1978 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Restomod with Patina & LS1-V8!

After the Restomod '69 Chevrolet K5 Blazer from a few hours ago we now have another copy for you. This time it's a '78 Chevy K5 Blazer with a mighty LS1 V8 under the hood from the vendor GKM. That means this one too Restomod conversion can be bought. The body of the one-of-a-kind is cream-colored and has yellow/orange/black stripes. There is also a formerly white (now dirty grey) soft top and a light brown interior. The vintage off-road vehicle is also deliberately presented with a lot Patina, which GKM (Garage Kept Motors in Grand Rapids, Michigan) also points out. What they don't point out is that rock or dune adventures are now taboo for the K5. Because the SUV was lowered significantly with regard to a sporty road setup (using QA1 coilovers and stabilizers), got modern rack and pinion steering and a set of Corsart rims. With this you certainly don't want to be off the beaten track anymore.

But the highlight of the transformation is under the hood. In addition to an aluminum radiator with electric fans, a completely re-sealed 5,7-liter LS1 V8 with brand new LS swap wiring harness is installed. It is mated to a remanufactured 4L60E automatic transmission with TBBS converter and HD2 kit. Of course, the changes make the K5 Blazer anything but cheap, hence the asking price of $54.900.
