Do you have a 1972 Plaid Blazer/Jimmy?

(YG8) Special Promotional

Unfortunately the original rear bench seat was recovered and the front seats are long gone. Currently in primer. On the fence between going back to mostly original or custom.

Yes it is and nicely equipped. The Flint built examples don’t call out “Highlander Plaid” like the St Louis built examples. My guess would be orange plaid but the RPO is obscured. Is it possible the rear seat has an OE cover underneath?

Is there an example of a different color plaid than the original body color?

For this one it looks as if the third character from the trim RPO was a 6 as in 686 orange. It’s a good question, off hand I’m not recalling any orange K5s with gray, green, or blue plaid but they’re all blending together as time creeps by

Took a closer pic, looks like “686” to me. The 524 orange and plaid orange interior look good to me from what I’ve found online. Thanks for confirming it’s a Highlander. Will go back to stock-ish on this one (eventually).
