Which Chevrolet Blazer is most collectible?

Quick Answer
The 1969-1972 first-generation K5 Blazers, with their fully removable tops, are the most collectible, prized like the early Bronco. The 1973-1987 square-body Blazers are rising fast too, especially clean, rust-free four-wheel-drive trucks. Removable-top examples carry the strongest premiums.

Early and removable-top Blazers lead.

The picks

  • 1969-1972: first-gen, full removable top, the blue-chip K5.
  • 1973-1987 square-body: hugely popular now, with the deep C/K parts supply.

Buyer's note

Rust in the floors, rockers, and the top area is the big cost; a solid, rust-free truck is worth the premium.
