1978 Chevrolet Blazer

Description

You'd expect to pay handsomely for a restored 1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer. But this affordable price is for real, and the condition of this 4x4 is even better than the pictures can show.

There are a lot less of these round headlight K5s running around these days. The classic Chevy front end really gives this one extra distinction. Of course, what's really grabbing everyone's attention is the paint. The black was part of the investment in a quality restoration. The modern application has a high gloss and shine that makes you believe they make black mirrors. And since no imperfections can hide from a finish like this, the flat sheetmetal and its well-creased lines are highlighting a life well lived. Even the chrome bumpers have a mirror-like quality. But as good as this one looks, it also still knows how to get down to business. Features like the trailer hitch and tall 4x4 prowess let you know this full-size Blazer can work or play just as hard as you can.

Arguably, there's nothing better on a black exterior than a red interior. This is especially true since the restoration heavily focused on the interior. You get cushy bucket seats up front, carpeting, door panels, and dash pad are all restored to have a fresh and deep red appearance. We know you're going to love showing this off, and you can do more of it by removing the hard top and getting the full open-air pickup experience. And since the R134a air conditioning is blowing cold, you can do it all summer long! While those will likely be your favorite features, they are far from the only upgrades in this loaded machine. Also, the full gauge panel and side trim have been finished in real wood.

Under the hood is Chevy's famous 350 cubic-inch V8. Topped with a Quadrajet four-barrel carburetor, this quite correct-looking motor produces the right power for the street or trail. That is great in a go-anywhere 4x4 that has a two-speed transfer case for the best off-road performance. The V8 is legendary for being quite adaptable, but right now this powerplant appears charmingly quite factory correct. That also means it has led a good life, and that's reflected in how it fires up readily and idles smoothly. And while you might like its ability to attack the trail, this is also an easy cruiser thanks to a TH350 three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, front disc brakes, and Michelin LXT tires on newer Eagle Alloy wheels.

This Blazer is so well presented, we even believe the 45,597 on the odometer could be actual. It has been given all the right investments to be your new cherished classic off-road machine. But you're not the only one who recognizes a good deal, so don't miss out. Call today!!!
