For Sale: 1988 Chevrolet Blazer in Mesa, Arizona

This 1988 Chevrolet Blazer K5 4x4 Silverado is attractive because the exterior shows a little extra flair, and the interior gives you plenty of comfort, including A/C. But what really makes this an awesome classic SUV is the upgrade to a 440+ horsepower stroker V8 that gives you more muscle for the streets and trail.

The white paint has a modern luster and deep gloss that lets the sunlight show off the straight body panels and even gaps. Plus, the blue pinstripes are perfectly placed to draw added attention to the crisp crease of the sheet metal. The color-matched removable hardtop is also a nice detail to go with the premium presentation. And as a premium Silverado, that's clean and bright trim to go with the chrome bumpers. But as you look over the radiant style, it also starts to tell you about this Chevy's power. The bright billet grille and large bumper overriders give a more aggressive tone, and so do the large polished exhaust tips. And the bright Outlaw II-style alloys draw added attention to the tall 4x4 stance.

The blue pinstripe is a preview of the full blue interior. It has a tasteful look with a condition that reminds you how much care and investment goes into a well-presented classic. It's loaded with all the best features, including power windows, power locks, cruise control, an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with Bluetooth, and cold-blowing air conditioning. This is built to be long-haul comfortable for the driver, and so you have a high-back bucket seat, comfy velour upholstery, a center console, a tilt steering column, and a wraparound gauge panel. Behind you is plenty of room for people and cargo. There's even a proper trailer hitch in case you need to carry more or tow a boat.

The engine bay has a clean and tidy presentation that shows this is quite a fresh installation. This is a 383 cubic-inch stroker motor V8 from the masters at BluePrint. It was built right with aluminum Heads, an aluminum intake, and topped with a Holley four-barrel carburetor. Plus, the long tube headers add power while contributing to the rumble of the dual exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers. The full power package peaks at 446 horsepower, and we have the dyno sheet to prove it! This was done in 2019, and so while we don't know if the odometer reflects the actual mileage, you do know you have a fresh and powerful heart. There are even the right supporting components, like an HEI ignition and a big aluminum radiator. The two-speed 4x4 transfer case and BF Goodrich All-Terrain tires make this a capable off-roader. But the power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a four-speed automatic transmission is also right for those who want a distinct and powerful way to go open-top cruising.

The sale comes complete with build receipts and a dyno sheet. This K5 Blazer is the cool classic 4x4 that's built to be impressive on or off-road. So if you want power and poise, call today!
