Up for sale is my 1972 Chevy Blazer. This was originally bought in TX and has spent its whole life in either CA/TX (little to no rust). I bought this 2 years ago from the owner of a mechanics shop. He had owned it for 10+ years and hadn't driven it a great deal. I was hoping to use this as a good base to make into my vision of this body style. Unfortunately, 2 years has gone by and I literally haven't done a single thing to it (and have driven it less than 500 miles myself). Reality has set in and I realize I may never have the time needed to do the work, so I'm selling and clearing the space in my driveway. I'll do my best to represent the truck as accurately as possible, but please feel free to ask any questions.
- 454 crate motor (non-EFI) that I was told was installed about 15 years ago. There are approximately 20k miles on the motor and 136k on the chassis.
- Front and rear ends were both rebuilt prior to me buying (~500 miles ago)
- New rear driveline 500 miles ago
- New Flowmaster two chamber mufflers 500 miles ago
- 4" Rancho lift kit
- 15x8 Mickey Thompson Classic II Locks (simulated bead lock) with 33x12.50x15 Pro Comp X-Terrain Tires. These have less than 1500 miles on them
- Double Wall Fiberglass Hardtop - hard to find
- Front/Rear seats from 1992 Suburban (red)
- Originally a CST and have the badges if you would like them
- It needs paint. It looks fine from farther away, but whoever painted this before me did so likely as a garage project. It's a fairly weak job and there is no clear cloat or sealant (some paint comes off on towels after washing/driving).
- The a/c does not work and has not since the 454 was put in. This can be made to work with an aftermarket bracket.
- There is no carpet for the interior. The previous owner looks to have herculined the interior and then painted it over with red (again, a sloppy paint job in my opinion, but is functional)
- No passenger seatbelt
- Some cracks in the hardtop near where the interior lights are usually placed (not installed). If you'd like separate pics, let me know

GM claims it's first to sell million 30+ mpg vehicles
Fri, 04 Jan 2013As we continue to put together all the data for the year-end edition of By The Numbers, General Motors has announced that it sold more than a million vehicles in the US last year that achieved at least 30 miles per gallon on the highway. More impressively, GM managed this feat using multiple strategies including small vehicle size, turbocharged engines and hybrid or plug-in technologies across four brands (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet and GMC) accounting for 13 separate models. This number will grow even more in 2013 thanks to cars like the all-electric Spark, the diesel Cruze, the range-extended Cadillac ELR and the Buick Encore compact CUV.
GM's small car sales were up 39 percent last year helping to attain this million-sales mark for 30-mpg models, and almost 40 percent of all GM sales consisted of cars with fuel-efficient I4 engines. In regards to more advanced means of improving fuel economy, GM says that it plans on having 500,000 vehicles with "some form of electrification" on the road by 2017.
Scroll down for the full list of GM's million 30+ mpg cars as well as an informative press release.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Race Recap: 2013 Indianapolis 500 better than Bollywood; all the emotion, none of the music [spoilers]
Mon, 27 May 2013If the 2013 Indy 500 were a movie it would be the one expected to win all the little statues come awards season, and if it were an athlete it would have made spectators watch in awe as it broke record after record. And this kind of talk comes after last year's race was considered one of the best ever - the last lap hijinks in 2012 and Takuma Sato's crash leading to a podium ceremony straight out of a Golden Globes tearjerker.
But this year's race delivered more than anyone expected, from the 250,000 fans to the commentators to the IndyCar series itself and, finally, to the guy who hopped through a two-mile window on Lap 197 to take the lead and keep it until the end.
