In 1969, GM released the Blazer into the Chevy lineup, making it the smallest full-size SUV Chevy made at the time. With a full convertible removable top available until 1975, the Blazer and its counterpart the GMC Jimmy, soon became instantly recognizable among enthusiasts alike.
Our friend Tim has been a hardcore SUV enthusiast since day one. And his ’74 K5 Blazer is the epitome of the Blazer that Chevy had in mind from the beginning.
Anybody can run right down to the Chevrolet store, order up a Corvette and have a fast car. Considering a Honda Accord can run well into the low $30,000 range, Corvettes aren’t even expensive anymore. But a true car guy will shop for cars that look commonplace, dowdy, decontented or even downright ugly just to see the look on the face of a flashier car’s driver when they get dusted at a stop light. BoldRide presents five of the sleepiest sleeper cars in history:
Up until the advent of electronic ignition in the 1970s, if you wanted your car to run correctly, you had to do a little work on it on a regular basis. Now a “tune-up” is essentially extinct, since you don’t really need to even change plugs up to 100,000 miles. Part of a car’s regular maintenance procedure used to be setting ignition points. Getting it done correctly is something that about 12 people in America still know how to do. Continue Reading »
Yeah, so I could do a Google search and come up with five lame things you should do to your car before you go anywhere this summer. (“Check your tire pressure!” says Kiplingers. Thanks for that hard-hitting communique, People Who Get Paid More Than Me!) Instead, this is a list of things that should make some kind of a difference when the backs of your legs are stuck to the vinyl this summer. Continue Reading »
Well what do you know, it’s everyone’s favorite holiday, National Donut Day. We hope you’re all stocked up to the brim with sprinkles and chocolate and vanilla glaze galore. Us personally, we like a different kind of donut. Burnt on the inside, with more than a hint of tire smoke. Delicious.
And in honor of this national holiday, Lexus and Chevy are frying up some donuts of their own, via the 580-hp ZL1 and an LFA with LPGA pro golfer Natalie Gulbis at the helm. We just can’t decide which one tastes better…
Here’s your throwback Thursday wheels wallpaper- a 1961 Chevy Corvette. The generation that started it all. When Chevrolet introduced the ‘Vette in 1953, it transformed from a niche vehicle, to a must have American muscle car. Click here to download.
THE BASICS
Make: Chevrolet
Model: Corvette
Engine: 4.3L V8
HP: 290
For all the years that Chevrolet used SS as a performance designation, no single model wore it as an actual name, until now. While SS has been thrown on everything from iconic coupes to low-slung pickups, the letters will now come to represent Chevy’s new four-door, rear-wheel drive, V8 performance sedan. While that’s old news, we now have the price. The 2014 Chevy SS will cost buyers $44,470. Let’s brake down what that gets you.
Unbelievably, Michael Bay is still making freaking Transformers movies. While we can do without the nausea-inducing editing style and shallow dialogue, we can’t seem to get enough of the cars from the films. Bay knows this, and on his site and his Facebook page, he debuted three new vehicles for the next installment. Incredibly, only one of them is from General Motors.
Since its unveiling, there has been all manner of reporting on the 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. From speculation to confirmation, a lot of the talk has been about the design and packaging, but what eluded the motoring press were any reports on what makes a Corvette a Corvette; the engine. It has now been confirmed that the next Vette will put out 460 horsepower, but there’s a catch.
I’m all for automotive personalization. My wagon’s rear windows are plastered with Reverend Horton Heat, Deke Dickerson and the Ecco-Fonics and Liquid Dreams Surf Shop stickers. Hell, half the wagon is covered with woodgrain shelf paper. Nevertheless, there is adhesive-backed festoonery that telegraphs to everyone in traffic that you’re at best, a nitwit, and at worst, possibly a serial killer. Continue Reading »
