limiting the numbers of its dealers that can sell the all-new coupe and convertible. According to Automotive News, sales of the C7 Corvette will initially be limited to less than a third of Chevy's total dealership network when the 'Vette goes on sale this summer.
Only 900 dealers out of more than 3,000 locations nationwide will be allowed to sell the new Corvette at first, and the reason for this is so that there are no shortages at dealers that can actually get the cars sold. The article says that the 900 dealerships chosen represented 80 percent of total Corvette sales in 2012.
Some of the requirements dealers had to make to get initial allocation of Stingray sales include having sold at least four Corvettes in 2012 and having a Corvette Stingray specialist who will be required to have gone through a training session costing more than $2,000 per attendee. Once demand for the 2014 Corvette Stingray begins to subside - approximately six to nine months after it goes on sale - then allocation could open up to more dealers, but the report indicates this could happen following the 2014 model year.

2014 Chevrolet C7 Corvette wastes no time zooming into Jay Leno's Garage

Thu, 24 Jan 2013

Where else would you expect the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray to show up first? Although this time it isn't exactly in Jay Leno's Garage, Leno instead playing an away game at Brown's Classic Auto in Scottsdale, Arizona. Nor does Leno drive the car, instead taking an 11-minute walkaround of the new American sports car with General Motors design head Ed Welburn, the same man who recently brought by a string of classic Corvettes to the talk show host's California compound.
It is, admittedly, a love-fest for the American sports car now featuring 450 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque, but one that also features admissions about previous Corvette seats like "they were kinda rough," and the explanation that labeling the coupe "Stingray" means not having to call it "the base Corvette." On top of that, Welburn also explains the proper application of the term "dashboard." You can watch it all in the video below.

Indian tuner turns Chevy Optra into Mustang 'Eleanor' replica

Fri, 03 Aug 2012

If you are a big fan of automotive oddities, this may come as a little treat. If you are a Shelby or Mustang diehard, prepare to have your sensibilities violated.
The master fabricators at BigDaddyCustoms are the minds behind what you see above. At first, it appears to be a slightly misshapen custom Mustang, modeled after "Eleanor" from Gone In 60 Seconds, but upon further examination, something appears to be amiss. In fact, the custom shop, based in India, has created an Eleanor replica grafted upon a lowly Chevrolet Optra. While it may take a second for the Optra to ring a bell, you should recognize its badge-engineered sibling, the Daewoo Lacetti, used on Top Gear.
We don't know what star would opt for the Reasonably Priced Car in Shelby's clothing, but it's clearly someone more concerned with the aesthetic than the performance credentials of this automotive mash-up.
