1971 Chevrolet Blazer Additional Info:

It's time to make everyone say "wow" wherever you go. This 1971 Chevrolet Blazer K5 takes the style we love about the classic convertible utility vehicle, and then gives it a full modern makeover, including a powerful big block 454 and five-speed manual. So you know that this is a true one-of-a-kind.This is not the Blazer for the outback woods. The slick respray on the straight body shows almost no signs of any rough life, and you probably wouldn't make it out of your parking spot without a crowd of admirers. The Fire Engine Red paint is a modern bold color with huge shine that showcases the well-defined and super straight bodywork. The custom pinstriping on the rear, rolled rear pan, and all the emblems expertly shaved just helps highlight this custom package. The removable white fiberglass roof pops against the red, and makes this convertible look just as desirable with the top on, because after all, it goes so well with those custom 20-inch solid wheels by the craftsmen at Mobsteel.When you do take the top off, you still get great a great coordinating package. That's thanks to the custom interior featuring white leather seating with cool red houndstooth inserts. This one was specially built to be an attention-grabbing cruiser right down to features like the AM/FM/CD/XM stereo with aux input, and the controls for the air bag suspension. But the houndstooth in the seat is more than just for a cool presentation. It is a reminder of some of the best performance Chevys ever built, and that's the feeling you get when you get into the driver's seat. You grab the Lecarra sports steering wheel, and just beyond that is a full set of Dakota Digital gauges. The large tach is especially important in this setup, because have you counted the gears on the shifter yet?The engine bay looks fantastic filled with big block power. This 454 cubic-inch V8 has a great presentation with the block, valve covers, and air grabber all in the iconic Chevy orange with the writing on the engine setting it off and matching the black painted engine bay. But once you get past the great appearance, you'll see the substance of go-fast goodies like the Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Weiand intake, and long tube headers that feed the rumbling dual exhaust. And you have complete control over the sound and fury of this massive V8 thanks to the five-speed manual transmission. But more than brute force, this is a thoughtful total build. For example, you have an aluminum radiator w/electric fans keeping everything cool in the engine bay, and the same transmission that will help you get the most performance is also a great overdrive highway cruiser. The independent front suspension has been upgraded with tubular lower arms, and the rear is the same desirable trailing arm setup that makes the C10s of the era so comfortable. Add in power steering, front disc brakes, and the grip of modern Falken tires, and you have an unbeatable anytime combination in this very tasteful custom Chevy.We know you're already imaging all the different ways and places you'll be cruising in this Blazer, and how cool it will be to slam the air bag suspension to the ground wherever you park it. But you're not the only enthusiast with these dreams, and there's only one like this, so hurry up and call today!
