Earth MotorCars is proud to present this absolutely spectacular
1971 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, a completely custom-built, all-new
creation by Premier Street Rod of Lake Havasu City, Arizona.Built
using some of the finest components in the industry, this K5 is the
result of a collaboration with Roadster Shop and was engineered to
deliver modern supercharged performance, serious 4WD capability and
show-quality craftsmanshipall wrapped in the unmistakable lines of
one of Chevrolets most iconic trucks.And this isnt just a
showpiece. This Blazer was a Top 10 winner in the Off-Road category
at the 2024 SEMA Battle of the Builders and was featured in Classic
Truck Performance magazine.Under the hood is where things get
serious.Power comes from a 650-horsepower supercharged LT4 V8,
paired with GMs 8L90 8-speed automatic transmission. With
approximately 1,100 test miles, this Blazer has been built, sorted
and drivennot simply assembled to sit under show lights.The
foundation is a Roadster Shop Legend Series chassis featuring GM
factory independent front suspension with a GM front differential
and axle shafts, Fox adjustable coilovers, power rack-and-pinion
steering and a GM 12-bolt Positraction rear axle with 3.42 gears.
Deaver rear leaf springs and Fox shocks complete the suspension
package. The body is equally special. Rather than beginning with a
tired 50-plus-year-old shell, this build utilizes a new Premier
Street Rod all-steel Blazer body topped with a Premier double-wall
fiberglass hardtop. The combination is expertly finished in a
gorgeous custom two-tone PPG Light Blue and Silver that perfectly
complements the classic K5 design.Inside, the craftsmanship
continues with a stunning Ivory Gray high-end leather interior by
Velocity. Dakota Digital instrumentation brings modern precision to
the cockpit, while Vintage Air, a Flaming River tilt steering
column, Sparc Industries steering wheel and Lokar shifter combine
vintage style with modern comfort and functionality.BUILD
