Vehicle Description
One family owned since ordered brand new! This beautifully kept
1976 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne 4x4 was fully restored between
2011-2013 with awesome results! Powered by original, numbers
matching 400ci V8 and optioned with automatic transmission, All
Weather air conditioning, Cheyenne Equipment Group, Variable-Ratio
power steering, power disc brakes, bucket seats, tilt column, heavy
duty suspension, and so much more! Competition in auto
manufacturing spawned some of the greatest vehicle creations that
find their way into prominent collections today. In the case of
sport utility trucks, the Jeep CJ, International Harvester Scout,
and Ford Bronco all had a rather strong grasp of the off-road
capable truck market. That was until the full-size Chevrolet Blazer
came onto the scene! Based on the standard short wheel base truck,
but fitted with a larger passenger cabin, and the same host of
luxury options as other Chevrolet models, these larger, more
comfortable Blazers were an instant success! It remained a loyal
marque for Chevrolet through 1994 with various revisions and
updates over the years. Today, early high-optioned original
examples are desirable the world over! We are very pleased to offer
this 1976 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne 4x4 Sport Utility! Finished
in Special Two-tone Grecian Bronze & white with Saddle Custom Vinyl
bucket seat interior, this cosmetically restored example comes with
a host of factory options! Powered today by its original, numbers
matching 400ci small block V8 engine and Turbo-Hydramatic
transmission, it is ready to handle just about anything you can
throw at it! Factory appointed equipment included air conditioning,
Cheyenne Equipment Group, power front disc brakes, Variable-Ratio
power steering, 4-wheel drive with Dana 44 HD front axle along with
NP203 transfer case, 12-bolt rear axle, Rally Wheels wrapped
235/75R15 Goodyear Wrangler Radial raised-white letter tires,
chromed grill, front bucket seats with storage console, 3-person
rear bench seat, dash instrumentation package, all Soft-Ray tinted
glass, upgraded Custom Autosound AM/FM/Aux radio, 31-gallon gas
tank, heavy-duty suspension, front & rear seatbelts, electric
clock, and more! Being ordered brand new from Rauscher Chevrolet
Co. in Kirkwood, Missouri, it delivered on September 25th, 1975 to
its only, original owners! It made its way to Deerfield Beach, FL
early on and stayed in Florida through 1988. It then came back home
to their St. Louis residence in St. Genevieve, MO and was used only
sparingly while stored indoors. At approximately 95,000 miles, it
was cosmetically restored by Crown Chevrolets body shop in
Farmington, MO in 2011-2012 to include a full repaint and received
new window seals, weather stripping, chrome door handles, exterior
mirrors, front grill & headlight surrounds, and front & rear
bumpers. Once it arrived to the St. Louis Car Museum, we installed
new interior carpet, seat upholstery & foams, dash pad, and
instrumentation surround. This was all finished by 2013 along with
brand new radial tires, new Sensatrack shocks(4), hood insulation,
sway bar bushings, ball joint, front end alignment, all new exhaust
system, completely rebuilt air conditioning system to include new
polished compressor, expansion valve, new hoses, condenser, drier,
and R134a conversion. The car remains wonderfully solid &
presentable throughout, and drives equally as well! It still
retains a perfect original glove box identification sticker(now
removed and kept in plastic) and factory attached metal door jamb
ID tag. All original owners manual, delivery inspection, service
booklet, maintenance schedule, all Florida registration records
from 1975-1988, Missouri registration forward, and some restoration
receipts are all included with the sale inside a binder. Please

Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne 4X4 or schedule a chance to view it in
