Very nice. Is that all original? The compass on the dash has me thinking yes!!! Either way great looking Blazer.

Re: Finally found one! New Member

After talking to the guy and and asking for detailed pictures I bought it. Transport company droped it off Sunday morning (Spokane WA to CA) The guy had all the original paperwork, service records and protecto plate. The glove box and console still had the grandfathers (orignal owners) personal stuff which I found strange and kind of sad. You can tell the grandfather cared for the blazer. Here is the original ad for the Blazer....Classic 1972 K5 Chevy Blazer CST. 350 auto. Drivetrain completely gone through in excellent working condition, no leaks. White removable top, roll bar. Gold embossed interior in showroom shape except for driver's seat which has small tear on side. Carpet perfect. No rust in floor. Small half-dollar size rust spot on both sides behind doors. Truck in outstanding shape. White rubber rear (rare) splash guard. Outside spare tire. Dealer installed CB radio (Cobra) from 1972 and dealer installed custom winch.
Original wheels and hubcaps. Truck comes with second set of chrome mags and aggressive tires. Paint and body nearly flawless, chrome is shiny and clean of rust.
This was purchased by my grandparents in 1972 and has had little mileage put on it the last 20 years. It has 73,030 miles on it now.
