One owner 1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer with 14,900 original miles.

Perennially popular with both the classic and off-roading crowds, the 2^nd generation K5 receives high marks for comfort and off-road capability. This superb Midnight Black / Buckskin example is an incredibly well-preserved, highly original K5 that has been driven a mere 14,940 miles since new. It has known just one owner since being sold new in Ellensburg, WA and is a very well-optioned example; a perfect blend of comfort and ruggedness.

A proven off-road commodity, the K5 Blazer was purpose built to tackle the elements. This example was ordered with the high-torque 400ci V8 engine and a 4-speed automatic transmission that drives an optional 3.40 locking rear axle. It was also appointed with the Trailering Special equipment that increased this Blazer's towing capacity, added a heavy duty radiator and rear trailer hitch. The only deviation from the factory setup comes in the form of an updated FlowMaster exhaust system with chrome tips. This K5 has been incredibly well-maintained since new and is fully sorted with a freshly rebuilt carburetor.

On the comfort side of things, this Blazer was ordered with the highly desirable Cheyenne interior option package that added Buckskin-colored leather-grained high back vinyl front bucket seats, a center console, bright metal trim, matching carpeting and deluxe instrumentation including a tachometer, voltometer, temperature gauge and oil pressure gauge. Further features include factory air conditioning, folding rear seat, push-button AM radio and even a power tailgate window!

We have an organized binder of K5 information and documentation for this Blazer that includes the original window sticker and dealer invoice, the original Washington State vehicle registration and owner's books.

Superbly preserved an impeccably presented, this Blazer ranks among the finest K5s anywhere.
