1983 K-5 BLAZER: SILVERADO Edition w/FACTORY A/C... AUTOMATIC and a 6.2 DIESEL.
I bought this ultra rare truck a couple years ago as a daily driver. It has proven itself completely and is totally dependable. This winter was one of the coldest in 50 years here in New England. I kept the heater block on a timer from 4-6 AM and it started EVERY SINGLE morning. This is an original mile (62, 000 mi) survivor truck. It began its life in colorado so this explains the lack of rust.
This Blazer has all its factory gauges, and am/fm/ radio and everything works great. The upgraded Silverado option makes it a luxury 4x4, instead of just rubber matts and vinyl seats. One of the more rare features includes factory air conditioning. I recently had it converted to more current R134 specs. It's very cold, having basically the same capacity to chill down a suburban and obviously with less volume it chills down pretty fast. Another super rare option was the Suburban 31 gallon fuel tank. There are many internet stories boasting about 23-25 MPG for this vehicle... (25 x 31= ~750 mile range). The sale will also include the original owners manual, 1st bill of sale, service parts ID plate with all the factory options as sold (see pics). The engine bay is very clean, it still has factory markings and stickers still in place under the hood. The paint is very nice, as is every piece of chrome and stainless. The 6.2 Detroit diesel V-8 engine runs strong with lots of low end torque. Top speed is about ~85 mph and it can cruise comfortably at about 70-75. The optional 4-speed auto transmission shifts smoothly, It was rebuilt in 2005. The brakes stop the truck quickly, evenly and securely. The emergency brake will keep the truck in place when parked on a hill.
The body is in very good to near excellent condition. The metal is clean and straight with no signs of damage. The rear tail gate panel has some dings but LMC has a replacement piece for $150 (see pics). The paint is smooth and has been wet sanded and polished. The chrome is in very nice condition overall, all the glass is in great shape, the rear glass is good. The raised white letter radials are probably 90% there. The entire driven line just had all its fluid replaced (rear-end, trans, transfer case and obviously the motor). All the mechanical components are in excellent original condition. Please contact me with any questions. I am going to be listing the vehicle locally, so I reserve the right to end this listing at any time. Pat 203-984-9002
