Hi Joe,



We custom ordered and bought the 72 Blazer from Van Chevrolet in Overland Park, Kansas so we would have a great vehicle to travel to Colorado for our annual camping trip. After about two years Colorado was calling and we moved to Lakewood,Colorado and of course brought the 72 with us. I used the 72 as my only car to commute to work and take camping trips in the mountains. As time moved on my company supplied me a company car and the 72 was stored and only driven in bad weather and vacations. Our most memorable experience with the 72 is the camping trip to the Great Sand Dunes National Monument. We loved this camping area and as we would explore the dunes we would take the 72 into the sand and the kids had a ball. One trip we decided to follow the river running through the dunes and in an attempt to forge the river I stalled the 72 in the river and she sank to the axels. Many hundreds of dollars later we were pulled out by a wrecker and taken to the Chevrolet deals in Alamos,Colorado to have the sand removed from the wheel bearings. Our family had wonderful times traveling in the 72. Kids grew up, no more camping so again I parked the 72 for years and eventually sold it to a gentleman in Golden, CO
