I know you got plenty of projects but a restoration project on this would be awesome.
True but at the same time I love the patina
Kyle this is the best video ever, I recommend more videos, I love Chevrolet
What the new Blazer should’ve been like.
Heck, I wouldn't have been mad if they rebadged the Australian market Colorado Suv
When he was listening off all the different generation blazers he forgot about the brand new generation one I think like 2017+
Body on frame was better than it’s unibody construction successor
Yes
I'm impressed that you found one in working condition. Not a lot of late 80's Chevy Blazer's around anymore.
I see more 80s square bodies then 1973!1979 models
I have an 85 and we got my wife an 81 last month, we love them.
@@blazerwilliams2260 I've got an 85 as well. Bought it 10 years ago.
New exotic cars are fine, but I really enjoy these types of videos Kyle! Any upgrades planned for this truck?
If this ends up being a restoration/restomod series, it’s a sure thing I’ll be watching every episode.
Wow! An old vehicle review! Haven't seen one of these reviews in a LONG time! Thanks again Kyle! This is awesome!
You should make a restoration series on this Blazer. I didn't know those wheels were an option. My 90 GMC Suburban has those same wheels.
Love it!! Takes me back to the days of my dad and cruising around in his K5 Blazer!!
Ford reintroduces the Bronco, it's wildly popular with thousands of preorders. Chevy reintroduces the Blazer and nobody cares, because it's another mediocre SUV and K5 is now a Kia. Huge missed opportunity GM. Shame too, I really like the K5 Blazer. Good work Kyle.
Correction. Is not an SUV is s crossover.
You’re absolutely correct. The new Blazer is easily GM’s biggest blunder and a shameful missed opportunity.
Something tells me that even if the new blazer and a new (theoretical) K5 blazer sold the same, the new K5 would be a legend and would help the brand value a ton
oh TOTALLY make it into a project!!
Blazers are awesome!
I love these old Blazers they're awesome.
The K5 Is one of the most common american V8 cars you can find here in Italy 👌🏼
One of the last V8. I just love the sound of the engine.
I like how the service engine soon light was on during the majority of in-cab footage
love these square body blazers
I remembered seeing my friend Kaia taking a picture in front of a Blue and White Chevy K5 Blazer and I am not gonna lie, she looked good when taking a picture in front of it
I actually really like that you did this review on this thing in it's current weathered condition. Good stuff as always Kyle 👍👍
At last, I have been waiting for a decade for this video
Finally a 1989 k5 blazer depth review
“She's a squirrel crushing, deer smacking, driving machine!, Silveradoooo”
Awesome video Kyle!
My dad had a truck like this ony a c10 a 76 while with a white and blue bench seat 4 wheel drive 350 v8 never let him down the rust got the best of the truck it was sad to see the truck go many good memories your truck is worth keeping and fixing up even if u don't make a lot of videos on it's worth keeping and fixing up
Hi there. Lovely video. I want one K5, but they are hard to find. Thanks for the video. Please, do a series :)
this is a real blazer although I grew up mostly around mid to late 90's Blazer's which weren't bad either
My family had a 78 then a 86. They were like family members. We loved them. Gas monsters sure, but it was under a dollar a gallon for decades. They were infinitely repairable. We dove the wheels off them. First one got wrecked, the other we drove into dust. I wish I could buy one today. I would get two.
I love seeing that rusty hood go down the road.
Nice blazer. It definitely needs a lot of work but looks like a solid foundation. My 89 k5 is a Scottsdale and it came with a factory power rear window.
Thank you for this! I've been looking at getting a K5 Blazer to trade for my K10 pickup and this showed everything I was curious about that nobody else seemed to go through!
I recently bought my dad's old blazer I love it
A truly beauty!
the patina on you blazer is amazing!
if you can review 1991 chevy suburban v1500 with barn doors
I love The K5 Blazer
Now this is a real Chevy blazer
The new Chevy Blazers are real to soooooooo
@@traciweisenbachCITB No... They aren't anything like this Blazer
@@joshuamorehead6124 yes they are soooooooooo
@blackandgold51 yes they are. Yes they are. Yes they are. Yes they are. Yes they are.
@Saint Fifty One Blazers are just as good as the old ones, and so are the TrailBlazers. Chevy is the best!
The King Kong V8 (as John Davis referred to it in the '89 K5 Blazer list of hits) sounds amazing! If you can restore it and put a new exhaust system that sounds as good as this worn out system does, that would be so cool! 🤟👏
I also noticed that this is a dual-exhaust unit. Didn't know dual exhausts were also available for trucks at that time, I only knew this for the body-on-frame sedans of the period! That's nuts! Haha! 🤣🤟
I really like this car, seems like it's good for a variety of uses, both on and off the road, and the quad-shock front suspension looks strong, if a bit unloved after all these years.
Great choice, Kyle! Show it the love it deserves! ❤🤟
Years ago you reviewed the black ‘85 blazer. Ever since I saw that video at 12 years old it’s now my favorite truck and I daily drive a ‘85 m1009 cucv blazer myself
Very nice video!!! Love the square Blazers and Suburbans
That gauge cluster is something else!
These square body Chevrolet K5 blazers are awesome hopefully it needs cleaning and detailed especially on the inside repaint on the exterior and so on and so forth
Awesome blazer man 👍
Great video as always Kyle. One thing I did notice is it sounds like the starter might be hitting the fly wheel slightly. But great video as always I have been a huge fan for quite some time. Ever since your Lexus ES 350
Please do a video series with this amazing car! We love to see it!!
