The market for classic SUVs is seeing more interest over the years. Collectors are scrambling to find the next best low mileage example that will never see the light of day when purchased. The legendary 80s Chevrolet Blazer is a victim to the uptick of prices for classic American SUVs. With mileage anxiety at an all-time high, this 1987 Chevrolet K5 Blazer with a reported 99,500 miles on the clock is one way of owning a legendary automotive icon and a way to enjoy the way it was intended to, the great outdoors and wide-open throttle.
Exterior and Interior
With countless original examples in various conditions popping up in the marketplace, this 1987 Chevrolet K5 Blazer sports custom features to make it stand out. Starting with the exterior, which has been finished off in matte black. The custom features don't end there, as when you move over to the front, the grille has been modified to provide a concealed headlight look. A blue racing stripe runs along the rear of the vehicle, which matches the 4x4 symbol on the rear fender. Standing next to this vehicle, you are reminded that its higher off the ground, and you aren't mistaken as the owner reported a 5-inch lift. The increased ride height is complemented with the addition of black aftermarket wheel and tires. Stepping into the light blue and black interior, you instantly know this is a performance machine. The dashboard is lit up with gauges keeping track of engine performance, and your tunes are brought to life with an aftermarket Kenwood sound system.
Engine
While this 1987 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is a fairly large vehicle, it is no slouch, as powering it is the legendary small block 350ci (5.7L) v8 engine that is a reliable powertrain but one that can be tuned to churn out more power in a cinch. The engine was reportedly rebuilt less than 1,000 miles ago and is ready to tackle any off-road obstacle you throw at it. Power is sent to all four wheels of this SUV through an automatic transmission which is also reported to have been rebuilt just 500 miles ago.
The K5 Blazer is one of the defining full-size American 4x4s of its era, combining the hardware of a traditional Chevrolet truck with a shorter two-door body and removable roof. This 1984 Chevrolet K5 Blazer shows 52,293 miles and keeps that classic formula intact with V8 power, an automatic transmission, dual-range four-wheel drive, and solid axles. Its removable fiberglass hardtop adds the open-air element that helped distinguish the K5 from conventional SUVs, while the period-style Rally wheels, BFGoodrich all-terrain tires, and burgundy cabin complete the unmistakably 1980s presentation.
Tune into the modern world of SUVs, and you instantly notice how competitive it all is; each manufacturer rushes to make the next big leap forward. Competition is nice; it brings out the best in one's capabilities, and a closer look reveals names that have been fighting to be on the podium for the better part of a half-century. The modern-day Chevrolet Blazer, Ford Bronco, and Jeep Cherokee are homegrown SUVs, and their modern-day iterations have a way of charming the modern-day car buyer, but you could lose interest in being behind the wheel of one and opt for the latest model with all its latest subscriptions. Present today is the old-school SUV; it’s a machine far from online subscriptions and motivates you to subscribe to good drives. This 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer hails from Denver, Colorado, and is looking for a new partner to clock in those smiles-per-gallon kinda miles, while reportedly having only 53,699 miles on it.
The forerunner to today’s Chevy Tahoe and GMC Yukon, the K5 Blazer was available between 1969 and 1994, across three generations. It’s built on a shortened C/K-Series half-ton truck platform, and offers a proper, four-wheel drive SUV for those who want to venture off-road at will. That’s why this fine blue second-generation 1986 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is the ideal adventure vehicle. It’s got a low 39,000 miles on the clock, comes with the owner’s manual, and two full sets of keys too. Currently domiciled in Winneconne, Wisconsin, it’s the ideal weekend getaway tool, given its refreshing lack of frustrating menus, digital distractions and soul-sucking software nannies.
Few cars capture late-1980s American performance quite like a C4 Corvette. With its long clamshell hood, low-slung cockpit, pop-up headlights, and unmistakable V8 soundtrack, the C4 represented a dramatic leap forward for America’s sports car. This 1988 Chevrolet Corvette Convertible shows 56,274 miles and combines its 5.7-liter L98 V8 with a 4-speed automatic transmission and the desirable Z52 Sport Handling Package. Dark Red Metallic paint, a Saddle convertible top and matching Saddle leather cabin give it a quintessential period color combination, while a rear luggage rack adds another classic grand-touring touch.
The 1961 Chevrolet Corvair 95 Rampside Pickup is one of Chevrolet’s most unconventional utility vehicles, combining a forward-control cab with the Corvair’s rear-mounted, air-cooled powertrain and a genuinely clever side-loading pickup bed. Showing 23,258 miles, this example is powered by a 145ci air-cooled flat-six with dual single-barrel carburetors and a 4-speed manual transmission. Its signature passenger-side loading ramp, rear-mounted engine, compact proportions, and distinctive cab-over styling give the Rampside an identity unlike virtually any other American pickup of the period.
