Vehicle Description
It's 1977, Atari is released in North America, the first Star Wars
film, Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope premieres on May 25th, and
this cool red 1977 Blazer rolls off the assembly line. Since than
she has undergone a radical transformation. Starting with: 454 CID
crate motor with less than 5,000 miles, rebuild 3-speed auto, rear
quarters replaced with fiberglass Chevy dually panels, custom red
and black interior, tonneau cover new paint in 2010, new Kenwood
deck and sound system. Definitely one of kind truck that is sure to
turn heads anywhere you go. The K5 Blazer was the smallest full
size SUV version of the Chevrolet C/K family. Introduced to the
Chevrolet line in 1969, the full-size Blazer was replaced in 1995
by the Chevrolet Tahoe. In 1970, GMC introduced its own model of
the truck, called the Jimmy, which was discontinued in 1991 and
replaced by the GMC Yukon in 1993. Both were based on the short
wheelbase trucks and were available with either rear-wheel drive or
four-wheel drive. The Blazer's long wheelbase relative (with an
integrated rear body, and doors for 2nd row passengers) is known as
the Chevrolet Suburban. The "Jimmy" name was chosen to reflect the
GMmy sound in a similar manner in how Jeep was a pronunciation of
GP in the competing market. The K5 Blazer and Jimmy had "full
convertible" removable tops until 1975. In 1976, GM introduced a
half-cab design that was less prone to leaks and slightly safer in
a roll-over. These half cabs are convertible starting at a few
inches behind the driver/passenger doors all the way back to the
tailgate. To view the car in greater detail, including an HD video
