1989 Chevrolet Blazer

Finding a truly untouched late square-body K5 Blazer has become increasingly harder to find, and examples like this are now seldom seen in original condition. Showing just 13,039 original miles, this 1989 Chevrolet Blazer stands as a genuine reference example of how these trucks were built, ordered, and preserved when new. Finished in factory Victory Red in a single-color configuration rather than the more common two-tone treatment, it presents exactly as intended, unmodified, unrestored, and unfiltered. Details throughout reinforce the story, including original underhood finishes, an intact RPO sticker, and its factory Uniroyal Laredo A/T tires, all consistent with a late-1988 build date. This is not a Blazer that has been brought back through restoration. It's never needed one. The exterior reflects the kind of preservation that can only come from minimal use and careful ownership. Finished in factory Victory Red with a full monochromatic presentation, the paint retains its original character and correct factory sheen, with consistent paint-thickness readings throughout that support its unrestored condition. Body panels remain straight, panel fit is clean, trim is intact, and the hardtop shows proper texture and fit. The factory wheels and center caps remain in place, completing a look that feels frozen in time rather than recreated. Unlike restored examples, nothing here feels over-refined or rewritten. It simply looks like a Blazer that avoided the decades most others did not. Under the hood sits the matching-numbers L05 5.7L TBI V8, presenting with original components, finishes, routing, and decals still intact. The engine bay has not been detailed into something it never was, and that honesty matters. Backing the V8 is the factory 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, paired with a 2.73-geared 10-bolt rear axle and the correct NP241 four-wheel-drive transfer case. Factory power steering, power brakes with front discs, and the Z82 factory trailering package remain in place, reinforcing the Blazer's original, well-optioned configuration. The combination reflects how this Blazer was ordered and used, relaxed, capable, and built for real-world driving rather than hard labor. It still rides on its original Uniroyal Laredo A/T tires, sized 31x10.50, mounted to the factory wheels and center caps, further supporting the truck's documented low mileage and careful preservation. Interior condition further supports the survivor narrative. The gray cloth bucket seat interior remains remarkably well preserved, with proper seat shape, firm cushions, and clean upholstery throughout. Door panels, dash, and trim pieces remain well preserved, and the cabin retains the look and feel of a low-mile personal-use vehicle. Factory air conditioning, power windows, power door locks, cruise control, tilt steering, and the original stereo all speak to a well-optioned Blazer ordered with comfort in mind. A vintage under-dash trailer brake controller remains in place, a period-correct addition that aligns with the Blazer's factory trailering package and reinforces its original use rather than detracting from it. This 1989 K5 Blazer is not about upgrades, restorations, or reinterpretation. It is about preservation, correctness, and rarity through restraint. In a market where most survivors have been altered or refreshed, this Blazer remains intact, with its specifications, finishes, and details still aligned exactly as they left the factory. For collectors and enthusiasts who value authenticity over spectacle, it stands as a benchmark late square-body SUV that has simply been allowed to remain what it always was.
