'05 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT

http://images.securedwebform.com/stock/300/chevrolet/trailblazer/2005/5od.jpg


Room for 5 adults and 2 children, 4.2-liter inline-6, dual overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, variable phasing for the exhaust cam = 275 HP.

With the longer wheelbase and 17" tires, it rides like a towncar. It has no problem at all pulling my popup camper.

. . . and can get on the freeway with authority.

1968 Chevy Camaro SS 396 [my BIL's car] could pass anything on the road except a gas station. . . .

1975 Vega GT [ordered it new, $4200]

Mechanical Advance Distributor

Positraction, front and real sway bars, rear traction bars

IECO short block, steel sleeves, 8.5:1 popups

1/2 race cam

Dual Weber side drafts

2.93:1 rear end

4 speed manual



. . . people couldn't believe that it would do 55MPH in second.

If I kept my foot out of it, I could get 32MPH on the highway.


Had it up to 117MPH on the desert between El Paso and Carlsbad. . . still had gears but the front end was getting light.

Set a respectable record for El Paso to San Antonio [mid '70s: radar detector and CB radio]

600 miles in 8 hours and 10 minutes.

. . . from just outside El Paso to Fort Stockton, got with 3 18-wheelers and a Datson 260-Z and we were running 100-105 the whole way.


This Vega was destined for a V-8 transplant, but along the line, I got married.

. . . and my priorities changed.

I forgot headers. . . . those more than anything made my Vega scream.

Unfornunately, I wrecked my car in July (the day after it was paid off!) and had to buy a new one.... bought a 2006 Hyundai Sonata. We love it!!!!! Don't know how to add a pic though :-(
