This next car comes as a tip from Tony who writes: Thought I’d drop this off for your consideration. Obviously not everyone’s cup of tea, but it looks pretty decent for the money. This old beast is sweet! And only 11k miles on the odometer for a 71 year old car? That’s 150 miles a […]
Mercedes-Benz spent serious effort in promoting their diesel engines back in the 1980s and 1990s, in fact it is hard to know from searching craigslist that you could get a W123 Benz with a gasoline engine in the USA back in the day. Regardless, the OM-series oil burners were good for basic transportation, but not much of an upgrade for power/speed on most vehicles..however, if you want an upgrade in reliability and fuel economy, it does the trick. This next feature is the cheap and dirty version of the nice Chevrobenz Truck swap we featured the other day. Find this 1990ish Chevrolet S-10 Blazer offered for $2500 in Ford Washington, MD via craigslist. Tip from Cory.
This next car comes as a tip from SecondMouse who writes: Ordinarily, car people would generally run screaming away from an S10 offered for sale. But this one is, well, different. Some maniac stuffed a 2012 6.2 liter Chevy V8 in it, along with a 6 speed automatic and a few other goodies. This might be a fun ride for someone with an uncle in the tire business. Find this 1998 Chevrolet S-10 in Clute, TX via craigslist offered at $8500.
The Chevrolet S-10 pickup was not a performance vehicle by any stretch of the imagination (GMC Syclone version notwithstanding), but it seems to have developed a considerable customization scene. You can find all manner of bagged and boosted S-10s for sale on craigslist or autotrader and today’s next feature has more horsepower and torque than a compact pickup should ever need, which is a good thing if you were wondering. Find this 1999 Chevrolet S-10 Pickup offered for $15,000 in Central New Jersey via craigslist. Tip from Cory.
In case you live under a rock (and YES, i do understand living under a rock with all the scary stuff out in the big wide world…this next thing being a case in point…anywho) there is this festival of drugs and debauchery out in the Nevada desert that is called Burning Man…but should probably be […]
When I first saw this next car I was going to say that it looks about as much like a Bugatti as I look like Brad Pitt…but then I noticed that it was cheap. Really cheap. And I will forgive a lot of nonsense for a good price, so you can call this pile of […]
The first generation Chevrolet S-10 Blazer/Jimmy was a compact SUV built on the S-10 pickup chassis from 1983 through 1994. The Blazer offered a some level of truck utility and seating for 5 people, but they did not offer a removable hardtop like the full-sized K5 Blazer/Jimmy. Regardless, this next example has been converted into […]
This next car comes as a tip from Ignacio and you’ve really got to see it to believe it…but there isn’t much to see…other than the Michael Moore impersonator staring at the camera…what is going on? Find this 1995 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer offered for $1600 in Boerne, TX via craigslist. The entire text of the […]
The second generation Chevrolet Blazer/GMC Jimmy/Opel Blazer was based on the popular S-10 truck chassis and was now midsized to match the growing wasteband of ‘Murica. The biggest engine available from the factory was a 4.3 liter Vortec V6 that produced up to 200 horsepower, so if you wanted the relive the lunacy of the […]
If you read the Pope’s most recent encyclical (Laudato Si‘), you might have noticed the part where the Jesuit Pontiff says folks should to start turning used banana peels into footwear, lest we fall down the slippery slope towards global doom (and if the Three Stooges taught me anything, it is that slipping on a […]
