1 owner since new with 14,664 actual miles.
Special ordered bought and delivered from Crossroads Chevrolet in North Hollywood California 8/27/1974 The Blazer was registered and resided in Sacramento California until 1983. It was then moved to Las Vegas where it resided until 1990 when it was moved to the family estate in Montana. It was registered 12/90 and placed into a dry nice clean concrete floor Quonset hut with no windows where it remained until recently discovered.
Special ordered Cheyenne package, 4 speed manual transmission, numbers matching 350 4V, A/C, Tilt, Cruise, Rear seat, padded roll bar, 3.73 rear axle ratio, HD brakes, chrome grille, custom vinyl trim, exterior Sunset Gold, White full removable auxiliary hard top, some period modifications that are easily reversible.

The overall condition is excellent, the undercarriage and chassis are outstanding, interior is outstanding, rust free original paint we hand washed it twice. We believe it has never been buffed or waxed, it is simply one of the finest, lowest mileage, full removable hardtop Blazers in existence.
Full Owner’s manual kit and clear Montana title, the Blazer runs and drives excellent the tires should be replaced due to age if next owner is going to use and drive. This Blazer is worthy of being in any collection. To restore one to this level would be very expensive.

Don’t let Richard touch this awesome K5! Love what you do Dennis. Classy. You are the exact opposite of your buddy Richard. Keep doing what you are doing. Love this stuff and your presentations.
If I won the lotto I would buy that truck in a heartbeat. Beautiful blazer.
An absolute time capsule. I love hearing about the history of these barn finds.
Beautiful truck. The original owner definitely had some pride in his stuff, amazing
ya, but rememner it was locked away in a barn for years .... that is what preserved that truck .... it was hardly driven
What a waste
I couldn’t do your job. I would keep everything. Would break my heart to see it go. 😀👍
Can't take it with you 😏
@@GOBRADON502 why not ?
Man. I love your salesmanship. Your product knowledge is to be admired.
Cameron Myers It’s next to impossible to find more than a handful of individuals on the planet that has the knowledge, the passion, the experience, etc for not just cars or automobiles but who actually has the same passion for learning everything they can about their career.
And yes, it is very much to be admired. I don’t want to talk this way, but when we start losing these few people, this world will wake up one morning and find out what they have taken for granted all these years that they say on the sidelines and took the easy ride. What I would do or would have done, to work for Dennis and be the biggest sponge possible whenever he would be talking!! That would actually be priceless in my opinion. I hope all his techs thank the Lord every night they go home from a hard, hot day in his shop knowing they get to learn from arguably one of the smartest men in our history in the automotive arena!!
Nice rig. Cruise control was not available on a manual transmission on that year, or power windows and door locks, 1977 first year. You will have no problem selling it Dennis, perfect sheet metal. Enjoy your channel and knowledge.
@@1982MCI you do understand he Google's the make and model and does research prior to presentation. First and foremost he is a salesman, to successfully sell a product you must know the product. Vehicles are just a way to make a living to him.
Redneck of course I understand that he will do some research depending upon the vehicle but Dennis is far more than a salesman, he actually has a passion for vehicles and has retained knowledge from a lifetime of researching and rebuilding and selling that he’s the one probly selling the info to google for the rest of the world to pull up.
He doesn’t need to google many automobiles because it’s already been logged and stored in that head of his long before google was a thought in someone’s dream and I’m sure he has forgotten more about our domestic automobiles than google can ever have programmed into her.
And vehicles are much more than just a way to make a living to him, they are his life and it just happens to have given him a very nice income that is well deserved. He is so much more than a used car salesmen, sorry
Absolute dream truck. That thing should be in a museum. Or my garage.
That wheel/tire combo is perfect
Been stored for 30 years “ look how crisp everything is. Absolutely incredible condition”
My Father bought a new '72 K5 when i was 5. He kept it for years, and i still remember it well. School bus yellow with a black top. This one is so cool, a few months later, here I am watching it again. Thank y'all for this one!
Beautifully preserved. Great to see the original documentation still in good condition. Not just a truck but a story too!
I'm a chevy guy..an absolutely love the K5 ERA.. MY DAD owned one an i ways thought is was so cool... love it
I have a 74 K5 Blazer and it has been a family favorite, loved by all and it shows its age ,I'm envious that you found one so original, WOW
It’s a miracle that are still trucks and cars like that,to have a vehicle like that it’s has the colors red,white,and blue written on it. To keep it like that its pride and Joy hell yeah 🤙🤙🤙😎🇺🇸
I really appreciate how he values paperwork and the history of these vehicles.
Ooo. The truck is a real monster. So love it. The great county can make the trucks!!! So proud!!
This truck is incredible! Truly a classic!
Cool truck. i just started my channel where I take trucks up into the mountains to wreck em. Hope I can make a few people laugh!
My dad had a ‘74 Chevy C10 Cheyenne Super. That chrome trim around the instrument cluster was always coming off. He tried glues and tape, but finally just pulled it off. Cool truck!
