1972 Chevrolet Blazer K5
The Blazer was designed and marketed to compete with International Harvester Scout and the Ford Bronco. Both of these were originally aimed at the short Jeep CJ series, which were much smaller than other trucks. The great innovation of the Blazer was to simply offer a shortened pickup truck, which both increased interior space, and lowered the cost of production with a shared platform. The Blazer quickly became popular. For the first time, it married the off-road capabilities of the... Scout and Bronco with the "luxury" features like air conditioning and automatic transmissions routinely available on pickup trucks. By 1970, the Blazer was already outselling all of its older rivals. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this stunning 1972 K-5 Blazer for your consideration. This truck features a no expense spared restoration, with an estimated cost of over $80k. The original Blazer was a two owner truck and had less than 26k original miles on it. The truck was taken down to the bare frame and everything was replaced or rebuilt. Some of the extensive mods include a new repaint in Prowler Orange with Tuxedo Black accents and unique coachlines. The body is all steel and features a custom roll bar that mounts to the frame as well as all new glass and a custom bikini top. The interior features Mastercraft seats, Corbeau seat belts, tilt steering column, Kenwood stereo, rebuilt gauges, custom console, and a nitrogen tank.

It has a 11:1 compression ratio, Holley 750 carb, MSD ignition, +150hp Nitro kit, Be-Cool aluminum radiator, headers, custom 3in exhaust with ceramic FlowMaster mufflers, and an optima battery.
