You know what makes off-roading even better? When you can get out of your rig and shoot pictures and video of it and your location without your phone over-heating (I know from experience). Luckily, cooler weather is coming. But if you want our Pick of the Day so you can take it wheeling, you have to go after it. You can find this 1975 Chevrolet K5 Blazer 4X4 on ClassicCars.com listed by a private seller in Sonoma, California.

Vintage SUVs are so hot these days but, 20 years ago, someone made the right decision to restore this full-size rig. No word on what color(s) this Blazer originally had, but now it wears the attractive combination of red and white on its body (perhaps Crimson Red and Frost White?) and white on its removable top.

Chevrolet offered the 1975 Blazer with two-wheel drive, but this one sends the power from its four-barrel 350ci V8 through a TH350 automatic and a transfer case to all four of its 31-inch BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO2s. Dual Rough Country steering stabilizers combat the bump steer caused by the challenging terrain a vehicle like this was made to get over.

The interior was both updated and upgraded with the tan leather seats from a later-model Chevrolet Suburban or Tahoe. Those, as well as air conditioning, JVC AM/FM/cassette radio with a Sony Xplod CD changer, and center console with a pair of cup holders, should make any off-road trip a more pleasant experience.

You know better wheeling weather is coming, but you won’t really know how nice this 1975 Chevrolet K5 Blazer 4X4 is in the wild unless you buy it. It’ll take $44,000 to find out.
