1971 Chevrolet Blazer

Built for almost 22 years, the K5 Blazer was the smallest full size SUV version that GM offered. Although SUV was not really a thing then so they really stood out and were actually quite large compared to todays SUV's.

The Blazer had removable tops and were offered with four power plant choices ranging from a small strait six cylinder to the 350 cubic inch V8. And all of these produced different power depending on the year and technology. The earlier models offered a automatic transmission or a manual with three or 4 speeds.

These early model K5's have become very sought after in both the two and four wheel drive variants. This particular beauty had a frame on restoration in 2011 by Rick Hendrick Racing. It has always been a southern vehicle. The entire drivetrain rebuilt with a 350 cubic inch crate motor by GM and 4:11 gears. The suspension is also all new with a 6” lift and 35” tires. The wheels have been professionally balanced using beads. A four core aluminum radiator with power steering and brakes make this a joy to drive.

This K5 was re-painted in its original color of Orange, the front seats have been reupholstered. The rear bench has been changed to a custom seat with 5-point harnesses for safety. It comes with the insulated hard top as well as the bimini soft top . Everything is in working order and the stereo has been upgraded as well. This Blazer starts, sounds and drives really cool and gets all the looks.
