For Sale at Auction: 1973 Chevrolet Blazer in Scottsdale, Arizona

This custom four-wheel-drive 1973 Chevrolet K5 Blazer underwent a professional comprehensive restoration and modification. It is powered by an upgraded GM Performance LSX 454ci crate engine with 627hp and 586 ft/lbs of torque mated to a 4L80E 4-speed automatic transmission. It features a JB Custom Fabrication twin-stick cable shift in a newly rebuilt NP205 transfer case supported by Dirty Dingo crossmembers, a DeWitts dual-fan LSX radiator, Mightymouse catch can system, Speed Engineering cold-air intake, ACDelco battery and professionally installed Painless 27-circuit GM wiring harness. An upgraded 25-gallon EFI fuel tank was frame-mounted in the semi-gloss black-finished factory frame, complementing the upgraded full-size Chevrolet 6-lug axle equipped with a Wilwood hydro-boost four-wheel disc brake conversion. This comprehensive four-wheel-drive drivetrain, complete with Warn locking hubs, has been meticulously reconstructed. The chassis features an appropriately sized 4-inch suspension lift complemented by Bilstein reservoir shocks, dual shock steering stabilizers, Borgeson 12.7:1 quick-ratio Street & Performance Series steering box, custom-made driveshafts and 17-inch Raceline wheels on era-appropriate white-lettered 35-inch BFGoodrich K02 tires. Under the hood, supported by billet hinges, the engine bay has a shaved firewall that exudes a high-quality finish. This example was discovered in Scottsdale, AZ, and retains all of its original body panels. The body was dismantled and brought down to bare metal through a heat-treated sandblasting process, followed by a professional coating of high-grade BASF epoxy and hand-sanding the R-M Toner black and white exterior finish. Available for only two years, this full-size square-body K5 retains the factory-optioned removable two-layer roadster hardtop. This hardtop features a satin toner black finish and a custom white and black two-toned interior, complete with LED interior lights and courtesy lamps. The custom TMI interior includes new front and rear sport seats with handcrafted plaid inserts, rear cargo panels and other matching trim pieces, a new RetroSound Bluetooth audio stereo and Rockford Fosgate sound system hidden within the interior panels, Dakota Digital gauges, Vintage Air climate-control system, as well as the all-digital HD rear view camera mirror. Power windows, a color-matched tilt-column and a Brothers' Custom steering wheel complete the combination of modern technology with retro looks and style.
