Vehicle Description
1987 Chevrolet Blazer K5 - Carolina Truck - 5.7L V8 - 4x4 - Clean
and Fun (Please note: If you happen to be viewing this 1987
Chevrolet Blazer K5 on a website other than our Garage Kept Motors
site, it's possible that you've only seen some of our many
photographs of the SUV due to third-party website limitations. To
be sure you access all the more than 150 photographs, as well as a
short start-up and walk-around video, and a link to the Blazer's
accident-and-damage-free Carfax history report, please go to our
main website: Garage Kept Motors.) With the K5 Blazer, GM created a
4�-4 that joined, but also changed, the SUV segment itself.
�€"Motor Trend, December 2020 Highlighting the Blazer's historic
launch as full-sized, a slap at the then-smaller Ford Bronco,
Chevrolet's period promotional brochure put it this way: The
Full-Size Blazer has quite a heritage-one which began in 1969 when
Blazer emerged as America's original full-size sport utility
vehicle. Many model years later, it is still the ideal vehicle for
the adventurer who really wants to go off into the horizon. Offered
here is a lifted, charcoal-gray-metallic over gray-and-blue
well-maintained '87 Blazer wearing a professional repaint. The
truck lived most of its 34 years in the Carolinas; its odometer
shows 166,438 miles, or fewer than 5,000 miles per-year since new.
The exterior dark-gray paint was professionally applied and remains
uniformly glossy. The fiberglass cargo-area roof (with slide-open
windows) is finished in black. Metal trim-including the chrome
bumpers, grille-surround, door handles, wheel-arch trim and
mirrors-is in excellent condition. Body panels are free of dents or
other damage. Factory-applied, brushed-metal emblems are in place
on the truck's front and rear fenders; the dark-gray Chevrolet
bowtie grille logo is perfect. Tinted cabin glass and all lighting
lenses are clear and free of damage. Aftermarket matte-black steel
wheels mounted with Wild County® Radial MTX tires, and an installed
lift kit, give the SUV the purposeful stance of a serious
back-country truck. Inside, the color theme mixes light-gray and
light-blue. Bucket seats in front are upholstered in light-gray
cloth upholstery, while the rear bench has same-design, but in
light blue. In both cases, there are no signs of abuse or excessive
wear, and no rips or tears. The light-blue door trim (with
light-gray fabric inserts) includes power-window controls). The
light-blue floor carpeting is in generally good condition, with
fading and stains evident in the cargo area. The dark-blue
dashboard, framed by the Chevrolet-branded steering wheel common to
the brand's full-size trucks of the period, includes the standard
array of instruments and engine-monitoring gauges, set in a
brushed-metal surround. That trim continues on the passenger side
where a Silverado emblem is mounted in the factory-correct
position. The automatic-transmission shifter is positioned on the
steering column, while the four-wheel-drive transfer case control
lever is floor-mounted. Factory air conditioning and heating
controls are slide-lever-operated, and an aftermarket, premium
Pioneer® audio head unit is installed in place of the factory
radio. A lockable storage compartment is located between the front
seats; the rear seat is a foldable bench with armrests. Under the
hood, the factory 5.7-liter V8 fuel-injected engine commands a
clean, well-ordered, and complete engine bay. All components,
hoses, and wiring are properly installed/routed. No modifications
are noted. Viewed from below, the truck's chassis is complete and
undamaged; there is no evidence of abuse or too-aggressive off-road
driving; no obvious dents or bent components. The lifted suspension
is properly installed, and the protective plate over the center
differential remains in place. While the more than 150
