Vehicle Detail
Up for sale is my 1972 Chevy Blazer. This was originally bought in TX and has spent its whole life in either CA/TX (little to no rust). I bought this 2 years ago from the owner of a mechanics shop. He had owned it for 10+ years and hadn't driven it a great deal. I was hoping to use this as a good base to make into my vision of this body style. Unfortunately, 2 years has gone by and I literally haven't done a single thing to it (and have driven it less than 500 miles myself). Reality has set in and I realize I may never have the time needed to do the work, so I'm selling and clearing the space in my driveway. I'll do my best to represent the truck as accurately as possible, but please feel free to ask any questions.454 crate motor (non-EFI) that I was told was installed about 15 years ago. There are approximately 20k miles on the motor and 136k on the chassis.Front and rear ends were both rebuilt prior to me buying (~500 miles ago)New rear driveline 500 miles agoNew Flowmaster two chamber mufflers 500 miles ago4" Rancho lift kit15x8 Mickey Thompson Classic II Locks (simulated bead lock) with 33x12.50x15 Pro Comp X-Terrain Tires. These have less than 1500 miles on themDouble Wall Fiberglass Hardtop - hard to findFront/Rear seats from 1992 Suburban (red)Originally a CST and have the badges if you would like themAll original steel. I've had no issues other than having to adjust the carb during the various seasons as temps cooled off and came back up. I've listed some of the things I believe may be difficult to gauge from the pics, but are important to note.It needs paint. It looks fine from farther away, but whoever painted this before me did so likely as a garage project. It's a fairly weak job and there is no clear cloat or sealant (some paint comes off on towels after washing/driving). The a/c does not work and has not since the 454 was put in. This can be made to work with an aftermarket bracket.There is no carpet for the interior. The previous owner looks to have herculined the interior and then painted it over with red (again, a sloppy paint job in my opinion, but is functional)No passenger seatbeltSome cracks in the hardtop near where the interior lights are usually placed (not installed). If you'd like separate pics, let me knowOtherwise, the truck runs great and is a blast to drive. I've tried to describe and show as accurately as possible, but please keep in mind this is a 41 year old vehicle and ask any questions you may have prior to bidding. I think this is a great truck, whether as-is as a fun weekend car or potential base for a restoration or resto-mod. Thanks for looking and happy bidding! (Also, I have the truck for sale locally. I reserve the right to end the auction early if it sells).
