Description of 1972 Chevrolet Blazer K5 4x4 |
With a big block V8 power, upgraded 4x4 prowess, and convertible appeal, this 1972 Chevrolet Blazer K5 is the best of everything in one cool vintage package. For many full-size Blazer fans, this is the one. 1972 was the final year for the first-generation full-convertible SUV. And this was given a recent respray within the last few years of Chevy's best paint ever: Hugger Orange. It's a bold and intimidating color that works well for both muscle cars and beefy trucks... and this one certainly fits with that image. After all, the lifted stance is not only for better go-anywhere ability, but also it's pure intimidation when even just standing still. And while the paint adds to this Blazer's aggressiveness, it also adds to its style. The glossy clearcoat finish shows off the well-formed lines of the sheetmetal, and it also has a nice luster to go with the big chrome front bumper. The black folding roof even looks good in place by providing a timelessly attractive contrast. Since this was meant to be open to the world, the well-done color theme continues inside. There's a nice and dark look on newer pieces like the door panels and dash pad. And we know you especially took note of the seats. Houndstooth cloth inserts are another stylish classic Chevy icon. While there is plenty of style, you'll also appreciate functional upgrades like the full roll bar and rugged liner paint on the floor. The dash has an absolutely classic look with the original Delco AM radio still there for display, and this was even born an A/C truck (some key components remain but it will need added pieces and servicing to return the full function.) Plus, you have the right driver-oriented features, like a wood-rimmed sports steering wheel, front bucket seats, and a cup holder center console. When you lift the hood, you're going to love that this big engine bay is filled with big block power. This 454 cubic-inch V8 that has even been upgraded for performance with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor and Edelbrock intake. Plus, you have good supporting components like newer hoses and an electronic ignition. This is built for the off-road with a two-speed 4x4 transfer case, Pro Comp shocks, about half a foot in suspension lift, and Goodyear Wrangler MTR tires. But even when you just feel like rolling thought town, you've got nice anytime driving features like power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a robust TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. A lifted full-size Blazer is always going to have an intimidating attitude, but this one also has some undeniable style, too. So if you like function and flair in convertible Blazer, don't miss this big orange 4x4. Call today!!! |
