Used Car of the Day: 2001 Chevrolet Blazer
Here's an interesting one -- a 2001 Chevrolet Blazer that has had a manual transmission swapped in for an automatic. Oh, and it has been used for storm chasing.
It's hard to tell if it's actually for sale yet -- the owner lists an asking price of $1,234 and then queries the forum to see what a fair price would be. Still, I feel confident that it will be for sale soon.
In addition to the transmission swap, it's had a full tuneup and the suspension and brakes have been replaced with new parts.
Sorry, folks, I don't see a mileage listed.
If you're into something like this -- and I will refrain from commenting on the music taste we see at play -- you can pick it up in Peoria, Illinois, which is just a few hours down the road from where I am sitting right now.
Now I want to re-watch Twister. It's probably on cable as we speak.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.
