Vehicle Detail
This is a 1994 Chevrolet Blazer 2 door 4x4. This was nearing the end of the full size K series Blazer before it was rebadged as the Tahoe. This is one of the finest examples that you will probably see. It has been meticulously maintained. It currently has a little over 111k miles on it and is hard loaded with nearly every option. The mileage may change slightly as I do drive it from time to time. This only had a drivers seat for a power seat option. It has all power equipment and a tilt wheel. From what I've been able to discover the truck was bought new here in Colorado. The second owner purchased it 13 years ago. It has been garaged and it definitely shows. It also has the more desirable manual shift transfer case. No electric motors to give out when you need it most. · It has newer paint which is a gorgeous black with a deep gunmetal metallic gray lower half which is in incredible condition. It was then clear coated and polished. The paint shop used 3M clear bra material to cover the lower rockers to protect it from rock chips which would normally show up in this area. It's hard to get black to lay down this good. The door hinge pins and bushings were also replaced along with some other small pieces when it was in for the paint. Total was $3300.00. · The engine was replaced about 30k ago. A factory replacement 5.7 (350) GM FI crate engine was used to keep with the originality and more importantly, reliability. It was done at a reputable shop in Denver. The only performance enhancement done to the engine was the addition of a tall K&N air filter in place of the factory unit. Previous owner stated it was a little over $3,000.00 for the replacement. · Exhaust. It was redone around the time the engine was replaced. Starts at the factory manifolds. No headers to leak and cause problems. It now has a Magna flow exhaust and Hi-Flow cat which spilt into duals running out the back. There are black chrome tips finishing it off which give it an incredible look. The truck has a mild rumble to it. It's not obnoxious, loud and droning when you're driving at highway speeds. It's clean with a nice note. I believe that was about $750.00. · Interior. It is gray cloth which is in as close to perfect condition as you will find! The carpet is very nice for the age as it looks to have been running floor mats the majority of it's life. Seats are as comfortable as if new and not worn out with broken down side bolsters, torn material, etc. I've added a new, billet steering wheel and hub assembly for personal preference but the horn is not hooked up through this wheel. It is with the factory wheel. I'm negotiable if the winning bidder wants just the factory wheel. I'd like to keep the billet one. It is pictured with the factory wheel as well which also goes with it when it sells. The OEM stereo system is factory and works perfectly. It does have upgraded speakers and a hidden amp in the back to clean up the sound. The system looks all factory but the sound quality is greatly improved. The only other upgrade is an Alpine CD changer hidden under the drivers seat. The display pad was installed in the overhead console. There is also a remote for it. It is as clean and solid as the truck it's in. The front two roll ups have a mid level degree of tint added to them that matches the rear glass. · Tires and wheels were replaced with a much better looking polished 17" alloy rims and LT275/70R 17 all season tires. I would estimate that they have about 90-95% tread life left. No weird wear patterns, etc. The truck drives nice and straight and rides super smooth. $1700.00. · Drivetrain. The truck was ordered with most options which included the factory tow package. This gets you 3.73 gears and the posi-track. Z-71 package as well. All fluids, filters, gaskets etc were replaced and serviced when the engine was done. That includes the trans, transfer case and both front and rear differentials, etc. · I replaced the lights rather than cleaning up the factory ones. They were starting to show their age with slight fading. This detracted from overall condition of the truck. They are all new to factory specs. No Pep-boy specials with the "European look" or those other weird designs. I like the OEM, factory GM look. The truck looks even better now. The new owner will get all of the factory original lights that were removed. Also, while I was up there I added a chrome billet bow tie to finish it off. · I have a file folder of receipts for hoses, fuel pump, seals and gaskets and other little odds and ends which shows the truck has been very well cared for. If there was an issue the owners fixed it. The detractors that I see are the elastic document holders on the visors are sagging which they all do in time. I've pinned them up so they are presentable. It has a small crack on one of the dash panel screws in the upper left side of the dash. You can see it in one of the pics if you look close enough. Minor but mentionable. The windshield has some age appropriate pitting to it. I was planning on replacing it if I keep it. This is still in decent shape but I'm just picky about the glass. I just can't say enough about the condition of this Blazer. It handles, rides and runs extremely well. It is a very comfortable truck. It represents one of the cleanest examples of this series of Chevrolet trucks that you will find. This is one of those trucks that others should be measured against. I would strongly, strongly encourage that you have an independent inspection done prior to bidding on this truck. I'm confident that the appraiser will agree that it has been kept in incredible condition and is ready to go another few decades down the road! As you can see it has a clean Carfax which shows me as the third owner along with it being well above the average mark. This is a great truck which gets lots of compliments. ASK ALL QUESTIONS PROR TO PLACING A BID! YOUR BID IS A BINDING CONTRACT. AGAIN, I STRONGLY ENCOURAGE SERIOUS BUYERS TO SEND A REPUTABLE INSPECTOR TO LOOK AT THE TRUCK. IT WILL HELP TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS THAT YOU MAY HAVE WHEN PURCHASING A VEHICLE SIGHT UNSEEN. I will do what I can if you'd like to look at the truck in person but please be considerate and provide plenty of advanced notice. I have a busy work and personal schedule that I'll need to work around. SHIPPING: Buyer will make all arrangements surrounding shipping of the vehicle. I will do what I can on my end to work with the carrier of your choice but you are responsible for shipping arrangements and payment to the carrier. PAYMENT: A non refundable deposit of $300.00 is due within 24 hours of auctions end. Remaining payment is due within 7 calander days from auctions end date. I will be out of town at the end of November. I'd prefer to have things taken care of by then. The reserve is in place for reasons of fairness. Again, send an independant qualified inspector to look at the vehicle. I'm sure they'll be impressed with its condition.
