1991 Chevrolet Blazer K5 Blazer 454 Restored 4 speed manual

NO RESERVE auction! The highest bidder wins.
Up for sale is my 1991 K5 Blazer 4x4 Restomod. This was the last year of this body style and it is a rare truck.If you do not want attention, then this is not the truck for you. I get compliments and conversations are started almost everytime I drive it.
Why am I selling it? I have too many cars and now use my wife's Escalade to tow our boat. I only drive it 1-2 times per month so it needs a new home where it can be appreciated.

It started its life as a Fire department vehicle for the Franklinville, NJ fire department. It stayed with them until it had 87,000 miles. It was a 4x4 K5 Blazer with the 350 and 4 speed manual transmission.

Custom tailgate/hatch from 1987 Chevy Silverado pickup. Much lighter and more functional than factory gate with crank window. Makes it like the original 60s-70s Blazers. The tailgate does lock. I have the original tailgate as well which comes with the Blazer.
It would take you at least $25k to build a blazer like this. It has $8k in the drivetrain alone. It has plenty of power to tow whatever you want. The manual transmission is very rare. It has never been taken off road. Used to tow a 24 foot Starcraft boat and taken to cruise nights every so often. Gets compliments wherever I go.
I have custom car cover, two sets of keys, original manuals, records, etc. It has a clean title, I am the 3rd owner
These trucks are going up in value every year!
