classic vintage chrome chevy k5 blazer 350 v8 auto transmission black suv

Description

This 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer CST reaped all the benefits of a recent, very thorough restoration, leaving it with an all new interior, magnetic glossy paint draped over its exterior and a drivetrain that's in rock-solid condition. If you're searching for a classic SUV that retains every drop of its original appeal - with just a touch of customization - and is ready for action without delay, this is definitely one to check out. Chevy's K5s... from this era were such appealing, rugged looking workhorses and this one, decked out in jet black, represents the first generation of the model nicely. You can see at first glance that it conveys a truck-like able-bodiedness and penchant for action that comes as no accident - the K5 was designed essentially as a short-wheel-based truck with convertible like versatility. The eye-catching paint was applied not long ago and has a strong shine. The added steel cowl hood conveys a subtle sense of aftermarket attention without taking it too far and, as you take a lap around the car, you're bound to notice the fresh condition of its exterior fittings - the bumpers, as well as the front grille and side mirrors, were all recently replaced and really pop against such a dark backdrop. The removable hardtop on this Blazer is in great condition. Recently refinished, it's looking its best and seals nicely. Climb in and you'll be surrounded by an interior that's been refurbished from scratch and it's really looking sharp. You're not likely to find any component that hasn't been replaced entirely - the low backed front buckets, the center console they straddle as well as the bench seat in back are all new, as are the door panels to each side of them. Very much in keeping with the K5 Blazer's rugged heritage, the floor has been lined with protective material and, in addition to its added functionality, it also combines with the fresh upholstery and rubber floor mats up front to create a winning look. Just inside the liftgate, there's some welcome storage space that's also well-protected by the added coating. The dash area is another beneficiary of this Chevy's thorough restoration. Its black steel surfaces are as smooth as can be and it features an all new dash pad, as well as a new gauge cluster. An AM/FM/CD stands by to handle your audio needs. In addition to its undeniably sharp appearance, this Blazer is one road-ready SUV, so there'll be no issues getting behind the wheel and enjoying yourself right away. The 350 cubic inch V8 beneath its cowl hood is armed with an Edelbrock 4-barrel carb, aftermarket headers and an HEI ignition system to maximize available spark. Just like all the other work performed on this classic, the detailing inside the compartment is top notch, so the engine looks as good as it runs as it sits between a pair of squeaky clean inner fenders, surrounded by all new belts and hoses. It pairs with a 3-speed automatic TH350 transmission that's in matching condition, while featured 4-wheel drive surefootedness engages without a hitch. Recently replaced power brakes and smooth power steering provide low effort stops and maneuverability, and all of this Chevy's body bushings have also been updated for a nice quiet ride on its set of new 15" Rally wheels sporting equally new 33" all-terrain tires. You don't often see classic SUVs as thoroughly and tastefully restored as this 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer CST, and it really has to be seen to be fully appreciated. Call today!
