Example (Please note: If you happen to be viewing this 1975
Chevrolet Blazer K5 on a website other than our Garage Kept Motors

website: Garage Kept Motors.) The K5 Chevy Blazer is the new hot
classic SUV - Hagerty, January 2019 In a 2020 retrospective, Motor
Trend commented on the Blazer's role in automotive history: Would
there have been a big-body SUV revolution without the K5 Blazer?
It's hard to see Jeep leading the way with the good (but
lower-volume) Grand Wagoneer and the Scout was never more than a
blip on the sport-utility radar for mainstream buyers. Not even
Ford had clued into the potential of pairing pickups and SUVs until
a brand with as much clout as Chevrolet took a chance on blazing a
trail with the K5. Markets change, and not all the pioneers who
start the journey will be there at the end, but the K5 Blazer gave
us a family-friendly, off-road-ready tow vehicle for just over two
decades. It helped usher in the era of the four-door full-sizers
that eventually took over the game. Offered here is a 1975
Chevrolet K5 Blazer in tan with woody trim (under a black top) over
tan. Purchased new at Michael Chevrolet in Morgantown, North
Carolina, the SUV has been beautifully refreshed while retaining
all the appeal of this classic model. The Blazer's odometer shows
29,628 miles. The exterior cream beige (code 50) paint is fresh and
without flaw: even application, excellent gloss, and no damage
whatsoever. The removable fiberglass top is finished in black and
is equally pristine. The prominent side trim panel features
woodgrain applique. (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.) The front, egg crate-style grille is
complete and undamaged, and the front (with overriders) and rear
chrome bumpers are virtually perfect. Cabin glass and lighting
lenses (including side-marker lights) are complete, clear, and
uncracked. Chrome body trim-including on wheel wells-is in
excellent condition across the truck; mirrors, door handles, and
headlight trim are likewise free of damage with only very light
patina. Emblems-including the K/5 Blazer front-fender emblems, gold
bowtie Chevrolet logo front-grille emblem (and adjacent 454 engine
badge), Cheyenne rear-fender emblems, and Chevrolet lettering on
the tailgate's brushed-metal trim-are all present and in as-new
condition. Even the Michael Chevrolet dealer-added tailgate badge
is still present. Cooper® Discovery RTX outline-white-letter
31x10.50 LT tires are mounted on factory steel wheels with chrome
trim rings, 4x4 center caps in the rear, and chrome caps in front.
The original side mirrors accompany the sale as well. The interior
of the upmarket Cheyenne model is in near-showroom condition.
Vertically pleated tan vinyl upholstery covers the foldable front
buckets as well as the removable rear bench seat. The vinyl seating
surface is fresh and free of wear, discoloration, or damage.
Undamaged light-brown trim also covers the cargo-area walls. Door
panels are tan with roll-up windows, chrome-trimmed woodgrain
panels, and storage pockets. The original bowtie-branded black
steering wheel (with column-mounted shift lever for the truck's
automatic transmission) frames the perfect-condition, 6-gauge
woodgrain instrument cluster. All gauge lenses are clear. The
padded dash is tan vinyl, with body-color-painted steel below.
Slide-lever controls for heating and air conditioning, the factory
AM-FM radio, and a woodgrain panel with
