I am just finishing one of my nicest restorations ever... this could quite possibly be the nicest second-generation "square-body" Blazers to be found: 1978 Chevrolet K/5 Blazer 4x4 in factory-correct Hawaiian Blue finish with new Medium Blue high back bucket seat vinyl interior. This is a genuine one-owner 87k original mile vehicle that has just undergone an in-depth 700-hour professional restoration... do the math, it would cost a small fortune to have this done. Check out the underside of the floors... that is THE original red oxide primer you are looking at... not repainted or repaired. Virgin floors and rockers, steering box frame area is perfect and un-repaired... these often require work in that frame area.

I would keep it if I could afford to... that said, I own the restoration shop, and I'm in the wrong business to keep vehicles! Clear title in hand, matches VIN exactly for inspection and export. While every effort has been made to describe the vehicle as accurately as possible, it is in fact a 40-year-old classic, and therefore being sold as-is, without warranty or guarantee expressed, written, or implied. This is not a new, perfect, or flawless vehicle; it is a restored classic vehicle and may be expected to have minor flaws associated with a vehicle of this age. Paint quality is as it was when new; minor orange peel and minor imperfections just as came from the factory in 1978; not 2018 Mercedes or BMW finish! While beautiful, even the most well-restored classics have small issues now or in the future.
