Ochre 1972 Chevrolet Blazer 4×4 With Removable Hard Top Crosses the Block at Freije & Freije Auctioneers

Few vintage 4x4s say “open road” like a full-size Chevrolet Blazer, and this 1972 Chevrolet Blazer 4×4 is set to cross the block with Freije & Freije Auctioneers at The Fall Big Boy Toy Auction, hosted by The Auto Dealers Exchange. Bidding on the Ochre-painted SUV begins October 30 at 12 p.m.

According to the auction listing, the consigner states the Blazer has had a frame-up restoration, along with a new interior, wheels, and tires. The result is a bright, eye-catching truck wearing a color that suits the era, paired with a tan interior.

Under the hood is a 5.7L V8 paired with an automatic transmission, and this classic Blazer also includes air conditioning and power steering, comforts that make a vintage 4×4 far easier to enjoy on modern roads. The listing describes it as garage kept and calls it “an awesome cruiser,” and with four-wheel drive, it is ready for more than just cruising.

The removable hard top is the real draw. Lift it off for open-air summer driving, or leave it on for year-round usability, and you get two personalities in one 1972 Blazer. The odometer reads 31,851 miles, which the auction notes are not actual.

Values for restored first-generation Blazers have stayed strong as buyers chase classic 4x4s that are as fun to drive as they are to look at, and this example arrives with the heavy lifting already done. The opening bid is listed at $5 with $5 increments. A 12.5 percent buyer’s premium applies, plus an online bidding fee for those bidding remotely.

Interested bidders can review the full details, photos, and terms on the Freije & Freije Auctioneers lot page and register to bid ahead of the sale.

That world isn't a beat she picked up; it's just where she's always been. At Backfire News she covers off-roading, classic car culture, motorsports, and the people behind the machines. She writes with the enthusiasm of someone who genuinely loves this stuff, but she's a stickler for getting the details right—the kind of writing that holds up with actual gearheads. She's still early in her career and building her own voice, bringing a fresh take to a world she's known her whole life. Her work runs across racing coverage, truck and off-road culture, collector vehicles, and the wider lifestyle that comes with all of it. When she's not writing, she's usually trackside, out in the garage, or chasing down the next story worth telling.