Dang! that's ridiculously nice. My ol' Blazer is a Frankenstein of many trucks put together. I've always dreamed of what it looked like off the showroom floor.
Thanks to Dennis Collins’ enthusiasm my new sayings are “Super Crisp” and “Absolutely Incredible” 😂 love this guy 🤘🏼such passion!
Beautiful blazer! My heart skipped a beat when I saw the first video. It reminded of my neighbor Mr Preciado who had a 1977 in a sky blue color. I was 12 at the time when his would pick me up in it and we would head out to the mud races in Laredo ,Tx. I love that blazer so much he told me son, when you get your driver's license I will let you have the blazer. He passed on when I was 14 and the blaze got sold a few years later.
For never being waxed and just being washed twice it is extremely clean
These were always my favorite 4x4s I had one and sure wish I had it back
Dennis, of all the times you've said holy grail how did this truck not earn that badge! Cool find, great video, really great how you point out the finer details on things to look for.
John M. Because it’s crisp, lol
Dennis, in all my years I never realized what the square holes in the center console were until I saw how the lap belt buckles were being stored. Thanks for brining this classic to us!!
Thanks for making sure vehicles like this are preserved.
The more I watched this program the more I like this guy and he is just so cool treats his people right and you can have fun make money cuz that's been my model in h v a c business for years. Get up in the morning go to work and enjoy what you do so cool to see a successful business. That's really cool to find those vehicles that people trust you when they sell them to you that they know you'll do them right. Live life their man you're doing great
That blazer is just beautiful. I've always wanted one lol
That was my first BLAZER same color with A T put 4in lift and 35's on it BACK THEN IT GOT ALL THE LOOKS FUN TRUCK HOPE THEY BRING IT BACK!
Love the detail you guys put into each build and the knowledge and information you provide is an education within it's self!!
Absolutely amazing. This is like rare fine crafted jewelry. Thank you Dennis.
Dennis, very nice truck, brings back memories, I graduated in 1976, I bought a new 1977 1/2 ton 4wd, Cheyenne stepside... I hope who ever buys your K5 takes good care of it...
Reminds me of my 75 Chevy k5 full removable top last year..love this video.
Beautiful work guys! Keep on finding these gems. Love your channel.
That truck is incredible. What an unbelievable find. Essentially a brand new 1974 Blazer. Someone will get a dream truck for sure. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful find
Seeing this truck brings back my childhood when my grandfather had one
Truck is awesome Dennis! Thanks for the video!
Great video Dennis, I seen when you guys picked it up as well. One thing I like about your videos is how professional you are when talking to the sellers, and you never say what you are paying for the cars you buy, super cool no boasting or bragging just straight business. Really enjoy you videos and knowledge.
Beautiful!
Love the pillarless doors 👌
In 1978 I was given by my father an ex Gas Co. service truck - a 1974 Dodge w/ utility bed. He said the other truck he looked at was a 1974 Blazer but the Dodge had less rust. Keep in mind this is PA and cars rusted after only 3 years in the snow and salt. As an 18 yr old, I still would have took the Blazer!
The only older cars i really care about are survivors. I think its the charm, the story and honesty of them.
Those Blazer interior colours are awesome.
Any car from this era in this condition is special. It's literally like a time capsule and you're transported directly to that era.
For that car, built with lack of pride by GM, you'd be lucky to find one in that good of shape at 6 months old.
What a truck!!!! Nice work Dennis. Love your content and vehicles!
So, watching this 2 years later I cant help but wonder, did you keep this for yourself? You seemed quite enamored with it, and rightfully so. I love this show. Don't ever stop rescuing amazing vehicles..
Excellent video. Beautiful truck. Thanks for the update. 😊
I'd give it a paint correction and shampoo the carpet and leave it as is. Unrestored classics are my favorite.
Unrestored? Lol what could you restore on it?...it's a gem and it sold for 85k
I dont think there is any correction to be done. its showroom mint
That is beyond cool Dennis. I have a cousin that had a early 70’s. Brazer like this one. Thanks for sharing 😊👍🏻
nothing like a chevy 4 speed love it 350 bad to the bone
Mr. Dennis again it's a real joy to see this true time capsule of a vehicle, In a few words I'm personally speechless of what beautiful things to say about your blessed purchase...I strongly advise you to keep it! These types of vehicles that should be kept in plastic capsule and stays within the family to be inherited and to win awards....I truly wish you all the best, Again congratulations on your purchase
Hey Dennis, love the channel. I’ve been waiting for the update on this thing. This is easily one of the best vehicles you’ve had on here.
Thanks for the follow-up video!
I love this Truck
Thanks Dennis for sharing.
Such a beautiful truck!!🔥🔥
Absolutely amazing truck! Nice find !
That truck is absolutely beautiful man good score 💪
Outstanding Mr Collins 👏.
Best K5 I’ve ever even heard of from that era Congratulations Dennis.
That truck is.... crispy! Great video, thanks for sharing Dennis !
Absolutely Beautiful K5 Blazer !! The U.S Army used those
For me the best Blazer are the 69-75 with the full convertible removable top !
This one is absolutely gorgeous!
