1969 Chevrolet K5 Blazer-Restored-Convertible-Very Rare-1st Year Blazer Was Made

Tastefully Restored 1969 Chevrolet K5 Blazer. Rarest of all '69-72 Blazers. 1969 was the first year for the Blazer. All were 4WD the first year and this is one of only 4935 ever made that year. I have over $30K invested. New sheet metal and wiring throughout. Fresh paint in original factory blue. This is a Non-Smoker vehicle. So much has been done to this vehicle it is hard to list it all. I have owned for it for 18 years. It was my daily driver for 2 1/2 years before it was stored in my father-in-law's garage where oil changes and basic maintenance were kept up. I started restoring in 2012. I have many pics of the restoration as it was happening. Send your personal e-mail if you're a serious buyer and I can send more pics. This was not a full frame off but very close frame on restoration. Engine was originally a 6 cylinder but was replaced with a 350 V8 that was resealed. tuned up. and repainted. Turbo Hydramatic TH350 transmission was also resealed. It has the original NP-205 gear driven transfer case that was also resealed. Dana 44 front axle with disc brakes and brand new Warn premium locking hubs. Original 12 bolt GM rear axle with drum brakes. All new rear brakes and the front discs and pads are in great shape. I just bought all new nitrogen filled tires from Costco. They are BFG KO All-Terrain 32x11. 50x15's on silver rally wheels (including spare with original spare tire rack). Back seat and front buckets are original. Front seat vinyl is rough but foam is comfortable so I have nice Coverall seat covers on them. I replaced the front seat belts and the rear are original and in good working condition. The stereo is a Pioneer single CD player with MP3/iPod inputs and I added nice Pioneer kick panel speakers. I still have the original radio. speaker. and a dash piece that could be welded back in for original if needed. The entire floor was professionally sprayed with black bedliner after replacing all sheetmetal so it is very solid throughout. New windshield. doors. bedsides. tailgate. rockers. front and rear floorpans. front and rear wheel wells. stainless exhaust. and the rear hatch in the redone hardtop is even new. The list goes on and on. This thing is a head turner everywhere you drive it. You'll love the full convertible for summer fun cruising. It also has the original white hardtop for winter (currently on now) and a black Kayline soft top for summer (hasn't been on since the restoration but is very easy to install). It is stored in my garage with a full car cover on it and has less than 500 miles on it since being restored. I have only driven it in the rain once so it is very clean. Every other drive has been on nice days to car shows or to wash it since it has been restored. The first two pics with the top off are from July with old tires. All other pics are from this month. It would make a great lake or beach cruiser or just fun to drive and take to car shows. Buyer must pay for and arrange shipping from Blue Springs.
