Custom Restoration

This '72 Chevrolet Blazer underwent a stunning custom restoration, turning it into the ProTouring resto-mod you see now. It's been fitted with a 1967-style front end along with plenty more performance features. If it tickles your fancy then you can place a bid because it's going up for auction.

Powerhouse

Under this Blazer's hood sits an LS3 V8 powerplant which pumps out a tire-shredding 525 horsepower. All of this car's ponies are sent through a 4L60E automatic transmission with overdrive.

Quality Ride

When you think of ProTourers, Blazers aren't one of the first models that come to mind. But, apart from the endless amount of power on tap, this car has been fitted with modern suspension and Wilwood 4-wheel disc brakes. In short, it's a smooth ride.

Outstanding Interior

When you open this Blazer's door, you'll be taken aback by its custom Red leather interior. Then, slip into the reclining driver's bucket seat and get your hands on the billet steering wheel, behind which sits Dakota Digital gauges. It wouldn't be hard to wrack up some miles in this car.

Power Parts

The LS3 propelling this monster gets a helping hand in the form of some performance parts. The engine is fed via velocity stacks and individual throttle bodies with fuel injection. It also has blackout Earl's fuel lines.

Style

One thing this short-wheelbase beauty will surely do is turn heads. It's been finished with a custom Red paint job that mirrors the truck's interior. It's also been fitted with a custom removable top - perfect for a sunny day.

Surfs Up

Included in the sale is a matching surfboard that features a mural of the Blazer with it's top removed. If you want to avoid attention on the beach, this probably isn't the best buy for you.