Great video. Love your coffee walk love on a Friday. Keep up the good work. These are fascinating for someone from the u.k. your car knowledge is second to none.
That's my dream K5 soooo clean. I only wish..
What a beauty.
Makes me fall in love my 75 k5 even more.
I also have a quick short video how it looks.
The fact it is manual I’d want this. The only beef I have is the color and rims, but that can be changed although I don’t think I would touch it.
What a gem find, I wished Chevy would have brought this style back when they reintroduced the blazer, the new blazer looks like every other SUV out there, where this one was just awesome looking.
I had a 76...loved it. Thing would go anywhere.
Thanks for saving another icon @Dennis!
that was my very first truck i ever owned . I bought mine when i was 15 back in the 80s
I thought my dad was the only guy who didn't like power windows. I never understood that. What a fabulous truck!
One of the best things that ever happened to that Blazer, is that they got rid of that Quadrajunk.
Kelsey would look stunning driving this beast
I picture the guy that ordered this and how much he loved it!
Blazer is amazing! That’s a dream buy! Your so lucky.
I drove a '70 K5 in High School and am amazed by this truck. Very cool!!💯😎🌴
Awesome video, thanks Dennis 😎
Dennis is in Love , he's keeping this truck for sure
My first vehicle in 1983 was a 1975 Blazer, which I believe was the last year for the full removable top. Had a blast with it. Wish I still had it. I am in the Texas panhandle area.
Really cool seeing somebody enjoy the hell out of it after so many years
Super cool! Nice find😍
No words. Just amazing.
What a beautiful truck. I’d love to have something like that. Amazing.
Absolutely beautiful blazer
You know it's the 70s when you need 2 front ashtrays.😆
Great memories of a 74 K5 my uncle had. Many trips to the PA Bradford Co. mountains hunting and fishing or towing snowmobiles to play in the snow. The blazer was a tank. We carried a wench to get around a few obstacles on some crazy back roads or perhaps old fire roads no vehicle had been on in 20-30 plus years. Sitting in the back seat was tough on the older guys but as youngsters we never minded bouncing around. I was lucky enough to drive that manual-remembering starting out in 2nd b/c 1st was low. By far this 74 you have best original I have seen. Thanks for taking me back.
Saw that pop up on BaT but didn’t realize it was yours. Haven’t had time to check out the listing yet but definitely will.
It’s gonna go for ALL. THE. MONEY. As it should.
I'm something of a K5 expert and used an '88 for 20 years as a daily driver until the East Coast rust became uncontrollable despite my great care. This truck (with all the amazing period accessories I grew up seeing in my 1970s off road magazines), is my absolute wet dream, but it's unfortunate that these trucks, like Ford Broncos, have become priced out of reach for all but the wealthiest of dealers and flippers who really don't have a genuine love for maintaining and enjoying them.
I found a 1976 K5 in 2005 here in Austria, with same options, like 4-speed-manual, cheyenne, etc., all original, 44k miles on it, one owner. It sat at in a backyard of a towing company for more than 10 years. Got a bit rust meanwhile, but it was in a quite restorable condition. Side by side, was another K5 with automatic drive, that has been used as for towing cartrailers. The owner wanted to get rid of it only sellling them together. I called a friend and we picked them up the next day. At that time I had a daily driver '78 K5 which had 36 (!) pre-owners and the body was in a pretty bad shape, when I got it, but it was running great. The idea was to find a better body to swap. But I kept the 76 original and sold it to a collector, when I had to close my garage.
Very BIG like for this video. What an incredible COOL car, soo good this is for my eyes. Thanks a LOT Dennis for sharing this!!
That thing is beautiful! Those are my favorite vehicles.
Just absolutely beautiful
This is awesome. With 2 days to go it is at $38,000.00 on the auction site and worth every penny and more. Good luck with the sale Dennis.
Lovely truck Dennis from Grimsby,England. Love your work keep it up.
Love the Blazer, the shirt not so much! ;)
TIME CAPSULE !!!! Dennis is the MAN
New adjective for unrestored classics: “crisp”!
Yeah really...
A 1 of 1 truck, without a doubt. Such an amazing rig. I could sit and bullshit with Dennis for days, love all the knowledge and enthusiasm about every vehicle he's showing
❤ what a beautiful truck I wish it was mine
Keep the truck for yourself Dennis. I once owned a 74 Chevy C10 Pickup with a matching bed cap and it had the convenient dual gas tanks. It was a big roomy truck, you could' not beat it for comfort. I used it mainly for camping and to pull a camper trailer. It had a 350 engine also, and the truck was never a problem. You could sit under the hood on the wheel-well and do an engine tuneup, actually I did all my own maintenance back then. They put too many optional gadgets crap in the dash these days, and you can't do your own work on them ... no room to do anything these modern vehicles. I like to be in a 74 Chevy Truck again.
Congratulations dennis! You nailed it..incredible condition.. K5 blazer..
YOU NEED YOUR OWN TV SHOW
Oh Dennis if I had my way I'd buy this rig reminds me of my dads. So cool
Time to get a loan bill 😆
