This is a 1994 Chevrolet Blazer 2 door.  This was nearing the end of the full size K series Blazer before it was rebadged as the Tahoe.  This is one of the finest examples that you will probably see.  It has been meticulously maintained.  It currently has 111k miles on it and is hard loaded with nearly every option. This only had a drivers seat for a power seat option.  It has all power equipment and a tilt wheel.  From what I've been able to discover the truck was bought new her in Colorado.  The second owner purchased it 13 years ago.  It has been garaged and it definitely shows.  It also has the more desirable manual shift transfer case.  No electric motors to give out when you need it most. 

 

·         It has new paint which is a gorgeous black with a deep gunmetal metallic gray lower half. It was then clear coated and polished.  It is in incredible condition!  The paint shop then used 3M clear bra material to cover the lower rockers to protect it from rock chips which would normally show up in this area.  I just can't say enough about this paint job.  It's hard to get black to lay down this good. The door hinge pins and bushings were also replaced along with some other small pieces when it was in for the paint.  Total was $3300.00.

 

·         The engine was replaced about 30k ago.  A factory replacement 5.7 TBI fuel injected (350ci) GM crate engine was used to keep with the originality and more importantly, reliability.  It was done at a reputable shop in Denver and while there a tall K&N air filter took the place of the factory unit.  Previous owner stated it was a little over $3,000.00 for the replacement. 

 

·         Exhaust.  It was redone around the time the engine was replaced.   Starts at the factory manifolds.  No headers to leak and cause problems.  It now has a Magna flow exhaust and Hi-Flow cat which spilt into duals running out the back.  There are black chrome tips finishing it off which give it an incredible look.  The truck has a mild rumble to it.  It's not obnoxious, loud and droning when you're driving at highway speeds.  It's clean with a nice note.   I believe that was about $750.00.  It passes the strict Colorado A.I.R. emissions program with ease. 

 

·         Interior.  It is gray cloth which is in near perfect condition! The carpet is very nice for the age as it looks to have been running floor mats the majority of it's life.  Seats are as comfortable as if new and not worn out with broken down side bolsters, torn material, etc.  I've added a new, billet steering wheel and hub assembly for personal preference but the horn is not hooked up through this wheel.  The horn works with the factory wheel. I'm negotiable if the winning bidder wants just the factory wheel.  I'd like to keep the billet one.  Factory wheel is included with the sale price.  The stereo system is all factory and works perfectly.  It does have upgraded speakers and a hidden amp in the back as well as an Alpine CD changer under the drivers seat.  The head unit is contained in the overhead console.  The system looks OEM but the sound quality is greatly improved over the factory system.  It is as clean and solid as the truck it's in. The front two roll ups have a mid level degree of tint added to them that matches the rear glass. 

 

·         Tires and wheels were replaced with very nice polished  17" alloy rims wrapped in Remington LT275/70R 17 all terrain tires.  I would estimate that they have about  90-95% tread life left.  No weird wear patterns, etc.  The truck drives nice and straight and rides super smooth.   I believe they were $1700.00.

·         Drivetrain.  The truck was ordered with most options which included the factory tow package.  This gets you 3.73 gears and the posi-track.  Z-71 package as well.  All fluids, filters, gaskets etc were replaced and serviced when the engine was done.  That includes the trans (700R4), transfer cases and both front and rear differentials, etc.

 

·         I replaced the lights rather than cleaning up the factory ones.  They were starting to show their age with slight fading.  This detracted from overall condition of the truck.  They are all new to factory specs.  No Pep-boy specials with the "European look" or those other  weird designs.  I like the OEM, factory GM look.  The truck looks even better now.  The new owner will get all of the factory original lights that were removed.  Also, while I was up there I added a chrome billet bow tie to finish it off. 

 

·         I have a file folder of receipts for hoses, fuel pump, seals and gaskets and other little odds and ends which shows the truck has been very well cared for.  If there was an issue the owners fixed it.   

 

The detractors that I see are the elastic document holders on the visors are sagging which they all do in time.  I've pinned them up so they are presentable.  It has a small crack on one of the dash panel screws in the upper left side of the dash.  You can see it in one of the pics if you look close enough.  Minor but mentionable.  The windshield has some age appropriate pitting to it.  I was planning on replacing it if I keep it.  Near perfect clear glass is what I prefer.  This is still in decent shape but I'm just picky about the glass. 

 

I just can't say enough about the condition of this Blazer.  It handles, rides and runs extremely well.  It is a very comfortable truck.  It represents one of the cleanest examples of this series of Chevrolet trucks that you will find.  This is the example that others should be measured against.  It's a great two door Blazer with tons of life left in it.  Lifes unexpected changes forces the sale of many of the toys to include this one.   

