A mostly stock replacement 350 Chevy engine pushes 210 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque to the rear wheels. Not a frame-off restoration, Kennelly crafted this K5 over the last eight years to prep it for duty as a regular runabout. After buying it in Reno, Nevada, with rust-laden floorboards and flat tires, he towed it 700-plus miles to his home.
However, southern California resident Ryan Kennelly had other ideas for this yellow-hued off-roader. This 1972 Chevy K5 Blazer once had a proud and productive life, but years of neglect sent this classic 4×4 into a tailspin of rust and a resting place amongst the weeds. Few modern SUVs can match the “we’re going camping” central-casting perfection of an early Chevy Blazer with a canoe strapped to the top. From customized campervans and gigantic global expedition 4x4s to do-it-yourself home builds and fully restored classics, the following vehicles represent a cross-section of the best and most unique vehicles in attendance. Attended by an estimated 28,000 enthusiasts, the show provides an opportunity to check out the industry’s latest products and trends, view key demonstrations, experience hands-on displays and get an up-close and personal look at some coolest feature vehicles around.
