Record at a glance

VIN: CKL186F124675
Year: 1976
Make: Chevrolet
Model / series: K5 Blazer, model CK10516; Z84 Cheyenne equipment documented on SPID
Assembly plant: F — Flint, Michigan (printed on the VIN-matched options/pricing records)

Evidence status

Verified exact VIN on photographed SPID, identification/loading plate and dealer options/pricing records. The SPID documents selected original configuration, including Z84 Cheyenne, LS9 and M40. The photographs do not establish that every paper is an unaltered first-generation original or that all present components are original. Lifetime mileage and ownership continuity remain unverified.

Factory documents

The photographed SPID carries CKL186F124675, model CK10516, 106.5-inch wheelbase and order B5U905. Selected readable entries are LS9 350 V8, M40 Turbo Hydra-Matic, C60 air conditioning, NK7 31-gallon fuel tank, Z84 Cheyenne equipment, ZY1 solid paint, Z58 white top, 20L Skyline Blue and 26W/XDD2 blue custom-vinyl trim. Separate VIN-matched computer-printed options and pricing records name Cobb Motor Company and Flint, Michigan. Private purchaser and transaction details are withheld. The metal identification/loading plate repeats the VIN and shows 6,200-lb GVWR, 3,300-lb front GAWR and 3,400-lb rear GAWR. These are selected document readings. No photographed form is independently identified here as an assembly-line build sheet.

Physical vehicle evidence

The Pederson gallery photographs the Blazer and its VIN-linked SPID, metal identification/loading plate and dealer paperwork. This establishes the visible document association; it does not authenticate every surviving component or current condition. Source photographs are not reproduced.

Owner or seller statements

The dealer’s Goodwrench replacement-engine description, mechanical-work amount, restoration/originality descriptions and ownership history remain attributed claims. The SPID’s recorded LS9/M40/Z84 configuration is separately documented above; it does not prove the currently installed engine or trim is original. The 58,164-mile display remains TMU.

Later research

Rick Carey reports a $41,000 hammer and $45,100 total with commission on July 29, 2021. CLASSIC.COM’s event card gives a last asking price of $39,995, while its reproduced Pederson seller prose says $34,995. Those are differing asking-price displays, not completed sale results; their date relationship has not been established here. The Goodwrench 350 and more than $20,000 in mechanical work are seller-reported later changes.

Open questions

Independently identify the computer-printed form and resolve the seller’s generic build-sheet label; obtain a distinct certification/date label and clearer flat document scans if available. Establish current drivetrain originality, complete ownership continuity, lifetime mileage and present custody. Private purchaser information and source-image reuse remain excluded from publication.

This 1976 Chevrolet K5 Blazer is documented by exact VIN CKL186F124675 across a 2021 Mecum Orlando auction report and a later Pederson’s Classics/CLASSIC.COM listing. The exact VIN proves these are repeat appearances of one vehicle.

Rick Carey’s contemporaneous auction report records a $41,000 hammer and $45,100 total with 10% commission on July 29, 2021. CLASSIC.COM records the later dealer appearance as off market on September 20, 2024, with 58,164 displayed miles TMU and a $39,995 last asking price. The asking price is not a completed sale. CLASSIC.COM’s event card gives a last asking price of $39,995, while its reproduced Pederson seller prose says $34,995. Those are differing asking-price displays, not completed sale results; their date relationship has not been established here.

The Pederson gallery’s recovered SPID, identification/loading plate and dealer options/pricing photographs carry exact VIN CKL186F124675. The SPID records CK10516, 106.5-inch wheelbase, order B5U905, Z84 Cheyenne, LS9 350 V8, M40 Turbo Hydra-Matic, C60, NK7, Skyline Blue and white-top entries. The computer-printed papers name Cobb Motor Company and Flint. These legible records were independently rechecked September 30, 2026 and supersede the earlier statement that no readable papers had been recovered. Their form type and first-generation originality remain separate questions; no paper is treated here as an authenticated assembly-line build sheet. Private purchaser and transaction details are withheld.

The Goodwrench 350 and more than $20,000 in mechanical work are seller-reported later work. Mileage remains TMU. Orlando and Sioux Falls are dated market venues only; current ownership, custody and location are unverified.
