Vehicle Description
This 1985 Chevrolet Blazer K5 has exceptionally low mileage, an
overdrive transmission, and a great color combo. So that makes for
a nice package when looking for one of the coolest vintage SUVs
around. And if you love serious torque to go with your 4x4 style,
then you're going to love to see that this is a rare diesel
example!
With such low mileage, you're going to see some terrific
preservation all over this Blazer. For example, the Apple Red paint
shows all signs of being the factory application, and it continues
to have an impressive shine four decades later. This also helps to
show off the excellent sheet metal and gaps on this well-respected
SUV. This is a premium Silverado trim with bright chrome bumpers,
premium side trim, and bright Rally wheels. Plus, while the hardtop
is removable on these Blazers, it looks particularly attractive
here. The way the bright white and vibrant red go together gives
this the all-American appeal of a Coca-Cola bottle. But as good as
this looks, you know a diesel SUV like this likes to stay useful.
You see it in everything from the tall 4x4 prowess to the proper
trailer hitch.
Inside is more of the time capsule preservation done in a tasteful
red. This has the features you're going to like. The seats are
finished in a comfy velour, which means people will sit down in the
rear without hesitation even when this one is open to the world.
And your front buckets not only have high-back comfort, but also
there's a cup holder center console in-between. This was built in
the era when Chevy loaded some of its pickups and SUVs with the
best features. So you have cruise control, a Delco AM/FM/cassette
stereo, a tilt steering column on the driver-oriented dash, and
provisions for factory air conditioning (it will need servicing to
blow cold again.)
Under the hood is the Detroit Diesel 6.2-liter engine. This is a
rare option for civilian Blazers, but it's robust enough that it
was the one the military used in its examples (it would even be
utilized for the later HMMWV/Hummer.) You'll proudly show off this
powerhouse because it's preserved just as nicely as the rest of
this exceptional Blazer. And you can also tell it has received the
right maintenance, right down to the dual Optima red top batteries.
The big torque of the diesel lets you climb mountains, and there's
a good set of all-terrain tires to dig deep into the trail. But you
don't need to take this pristine classic off-road to enjoy it.
Power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a four-speed
automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive makes it
easy to cruise to car shows near and far.
A unique Blazer like this also comes with terrific paperwork. It
includes the original window sticker, warranty card, and owner's
manual packet. This is an irresistible mix of time capsule quality
and serious diesel power. Call today!!!
