Blazer vs Another make and model - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

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?

teamradrz1 · 03-03-2006, 02:23 AM

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.

*Medicanman71* · 03-03-2006, 03:07 AM

A nicer blazer

Tynee · 03-03-2006, 03:29 AM

MOney is the object that keep sme from HAVING a blazer

TX72K5 · 03-03-2006, 03:49 AM

1972 Corvette Convertible. I plan to have both though. Mike

13lazer · 03-03-2006, 05:17 AM

if money were no object i'd have to say helicopter. i would set my blazer on fire for a helicopter.

J-Rod · 03-03-2006, 06:42 AM

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.

blazerboy72 · 03-03-2006, 07:25 AM

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.

vtblazer · 03-03-2006, 09:04 AM

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...

shelby987 · 03-03-2006, 09:47 AM

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!

SLIMJIM · 03-03-2006, 09:59 AM

The only thing I would give up my 2 wheel drive Blazer for would be a 2wd Jimmy.....

Jason915 · 03-03-2006, 10:18 AM

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

**71blksuper4x4** · 03-03-2006, 01:27 PM

I'd trade my 71 Super 4x4 for an Ls6 chevelle, then I'd have matching 'velles. Sweet

70rs/ss · 03-03-2006, 02:19 PM

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.

makovai · 03-03-2006, 03:48 PM

Money is an object, but i still own this money pit.

boundstaffpress · 03-03-2006, 05:24 PM

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.

**pound41** · 03-03-2006, 06:26 PM

69 Double COPO Camaro All aluminum 427 w/Turbo 400

71RestoRod · 03-03-2006, 06:46 PM

Without going into great detail.. something that would "fit in" with this crowd...

I got that horn on my Yellow Blazer.

k5keith · 03-03-2006, 07:04 PM

money is always a object. but im not sure what it looks like.the truth is a blazer is like a enduro motorcycle.it will go anywhere anytime and you dont have to think about it. let the hotties in the short skirts drive the low sports cars i'll be up here looking down from my blazer!

jbon64 · 03-03-2006, 07:41 PM

**special-K** · 03-04-2006, 10:29 AM

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?

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 03-04-2006, 11:20 AM

1972 corvette or just give me the check and I could put it into my 2 money pits I have now...
