1989 Chevrolet Blazer K5 Silverado 1500 SUV

Video
Description
The beneficiary of dedicated single ownership from new, this 1989 Chevrolet 1500 K5 Blazer presents a rare opportunity to own an authentic 4x4 time capsule. Meticulously maintained over its pampered 52,852 mile life, handwritten service notes in the original manufacturer’s document the previous owner's fanatical upkeep including applying WD-40 to the undercarriage to protect it after each time he washed it. Beyond an ultra-low-mile truck, discovering one so fastidiously cared for opens a portal back to 1989 when these iconic 4x4s first carved out the SUV category.

Exterior
The red paint presents beautifully across arrow-straight steel bodywork wearing an enduring depth and gloss you’d only see on trucks spared exposure and abuse for three decades. Bumpers and stainless brightwork still shine just as Chevy intended thanks to unwavering stewardship in preserving this K5’s integrity. Customary mud flaps guard the lower body edges while a trailer hitch in the rear along with two front stainless steel recovery hooks stand ready for towing and off-road recovery missions. A bright white removable hard top in great condition shelters an interior seemingly untouched by time.

Interior
Remaining utterly original, Slate Gray cloth bucket seats up front and a bench seat out back coddle occupants in vintage comfort with matching door panels and color-keyed carpeting that defies scarcely 52,000 miles registered on its odometer. All stainless garnish pieces retain luster worthy of a show field rather than the rugged trails you’d expect this Blazer to have tackled. Creature comforts outfitted from the factory like power door locks, power windows including rear window, climate control A/C and a Delco AM/FM cassette deck continue functioning flawlessly as designed even today. The four-spoke steering wheel frames clear instrumentation including an 85-mph speedometer, voltmeter, temperature and oil pressure gauges.

Mechanicals
The 5.7L throttle body injected 350 cubic inch V8 integral to Chevrolet’s dominance feeds 210 galloping horsepower through a 4-speed automatic overdrive transmission. As equipped exclusively for 1989 K5 Blazers, the NP241 2-speed transfer case permits shifting from 2WD to AWD on the fly and integrates a speedometer cable along with automatic front locking hubs for max traction. The 1/2 ton truck with 5.7L engine was rated in the 6001-7000 lbs. gross vehicle weight range from the factory and built in Flint, Michigan. Power steering helps maneuver this classic while power-assisted front disc and rear drum brakes supply ample stopping force. Highway manners come from 31x10.50R15 Uniroyal Laredo all-terrain tires at home on or off pavement mounted to 15” rally wheels with ample tread depth remaining.


As the pioneers that paved the way for the SUV category, first generation K5 Blazers occupy an important chapter in 4WD history. Finding one boasting meticulous single ownership with excellent maintenance habits and records strips away years to experience what capability blended with civility these trendsetters delivered when new in 1989. Be sure to contact us quickly before this one is snatched up as these Blazer’s are seeing a fast rise in desirability and value as they age.
