Vehicle Description
This custom 1971 Chevrolet K5 Blazer known as "Moab" is powered by
a modified GEN IV LS3 engine paired with a GM Connect-and-Cruise
4LE automatic overdrive transmission featuring a 2,600-rpm stall
converter and auxiliary transmission cooler. The original NP-205
transfer case remains, while the front and rear axles have been
upgraded with 4.11 Eaton posi-traction units and custom-painted
B&M differential covers with large oil capacities. The
drivetrain enhancements include a hand-built dual 3-inch
stainless-steel mandrel-bent exhaust system, Patriot Tight Tuck
Ceramic headers, a F.A.S.T. LSXR 102M intake manifold, billet fuel
rails, 50 lb/hr Precision-Flow fuel injectors, a Granatelli
Motorsports 103mm throttle body, MSD Coil Blasters, Comp Cams
Hi-Torque roller cam and Clayton Machine Works coil covers. The
body retains 95% of its original sheet metal, stripped and
epoxy-primed before being finished with a Dupont basecoat and
clearcoat. The underside is coated with U-Pol Raptor for chip
resistance and sound-deadening. The frame, supports, inner fenders,
skid plates and fuel tank cover are powder-coated for added
durability. Additional exterior features include a custom-painted
front grille with black inserts, LED lighting, a front bumper light
bar, 1970s-style Cibie auxiliary off-road lights and a rear
tailgate hatch fitted with gas struts. Riding on one-of-a-kind
17-inch EOVD Industries billet aluminum wheels designed to
replicate the period-correct GM 10-hole Rally Sport wheels, this
Blazer is fitted with 35-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain K2 tires with
white lettering. The suspension system includes 4-inch lift
soft-ride springs, Fox 2.0 shock absorbers with remote reservoirs
and a BDS dual-opposing Fox steering stabilizer. The braking system
features Wilwood red calipers, dimpled and slotted rotors, and
stainless-steel brake lines. Steering enhancements include a
Hydratech Braking Systems Hydroboost setup, PSC components, a
quick-ratio steering gearbox and a 3-inch drop pitman arm for
improved steering linkage geometry. Inside, the showroom-quality
interior retains a period-correct aesthetic with upgraded
upholstery, carpet and weatherstripping. A 2016 Silverado ebony
black leather jump-seat console with USB charging is installed,
housing a Blaupunkt 1500-watt amplifier, a Blaupunkt 7-band
equalizer and period-correct Pioneer speakers. The RetroSound
stereo head unit supports Bluetooth, MP3 and auxiliary input. The
dashboard features Dakota Digital VHX gauges, and the steering
wheel selection includes two custom Momo Racing three-spoke leather
wheels, one engraved with "Moab 4x4." Additional upgrades include
power windows with period-correct GM-type switches, a Detroit Speed
multi-speed windshield wiper motor, a chrome transfer case shifter
and an NOS Hickey Enterprises shifter handle. Built to be driven,
"Moab" blends classic Chevrolet 4x4 heritage with modern
performance and comfort upgrades, making it equally suited for
off-road adventures or show displays. ** PREVIEW
