Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

At least you are in the south and should have a little better luck finding one. I'm stuck up here in Maine where there is hardly a first gen blazer to be found, let alone a 2wd. Even if I could find one up here, it's more than likely to be a pile of rust.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Hey buck, I purchased a squarebody from your neck of t he woods. Pictures looked real good. When it arrived here I thought I would replace the interior from a rusty Michigan blazer I have. I got a good surprise after I removed the carpet. The complete floor had large rust holes. Removed the entire floor and replaced it with a pickup floor. I had to cut the floor in half from front to back to make it work. The roof even had rust holes. I have been working on it all winter. I have over 100 pictures of the work done the frame had large rust scabs on it. I bought some white vinegar and lemon juice at the dollar store and kept spraying it down and that stuff really does eat up the rust. I was shocked. Cut the roof off thru the cowl and behind the doors and did the same on my Michigan blazer. Got everything welded now and it looks pretty good but still needs work.
Don't worry about your cab corners Scratch your fanny a few times and it will all come together. No More Florida vehicles for me they are all yours my friend.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I called about that one. It isn't a true 2wd it is a converted 2wd.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

If you want a 2wd Blazer to drive and have fun with, who cares if it HAD a front driveshaft. I went crazy a couple years back and put mine for sale; didn't get a single bite at 20g's! I've got that in receipts....never mind a factory canadian 2wd Blazer to start with. I'd convert one in a heartbeat!

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I'm sure his is much nicer and better done than mine, but check my build thread for my $40 rail pads.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

58K is cheap compared to what you'd pay buy the EXACT same type of resto mod of a 69 Camaro, or 70 Chevelle or any mid 60's Vette, or Challenger or 'cuda or Mustang or pick any popular muscle CAR. And this Blazer is much more UNIQUE with all the same technology, quality and awesomeness of any of them. And yet many still think that quality, professional resto modded C-10s and Blazers should be maxed out at 20K........maybe give it another few years and our trucks and Blazers will see the respect they deserve. And before I jump off my soapbox, our Blazers are much more rare in production numbers and numbers of survivors than most of the models listed above!

The ad has been deleted. What was he asking for it? Engine? Mods?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

anybody want to see the complete build thread ? PM me

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

$8500. It has spent the last 20 years in Missouri. Older restoration, with a real ugly front flame job on it. I think it was overpriced by $2000 but that may just be me. I think it had a vortec 305 in it but not sure.

I called and asked what the first two letter of the vin was, he replied with CK.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

If the metal is all good and the 2wd conversion was done "right", $8,500 seems pretty cheap, even with the awful flames, IMHO. :smoke:

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Wow very cool! One of the most orig looking 2wd i've seen..

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Very cool. Wish I had the $$$.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Called him to check on the build date in hopes it could shed light on my build date (thanks to smbrouss70 for the tip). Seemed like a nice guy...and like a legit one owner survivor. I think all things considered it's a good value 70 2wd survivor complete...they certainly aren't getting cheaper.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

CRAP!!! I hate that I am stuck in this '71! AHHHHHH!!

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I would feel good about paying $15,900 for it if it is truly rust free. At this point I am very skeptical of the use of the term "rust free".

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

He put more pics of it up on eBay. It may be in better shape than mine when I bought it, with the exception of the CB antenna cut in the bedside. It has been repainted, but it does have the Protect-o-plate.

Yep....

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I wonder whats up with the sealant on the right kick panel...

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Good eye. Might be nothing, then again....

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

There's no such thing as rust free on anything over 5 years old. There barely rust free from the factory. Even if it's been rebuilt and painted there's rust somewhere. I can believe low rust as a description though.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Somebody needs to buy this, before I have to get divorced. I even tried telling her that we could have his and hers '70 2wd's. It didn't work though. :lol:

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I just stumbled over that one on Ebay and came here to let you all know. Does look like a good one. He just picked it up on CL recently?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

It was on CL around $10gs & I think that's tops for it. I wouldn't pay $16gs for it that's for sure.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

It's absolutely "to each his own" but if a person wants and original paint non-rust bucket 70-72 2wd Blazer they are going to have to pay this kind of money. The guy who's trying to flip this one was very fortunate he got to it first, there is money to be made for sure. I personally would have kept it to build. And I would have given it the full Porterbuilt treatment!!! :devil:

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Guessing having a top would be desirable?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

so guys whats all the money on this blazer?as of right now there has been no bids placed on it at 16k just wondering what you guys think as far as value the way it sits right now?My thoughts are 12k would be a good buy.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Sure it is a nice Blazer, but it has absolutely no options on it. Not even a center console. That is why there is no excitement about it. It is just kind of uninteresting. For me I wouldn't go over 10k If I had any interest, but what do I know?

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

yeah your right!! also I wonder if it is 6 lug bolt pattern?I think the advantage here is the time and money saved on sheet metal if in fact it is rust free who knows?If the motor and trans is good do static drop with some wheels and roll would be the game plan.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

I paid right at $10k for mine, which was in a similar condition, only original paint but a little rust on the driver's rocker. Mine was bought with no top, and a junk interior which originally came with only a driver's seat, so I have more than doubled the cost on it since. Contrary to popular belief, most of the early Blazers that I have seen were fairly stripped down, but in my mind that doesn't make them any less desirable.

Do "I" think it is worth what he is asking? Yes. If I would have bought this one instead, my interior cost would have been much much less. Of course the suspension and drivetrain costs would have still been the same.

BTW, it will have 6-lug drums on all 4 corners.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
 

Thanks Steven I appreciate the info!!! btw looks like you got a good one.

Re: 2wd Blazer and Jimmy's find thread
