$26,995

Stock #220HOU
Up for sale in the Houston showroom is one awesome 4x4, The 1970 Chevrolet K5 Blazer! The K5 Blazer was the coolest full size SUV version of the Chevrolet utility family. Introduced to the Chevrolet line in 1969, the full-size Blazer was replaced in 1995 by the Chevrolet Tahoe. In 1970, GMC introduced its own model of the truck, called the Jimmy, which discontinued in 1993 and replaced by the GMC Yukon. Both were based on the short wheelbase trucks and were available with either rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. This one just so happens to be 4 wheel drive. 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 the other trucks. The Blazer for sale quickly became popular. For the first time, it married the off-road capabilities of the Scout with the "luxury" features like air conditioning and automatic transmissions routinely available on pickup trucks. By 1970, the Blazer was already outselling both of its older rivals. Ford, Dodge, and even Jeep would counter with similar shortened pickups, with the Dodge Ramcharger and Jeep Cherokee. It also came as a convertible. Tons of engine options were available for these trucks, this one just so happens to be mated with its original numbers matching inline 6 cylinder. Automatics were popular but the true off roader lives by the gear they choose, so a 3 speed manual transmission is in this one. A 3 body lift makes the 33 off road tires fill out the wheel wells nicely and the matched carpeting in the rear let you know this was built for two reasons, show and off-road! Options on this gorgeously restored 1970 K5 Blazer for sale include: am/fm radio, manual convertible top, power brakes, vinyl seats, seat belts, numbers are matching and rally wheels wrapped in performance off road radial tires.
