Classic Cars is extremely proud to offer this nicely restored 1977
GMC K5 Jimmy full-size, four-wheel drive SUV that hails from the
desert state of Arizona. This particular example was assembled in
Flint, Michigan and is equipped with a understood 350 CID V-8
engine under the hood now, mated to a three-speed automatic
transmission and a dual exhaust. Its new PPG blue/white base/clear
coat paint is in excellent condition, as is the new side chrome and
trim. The truck's glass sections are in similar shape, as are the
truck's lights, clear and crack-free. The body panels are all
straight, the truck rolls on new General Grabber AT2 tires mounted
on six-lug, eight-vent alloy wheels and the body is mounted on an
upgraded Rancho suspension lift kit. Beneath is a new dual-exhaust
system with turbo mufflers. The truck's bumpers and cargo bay are
in great shape, too. The Jimmy has the following driver assist
features, air conditioning, (missing compressor),power steering and
power brakes with front discs. Inside, the new blue vinyl and gray
cloth front buckets and rear bench seats are in excellent
condition. The new gray carpet is in good shape and the gray and
white headline is in great condition. The instrument panel is in
great overall shape with some patina. The wipers and fuel gauge are
inoperable. There's an aftermarket, small diameter, three-spoke
steering wheel. The door panels are in very good shape. The
mirrors, center console, shift lever and transfer case lever are in
corresponding good condition. Finishing off the interior is a Dual
XR 4115 MP3 and digital media receiver. In 1970,�GMC�introduced its
own model of the Blazer, called the�Jimmy. They were based on the
short-wheelbase (106 inches) trucks and available with either
rear-wheel or�four-wheel drive. The "Jimmy" name was chosen to
reflect the�GMmy sound in a similar manner in how�Jeep�was a
pronunciation of GP in the competing market. The K5 Blazer and
Jimmy had "full convertible" removable tops until 1975. In 1976, GM
introduced a half-cab design that was less leak-prone and slightly
safer in a rollover accident. These half-cabs are convertibles
starting a few inches behind the driver/passenger doors all the way
back to the tailgate. Although�rear-wheel drive�Blazers were
manufactured until 1982, the majority sold were�four-wheel drive.
Until 1975, the K5 had a removable convertible top. In 1976, a
half-cab design was introduced and used until 1991. The K5 Blazer
was available with 350 CID small block V-8. Between 1973 and 1980,
Blazers used the gear-driven part-time NP-205 transfer case (mostly
mated to the SM465 manual transmission and some TH350s) or the
chain-driven full-time NP-203 transfer case (mated to the TH350
automatic) and DANA-44 front/12-bolt rear axle combination through
1980. The second-generation K5 models incorporated the rear hatch
glass and tailgate into a single unit, which allowed the glass
panel to retract inside of the tailgate by use of a manual crank
mounted on the tailgate or an electric motor activated by a
key-operated switch on the tailgate and a dash-mounted switch. A
feature of the K5 tailgate was the safety switch connected to the
electric motor, which prevented the rear window from being raised
if the tailgate was unlatched. Competition to this Jimmy included
Chevrolet's K5 Blazer, Ford's Bronco, Dodge's Ramcharger,
International-Harvester's Scout II and Jeep's CJ series. This car
is currently located at our facility in St. Louis, Missouri.
Current mileage on the odometer shows 96,056 miles. It is sold as
is, where is, on a clean and clear Arizona mileage exempt title.
