Amity Island Police Chief Brody’s 1975 Chevy Blazer
While the blockbuster movie JAWS centers around an ominous shark terrorizing a small beach community, one star emerged while whizzing along the sandy roads of Amity Island. It was the police chief’s everyday four-wheeler, a 1975 Chevy Blazer with the top removed.
The Chevrolet Blazer was launched in 1969 when the public demand for non-traditional, more rugged vehicles exploded. The Ford Bronco and Jeep Wrangler rounded out the top three, but Chevy wanted to stand apart, so they built the Blazer on their “truck” line, offering a more heavy-duty, robust, and durable experience.
The Blazer was so popular, it received regular revamps, facelifts, and added features in its second year. In 1971, a new, massive grille was introduced, with only the Chevy Bowtie logo in the middle.
In 1973 the Blazer got a major makeover when GM trucks when to the “square body” style. The second generation Blazer was 2.5” longer, and introduced the iconic, and revered, removable top.
Chief Brody’s 1975 K5 Chevrolet Blazer, came standard with a 350 cubic inch V8, with 4-barrel carburetor, and a TH350 automatic transmission. It has full-time 4-wheel drive, a 2-inch round, rubber padded roll bar, and signature red spinning police bubble lights.
Pictured in the new two-tone gold and white exterior with a tan vinyl interior, the second-generation Blazer came equipped with a fully-removable white fiberglass roof. (Perfect for Chief Brody’s “Shark Watch” cruising along the beach.)
While Brody would not admit it, the Blazer had great amenities like air conditioning, power steering, and an auxiliary battery. Built for exactly what you see in the movie, the vehicle used was “stock” with little modifications outside mounts for cameras.
If you want to recreate a Summer sensation Blazer of your own, bolt in a world-class FRASER remanufactured engine and head to the beach!
