2002 Chevrolet Blazer ZR2

Description

This 2002 Chevrolet Blazer ZR2 is a specialty model right from the factory. They made it a taller and wider 4x4 to make sure it could live up to its legendary namesake. However, what you might be most impressed with in this example is how well it has been preserved inside and out. And investments in fundamentals like the front end means this capable Blazer is also quite a solid and loaded cruiser.

The black paint on this Blazer shows all the right signs of being the factory application. There is a depth and smoothness to it that looks instantly attractive and signals a life of proper respect thus far. In fact, while the odometer is believed to reflect the full mileage, it looks like it left the garage far less. And we can understand why this one would get this level of respect and preservation. This is the final evolution of the second-gen Blazer, and that was the last time it would be offered as a two-door. And while the shorter wheelbase was ideal for the more capable ZR2 package, it also just gives this a terrific balance of both sporty and beefy style. It has a tall stance, ZR2 decals, and a full-size spare on a swing-away mount. Plus, the flared fenders are some of the most artful we've ever seen with the champagne color looking distinct against the factory black paint. And the bumper trim is also done to match. Overall, everything on this one has the kind of good fit, finish, and shine that tells you it likely has never seen a mud hole (yet).

The gray interior has an almost time capsule level of presentation. Plush velour upholstery, smooth plastics, nice carpeting, and good door panels contribute to the overall feel of respect you see throughout this Blazer. And this is not just about respectful use. There have been good investments in details like a refurbished steering wheel, new door hinge pins, and the air conditioning was even recently serviced to blow nice and cold. ZR2 was an expensive package when new, and so the interior also gives you all the best comforts. It includes well-contoured front bucket seats, power windows, power locks, keyless entry/alarm, a tilt steering column, a cup holder center console, and the factory AM/FM/CD stereo. These two-door Blazers are an ideal size where you can almost feel like you have a sporty coupe - especially with the way the seat, console, and instruments envelop the driver. But there's also real back seat room and plenty of cargo space. In fact, not only does the split rear hatch make it easy to carry the big stuff, but it's also an ideal place to sit and watch a ballgame.

Under the hood is the correct 4.3-liter V6. This fuel-injected Vortec motor was the largest and final evolution of the S-10 Blazer line, and so it's the one you really want. Its healthy torque reputation gets you going from stop lights with a nice hustle, and it's also great when it's time to get any work done. This is a true 4x4, and the two-speed transfer case is engaged via buttons on the dash. So there you never have to get out if you decide to hit the trails. But this is made for more than just the off-road life. That's why there's also the four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive and cruise control. And power steering, newer tires, and four-wheel power disc brakes make for great any-time driving appeal. In fact, we have a receipt documenting a full front end rebuild from only a few months ago. New bushing, tie rods, upper control arms, shocks, and more are all about making this ride basically like it did back on day one.

Complete with owner's manual, this Blazer ZR2 has the right preservation and investments to be the sporty/capable/vintage SUV of your dreams. Call today!!!
