Vehicle Description
Did you enter the Baja 1000 but forget to prep a vehicle? Want to
be apocalypse ready? Or are you just a big fan of Transformers: The
Last Knight? Well, this 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer can have you
covered for it all! With a beefy 4x4 stance, serious steel
enhancements, four-wheel disc brakes, and an awesome fuel-injected
LS3 upgrade, you're looking at one terrific vintage/custom 4x4 that
was built to quickly cover all terrains.
For many full-size Blazer fans, this is the one. The first-gen
full-size Blazer was built to be a full open-top experience. But
the real distinction of this one is its upgraded machismo with
genuine reinforcing components. The lifted stance instantly signals
this can take on any terrain, and that's just the beginning. You
have a full custom cage with matching tubular steel for the other
custom pieces, such as the doors, tailgate rack, and side mounts.
And all that steel up front looks like it could push Optimus Prime
out of the way. And speaking of the front, behind the bar lurks
enough LED lights to turn night into day. And we love the details,
like the paint. It's an aged copper that looks like tarnished
precious metal more than a patina. All the custom exterior mounts
hold useful pieces like an ax, a shovel, a high-lift jack, and duel
jugs. And the custom hood seems to mix GM's iconic raised cowl and
stinger designs for a mean look that lets you know there's
something special within (more on that in a moment.)
Inside you can see more of how this one is ready for serious
off-road business. It starts with the seats. The fronts are
well-bolstered leather buckets designed to keep you planted on an
uneven trail. The rear is a Corbeau suspension unit with seatbelts.
This is designed for outdoor life with a liner paint inner tub,
rugged rubber floors, and a locking ammo box in the rear to keep
things secure. There's also a full-size spare, dual fire
extinguishers, and another ax all mounted inside, so this one is
ready for duty on day one. Just like the exterior, you can tell
there was a lot of thought put into the details. You can have
canvas panels in the doors and a full canvas top for better weather
protection. The radio looks vintage, but it's a modern AM/FM
digital tuner with upgraded speakers. And the driver's seat is a
proper command position with a full set of upgraded readouts -
including a large speedo and tach.
Because this Blazer has a powerful style, you'll love lifting the
hood to see quite a powerful motor. This is a 6.2-liter
fuel-injected LS3 motor. Oh yes, it's the kind of V8 that gave more
modern Camaros and Corvettes an edge on the streets, so it knows
how to move this classic Blazer with authority. And you'll even
spot all sorts of nice additions, like an aluminum radiator with
electric fans, an Optima red top battery, and headers feeding the
dual exhaust. It's a strong package ideal for a ton of go-anywhere
fun. And that's exactly what this Blazer was built for. After all,
you not only have a two-speed 4x4 transfer case, but also Bilstein
shocks, plenty of suspension lift, and meaty Maxxis Trepador tires.
Plus, there's a three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
and Wilwood four-wheel power disc brakes when you just want in-town
fun, too.
There are a lot of really cool details to this custom K5. But what
we like best is its overall presentation. This was built to look
like a movie vehicle, but the overall execution is no prop. This
has stout construction and powerful upgrades that let you know it
flexes waaaay more than just glamour muscles. That's what makes
something this distinct so irresistible. Call now!
