Blazer vs Another make and model

If money was no object would you still be driving your 69-72 Blazer?
What other classic or modern car would get you to ditch your Blazer?

Re: Blazer vs Another make and model

good question, 1st off I think your post should have some reasonable limit like say 50K, cause no limit everyone would say some $200K car.

My Blazer is special to me but I've always wanted a 69 RS/SS Camaro convertable, hugger orange with white racing stripes, yup I think that would do it.

Just like this one except a convert.

Re: Blazer vs Another make and model

It would be hard as heck to pick just one. If money were no object I'd have a warehouse full of sweet rides. Here are a few of my favorites though.

You could have my blazer for a C6 ZO6, I might would even give you my 2wd and 4wd if it was blue or black.

Re: Blazer vs Another make and model

Are you talkin' daily driver or garage queen? Huge difference.

Hands down fun to drive "want it' car...1970 'Cuda - 440 6pak/4spd car!

Daily driver,... just give me an old chevy truck please!
Money's no object? Then give me a nicer old chevy truck to drive.

JMO but this is SUCH an unfair question/comparison...

Re: Blazer vs Another make and model

I must agree....money is the object keeping me from having a blazer....and the warehouse would be full......I would have to say it would come down to a 1964 Pontiac GTO running a 389 and a TPI setup, a 1963 Split window vette running a crazy FI 327, or a 69 camaro with a built 302 (yes, chevy made a 302) and a T56 behind it all!
But if money were no object.....I would just buy the three cars above, a blazer, my truck.......and maybe two other vehicles so I could drive a different one every day!

Re: Blazer vs Another make and model

For a daily driver for me a truck/SUV can't be beet, but I would love a nice weekend only driver, like a Mach1, or a Buick GSX, 68 GT 390 Mustang, Shelby Cobra, 96-97 LT4 SS Camaro, 02 Z06.......I could go on all day lol

Re: Blazer vs Another make and model

I have the Black Camaro as pictured above (just not as nice) It is the 70 RS/SS in my sig. I have to have an 06 Z06, that is just BAD!! I have owned A LOT of Cars over the years, but money is what kept me from keeping/finishing them. I had a 56 2dr wagon, a 70 Super Bee, 69 Chevelle (built 454/4-speed), 72 BBC Monte (all Original) etc, etc. I made money on all of them over what I paid, but I wish I still had them all!! I invisioned the (original paint (copper) bucket, console, 4-speed w/pistol grip, 383) Bee with a crate Hemi, no not the new junk, and BIG hemi! Paid $600 for it and sold it for $3500 two weeks later after doing nothing to it. I needed the cash and I bought a K5, anyways. I like the trucks I have, but I'd like to have the finished versions without the cost of doing them?! Is that allowed in this dream game? I am now on the look out for a 67 Chevelle to build in my brother's memory, I'd actually put the 67 'Velle before the Z06 because my brother is missed dearly.

Re: Blazer vs Another make and model

If money was no object, I'd have a General Lee replica. I'd even install the horn.

I'd buy another station wagon. I like 66-67 Novas or Chevelles. I've already had a 1971 Chevelle with cowl induction. It is sure hard to haul anything but a$$. So far I don't have a big enough a$$ to devote an entire vehicle to hauling it, and have few places that I need to go with smok'n tires.

Re: Blazer vs Another make and model

Money no object?Then I wouldn`t have to choose.I`d definately want at least two 69/72 Blazers because there is nothing like them(yes,like Kurt).Then,every configuration of 67/72 GM offered,one of each body-style from day one,at least a couple El Caminos,an old iron hot rod coupe,and if there was any money left,a`57 Vette.Other brand?I don`t think so.Did I mention a`58 Sedan Delivery or`55 Nomad?

We`re not talking motorcycles or boats,correct?
