Vehicle Description
Introduced as a competitor to the legendary Ford Bronco and
venerable International Scout, Chevrolet's awesome K5 Blazer could
be considered the Camaro of SUVs - it didn't create the segment,
but it certainly set the standard! In fact, the Blazer was such a
success that Chrysler, the company every SUV manufacturer continues
to chase, ultimately created offerings like the Ramcharger and
original Jeep Cherokee as direct competition. So, how do you make a
ride that's already as hot as this convertible Chevy even more
desirable? You professionally refinish its body, bolt up some trick
suspension components, throw in a smooth small block and line it
with a nice combination of timeless style and modern convenience.
If you like your classic to be show ready AND fun to drive, but
Jeeps and Broncos are just too common and too cramped, this killer
K5 is your next cruiser!
TAILORED TWO-DOOR
Built to turn heads while conquering the road, this sweet Chevy is
the beneficiary of a detailed rotisserie restoration that followed
excellent metalwork with silky black two-stage. At the head of that
gloss, a '68 Action Line front-clip tilts a righteous red bowtie
amid traditional headlights, a polished bumper and a
stainless-trimmed grille. Above that grille, a tilted bonnet floats
a classy Chevrolet hood sight in front of stainless-trimmed glass
that's sealed between bright wipers, a Satin Black top and a
polished antenna. That antenna tops a retro chic profile, which
floats polished door handles and '72 K5 marker lamps between custom
badging, '68 C10 mirrors and '68 C10 rocker trim. And at the back
of that trim, a polished fuel cap leads bright halogen taillights,
which join a red-trimmed '68 C10 tailgate between '68 C10 stainless
and a second polished bumper.
ALL TRUCK!
Pop this classic's stylish hood and you'll find an even six liters
of modern Chevrolet small block that, like the truck's restoration,
is fresh and ready to roll! Providing high-end motivation for two
decades of General Motors offerings, the storied Vortec 6000
combines the agreeable power of GM's banner LS V8 with the resolute
durability that's expected of cherished American rigs. Front and
center, a Spectre filter cone caps a polished air tube. Billet
serpentine components spin a polished power steering pump beneath a
polished alternator and a polished AC compressor. A trick radiator
support strings a polished Performance Rod & Custom radiator in
front of quick SPAL puller fans. AC Delco plug wires join cast
exhaust manifolds and a quality Baer master cylinder to detail an
otherwise purpose-built performer. And everything rides in a clean,
body-matched engine bay that's finished with crisp hood supports
and an ornate engine shroud.
NOT STOCK
Park this Blazer on a lift and you'll find solid floors that, along
with a fully restored chassis, sport clean, monochromatic
aesthetics. At the center of those bones, a smooth 4L60E 4-speed
automatic spins torque to a tough 12-bolt axle. That proven pumpkin
pushes a parallel 4-link rear-clip that wraps RideTech
coil-over-shocks in quality Hyperco springs. An independent
front-half bends a thick sway bar around fluid power steering, two
more Hyperco-spiced RideTech shocks and brutal RideTech StrongArm
control arms. At the corners, serious Baer calipers clamp a quartet
of drilled and slotted rotors. Aluminized pipes feed throaty turbo
mufflers while an electric pump drains a stainless fuel tank. And
all that mechanical goodness rolls on polished Bonspeed wheels,
which lap 235/50R19 Couragia redlines in front of 275/55R20
Couragia redlines.
RED HOUNDSTOOTH!
Climb inside this razor-sharp K5 and you'll find a dramatic yet
simple interior that feels like a great place to spend the summer!
Dressed in striking red houndstooth, the truck's factory thrones
are all-day comfortable. Textured carpet centers a small console
between correct door panels and color-keyed floor mats. A glossy
dash, stamped with a familiar red bowtie, founds direct-fit audio
and Vintage Air conditioning between a '72 pad, stainless-trimmed
pedals and attractive Dakota Digital VHX telemetry. And the driver
spins a choice Chevrolet Rally Wheel around a tilting column.
It's no wonder the Chevrolet Blazer continues to be one of the
market's most popular options for stylish, high-riding
transportation! With sweet aesthetics, epic swagger and muscle car
streetability, this K5 is the perfect combination of form and
function. Call your friends at https://www.RKMotors.com for more
