79 K5 Cheyenne BLAZER

So this 79 K5 is sitting down the street with a for sale sign.
It's a looker for sure.
I called the guy and he said it has been completely gone through, motor, AC, etc.
I looked inside the window and the interior looks new.
He is asking 15K. He said the color is Hawaiian blue.
What are your thoughts. Not sure on the value.
Thanks

Re: 79 K5 Cheyenne BLAZER

What's with the paint behind the door handle? Is it a scratch protector? For that kind of money, it'd have to be perfect and restored to the way it was on the showroom floor - no orange motors with headers, aluminum intake, chrome breather etc. Same for the interior. The only thing I see that bugs me a little is the vent windows are original and not refurbed. That's not a big deal. I'd like to see more of the truck but 15K is too much for me.

Good copy.
The price seemed step to me but after seeing a 72 go for 75k at Barrett Jackson lately I thought maybe 15k was not to far of a stretch.

Not sure what the motor looks like, but I think I'll have a look this weekend and go from their in determining a good buy price.

I'm not familiar with these years, but the interior has blue factory looking high back seats with a floor console. I may check it out this weekend and get some better PICS, inside and out.

Re: 79 K5 Cheyenne BLAZER

I actually think that's a pretty good price if it's rust free. I just got done building one and you can save yourself a whole lot of time and headache and just buy one done!

I like it. To get one to that stage would be far more $. Go for it!
