Vehicle Description
This 1976 Chevrolet K5 Blazer has been restored with a stroker V8
and beefy suspension components. But you can also see this has a
sleekness that looks good rolling through town, too. So as you dig
into the full package, you're going to discover a 4x4 with the
right investment in power, size, and details to make for a vintage
4x4 that's both capable and cool.
The tall stance, Mickey Thompson Baja wheels, tow hitch, and steel
bumper with integrated Warn winch tell you this Blazer can blaze
its own trails... and look good doing it. Rosedale Red is the
factory color, and this one has the kind of shine that gives this
classic hue plenty of modern appeal. In fact, we're told this
Blazer was given a full frame-off restoration about 10 years ago.
The investment is said to include new body components, like the
floor pans, rockers, door shells, and tailgate. The aim of that
work was to create quite a capable machine. So this one isn't one
of those concours 4x4. It has seen some action, because after all,
your plans don't include the pavement either. But the gloss of the
finish and the fit of the well-creased body panels tell the story
of proper respect.
We love this generation Blazer because you can still remove the
hardtop for a convertible-like experience. And the red interior
continues a similar rugged yet stylish theme we see on the
exterior. The front seats are finished in a comfy red velour, so
you don't have to worry about hopping in on sunny days when you're
wearing shorts. And the rear bench is durable vinyl that can be out
in the elements. The full liner paint floor is another durable
feature when this one is open to the world. The clean dash, center
console, bright gauge panel, updated steering wheel, and tilt
column are all part of good investments that make this one
especially nice from the driver's seat.
Under the hood is what makes this Blazer so great. The motor is a
professionally-built 383 cubic-inch stroker V8. It includes
upgrades like a JET Streetmaster enhanced 750 Quadrajet carb, an
Edelbrock intake, Stage 8 fasteners, and Dynatech ceramic-coated
headers. This enhanced V8 feeds a rebuilt three-speed automatic
transmission, and the transfer case feeds new driveshafts. The
axles are built for good low-end power to get you moving from a
standstill, even in the muck. The front diff is a PowerTrax Lock
Right locker, the rear is an Eaton limited-slip unit, and they both
are running 4.56 gears. There's also a Rough Country 4" lift,
Off-Road Design 1" Zero Rate springs, Warn front locking hubs, and
Bilstein shocks. It's a total package that delivers added power and
4x4 prowess. But even if you just feel like taking up a grassy spot
at cars & coffee, this Blazer has power steering, steering
stabilizers, power brakes, and front discs to make getting through
town easier.
The right investments to lead the charge up a hill. But the way it
looks also means it doesn't even have to leave your driveway to
gain admiration. Call today!!!
