2nd Gen Historical Values over last Decade
- Thread starter Chief Brody
- Start date
It looks accurate for what I paid for mine in May of 2010.
Drop the Concours column, nobody will achieve that one.

I'm sure they have an guide on what the difference is between good and fair also, I'd like to see that. Plus, this goes for the crowd that would consider an axle swap something that would detract from the value of the vehicle, they want it as close to stock as possible if I'm not mistaken. But it's a good starting point!
2nd generation being 73-87(91)?
What particular year of 1st gen?
I actually had to think about this...My brain was telling me that 1st Gen was 69-72, 2nd Gen 73-75, 3rd gen 76 -91.
Part catalogs break them into 73-87
I can't remember.

‘72 Blazer ... not that I’d ever entertain the idea of selling mine but just out of curiosity. But it’d be nice to see all years of 1st gens.
Once again, forget the Concours row...Value is currently $15,300 ~ $34,100 for a Fair to Good. That's a wide range and anything is only worth what somebody is willing to pay for it...but this the classic market value stated by Hagerty.
Notice that they tripled value in the last 3 years.

A real good driver would fit somewhere between Fair and Good or between #4 and #3.
I was just looking at hagerty value on my 77 Jimmy and in the "fair" category it comes up at $13,700 that's just crazy to me, I sure as hell wouldn't spend that much for it lol.

Which I'd suggest can be taken with a few grains of salt. Classic car insurers can charge more for insurance if they declare some vehicles are worth a higher amount. My valuation guestimates are based on how much a minimally rusted truck costs, combined with how much it costs (paint, parts & labor) to get the truck up to factory showroom new original condition, which is where the collector market value is found. Add a premium to the total cost for rarity. Then, a buyer can look at how much he'd save in having a ready-to-drive vehicle compared to starting from scratch on his own. Naturally, the paint, parts & labor costs go up with inflation, but the costs are what they are. That's where I see a problem with the Blazer Chalets and GMC Jimmy Casa Grandes, that some guy is telling me a Chalet is worth $30 grand that still needs correct restoration of the camper unit and various other fixes, while I see another barn find rig in decent enough condition that -- after applying the paint, parts & labor costs to it -- tallys up to $10 grand or more below the $30 grand rig.
Psh. They dont even list a 91 v3500. Probably good so yall blazer guys dont get offended lol
I agree with this. There is the crazy auto auction price and there is the classic insurance industry insure price, and then there is the "what's it is really worth on the street price". How much are they really selling for, that's what i'd like to know. You can appraise something and it is conjecture. But what are they selling for in these various conditions today? What does a 1975 Chevy Blazer in very good driver condition, minimal flaws?
