WIW...trying to decide tonight to buy tomorrow...
If you guys can help me out I'm looking at a blazer that I honestly want to buy and finish/flip to fund my truck project. All my truck funds have gone into medical bills for my wife and allergy treatments for my daughter so I need more truck money I know the market is tight but I saw this truck on craigslist and went to see it today and think I can make some money off of it. Colorado rust free truck. 71 4x4 blazer that is basically ready for paint and carpet/interior to be done. Has a NEW 2" lift with dual shocks, stabilizer, brand new 33" BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A's on 6 lug rally wheels.
Rebuilt (at a good local shop w/receipts) 350 painted and chromed out with RV cam, 30 over with edelbrock intake and 600cfm carb w/ elec. choke. Rebuilt TH350 with shift kit, new factory stall torque converter, and SS lines Transfer case has new seals Differentials with new seals New battery good battery tray New wiring harness New brake lines/booster New heater core and blower motor Complete dual exhaust with coated headers, exhaust pipe, magnaflow mufflers, and nice tips out the back. Body is excellent for the year with a few patches that will need some work but nothing major. Rockers were replaced and were done well. Rocker boxes are original and look almost new. He opened them up and POR15'd the insides. Frame was blasted and sprayed with POR15. New passenger Door (truck cut down) fits well Original driver's door in great shape no rust Has original passenger door which I would sell in decent shape with dents not rust Pass fender is original and perfect Driver's is good aftermarket and fits well Has three aftermarket fenders (extras) to sell Has new inner fenders Has FOUR sets of buckets. Original utilities-decent shape with backs Two other bucket sets need redone- one 71 and one 73 model And one CHERRY set of 71-72 buckets with all hardware, tracks, tilt forward passenger seat, NEW FOAM, NEW covers, and a nice console with a couple small cracks (HOW MUCH ARE THESE WORTH BY THEMSELVES?- only thing missing is the backs)NICE Double wall top freshly painted white with a very nice hatch and hinges and a new chrome latch. NO CRACKS Firewall and inner fenders/dash painted factory blue color. Inside floor and undercarriage were undercoated with spray in bedliner New inner fenders already painted black Cherry rad support painted black New aftermarket gate (better quality- thick steel) Chrome vent windows with good chrome and seals He replaced the foot vent seals and blasted and POR15'd inside New Heater controls (chrome nice looking) New glovebox insert, light New firewall insulation and cardboard installed New ductwork for heater and heater box detailed painted black New white faced gauges, bezel etc he paid 400 for. White faced tach (sunpro) Painted around windshield frame, seam sealed, and put new windshield with rubber seal Like I said, basically needs final body work, a couple metal patches a the bottom of the bedsides(to do a little better job instead of bondo over them) paint the exterior, and then the interior put together and rubber seals. I'm thinking I would spend around 2-3K getting this finished. How much do you think it is worth now and how much with professional paint job with the rest of the details I gave? I'm hoping it would be worth 10-12K finished to make a few thousand for the time I will put into it. I've been looking at craigslist and ebay and 4X4's are all over the place for value... Any info appreciated!!!
