Vehicle Description
Upgraded small block power, extra tall 4x4 prowess, trail-ready
features, and an upgraded interior all bring together added value
to this 1979 Chevrolet Blazer Cheyenne K5 4x4. So it's especially
nice to the classic convertible SUV for such a nice price.
These full-size Blazers seem to have a perpetual appeal, because
they start with the beefy/boxy look we love on the C10s of this
generation and make them ideal. After all, they have an almost
square profile that would make a short bed Silverado jealous. And
the lifted stance adds to this boldness. The Copper Metallic paint
has an earthy tone to it, and so it has a level of finish that
won't make you cry if you come across some branches on your way
through nature. And speaking of nature, while we like the look of
the white fiberglass top matching the steel forward roof section,
we really love this Blazers because you can remove the hardtop and
be open to the world. This has the classic pieces of a premium
Cheyenne, like the chrome bumpers, upgraded badging, and
full-length trim. This is joined by nice upgrades like the clean
grille and 15-inch alloys. Of course, the best upgrades are the
ones that add function, like the six-inch lift, driver's-side step,
and the proper trailer hitch.
The interior is upgraded in the right places and remains vintage in
the right place. For starters, the seating has been upgraded with
plush leather units of a much later model Chevy Tahoe/Blazer. The
carpeting, dash, and door panels all have the look of originality,
right down to the wood-like trim. The dash wraps around the driver
like a sports car, and the tilt steering column really give you a
clear view to the gauges. And it's also an easy reach to upgrades
like the AM/FM/CD stereo and factory air conditioning converted to
R134a (will need servicing to blow cold again.)
These Blazers are known for hardy small block power, and this one
does it particularly well. It has a younger 350 cubic-inch crate
V8. It inhales deeper with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and
Edelbrock intake. Headers let this exhale with added power while
feeding the rumbling dual exhaust. And if you've been looking at
the engine bay, we bet you spotted the air compressor. It lets you
get the air pressure low on this Kevlar-backed Goodyear Wrangler
tires for the best off-road traction, and then pump them back up
for regular use. And speaking of everyday use, there are nice
anytime driving features like the power steering, power brakes,
front discs, and recently rebuilt three-speed automatic
transmission.
This is the classic full-size Blazer that has a lot to offer beyond
its value price. So don't let this deal slip away. Call now!
