For Sale: 1985 Chevrolet Blazer in Concord, North Carolina

This 1985 Chevrolet Blazer K5 has V8 power, an overdrive transmission, an A/C interior, and a great color combo. So that makes for a nice package when looking for one of the coolest vintage 4x4 hardtop convertibles around.

The two-tone on this one makes it an instant standout. After all, these K5 Blazers have an all-American attitude, and this red and white combo seems to bring it out with all the appeal of a Coca-Cola bottle. There are nice brightwork pieces like the bumpers, newer grille, and Silverado full-length trim that add to the classic look. But the best details might just be how the white roof section in front coordinates nicely with the removable fiberglass rear roof section. It gives this one a nice look of completeness with the top on or off. There was an update later in life to keep this looking glossy, but it's also not so refined that you'll feel nervous about taking this 4x4 on anything more than a manicured lawn. After all, there's still plenty of function in a classic like this. That's why you have a tall stance, luggage rack, and a proper tow hitch.

Inside is more of the tasteful red. The hardtop has not been off in at least a decade, and you can see the quality by the good seals and even the dome light still works. But if you do open this one up to the world, it's nice to see the rear seat one in durable vinyl. The front buckets not only have high-back comfort and comfy velour but also there's a cup holder center console in-between. This was built in the era where Chevy loaded some of its pickups and SUVs with the best features. So you have cruise control, power windows, power locks, and a tilt steering column on the driver-oriented dash. And you'll find the right upgrades, like an AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input, and the factory air conditioning has even been converted to R134a refrigerant.

Under the hood is a 305 cubic-inch V8. Topped with a four-barrel carburetor, this is believed to be original to the Blazer. It has the clean look of a well-respected setup, and the way it fires up and runs with gusto reaffirms its strong status. In fact, this one is all about fitting into any/every day. The four-speed automatic transmission has overdrive for easy highway cruising, and the two-speed 4x4 transfer case is nice for when the pavement ends. Plus, power steering, power brakes, and front discs are great for all trips near or far.

Complete with owner's manual, this is the distinct two-tone K5 Blazer that's already done just the way you want it. So don't miss this deal. Call now!
