Vehicle Description
This 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer CST reaped all the benefits of a
recent, very thorough restoration, leaving it with an all new
interior, magnetic glossy paint draped over its exterior and a
drivetrain that's in rock-solid condition. If you're searching for
a classic SUV that retains every drop of its original appeal - with
just a touch of customization - and is ready for action without
delay, this is definitely one to check out.
Chevy's K5s from this era were such appealing, rugged looking
workhorses and this one, decked out in jet black, represents the
first generation of the model nicely. You can see at first glance
that it conveys a truck-like able-bodiedness and penchant for
action that comes as no accident - the K5 was designed essentially
as a short-wheel-based truck with convertible like versatility. The
eye-catching paint was applied not long ago and has a strong shine.
The added steel cowl hood conveys a subtle sense of aftermarket
attention without taking it too far and, as you take a lap around
the car, you're bound to notice the fresh condition of its exterior
fittings - the bumpers, as well as the front grille and side
mirrors, were all recently replaced and really pop against such a
dark backdrop. The removable hardtop on this Blazer is in great
condition. Recently refinished, it's looking its best and seals
nicely.
Climb in and you'll be surrounded by an interior that's been
refurbished from scratch and it's really looking sharp. You're not
likely to find any component that hasn't been replaced entirely -
the low backed front buckets, the center console they straddle as
well as the bench seat in back are all new, as are the door panels
to each side of them. Very much in keeping with the K5 Blazer's
rugged heritage, the floor has been lined with protective material
and, in addition to its added functionality, it also combines with
the fresh upholstery and rubber floor mats up front to create a
winning look. Just inside the liftgate, there's some welcome
storage space that's also well-protected by the added coating. The
dash area is another beneficiary of this Chevy's thorough
restoration. Its black steel surfaces are as smooth as can be and
it features an all new dash pad, as well as a new gauge cluster. An
AM/FM/CD stands by to handle your audio needs.
In addition to its undeniably sharp appearance, this Blazer is one
road-ready SUV, so there'll be no issues getting behind the wheel
and enjoying yourself right away. The 350 cubic inch V8 beneath its
cowl hood is armed with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb, aftermarket
headers and an HEI ignition system to maximize available spark.
Just like all the other work performed on this classic, the
detailing inside the compartment is top notch, so the engine looks
as good as it runs as it sits between a pair of squeaky clean inner
fenders, surrounded by all new belts and hoses. It pairs with a
3-speed automatic TH350 transmission that's in matching condition,
while featured 4-wheel drive surefootedness engages without a
hitch. Recently replaced power brakes and smooth power steering
provide low effort stops and maneuverability, and all of this
Chevy's body bushings have also been updated for a nice quiet ride
on its set of new 15" Rally wheels sporting equally new 33"
all-terrain tires.
You don't often see classic SUVs as thoroughly and tastefully
restored as this 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer CST, and it really has to
be seen to be fully appreciated. Call today!
