extraordinary 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne is a
once-in-a-lifetime discovery, an all-original, time-capsule
survivor preserved with only 50 original miles. Finished in a
striking Blue exterior over a White and Blue plaid interior, it
stands as one of the most untouched examples of GM's iconic
full-size SUV to surface in decades. Its originality is further
supported by its original export documents and owner's manual,
offering a rare glimpse into a vehicle that has remained virtually
frozen in time since the late 1970s.The Blazer's remarkable story
begins in Caracas, Venezuela, where it was delivered new to its
sole registered owner. The owner, who worked acquiring vehicle
fleets for private and public entities, received the Blazer as part
of his compensation. Rather than putting it into use, he parked the
truck shortly after acquiring it, where it remained stored in the
same open-sided structure for roughly 45 years. Shielded from the
elements just enough to preserve its components yet showing light
patina from decades of long-term rest, the truck remained untouched
until its rediscovery in 2024.Powered by a 350ci V8 paired with an
automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive transfer case, this
K5 Blazer Cheyenne retains its factory mechanical configuration and
original under-hood components. Prior to export to the United
States, it underwent inspection, servicing, and careful detailing
to ensure safe operation. Only a handful of deteriorated or missing
items, such as the seat belts, side mirrors, wheels, and tires,
were replaced, all with period-correct or OEM-style components to
preserve authenticity.Inside, the Blazer's cabin is an
extraordinary showcase of 1970s Chevrolet design, featuring its
original plaid upholstery, factory dashboard, and Cheyenne-trim
interior details that remain impressively intact. The removable
hardtop, original panels, and preserved hardware make the truck
feel like a brand-new 1979 Blazer pulled straight from a showroom
floor. With its ultra-low mileage, original materials, and
preserved finishes, it offers a rare and immersive look at the
era's craftsmanship and character.For collectors and
preservationists, this 1979 Chevrolet K5 Blazer Cheyenne represents
the pinnacle of survivor-grade vintage SUVs. With its one-owner
history, extraordinary documentation, fully original presentation,
and unbelievable mileage, it stands as a museum-worthy example of
one of Chevrolet's most iconic 4x4s. Opportunities to acquire a
vehicle this untouched, and with a story this compelling, are
exceedingly rare, making it a standout piece for any serious
enthusiast.