 

I would strongly, strongly encourage that you have an independent inspection done prior to bidding on this truck.  I'm confident that the appraiser will agree that it has been kept in incredible condition and is ready to go another few decades down the road!   It has a clean Carfax which shows me as the third owner. 

 

ASK ALL QUESTIONS PROR TO PLACING A BID!  YOUR BID IS A BINDING CONTRACT.  AGAIN, I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE SERIOUS BUYERS TO SEND A REPUTABLE INSPECTOR TO LOOK AT THE TRUCK.  IT WILL HELP TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT YOU MAY HAVE WHEN PURCHASING A VEHICLE SIGHT UNSEEN.   

 

I will do what I can if you'd like to look at the truck in person but please be considerate and give plenty of advanced notice.  I have a busy work and personal schedule that I'll need to work around. 

SHIPPING:  Buyer will make all arrangements surrounding shipping of the vehicle.  I will do what I can on my end to work with the carrier of your choice but you are responsible for shipping arrangements and payment to the carrier. 

PAYMENT:  A non refundable deposit of $300.00 is due within 24 hours of auctions end.  Remaining payment is due within 7 calander days from auctions end date. 

 

The reserve is in place for reasons of fairness.  It is very reasonable considering what this truck is and its condition.  Again, send an independant, qualified inspector to look at the vehicle.  I'm sure they'll be impressed with its condition.

**********UPDATE:  Had a few of questions that I thought I'd address. 

I found the reciept for the GM engine along with some other docs that came with it. Thought I didn't have it but it was buried in the file. 

Yes, the K&N filter was ordered with the recharge kit and it will be included.  It also has a Chiltons manual that will go with it.   

Yes, the full size spare is excellent.  Still has the hairs on it and looks to be brand new.  It's a Goodyear Wrangler on the perfect factory silver steel wheel.  I don't see any signs that this wheel was ever put into service. 

Yes, I have two sets of keys for it.

No, to the best of my knowledge and all of the information I have on this truck it has never been smoked in. 

No, I don't take payments. The truck and all associated documents, title, etc. will be released once valid payment clears. 

Correct, the trucks been in Colorado since new. 

 

Any other questions just ask. 

 

Thx

GM execs fired over fraudulent India emissions testing

Mon, 29 Jul 2013

General Motors hadn't had a recall in India since 1995. That changed when it was discovered that certain employees were playing tricks with local emissions testing in order to ensure passing grades for engines. More than ten GM Powertrain employees in India and the US have been let go over the ensuing emissions flap, including Sam Winegarden, VP of global engine engineering, a man who has been with the company since 1969, leading development of some marquee powerplants.
According to Automotive News, an internal investigation revealed that employees "violated testing procedures," sometimes swapping specially prepared low-emissions engines during testing regimes for the Chevrolet Tavera SUV equipped with the 2.0-liter and 2.5-liter engines. Employees were also manipulating weights in order to get vehicles placed into different emissions categories. The discovery has led to GM recall the 114,000 Taveras produced over an eight-year period and halting their production and sale.
The Economic Times of India reports that the issue is due to "a faulty component." GM has developed a solution to the issue, and once it is validated in testing and approved by the Indian authorities, the recalled vehicles will be fixed at dealers and production will resume.

GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales

Mon, 04 Nov 2013

Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.

Toyota tops Kelley Blue Book's Resale Value Awards

Tue, 27 Nov 2012

Kelley Blue Book announced its annual Best Resale Value Award winners, and we weren't too surprised to see the list dominated by Japanese automakers - mainly Toyota and Honda. KBB hands out the awards based on the projected residual value of mostly all 2013 model year vehicles, and Toyota skated home with a number of awards including 10 of the 22 overall categories and having five of its products in the top 10 for models with best resale value. KBB's Best Resale Value Awards were announced in the same week as the ALG Residual Value Awards, and there were many similarities between both lists, especially when it came to Toyota.
To come up with its winners, KBB measures depreciation over the first five years of ownership, and looks for the cars it expects to hold its value the best after this time; on average, the report says the 2013 model year vehicles will lose 61.8 percent of its value in five years. Of the 22 categories, 15 slots were filled by Toyota, Honda and Nissan products, while the Camaro and Porsche (Cayenne and Panamera) each took home a pair of awards. If Toyota has anything to be upset about in this list of cars, it's that categories for Hybrid/Alternative Energy Car and Electric Vehicle went to the Ford Fusion and Chevrolet Volt, respectively.
The overall top 10 models for the best resale value in 2013 are, in alphabetical order:
