§ V.02What moves a car within the band
Within that band, sport utility cars are the most frequently traded body style in this set (970 of 1,065 sales), and manual cars account for 514 of them. Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of the range is wide.
The spread by variant, printed in full above, is usually wider than the spread by year: a truck at $44,250 and a sport utility at $44,000 are not the same market, and a single median that mixes them describes neither.

§ V.06Questions
What is a 1969–1991 Chevrolet K5 Blazer worth?
A 1969–1991 Chevrolet K5 Blazer sold for a median of $44,444 across 1,065 completed auctions from January 2016 to October 2026 (BidBetter, as of 3 November 2026).
The middle half of those 1,065 sales fell between $26,400 and $77,000 (the typical range), and the full range after cleaning was $4,600 to $440,000.
What affects the price of a 1969–1991 Chevrolet K5 Blazer?
Model year: by year, medians run from $20,150 for 1979 (18 sales) to $83,600 for 1969 (23 sales).
Body style: a truck holds a median of $44,250 on 20 sales, against $44,000 on 970 for a sport utility.
Transmission: Manuals hold a median of $42,700 on 514 sales, against $47,300 on 476 for automatics.
Condition, originality and documented history move a car further than any single specification, which is why the middle half of sales spans $26,400 to $77,000.
Is the Chevrolet K5 Blazer 1969-1991 going up or down in value?
Down. The 184 sales in the 12 months to 3 November 2026 had a median of $42,500, against $44,000 on 177 sales in the 12 months before, a fall of 3.4%. That compares whichever cars came to auction in each year, not the same cars sold twice, so read it as the direction of the market rather than a rate of appreciation.
How many Chevrolet K5 Blazer sales is that based on?
1,065 completed auction sales, from January 2016 to 30 October 2026. The table above lists the 15 most recent, each linked to its auction record. The figures were last rebuilt on 3 November 2026.
What is the difference between the typical range and the full range?
The typical range is $26,400 to $77,000: half of all 1,065 sales fell inside it. The full range is $4,600 to $440,000, the cheapest and dearest sale that survived cleaning. The full range is set by outliers, so it is a boundary rather than a guide to what most cars bring.
Which body style holds its value best?
On this set, sport utility is the most frequently sold at 970 sales with a median of $44,000. The highest median among body styles is truck at $44,250, though it rests on fewer sales. Each variant's median and count are in the table above.
Do manual or automatic cars sell for more?
In this set, manual cars account for 514 of 1,065 sales. Manuals hold a median of $42,700 on 514 sales, against $47,300 on 476 for automatics.
Does mileage change the value?
Mileage is recorded for part of this set, not all of it, so it is not used to adjust the median. It is shown in the sales table wherever the auction record carries it, and you can see the effect directly by comparing rows.
How current is this figure?
Data as of . The figures are rebuilt from completed sales on a schedule, and the date above is the date of the last rebuild, not the date this page was loaded.
§ V.07Method and sources
What these figures are. Every number on this page is computed from completed auction sales of Chevrolet K5 Blazer cars built between 1969 and 1991. The median is the 50th percentile of the sale prices; the typical range is the 25th to 75th percentile; the full range is the lowest and highest sale that survived cleaning. Percentiles are linearly interpolated on the sorted prices.
What is excluded. Asking prices, reserve-not-met results, withdrawn lots and unsold cars are not prices and are not counted. Parts, memorabilia, literature, scale models and other non-vehicle lots are excluded. Sales not made in US dollars are excluded, so these figures describe the dollar market. Duplicate records are removed. Sales below a plausibility floor (5% of the median) and above a ceiling (10× the median) are set aside, because a $22 "911" is a data error rather than a cheap car.
What was set aside. The highest recorded sale in this set is $495,000 (1972 CHEVROLET K5 BLAZER CUSTOM SUV, 24 January 2026), and 1 sale above $447,220 are held out of the median and the ranges: at that price the lot is a different asset, and including it would pull the headline figure away from what a typical car brings.
What it is not. This is not an appraisal or an inspection, and it does not predict what any particular car will bring. Two cars built the same year can differ by more than the whole typical range on condition, originality, documentation and provenance.
The set. 1,065 sales from January 2016 to 30 October 2026, drawn from 10 auction sources, principally Bring a Trailer (580), Barrett-Jackson (417), Mecum (27), Hemmings (14), Cars & Bids (12), Hagerty (6), Acc (3), RM Sotheby's (3), Autohunter (2), Broad Arrow (1). Data as of .
