The K5 Chevy Blazer is hugely popular these days, tempting car collectors and enthusiasts with its classic good looks, off-roader heritage, and seemingly endless customizability. Now, rapper, singer/songwriter, and producer Future has acquired this stunning K5 Blazer pieced together by Wisconsin-based auto-builder Ringbrothers.
The bespoke Chevy Blazer was recently posted to social media by the official Ringbrothers Instagram feed (@ringbrothers), and the details on this thing are impressive, to say the least.
Hailing from the 1971 model year, this Chevy Blazer is covered in BASF British Racing Green paint, which looks blue in certain light. The exterior also comes with a bevy of custom touches, such as a carbon fiber hood and tailgate, plus 18-inch HRE wheels finished in gold.
Inside the cabin is custom tan seating from Upholstery Unlimited, plus a custom glove box door and gauges. The stereo is also top-shelf, with components sourced from JL Audio.
Complementing the tunes in the cabin are lovely internal combustion noises provided by the 6.2L V8 LS3 engine, which exhales through a free-flowing Flowmaster exhaust system, producing 430 horsepower. The ‘eight connects to the 4L80-E automatic transmission.
“We first started building Blazers a few years back, and they’ve really taken off in popularity since then,” said Ringbrothers co-owner, Jim Ring. “There is no assembly line at our shop, as each build is completed by hand, bespoke to the owner’s request. There is no other Blazer in the world like this one.”
Ringbrothers has been turning out tons of impressive builds lately, with one recent example including the Chevy Camaro Valkyrja shown at SEMA last year.
“We’re humbled that people continue to come to us for special projects like this,” said Ringbrothers co-owner, Mike Ring. “We realize that our customers could get a new Ferrari or Lamborghini but choose us instead. It’s an honor we don’t take lightly, so we put our heat into each project. We’re glad Future appreciates that.”

I'm not a 4x4 but more of a lowered truck lover and have been since forever ( 50 years in the business and 64 years living it) but this type of ride is just one of the many fascinating specialties that keep our hobby/industry alive. And those big fat tires n wheels roll perfectly with those huge wheel wells. Congrats to the Ring bros and the buyer. Let's keep our wonderful industry alive by supporting all areas of this hobby.
Now that's the chevy blazer and not this idiotic crossover passing off as a blazer.
the K5 and the S10 blazer were the real blazers.
Of course wildly popular!!....Why would GM want to make a modern day version?
Maybe create a new sure success model and keep up with unique products from Ford and FCA?.....hmmmm....nah. Why bother.
