Is this 72 Jimmy really worth this much money?

Only if you are the guy trying to sell it

I would say it is fair, just because of all the work. IDK if he/they put $85K into it, but it is possible with paying labor prices nowadays. think if they charged only $50/hr and you have 1000 hours in it for body/mechanical repairs.... there is $50K right there.... I wouldnt do it but if I had $30K and wanted a blazer, that is the one I would buy, nothing to do to anything, just drive and play with it. You cant get a 2010 4x4 tahoe with all that for $30K now can you?

people are free to put a price on what they own it either sells or it doesent

I think to build one that nice,you would have nearly that much in it,and a lot of hours.

Putter · 11-23-2010, 02:04 PM

My only complaint...and this is very nit-picky...is the fact that he says "Restored". When I hear "Restored" I think it was put back to factory correct.

Now if he had said "Rebuilt" or some other term, I would have thought nothing of it.

But that thing is N I C E!!!

It's a good lesson in "What you spent isn't necessarily what it's worth."

Is that a dull paint on the pass. door? Maybe it's just the pic. Looks like a nice rig.

Compared to some I've seen that is a deal. All the work is done. All that it needs is a owner that want's it!

WORTH is determined by the buyer. Not the seller.

I'd be interested in knowing if he has actual receipts totaling 85 G or if he is "guesstimating" I guestimate that I have a jillion dollars in my 67 ;-)
I have built lots of stuff and know for a fact that its much quicker to assemble something from all new parts than to try to fix old rusted and worn out stuff like I do......If I were able to just order everything new and put it together, I would have much less labor cost......and a hell of a lot more fun

Anyone who would spend $85,000 restoring that, has to be nuts.
