Vehicle Description
It's time to make everyone say "wow" wherever you go. This 1981
Chevrolet K5 Blazer takes the style we love about the classic
open-top utility vehicle, and then gives it a full street machine
makeover. You have a custom interior, small block V8, four-wheel
disc brakes, and a seriously slick style. So you know that this is
a true one-of-a-kind.
This is not the Blazer for the wilderness. The slick finish on the
is part of a restoration/transformation that was only completed
about 10k miles ago. The black paint is a modern application with a
huge shine that showcases the full custom style. This generation
Blazer reveled in its full-size stature with well-creased and
intimidating lines. And the dark and glossy nature of the paint
serves to show off both the crisp sheet metal and how well it all
fits together. Sleekness was a priority so they deleted the trim,
rolled the bumpers, and shaved the door handles. The 18-inch Torq
Thrust wheels have a sports car nature, especially when the
suspension is lowered way down so they can fully fill the wheel
wells. And the full billet treatment front end and rear pan
perfectly fits into this custom's sleek and intimidating style.
This was born with a half roof, but its generation was once a full
convertible, so the always-open roadster style looks quite correct.
Because this is a full custom topless roadster, they took the time
to shave inches out of the door line and give it a smooth top for a
style that makes this look as good as factory. Of course, Chevrolet
never gave you flame-kissed door panels on the inside. But while
the interior has plenty of flair, this one likes to be useful
overall. For example, the upgraded front bucket seats have a
body-hugging style, and they are also done in a durable vinyl for
the outdoor lifestyle. You may want to upgrade some details if
you're looking for a full show truck, but really, this one is just
built for easy fun. The useful back seat, large cargo area, wide
tailgate, and AM/FM/CD stereo make this a terrific one for loading
up everyone and finding a beach. The flame steering wheel goes with
the panels, and it's on a tilt column. And the '59 Chevy dash is a
great way to bring in a custom classic element while still being
able to add crisp AutoMeter Phantom gauges.
Under the hood is quite a stylish setup with the custom red block,
black valve covers, and matching flame-etched air grabber. And
there's plenty of polish on the battery box, inner fenders, and
more. This also has the unmistakable look of proper Chevy V8 power.
This hardy 350 cubic-inch small block has been upgraded with an
Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, an Edelbrock aluminum intake, and
an H-pipe dual exhaust. As you look underneath, the red-painted
chassis is a nice custom touch. It's also a reminder that riding on
a truck frame gives this a robust backbone even when converted into
a roadster. And it's easy to enjoy this Blazer thanks to features
like the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and
upgrade to four-wheel power disc brakes.
This is a thoughtfully done build that's out to get attention. So
if you love a distinct V8 custom roadster, don't let this big one
slip away. Call today!!!
