Chevrolet K5 Blazer 3rd Gen

The third-generation K5 Blazer, sold from 1989 to 1991, marked the end of an era for Chevrolet's full-size, 2-door SUV. While sharing its platform with the long-running 'square body' trucks, this final iteration received a new grille with single rectangular headlamps and standard throttle-body fuel injection for its V8 engines. It was the last K5 Blazer to feature a fully removable rear fiberglass top, a characteristic that defines its appeal to many enthusiasts.

Collectors appreciate these Blazers for their blend of classic truck styling and improved usability. The fuel-injected 350 V8 and available 4-speed automatic transmission make them much easier to live with than their carbureted predecessors. With massive aftermarket support and a reputation for toughness, they are a popular choice for restoration, off-road builds, and daily driving.

The market for these final K5s is strong, following the upward trend of all vintage trucks and SUVs. While many were used as workhorses, clean, rust-free examples are becoming harder to find and command a premium. The wide price range reflects the vast difference between tired project trucks and well-preserved survivors or high-quality restorations.

Based on 36 recent sales, prices range from $2,550 for project vehicles to $35,250 for well-preserved or restored examples.
