1980 Chevrolet K5 Blazer 4X4

Silverado

Okay K5 fans, and all you eBayers out there on the interweb..  Let’s see who is paying attention.  This is a NO RESERVE AUCTION.  I am starting the bidding at a penny.  I have faith that the people of eBay can set the market for this Blazer..  The last bidder gets it!  Keep that in mind if you have a tendency to place bids willy nilly late at night..   You may win this one..  I will expect the winner to actually pay for it too.    

On the auction block today is a good and solid K5.  It is a 1980 1/2 top model it is a 4 Wheel Drive and has a newer 350 V8 crate engine.  I like this truck because it is solid.  I’m not saying “no rust” because I can see a little in the rockers and I pictured them.  But this is a very dry Blazer.  The underside that I pictured is all solid.  No weird patchwork either. 

The engine runs strong.  I don’t know how old the engine is or when it was installed but it just is one of those 350s that reminds us why that engine is so good.  A good 350 is about the best engine ever to be put in a car or truck or boat or anything else for that matter.  I put a new Holly 4 Bbl carb on it too because I couldn’t help myself.  I just really like that set up.. 

Anyway, yes the engine runs well and yes the transmission shifts properly and yes the 4X4 works like it is supposed to too.  Mechanically the k5 is in really good shape all around.  It drives tight the shocks are good the brakes stop straight and true.  There is not a bunch of wander in the steering.  Also the electric back window works perfectly from the inside but not with the key on the outside.

The Chevy looks good too.  The paint is fresh and the color is a really deep blue, although not a show quality job..  I think it is better than 90% of these out there.  The tires and wheels ane high quality and there is at least 75% tread on the rubber.

The inside is a little tired but it’s also all original.  Nothing lasts forever and the seats have held up pretty well considering this rig is over 33 years old.

I think this Blazer would be a great driver for a person that wants a vehicle like this for trips to the mountain or for fun off road camping adventures..  The top can come off in the summer and these K5s have a million other uses too.  Tow the boat, safe ride for Jr.,date night at the rodeo? 

This Blazer has all of the vintage appeal and will surely be one to hold on to for future appreciation.

I am setting the reserve very low and I know the K5 will sell the first go around as long as we all play by these rules. 

#1.  Only bid if you have intentions to buy. 

#2. Ask any and all questions before bidding. 

#3. Please contact me BEFORE BIDDING if you have zero or negative feedback.

#4. This is an AS-IS sale.  I have done my best to describe it exactly as I see it but it has no warranties or guarantees except a clean and clear legal title after payment.

#5. I will not accept Pay-Pal for the balance payment of the K5.  Pay-Pal is for the deposit only, the balance must be paid by certified check or wire.  Legitimate and legal buyers only please. 

Just be real and genuine and I will make sure that the winning bidder is happy with his or her purchase.  I have 100% positive feedback and I plan on keeping that.  Also, I will end the sale for the right offer so don’t wait till the last second and worry about missing out.  Just call me and we will work out a fair price..

I’m Justin my Phone number is 503-969-5127

Next-gen Chevy Cruze caught cruising in the cold

Wed, 13 Feb 2013

Spy photographers have caught what looks like the next-generation Chevrolet Cruze out on snow patrol. The camo could be tricking our eyes, but it look like it has an even tidier, more rounded front end and even lower fenders in relation to the top of the hood. And either a chunk of camo has been wedged between the side mirrors and the doors, or the mirrors are up for revision, too.
The door handles have been moved up the side of the car, leading the way to a rear end that grows a bit in length. If the rumors are true, the coming second-generation Cruze sits on the new D2XX platform that will replace the Delta and Theta platforms at General Motors. A global architecture, the Cruze will be the first to get it, but it will underpin everything from next Chevrolet Volt to the Equinox and could be responsible for 2.5 million units by 2018. The next Cruze is expected to begin production in GM's Lordstown, Ohio plant in the third quarter of 2014.

Chevy to show redesigned Captiva in Geneva, will it come to US rental lots?

Wed, 27 Feb 2013

Unless you're renting a car or driving through Orlando, Florida (the rental car capital of the US), you'll probably never see a Chevrolet Captiva - the rebadged, fleet-only version of the old Saturn Vue - on our roads, but this crossover is popular in many other parts of the world. As such, Chevrolet announced that the Captiva will be getting an update for 2013, which will be unveiled next week at the Geneva Motor Show.
Coming off a pretty extensive refresh in 2011, the 2013 model year will bring even more changes to the Captiva like LED taillights, new 18-inch wheels and revised fascias with a new grille and fog lights up front and inset chrome exhaust outlets at the rear. New interior features include heated rear seats, dual-zone climate control as well as available options on some of the upper trim levels such as leather seating and keyless entry and start. We have yet to hear back from Chevrolet as to whether or not the updated Captiva will be making its way to a rental lot near you, as the model is only available in the US to fleet buyers.
Alongside the updated Captiva, Chevy is also showing off its new Trax in Europe, where the subcompact crossover will go on sale this spring. GM's press release for these two Geneva-bound models is posted below.

Why does the Corvette Stingray have so many vents? Here's why

Sun, 27 Jan 2013

Just looking at the new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, it's not hard to see that the car's design was created with aerodynamics at the forefront, but Chevrolet designers point out exactly what went into designing the iconic coupe in a pair of recently released videos. The videos show the Corvette going through early design phases, including clay models and wind tunnel tests, as well as talking to the car's chief engineer, Tadge Juechter.
Both videos help explain various aspects of the C7 Corvette, but it's the aero tuning of the car that is most interesting. This includes extra attention paid to the lower air dam and vented hood to help reduce drag and lift, while the rear quarter inlets are for differential and transmission cooling. Juechter said that some of these aero-tuned elements were inspired from GM's involvement in racing.
If you have about five minutes and you can't get enough information about the new 'Vette, then check out the videos posted below.
