1970 Chevrolet Blazer Base Sport Utility 2-door 5.0l on 2040-cars
Mansfield, Pennsylvania, United States
|
Up for auction is a 1970 Chevrolet Blazer a buddy and I picked up a couple of years ago in Fayette County, PA. The truck had been sitting for a long time and was last inspected in 1998. It looked as though the previous owner started a restoration and stopped after realizing he was in over his head. We winched her on a car hauler and brought her home. The previous owner had picked up a new soft top and rail system and a poly fuel cell to replace the leaking stocker. It has a set of white wagon wheels and is in desperate need of tires. The tires on it hold air for a while, but are pretty worn and weather checked. The front left has a spare tire on it because it made for easier loading and unloading from the car hauler. Once we got her home I pulled the stock intake, carb, distributor, wires, and plugs. I replaced the plugs, installed some Accel plug wires, and a HEI distributor. I swapped the cast iron two barrel intake for an aluminum Edelbrock four barrel intake. The carb is a 600 CFM, electric choke Edelbrock. The valve covers, thermostat housing, and air cleaner are all Edelbrock as well. Once the intake was buttoned up, we hooked up a temporary fuel cell and bumped it over to see where the timing was hitting. The truck fired right up and settled into an idle. As long as the battery is charged, that's all you have to do. Just bump the key and it fires right up every time....way better than my '79 does! The transmission is a manual, three speed on the column that shifts perfectly. Our plan was to remove the column shift and install an automatic for ease of use. The passenger and rear sets are in good shape, but the driver's seat needs some attention. There's a removable GMC center console as well as the push bar mounted on the front bumper. The lights, gauges, and indicators all work as they should and the wiring looks good save the switch that was installed for a set of off road lights on the push bar. The switch and lights were removed. There is no stereo, but the dash is otherwise in great shape. It had been a while since either of us had run a three speed, but once familiarized we had no problem navigating all over the property with the Blazer in 2 and 4 wheel drive. As stated, there is a new poly fuel cell in the rear that needs installed as well as an aftermarket soft top. We didn't attempt to install either as we used the Blazer for running around the property. That was pretty much all the good, so I'll move on to the not so good. The body is in need of extensive repair. I could ramble on about all of the parts that have rust, but I'll let the pics do the talking. The frame has scaling, but only appears to have one hold on the side of the c channel above the left rear shock mount. Below you'll find a link to a short video of us firing her up. The idle is a bit high as the choke isn't hooked up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tLZUA6CB6M&feature=youtu.be The truck will come with the stock intake, manifold, carb, and some miscellaneous spare parts. The truck can be driven on to a trailer for transport. Drop me a line with any questions and I'll do my best to answer them. This is a no reserve auction for a good old classic truck that needs a new home! |

GM throttles back Chevy Malibu, Buick LaCrosse production over swollen inventories
Wed, 06 Feb 2013As inventory of the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse continues to pile up, General Motors will be idling its Fairfax Assembly Plant for two weeks, according to Automotive News. This move comes about a month after the plant was shut down for three weeks in late December and early January for the same reason. As of January 31, the GM had a 94-day supply of Malibu stock while the LaCrosse was a little worse with a 117-day supply.
Just last week, GM announced that it would be investing $600 million in upgrading this plant, but it's unclear what future plans the company has in store for Fairfax considering slow sales of both the plant's models. We do expect a refreshed and more luxurious LaCrosse shortly and an early design update for the Malibu to be announced at some point this year, although we have had no official word as to when either will happen.
Watch this time-lapse build of the Chevy SS for NASCAR
Fri, 08 Feb 2013There's only about a week left until we get our first look at the production version of the 2014 Chevrolet SS sedan, but Chevrolet NASCAR teams have been looking at the race version of the car all winter. Autoweek has posted a really neat time-lapse video showing just a portion of what it takes to build one of NASCAR's new Gen6 stock cars.
Though the video is quite brief, it does show almost the entire build process starting with just the car's nose, and it gives us a good look at how integral the template is to the final product. As a bonus, Hendrick Motorsports also provided some videos showing two of its teams performing pit stop tests over the winter. The second video shows some of the more detailed aspects of the racecar's rear end, including the stock-looking trunk cutout and a newly mandated rear bumper extension that will be used on super speedways like Daytona and Talladega.
To see what Team Chevy has been up to all off-season, check out all three videos posted after the jump.
C7 Corvette turbo with 1,000 horsepower promised from Hennessey
Mon, 25 Feb 2013If you can't wait for the next-generation Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, Hennessey says they will have you covered. The Texas-based company has announced it will offer a spate of upgrades for the 2014 Corvette ranging from a range of bolt-on options all the way up to a 1,000-horsepower, twin-turbo system. Buyers can start with a cold air intake, cat-back exhaust or stainless steel long-tube headers, but Hennessey says it will also offer up three stages of forced induction mayhem should those bits and baubles not provide enough thrust.
Those choices start with a supercharger system good for up to 700 hp, though Hennessey will gladly ditch the blower in favor of two turbos. Doing so will spin the crank to the tune of 800 horsepower all the way up to a certifiably ludicrous 1,000 ponies. There's no word on how much these tricks will cost you - or when they will be available, as we're guessing they haven't gotten their hands on the car yet - but you can head over to the Hennessey site to drop them a line if you're curious.
