Vehicle Description
This is the vehicle that launched the legend. The 1969 Chevrolet
Blazer K5 was the first year you could get your hands on the large
4x4 convertible, and so this is a rare V8-powered treat.
The first-generation Blazer just has a big and beefy presence, and
that aggressive attitude is heightened even further with the color
that looks close to Chevy's famous Hugger Orange. And we love the
way the full black folding top contrasts against the bright color
to make this look great even when the roof is in place. But the
real appeal is not just about mixing a muscle car appearance with
4x4 prowess. We know your mind is racing about all the places
you'll go in a cool full-size droptop SUV. After all, this is that
perfect machine to see and be seen everywhere from the campsite to
the beach - can't you just see your surfboard peeking out from
between the roll bar already???
Inside, this one continues hints of muscle car flair with the
SunPro tach in the center of the dash cluster, a grippy sports
steering wheel, and a deep black interior. We even love the hint of
attitude with the tap handle on the 4x4 selector. But there's also
a more practical side. This one is really out to be an all-around
cruiser with features like the AM/FM/CD stereo, cup holder center
console, and a driver's seat that was re-padded to be all-day
comfortable.
Maybe all of this go-fast appearance is due to the truck's
heartbeat. This 350 cubic-inch V8 was rebuilt in 2011. And you can
really tell it has been well-maintained ever since just by the way
the shine and the color radiate from within the dark engine bay.
But more than just looks, it has been upgraded throughout,
including a bored .60 over kit, four-barrel carburetor, and
Edelbrock intake. This muscle symphony exits through a rumbling
dual exhaust system. But more than just power for the streets,
you're going to love how this V8 truly delivers the muscle needed
to be a go-anywhere 4x4. That's why you also have a two-speed
transfer case, lifted stance, and Warn locking hubs in the front.
And no matter if you're on the street or trail, you'll appreciate
great anytime driving features like the TH350 three-speed automatic
transmission, smooth power steering, and front disc brakes.
A 4x4 convertible with plenty of muscle car appeal...see, we told
you this was the perfect all-around classic. And since they only
produced 4,935 examples in its inaugural year (nearly half a
century ago) you're looking at great history to go with your beefy
presence. A cool Blazer like this won't wait for long. Call
now!
