Vehicle Description
A straight body, cool color combo, loaded interior, and plenty of
investment in a true 4x4 prowess all come together on this 1990
Chevrolet Blazer K5. And the enhanced fuel-injected V8 and rebuilt
overdrive transmission make this useful for the street or
trail.
The big wheels and tall stance is the definition of outdoor
elegance on the big Chevy's squared-off bodywork. Given the
capabilities of these trucks, no one would be surprised if this one
lived most of its life off-road... except its exceptional condition
tells us it has seen far less action. In fact, this one has really
been given the right solid investments. The two-tone Only Black and
Gunmetal Gray looks great, especially with the distinctive red
pinstripe to separate the colors. This was part of a professional
respray in 2014, and proper garage care even since then means this
one can look good for more than just its stance. And speaking of
that prowess, it's a terrific mix of style and substance. The
lifted suspension has bright Mickey Thompson wheels, and the chrome
push bar on the bumper also integrates a Warn 8000 winch. Add in
the wide towing mirrors, proper trailer hitch, and a wiring plug,
and you'll find this sharp-looking classic SUV to be more versatile
than some modern ones out there.
1990 was the second to last year for these vehicles, which means
this one has some of the most creature comforts of the nearly
20-year run. You recognize this the moment you feel the relaxing
high-back bucket seat. The plush velour cloth feels excellent on
these, and it's the same way on the rear seats and door panels. The
grippy steering wheel, tilt column, and factory center console mean
you'll love long trips behind the wheel. Plus, the power windows,
power locks, cruise control, upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with aux
input, and ice-cold R134a air conditioning keep you comfortable
everywhere from the interstates to the trail. But we really know
your true reason for loving a Blazer like this, is the idea that on
the right day, you can remove a few bolts and have a complete open
rear section for a very cool convertible pickup.
Under the hood is a fuel-injected version of Chevy's robust
fuel-injected V8. While it's unknown if the odometer reflects this
Blazer's full actual mileage, it also does not matter much. We're
told there have been some more recent solid investments in this
powerhouse. It includes the 350 cubic-inch V8 being rebuilt about
30k miles ago. It's said to have been bored .30 over, given large
injectors, and upgraded the camshaft. There's also an aluminum
radiator and headers feeding the dual exhaust. The 700R4 four-speed
automatic transmission is also said to have been rebuilt about 20k
miles ago and now has a mild shift kit. It makes for a robust and
powerful setup that works with the two-speed transfer case, Warn
locking front hubs, Bilstein 5100 shocks, and a Rough Country
six-inch lift for terrific 4x4 ability. You even have a Detroit
locker rear end, low gearing ratios, and BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain
tires to really dig into the rough stuff. But as much as this all
sounds like a great way to drive through the dirt, the overdrive
transmission, dual steering stabilizers, power steering, power
brakes, and front disc brakes make this a pleasant 4x4 for all
occasions.
This is a carefully maintained full-size Blazer that knows how to
look great no matter if it's at the boat ramp or cruising downtown.
