1971 Chevrolet Blazer

Earth MotorCars is proud to present this absolutely spectacular 1971 Chevrolet K5 Blazer, a completely custom-built, all-new creation by Premier Street Rod of Lake Havasu City, Arizona.

Built using some of the finest components in the industry, this K5 is the result of a collaboration with Roadster Shop and was engineered to deliver modern supercharged performance, serious 4WD capability and show-quality craftsmanshipall wrapped in the unmistakable lines of one of Chevrolets most iconic trucks.

And this isnt just a showpiece. This Blazer was a Top 10 winner in the Off-Road category at the 2024 SEMA Battle of the Builders and was featured in Classic Truck Performance magazine.

Under the hood is where things get serious.

Power comes from a 650-horsepower supercharged LT4 V8, paired with GMs 8L90 8-speed automatic transmission. With approximately 1,100 test miles, this Blazer has been built, sorted and drivennot simply assembled to sit under show lights.

The foundation is a Roadster Shop Legend Series chassis featuring GM factory independent front suspension with a GM front differential and axle shafts, Fox adjustable coilovers, power rack-and-pinion steering and a GM 12-bolt Positraction rear axle with 3.42 gears. Deaver rear leaf springs and Fox shocks complete the suspension package. The body is equally special. Rather than beginning with a tired 50-plus-year-old shell, this build utilizes a new Premier Street Rod all-steel Blazer body topped with a Premier double-wall fiberglass hardtop. The combination is expertly finished in a gorgeous custom two-tone PPG Light Blue and Silver that perfectly complements the classic K5 design.

Inside, the craftsmanship continues with a stunning Ivory Gray high-end leather interior by Velocity. Dakota Digital instrumentation brings modern precision to the cockpit, while Vintage Air, a Flaming River tilt steering column, Sparc Industries steering wheel and Lokar shifter combine vintage style with modern comfort and functionality.
