72 Blazer to buy

[geunther]

I had a 72 Blazer that I drove in high school, loved the thing. Now in an attempt to relive my youth I would like to restore one. I stopped to look at one today and wanted to run it by you. It has been a few decades since I owned one and don't know what I used to know about them.

Its in pretty rough shape but is optioned nicely so I am debating on whether it is worth the effort or not. Rockers need replaced because of rot. Entire right rear quarter panel needs replaced from being hit. Left rear quarter panel needs a patch about 36 square inches. It has a few other minor dings. Top in great shape, never appears to have been taken off. Hood good, doors ok. Front fenders ok. Tailgate ok. Original color was ochre.

It has the original 350 and original 205 transfer case. still runs and drives. Factory options include:
Body side molding,
Posi,
Manual throttle,
Power steering,
4 season AC,
Auto trans,
Comfortilt steering,
Tachometer

Not that you can say what it is worth without seeing it, but if you have an idea, please share
