Vehicle Description
Introduced as a competitor to the legendary Ford Bronco and
venerable International Scout, Chevrolet's awesome K5 Blazer could
be considered the Camaro of SUVs - it didn't create the segment,
but it certainly set the standard! In fact, the Blazer was such a
success that Chrysler, the company every SUV manufacturer continues
to chase, ultimately created offerings like the Ramcharger and
original Jeep Cherokee as direct competition. Built on a solid
foundation of timeless utility and proven performance, this
handsome Blazer is a first-rate exercise in old school style and
street rod swagger. And if you're looking for a super cool cruiser
that can be enjoyed for years to come, it's the classic of your
dreams!
BODACIOUS BOX
Now, when it comes to classics, few vehicles have aged better than
1970s Chevrolets. And that goes double for something as undeniably
immutable as a storied SUV. This old school Blazer is a solid
half-cab ute that's been subjected to great maintenance and acute
restoration throughout its 45-year existence. Paint is delightfully
retro, with chic Seamist Green pigment correctly caging glossy
White pigment in Chevy's iconic two-tone scheme. The truck's shaved
profile stays robust thanks to a removable hardtop. And niceties
like polished bumpers, bright mirrors and simple factory door
handles are highlighted by cool details like tinted glass, a roll
down rear window and $2,500 worth of fresh gold trim.
DROPPED DRIVE
Toss this K5's broad hood and you'll find 350 cubic inches of
reliable Chevy small block that supplements proven factory
internals with long headers, hot HEI ignition and a modern
Edelbrock carburetor. Behind that Corporate Blue mill, a dressed
Turbo-Hydramatic 350 3-speed spins a tough 12-bolt axle. That
familiar powertrain pushes a decidedly factory chassis, which has
been lowered five inches up front and six inches out back thanks to
drop spindles, Belltech Nitro Drop shocks and Flip Kit springs.
Factory power steering makes parking easy and turns a cinch. Stops
come courtesy of power front disc and rear drum brakes. The
aforementioned headers feed aluminized pipes, which hang an
X-shaped crossover in front of rowdy Flowmaster mufflers. And at
the edges of the floor, handsome U.S. Mags Ramblers spin 245/40ZR20
Kumho Ecstas in front of 275/40ZR20 Kumho Ecstas.
AMPED RIDE
When you pop this Blazer's doors, you'll find an airy Buckskin
Custom Deluxe cockpit that offers a great contrast to the truck's
genial paint. A factory console splits factory buckets in front of
an elevated factory bench. A blocky dash is fashioned around modern
Alpine audio and factory air conditioning. That Bluetooth-capable
head unit, part of an $8K aftermarket system, bumps Kicker amps, a
duo of 12-inch Kicker subs and a quartet of professionally
installed speakers. Those speakers and subs are tucked behind
expertly modified side panels, which border clean carpet. And the
driver spins an unassuming Chevrolet steering wheel.
Looking for a unique cruiser that mixes solid restoration with
unmatched style and instant fun? Check out this cool Chevy! It's
fully sorted. It features proven small block power. And best of
all, it's retro-chic aesthetics are sure to cue smiles and inspire
