Vehicle Description
1970 Chevrolet K5 Blazer CST (Please note: If you happen to be
viewing this 1970 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,
please go to our main website: Garage Kept Motors.) The K5 Chevy
Blazer is the new hot classic SUV -Hagerty, January 2019 Offered
here is a second-year, highly optioned Blazer in orange with a
white roof over black. Its superb condition and extremely low
mileage make it a standout, investment-grade Blazer. (The full list
of factory-optioned equipment-including power steering and air
conditioning--can be found in a photograph of the Blazer's build
sticker included in the gallery.) Outside, the factory correct
orange and white paint finish is perfectly smooth across all body
panels and displays consistent gloss. The look is handsome,
classic, and completely stock. The chrome grille, chrome front and
rear bumpers, and chrome body trim (including twin rectangular side
mirrors) is all in excellent, condition, free of damage. Body-side
and tailgate trim incorporates woodgrain. (To best assess the
quality of the paint and chrome finish, be sure to view the
close-up photographs of the car in the accompanying gallery.) Cabin
glass and lighting lenses are similarly in beautiful condition. The
white fiberglass cargo-area top (auxiliary roof in Chevrolet speak)
shows no wear or discoloration; it nicely complements the
bright-orange body paint. Badging is complete and the look is
entirely: stock--from the blue-bowtie hood emblem upfront to the
Chevrolet letters set in woodgrain trim on the tailgate, and
including fender emblems denoting the model and engine, separate
4-Wheel Drive front-fender emblems, and the Chevrolet lettering in
the grille. Wheels feature chrome trim rings and center caps (in
the rear displaying 4X4 identification, while the fronts are
adjustable Warn® manual-locking hubs). Stock 15-inch steel wheels
are mounted with Michelin LTX M/S outline-white-letter off-road
tires (with a full-size matching spare in the cargo area). Inside,
the Blazer's door trim and the dashboard are metal, painted in the
same orange color as the truck's exterior, reflecting its
pickup-truck lineage. The full instrumentation is set in a
chrome-trimmed black panel. Graphic markings on the gauges are
crisp; instrument needles are unfaded. An upgraded Realistic® audio
head unit is fitted in the factory-radio location (above the
slide-lever HVAC controls) with air-conditioning vents and a large
glove box completing the dash. The original, black,
blue-ÂÂbowtie-branded steering wheel is in place with the shift
lever for the automatic transmission mounted on the column. (The
four-wheel-drive transfer-case selector lever is floor-mounted.)
Seat upholstery on the front buckets and rear folding armchair
bench is black vinyl with a premium embossed pattern. Black cabin
carpeting extends through to the cargo area. The rear tailgate and
lift hatch operate flawlessly and exhibit the same high level of
finish and condition as seen across the entire truck. Under the
hood, the Chevrolet 350 cubic-inch V8 is entirely stock and free of
chrome or other shiny add-on trim. Surfaces are clean; the entire
engine bay is properly ordered. All components-including air
conditioning-are correctly mounted. Plumbing and wiring
organization and routing show how meticulously the Blazer has been
cared for over the years. Viewed from below, the condition of the
truck's chassis is similarly orderly, and clean. Factory-applied
identification and build tags remain in place, as do any number of
informational stickers. While the more than 150 high-definition
photographs and the short walk-around-and-startup video available
on the GarageKeptMotors website showcase this '70 Blazer in deta
