My 71 K5 coming up for sale...again! (update- fire sale $4700)
First time around I regretted selling it. Second time around I am SURE I will regret it too.
We have had a change of life so to speak, and I just can't justify keeping this as I move my family up to SLC in a month. I have a few vehicles, and I will have to do consolidation for a) logistics and b) extra $$$ for down payment. Will I get another Blazer? You bet! Will I regret selling this? Yes I will, I am sure. Anyways, here are the details- I found this truck in Utah; The PO was taking advanced auto body at a tech school, and this truck was the subject of the auto body work. Body- ALL RUSTED panels were removed. Rockers were replaced, fenders were replaced, rear quarters were replaced, bed panels were replaced, and more. The work is not restoration quality, but VERY presentable and very nice. Ruster sections of the rocker boxes were removed and have not been replaced. The truck has a custom rear rollpan and tailgate skin. The frame and underside are in good shape. Drivetrain Particulars- Non #'s matching 350 with rebuild before my purchase. Runs great. Carter AFB, Edelbrock Intake, new water pump, new radiator, new alternator, new battery, new voltage regulator. TH350/NP205/12 bolt rear/D44 front/open 3.73's. I just flushed all drivetrain fluids and refilled with best fluids available. Suspension- 4" Springs front/rear, brand new RS5000's all around, 33x12.50R15's with 80% of tread or greater, 15x10 ARE Gambler wheels Misc- Headlights work, tailights work, turn signals work, Pioneer CD head unit with NICE outdoor speakers. 6 1/2" in doors and 6x9" in custom box under back seat. Grant wheel, custom center console, double wall top. Roll in 'rhino' type lining applied to entire interior. Needs- Heater is not hooked up. I live in SoCal and it has never been an issue here. It might work, it might not, not sure. Needs E-Brake hooked up. Needs and must have new body mounts. OEM's are shot. This guy is a little rough, no lies here, but it is in VERY good and presentable shape. I would give it a 7/10, with 1 being a backyard rust bucket and 10 being new. It runs great, has a lot of power, shifts great, and is ready for offroading or restoration if you are. I am looking for $6,800 for it. Please peruse the pictures, feel free to comment, and let's see if we can make a deal!

It will be hard to replace, but it's possible! The skin was installed by the PO... No idea... Maybe do a search on google.com for 'chevy tailgate skin' or the like.

Darn it, 2 years ago I overpaid for my hunk of junk becuase I couldn't find any others for a decent price and now great deals are popping up all over the place. Where in San Diego are you located?

My wife is VERRRY cool though. She understands that when I sell a toy, that it is just a temporary thing and I get another one when things settle down. Shoot, someone buy it from me, leave your contact info with me, and when things settle, maybe I'll buy it back!!

Price lowered to $6,000 obo!
Looks like I am definitely moving to UT. A lot is going on, and I have been back and forth, but a) I have to sell before I get my new truck, and b) I don't want to deal with the logistics of trasporting this one. It will probably go on Ebay soon if noone here is interested. If you want more pics, let me know! Let's make a deal here.

Clock is ticking... $4,700 is my bottom line. Any lower and it just isn't worth it for me to sell. Anyone interested at $4700?

71 Jimmy !!!
  I took mine off the web since no one seems to have a realistic idea of what it takes to get one of these beasts back to semi great/../ I assume that you are no longer interested in my JIMMY as you are selling your Cheby..... I am fortunate enough to be able to afford to keep my 71 JIMMY forever instead of letting someone beat me out of my hard work & hard earned money.... I will NEVER put it up for sale again.... Thanks for those of you who were seriously interested... Regards, Supergas

It's a little disheartening really. I guess folks here are looking for either a) total projects or b) unmolested originals. There really isn't a market on this forum for semi or complete projects. We see so many K5's come and go and never sell here, that I have to deduce that this isn't the place to sell!

What better place to sell your item than with the folks that know it best. I have contiplated your rig and just cant do it right now, wish I could. I live about 3 1/2 hours north of SLC. I do think that at that price there has been some fights between the Mr and Missus going on in several house hold around the US.

I don't think this is a bad place to try and sell your truck, but it shouldn't be the only place. Here, you are reaching a limited audience, most of which already own at least one truck. Personally, I think http://www.collectorcartraderonline.com/ is one of the best places to list a car for sale. I think you should also consider dealsonwheels.com, coloradoK5.com, pirate4x4.com, your local "shopper" paper and your local area board on craigslist.org. Ebay works for some, but not all.
Blazers tend to sell better in the spring and summer. In the cooler areas of the US, we can't run topless in this season and one of the main attractions to an early K5 is the removable top. Keep trying, as rolled72 mentioned, someone might be figuring out a way to buy it right now. When I bought my '72 from a board member, it took me a while to convince my wife it would be a good idea and determine if and how we could afford it.
