1972 Chevrolet Blazer CST

The first-generation Chevrolet K5 Blazer has become one of the most desirable vintage 4x4s on the market, combining unmistakable American styling with genuine off-road capability. Produced for just four model years from 1969 through 1972, the inaugural K5 was Chevrolet's answer to the Bronco and Scout, built on a shortened half-ton truck chassis with a removable hardtop that created one of the most iconic sport utility vehicles of its era. The 1972 model represents the final and most refined year of the first generation, featuring factory front disc brakes and the culmination of Chevrolet's original K5 design.

Offered here is an exceptional 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer that has been thoughtfully transformed into a no-compromise restomod, blending timeless styling with modern performance, reliability, and drivability. Every aspect of the build reflects careful planning and quality craftsmanship, resulting in a Blazer that feels equally at home cruising through town, tackling back roads, or appearing at any Cars & Coffee event.

Power comes from a BluePrint 350 cubic-inch crate motor rated at 400hp & 400 lb. ft. along with a Holley SNIPER electronic fuel-injection system, paired with a GM 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission and NP205 transfer case, delivering effortless performance while maintaining the unmistakable character expected of a vintage American truck. The drivetrain is complemented by a four-wheel disc brake conversion and Hydroboost power brake booster, KYB shocks, revised hardware and 3.73 rear, providing confidence on the road without sacrificing the rugged personality that made the K5 legendary.

The exterior presents beautifully, wearing metallic blue paint over classic first-generation body lines that have become increasingly difficult to find in this level of condition. From its open-top silhouette and upright stance to its purposeful proportions, every angle reminds you why these early Blazers have become blue-chip collector vehicles. Tasteful upgrades — including all new 20-inch chrome wheels wrapped in Nitto Ridge Grappler tires, LED exterior lighting, a dual side-exit stainless steel exhaust system & long-tube headers — enhance the truck without distracting from its original design.

Inside, the cabin has been equally well executed with power 2017 Suburban captains chairs upholstered in suede & leather, a dashboard mounted Vintage Air Conditioning system, and a retro-style AM/FM/Auxiliary & Bluetooth capable radio paired to a Pioneer Sound System with a flush-mounted subwoofer with adjustable bass control in the rear of the truck, offering a comfortable, functional environment that seamlessly blends vintage charm with modern convenience.

Today, first-generation K5 Blazers have earned their place among the most collectible American SUVs ever produced. Their limited production, unmistakable styling and endless versatility have made them favorites among collectors and enthusiasts alike. Finding one restored is no longer unusual. Finding one built to this standard — with carefully selected modern mechanicals and an attention to detail that respects the truck's heritage — is another story entirely.

This 1972 Chevrolet K5 Blazer represents the best of both worlds: timeless design paired with modern engineering, offering an ownership experience that can be enjoyed as confidently on today's roads as it can be admired in any collection.
