Vehicle Description
This 1985 S10 Blazer is a southern 'survivor' vehicle that still
wears 100% of its original paint (minus induction hood and cowl),
as well as all of its trim and interior. It should be noted that
the interior has several Billet polished aluminum dress upgrades
that you will see in the photos. Please watch the videos for the
best photographic presentation of interior/exterior condition. This
vehicle is very possibly original low mileage which I can only
deduce from the minimal wear on original cosmetic items, zero door
sag, zero slop in the steering box, condition of the paint, etc.
This low mileage assessment is also confirmed by the Auto Check
service here on Ebay. There is very minor damage to the driver's
side rear quarter but no other damage/dents elsewhere. This vehicle
is very straight and all reveals are excellent. Additionally, there
is no rust or rust repair and if you would like photos of the
bottom. I purchased this vehicle with the intention of resolving,
and re-selling, what the owner, at a distance, described as a
knocking sound. When the vehicle arrived I discovered that it had
thrown a rod through the oil pan. I knew that I was going to have
to rebuild the motor even with just a 'knock' but didn't expect to
have to replace so many parts. The 350 is an 88 to 95 casting
number 638 block. The rod only damaged the oil pan and the block
was fine. The previous owner played the 'I don't know' game with me
to sell the engine knock story so I have no information from the
person who built it, the owner prior to him, except what we
discovered as we took it apart. He spent a lot of money. It began
with an Edelbrock/Weber fuel injection system, Edelbrock
performance aluminum heads which are ported and polished, roller
rockers, ARP studs, an Edelbrock 2102 cam, 2244p flat top forged
pistons, a Melling high volume oil pump, an external vacuum
canister, a built 700r4 transmission with a deep, ribbed cast
aluminum pan and external oil cooler, dual electric fans.
