Vehicle Description
1989 Chevrolet S10 Blazer
After a long period of use in referencing a larger truck-like
Chevrolet vehicle, the Blazer name was applied to a mid-sized
product in 1984 as a direct competitor against the Jeep Cherokee.
Since its inception as a midsize sport utility vehicle, the
Chevrolet Blazer was built on a ladder frame chassis shared with
the S-10 compact truck.
For consignment, a fully customized and hot rodded S-10 Blazer with
2,817 non verifiable miles as the title reads Mileage Exempt. This
truck could be considered a "trailblazer" with its unique good
looks, Ridler wheels, modern braking and tinted glass. Now built
for speed, with a fuel injected 5.3 liter LM7 V8 and 4L60E combo
under the hood, and a Posi rear axle, it will go fast in a straight
line or on a curved road, all the while looking like a 1 of a kind
example of the 1989 Blazer
Exterior
Let's start upfront, a very good place to start, where we see a
simplified egg crate ribbed grille, single flanking LED headlights
and a mirror finished bumper in chrome. A cowled hood, straight
steel fenders and doors with more deep red paint draws you in and
has you begging for more. Gaps are all well minded, and windows are
tinted. Custom side view mirrors are now hanging from both sides,
and the rear quarters now accommodate the polished lip 18-inch
Ridler 5 spoke wheels wrapped in the back with 245/50ZR18 rubber.
Meanwhile, up front we note more Ridler wheels and some 225/45ZR18
rubber. On top, the roof rack has been shaved off and it's just
miles of ribbed and smooth red steel. More smoked glass for the
rear gate setup with a Hurst badge and tall flanking factory tail
lights inserted into the ends of the rear fenders.
Interior
Talk about custom, this truck shouts it out with a swing of the
doors and we are met with retina searing red tweed mixed with black
plastic and gray tweed insert panels. These doors are definitely a
party going on and we haven't even gotten inside as of yet! Turning
our attention to the inside, which makes use of a gray tweed
peppered with colored speckles and red stripe inserts to emulate
the door panels. Now there is a party going on! A custom speckle
gray tweed panel dash now fronts the Grant GT 3 spoke rally style
steering wheel. Vintage style faux carbon fiber gauges occupy the
driver's field of vision, and in the center of the dash are the
factory heater/AC controls above the B&M shifter within a late
model black plastic console. A Pioneer digital flip out
AM/FM/Bluetooth radio is now inserted into the original space and
is surrounded by a near perfect red dash top. For the rear, a
speckle tweed gray and red rear bench is in and provides room for 2
of your friends. Side interior panels and the headliner are also
the red background with the gray and black colored speckle. Now the
party is really rollin'. Last one in the pool with a suit on is a
rotten egg!
Drivetrain
In keeping with the unique and go-fast theme, under the hood we
note a rebuilt and bored .020 over 5.3 liter LM7 V8 with aluminum
heads, a Lunati VDIS-272 camshaft, LS7 lifters, and a 92mm throttle
body. FiTech EFI handles the air and liquid dinosaur mix and a
B&M built 4L60E 4-speed automatic with a Hughes torque
converter is on back. The rear axle is a 1999 S10 10 bolt unit with
3.42 gears and RPO G80 Positraction. The installation is so
professional in appearance one could easily think this was a
factory job.
Undercarriage
A factory fuel tank hangs off the back underneath, and as we move
forward we note miles of black steel with only a few areas of
surface rust peeking through on the untreated components. Frame and
floor pans are structurally sound and providing the ride is an
independent coil spring suspension working with leaf springs in the
back. Dropping things 2" is the BellTech suspension kit that has
been installed for a lower meaner look. Power disc brakes are here
on the front and rear and also see are ceramic coated headers with
a FlowMaster exhaust system with electric cutouts for when you want
to be heard before you are seen, which will definitely get
attention when you get goosey with your boot.
Drive-Ability
In a word...fast and loud, but that was two words, and I
digress.... This custom S-10 Blazer smoked the test track and the
tires and worked all just swimmingly. All functions are going on as
planned, and it was an exciting test drive, which when finished,
left with a smile on my face. While Classic Auto Mall represents
that these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we
cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of
your purchase.
A party for your right foot, and your eyes in the interior speckled
tweed and use of materials. Great paint and wonderful rodded custom
looker and cooker. Pass the "dutchie" to the left hand side...Party
on Garth!
