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.
