Vehicle Description
Plenty of power to surmount even the more unforgiving of terrain,
the promise of an exhilarating open air driving experience whenever
you choose, plus a great look both inside and out. This 1972
Chevrolet K5 Blazer is one ultra-clean classic with an awful lot to
offer and it all comes at a fair price for such a hard to find,
well-restored SUV.
While it was actually a late entry into the SUV competition of its
day, it didn't take all that long for a first generation Blazer
like this '72 to make up for lost time and eclipse its rivals in
popularity. It's a stout, capable looking truck, which isn't really
surprising, since Chevy had always intended the model for spirited
use, even to the extent that when the K5 Blazer debuted, it was
only offered in 4-wheel drive configuration. The fresh looking
shade of white draped over this vintage workhorse really looks nice
- even from up close - and its factory-correct exterior wears a
collection of new chrome, emblems and trim to inject a vitality
you'll notice right away. The paint has a nice consistent texture
with no notable flaws. The combination of all of that off-road
prowess and open air versatility is plenty compelling, and for
those occasions calling for more shelter, a manual convertible top
is included and it looks very fresh, with clear tinted windows on
its sides and back.
The interior was refurbished from scratch and now features a sort
of "factory-plus" appearance that's a perfect match for a classic
SUV like this one. The front buckets and rear bench seat now wear
snug-fitting black vinyl covers and sit over a very solid floor
that's protected by a rhino-type liner for a look that's both
rugged and practical while engaging in real world off-roading, with
a pair of very sturdy rubber mats both in front and back. The sight
of the manual shifter and the lever engaging the 4-wheel drive
ability of this seldom-seen Chevy sitting side by side over such a
"ready for action" backdrop is pretty hard to beat. The dash area
is especially sharp, with a fresh black instrument panel holding a
collection of clear gauges encircled by chrome rings that look like
they've just been installed, and a new dash pad running across the
top. In back, the storage area is well-protected by that same
liner, and an aftermarket speaker cabinet helps fill the interior
with sound.
Beneath the hood sits a 350 cubic inch V8 that's been armed with a
4 barrel Edelbrock carb and a mid-rise chrome intake manifold.
Besides looking great with its assembly of chrome components, the
engine provides plenty of power that you'll really enjoy, whether
you find yourself on the highway or on more rugged terrain and it
sounds awesome as it exhales into its Hedman long tube headers
leading out to a full 2-�" exhaust to serve ample notice of your
arrival. The overall classic driving experience this Blazer offers
is really outstanding - its 4-speed manual transmission is shifting
smoothly, the clutch action is seamless and its 4-wheel drive
engages without a hitch. Very clean 15" steel wheels outfitted with
meaty 33x12.5x15 BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A radials finish this
Blazer in just the right fashion while equipping it with plenty of
gripping ability wherever it may find itself.
Skillfully restored and running strong, this 1972 Chevrolet K5
Blazer offers a blend of vintage appeal and off-road prowess you
don't often find. Call today!
