Description:


*** 1972 Chevy K5 Blazer - 4x4 Convertible Fun!!! ***
A Little History
I purchased this Blazer in July 2012 from a gentleman in Arkansas who owned the vehicle since the early 70'sPrevious owner stated that he drove the truck only occasionally and only had the top off of it twiceAlong with the Blazer came a folder of receipts/paperwork - including the
ORIGINAL PROTECT-O-PLATE and warranty card!
In the folder is also the original new vehicle inspection document dated 11/26/71He kept it in near-stock condition, with a few exceptions:5.7L GM crate motor added in 1996Electric fuel pumpDual exhaust (I thought this was factory)Underdash ACSteering wheel from a late 80's BlazerAt some point he painted it the blue you see now from the original whiteVehicle had 85, 544 miles on it when I received itThis K5 was very well-cared for - and it shows
Since I've Owned It: 2012 - Today
Vehicle now has just over 90, 000 milesUpdates include:New fuel pumpNew alternatorNew rear drum brakesNew Rancho RS9000LX shocks all aroundNew 33 BF Goodrich All Terrain tires12-bolt 3.73 Posi rear gearingNew stereo hidden in the center console, with remote:HD Alpine head unit (mp3, bluetooth, sirius xm, pandora...even CD)JL Audio 700W 5 channel amp hidden in box under center console, along with a 10 JL Audio subwooferJL Audio 6x9 3-way speakers mounted behind the seatsRoll barRemoved all carpeting - replaced with new, weather-proof spray-in linerNOTE: Vehicle does not have the rear bench seat. It didn't come with it when I purchased it in 2012 - not sure if it ever had one or not.
Condition
Mechanically excellent - starts up, shifts smoothly, runs as it shouldCosmetically in very good condition; main issues (as listed in the condition details section):Paint:Chips where the doors meet the frame when closedChips between hood and windshieldChips around the E and the V on the CHEVROLET across the tailgateScuffs where the big, heavy fiberglass top rests on the sides of the bedCracks in the back of the driver's seatReverse light on driver's side is crackedI have the top - it's suspended via a pulley system in my garage. I only put it back on when I had the roll bar made - to make sure the top fits with the roll bar in place. It's in great shape - just one minor chip in it.
Overall - this K5 is in very, very good shape. I drive it on nice days - and drive it as often as I can. It definitely turns heads and gets lots of attention - since these seem to be more rare than the Ford Bronco (which many people confuse this with, when they stop you!). It is a total blast!
Why am I selling it?
I love this Blazer - and would love to keep it. But, I have my eye on a 1972 Chevelle SS convertible. And while I'd like to keep them both - finding storage for multiple cars is a pain. And, I have a feeling this one would be ignored in place of the Chevelle, so I want to find it a nice home with someone who will appreciate it as much as I do.
I welcome inspections of the vehicle and encourage you to have one done if you intend to bid/buy. And I welcome any questions.
*** VEHICLE SOLD AS IS - RETURNS NOT ACCEPTED ***
Thanks - and happy bidding!