This is my favorite vehicle style (2 door SUV) and regular cab short bed. Those two are my favorites (with patina).
That is one badass car
Great video.. thank you for taking the time to make this. I second.. third.. fourth.. well whatever position in line agree to a restoration on this one. Before its too late to find quality parts and so forth. Stay safe and be well!
please do a update video on the 240sx as well
Thanks Kyle, now I need to buy one.
Those are sooooo fucking cool and will last forever and simple to work on!
Awesome video Kyle I miss watching you do videos on old cars and trucks like this last time I ever saw you do a video on something this old was back when you did the dealer ship videos I love rewatching them all the time loving the videos great job keep up the good work thumbs up and shared looking forward to more going to finishing catching up on your vids now lol
Wow! The pandemic has really changed you SaabKyle04 !!!!
Hey Kyle! Here’s something amazing you should do: 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee L. Please do it if you can find one.
Make it a series! I’ve got an ‘88 K5 Silverado, ‘85 CUCV M1009 (Blazer) and a ‘79 K5 Cheyenne. So yeah……..I’ll be watching lol.
good old Saabkyle04 style - thx for video
A diamond in the rough 👍🌹
Always nice to see these videos. Is Kyle ever going to do the Start Up, Test Drive & In Depth Review of the Yugo GV?
The exhaust reminds me of that 86 C30 Dually you did a while back.
I have a 91 k5 and still looks brand new
This was a killer video. Still hoping to get lucky and find one here in hawaii...but the Silverado trim so dope
nice review 😍😍
I loved my full sized Blazers. Bought new ones in 74, 77 and 91. It would be great to have one today. Of course they would probably be $75,000. My 74 was loaded the Cheyenne package and almost all options other than air had a sticker of $5700. There weren’t nearly as many options as they have now
Truth. My 85 Silverado came with air conditioning, Power windows and locks, and power rear window. That was luxury back then.
2:02 start up 2:10 noice 2:38 wow 12:00 drive
I would love to see you go through one. Enjoyed the video.
New blazer was a cool vintage truck
Those old k5 blazers are getting up there in price here (Ohio). That one online is probably pushing close to 5 grand. I’ve had a handful of them. Currently have a 88 that’s slowly getting worked on. 👍
I have the exact same blazer besides mines a 90 on a lift n is in very good shape
*Non car people* "Your wrong, the Silverado is the pickup truck man, there's no Silverado blazer." I can just imagine idiots saying that.
I want one of these so bad.
They don't make em like that no more real basic engineering built to last 💪👌
Thanks for the info i just buy on 86 needs like 50 percent restoration.
When he said closest competitor, He also left out the Dodge Ramcharger, But the K5 blazer is my favorite out of all of the competition in it's class (Ford Bronco - Dodge RamCharger).....
Man I really miss your old video formats...
Alot of us do
I'd like a series on this. That being said, I think it's better to finish your other things first.
Man ur k5 blazer would look nice to be restored in light red with white would look nice as crap might get this for first car or something lol
Cool truck man!
Cool Video it is Hard to Find a vehicle like this one anymore 👍 but overall the vehicle looks good shape for it's Age.
Given the state of the engine ?, a 10-40w or 10-30W for cold climate or 15-40w for a climate that has minimally sustained cold weather and if not a high zinc phosphorus oil, use a additive like ZDDP+(1oz per quart for oil with 800 or less parts per million like premium synthetics for example) for the flat tappet lifters(1200 to 1800 is the goal, 2000 ppm will corrode the bearings).
I feel you should just preserve this thing, I love the petina.
I wanted to see it with the top off!
are you planning to do a review on that 86 c10 despite you not restoring it
Saabkyle04 you are my favorite youtuber and in your backlot startup videos what year is that black dodge intrepid.
now this is cool content
Always liked the K5. Did these ever come with a diesel? Also, anyone ever dropped a Duromax in one?
It’s doable but you have to fortify the frame or cut a 3/4 ton K20 frame short
@@FunnyGamerz1115 I think it would be neat to put a CAT diesel in one.
You could get these with the 6.2 Detroit diesel for a while.
Would love one of these but I can never find an affordable one anymore.
I would like one of these brand new ?. beautiful . Bring this sort of Chevy blazer back ? Modernized of course .? In the design ?
11:55 check engine light came on hahaha
Its hard to believe that cars used to run a generation this long 1973 - 1991 and its based on their truck line sharing parts too. back then its like stuff was expected to stay the same for like 10 years these days cars are lucky to stay similar for 5 years, because some journalist farts and is like THIS ISNT COOL ANYMORE and the sheep follow. if this truck existed in present day people would make fun of it like the Nissan Frontier... K5s were pretty badass i hate new GM but these were cool.
Do a build series on this one.
I had an 89 K5 just like this but with a newer Goodwrench engine. That thing was virtually silent. It was weird.
I miss the s10 please make a update video on it, I have a suggestion for it. Install a LED cargo bed light, and do bed liner paint on it
You can always trust your old chevys to start and run along time.
Awesome beater truck for u just imagine if it had some upgrades done to it 👌👌👌👌👌.
Hey I have a question about an old old video of yours. Specifically the 2004 Audi A4.
very beautyful car for restore .
Can you do a Chevy 2002 Express review startup and test drive please?
I hope you do a paint job on this
Sorry you forgot the other competitor, and that was the Dodge Ram charger align with the Ford bronco
If you dont want to do a Restomod on it because of your other projects, you can hold off until next year.
I see you got a check engine light on Kyle
Just something about a SBC startup is almost as nostalgic to me as the PS2 game boot. Idk I'm probably weird for saying that.
