It's got the rugged good looks of a classic SUV, but with a strong running condition you don't often find in its counterparts of the era. Piloting this 1991 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is no "cross your fingers and hope for the best" exercise - it's very much ready to drive - and with its interior in good shape and combining with 4-wheel drive surefootedness, this is one seriously versatile ride. The K5 Blazers are a sturdy... looking bunch. Broad and brawny, with generously sized wheel wells capable of accommodating even jumbo-sized rubber with plenty of clearance, they're more than mere grocery-getters - though this '91 is plenty well-suited for everyday driving conditions, it'll thrive in more rugged territory. It's looking good in its red paint - a bright shade that looks all the more vital by the fresh exterior fittings it carries. Very clean looking bumpers sit both fore and aft, the side mirrors appear to have been recently installed and the Blazer emblems on its front fenders, as well as the lettering on its tailgate in back, look particularly sharp. The tinted glass surrounding the cabin is nice and clear and the windshield is surrounded by a fresh-looking rubber seal. The removable hard top is a great feature - sitting in place, its clean condition and contrasting black color really add to this Blazer's well-kept appearance, while removing it adds another dimension - converting this versatile vehicle into a semi-open air all-terrain cruiser. The interior is in good condition while retaining a sort of spartan quality that's very much in keeping with this sturdy SUV's identity. You won't find any fancy aftermarket touches on display, but the elements inside have received enough attention to bring them through the years in good form. Both the front buckets and rear bench seat have plenty of miles left in them and have retained their shapes well to provide plenty of comfort on the road, and a nicely sized center console sits up front to offer plenty of interior storage space. There shouldn't be any issues in getting the temperature just right inside - the air conditioning system is blowing cold and hard. You'll find the original Chevy steering wheel still sitting in place, while just beyond it the dash area also retains its factory condition and displays a set of clear-looking gauges in its instrument cluster, which itself doesn't show any major issues but could use a little attention to freshen it up. A CD player sits in place to very capably fill the interior with sound via an array of speakers that includes a pair of subwoofers mounted in back alongside a pair of amps. With a fuel injected 5.7 liter V8 sitting under the hood, this truck has plenty of power to handle whatever comes its way. The engine is running strong and smooth and pairs with a 4-speed automatic 700r4 transmission to make up a very capable drivetrain. While engaging 4-wheel drive in so many vintage trucks is often a laborious process, here the feature is in good form - with a flick of the lever sitting within easy reach, it engages seamlessly for those times when the terrain beyond the asphalt beckons. Yet with power steering and power brakes on board, this classic Chevy also has the road manner suited for everyday driving. Bring it up to cruising speed, then step down on the brake pedal and it tracks straight ahead on its 15" steel wheels that feature OxGord center caps and are wrapped with BF Goodrich Rugged Terrain T/A radials. This 1991 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is truly a vehicle for all seasons. Call today!
