Traveling merely 50 miles post a meticulous 1,400-hour custom assembly, this restoration-modified Blazer showcases a factory-fresh LS powerplant—a marvel in engineering. One can scarcely encapsulate its allure in mere words, yet ‘astonishing’ does resonate profoundly. It garners unanimous adoration here, even swaying my father, traditionally indifferent to Broncos and Blazers alike. Its heart, a newly installed LS crate engine, paired with an overdrive mechanism and sublime aesthetics, makes it a quintessential street spectacle commanding attention on every boulevard. For those craving further visibility and sunlit escapades, the roof liberates swiftly with the loosening of four bolts, presenting a vehicle rejuvenated and scarcely traversed since its grand completion. This vehicle surpasses mere sweetness; it embodies vehicular perfection.
The exterior boasts a magnificent paint schema; the artisan behind this spectacle undoubtedly possessed profound expertise in automotive aesthetics. The paint, a slick testament to meticulous craftsmanship, is applied with laser precision, its metal flakes arranged to perfection, culminating in a wet-sanded, mirror-like sheen. The detachable top mirrors this finish, rendering a seamless glossy appeal. Each panel aligns impeccably, maintaining uniform gaps that enhance its streamlined silhouette. Doors operate with the ease of a new vehicle, and as one gazes along its flank, the body appears impeccably straight. Every glass piece, newly installed, offers unblemished transparency. The vehicle’s decorative elements—grill, bumpers, emblems, mirrors, and trim—shine resplendently, each piece seemingly untouched by time. Even the fuel filler cleverly conceals behind a pivoting marker light. The wheels, polished alloys from Billet Specialties, are staggered—22 inches at the rear, 20 at the front, enveloped by high-performance tires, lending the truck a formidable stance.
Internally, the plaid motif captivates all; a daring choice by the constructor, masterfully executed with blue, black, and white plaid inserts. The cabin, entirely refitted, boasts seats draped in grey vinyl with plaid adornments and blue stitching, each reinvigorated with new padding for optimal comfort. A replica center console with cupholders sits between front bucket seats. Complementary door panels from front to rear encase high-fidelity speakers, enhancing auditory pleasure. Beneath new carpeting lies Kilzmat insulation, ensuring a serene auditory experience. The cabin’s roof interior is finished with white textured paint, while the dash, harmonized with the exterior, integrates seamlessly with new Dakota Digital VHX gauges and a retro digital stereo. An upgraded air conditioning system from Old Air products, along with a pristine tilt steering column, completes this bespoke interior.
Under the hood lies the heart of this mechanical titan—a Jegs high-performance LS 5.3-liter crate engine, boasting 460 horsepower and 425 ft lb of torque, its prowess barely tapped with less than 50 miles on the clock. The engine bay presents a spectacle of cleanliness and order, featuring a comprehensive ‘blacked out’ Holly fuel injection system, high-rise intake manifold, and sinister-looking air filter and valve covers. An array of enhancements, including a Dirty Dingo serpentine drive, air conditioning, power steering, and a CPP hydroboost master cylinder, augment its formidable capabilities. A Griffin Performance Fit radiator with dual electric fans ensures optimal cooling, while a high-performance AMG battery from Optima provides reliable startup power. This engine, paired with a spotless 4L60E overdrive transmission and a robust 12-bolt rear end, ensures this street machine is as reliable as it is powerful.
In conclusion, the trunk and undercarriage reflect the same attention to detail, with new components ensuring both aesthetic allure and functional integrity. Our team of skilled mechanics has rigorously inspected and fine-tuned this vehicle, ensuring its readiness for both show and exhilarating performance on the road. This Blazer isn’t merely a restored vehicle; it is a re-envisioned icon, ready to turn heads and captivate hearts wherever it roams.
