There’s no slipping under the visual radar with this one, wowie! As a big fan of vehicle graphics and 1990s vehicles, I heartily approve of this 1995 Chevrolet Blazer Centurion Edition, modified by a company more known for making four-door Ford Broncos and other Ford conversions. It can be found here on craigslist in Puyallup, Washington, and the seller is asking $3,900. $3,900?! Dang. Here is the original listing, and thanks to Curvette for the tip!
If you don’t have a crowd around you at every gas station or grocery store with this candy-coated S-10-based Blazer, then I don’t know what’s wrong with the world. Although with most people being focused on their phones more than anything else, they may not give it a second look. It sure stands out from the black, black, and black vehicles of 2026. Ok, there are a few silver and white ones, but black vehicles with black wheels and black window tint seem to be the new rage.
White Pigeon, Michigan-based Centurion Vehicles have been shown here on Barn Finds over the years, but most have been modified Ford Broncos, turning them into four-door models before Ford jumped into that market. I counted 14 Ford Centurion conversions of Broncos, pickups, and vans, 14 Buick Centurions, and one Fiberfab Centurion. No GMs. They also converted Ford pickups and vans, and Buick made a Centurion model. There was also a Fiberfab Centurion, but I didn’t see any Chevy or other General Motors conversions being shown here. There was a Centurian (with an “a”) garbage truck, so there’s that. There are a few Chevrolet Centurion conversions floating out there on the internet, but I didn’t see another one like this, other than a 1996 in this exact same configuration that sold on Cars & Bids a few years ago for about the same price.
Chevy offered the S-10 Blazer from 1983 through 2005 in North America, and this second-generation model was made from 1994 for the 1995 model year until 2005. This 4×4 looks like it’s in excellent condition. I can’t believe it’s less than $4,000; you can’t get anything even halfway decent for that price anymore. With just under 87,000 miles, it’s said to be in great overall condition inside and out.
Sadly, there aren’t even remotely enough photos of this Centurion Blazer. You already know there isn’t an engine photo, and there’s nothing showing the cargo area, and no underside photos. The engine should be Chevrolet’s 4.3-liter Vortec OHV V6 with a healthy 200 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque when new. It’s sent through a 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels when needed, and they say it “runs great and drives excellent.” It looks as perfect as it gets to me, and the price can’t be beat. Have any of you seen a Blazer Centurion? Less than $4,000 for this nice of a vehicle seems like a deal to me.
Bordering on ostentatious but not to the extremes we’ve seen of other cars (“think “Superfly” replica Cadillacs). For a 31 year old S-10 Blazer this is really well taken care of, more so with just 86+k miles on it! Every Vortec V6 we had was a solid motor and ran well into triple the mileage this one has.
Great price, nice car, great commuter.
Built 10 miles from my house…
That company has went by the wayside long ago…
Here is another one…

Wait a minute…… Less than 4 grand and it runs? And drives? And stops? I’d want to hook my peepers o the underside for rust issues, but I don’t see anything jumping out at me on the topside. Scotty is right, except I do disagree on one point he made. There’s also that non metallic battleship grey thats become so popular too ( which is ironically growing on me, I’d take it over black or white ). This looks pretty good overall inside and out. And I agree with Nevadahalfrack, that 4.3 V6 is one stout motor and will just run and run and run. I never knew Centurion did Blazers only Ford vehicles. This one looks interesting. Thanks Scotty.
Sweeeeet!
A running, driving vehicle with no apparent needs for $4k seems most inexpensive. It’s surprising the ad is still up after 5 days. My expectation would be for a flipper to quickly buy it and put it on eBay. Could it be the Centurion graphics are not a big selling point in 2026?
too much going on for me with the paint. gussied up blazer in the end.
Definitely screams 90s with the stickers with the lower mileage I’m surprised they aren’t asking $15 grand for it. Personally I would get rid of the graphics and just drive it, she should have another 200k miles left
Mixed emotions on four wheels. Conversion trucks and vans were still an aspiration for people in the 90s. Then vans went out of style and the factory made their own truck trims that didn’t need the upgrade. Removing the graphics will end up looking like a fat guy in a speedo. My biggest gripe was when they would add a wooden upper console to the trucks. Always seemed to crack my head on those. This is a nice ride destined to reside at a rundown apartment or mobile home park.
We had a 4WD 2000 Blazer we bought new. Only 2 issues with it, one major, one minor, both well known issues.
The auto transmission failed early on and we found out that it was a common failure, but GM refused to issue a recall.
The drivers door started to sag, which was another common problem. There were remedies for it, but we just knew that we had to lift the door up while closing it.
This one is nice and looks like a great deal.
cant see the outside when sitting inside
I agree with you that the value of this Blazer should be greater than the asking price…but USAA doesn’t! I have a 2004 Blazer Xtreme that my Dad bought new. Pristine with 58,000 miles on it. Got hit in the rear by an unmarked cop car, cop just going home from work. Caved in the tailgate and rear bumper, didn’t even break the glass rear hatch. USAA totaled it and gave me $3700 for it. A nation wide internet search couldn’t find a replacement for less than $10K. I bought it back from them for $800 and had it fixed…total cost $4550, but now it has a salvage title. Looks and drives like a new one, now has 167,000 miles on it. I’ve had three vehicles totaled in the 50+ years I’ve had USAA insurance (none my fault) and have NEVER gotten enough to find a similar replacement vehicle for the payout plus deductible. And USAA is supposed to be one of the best! Thanks, I feel better now!
Done gone!
