That is one nice Blazer, but I have to agree with LUV that Buy it Now price is way too high.
It has a lot of nice touches such as the original radio with a modern radio hidden, hidden tow hitch, power windows, ect., but having no AC is going to hurt it's bid price. I'll say a max bid of 14k. Not knowing much about gearing what do you guys think of the 3.42 gears setup with this power train? |

DAMN nice lil' Blazer!! Almost $20,000 sounds a little high to me as well but who can blame him for trying?? Wonder what his reserve is?

That is a sweet ride and he will more than likely get what he is asking as it is a beautiful blazer...

That is a nice Blazer. It has been on ebay before and didn't meet the reserve. It has a lot of nice details. If it had AC, I'd say it is definately worth the $19K price, but without it, it is a tough sale. If I had and extra $20K laying around, I'd consider buying it.
crzngmychvy - glad you finally got your top. Post some pictures!

All of you guys know as well as I do that you can hardly build one for that price that he is asking. I would give him the 20 if I had it laying around.

I'm actually thinking about purchasing it. I need your advice...some say it's too high and some say it's a good price. There's 2 days left to bid...can you folks give me an idea if this is trully worth it??? I want a blazer that's pretty much turn key and based on what I've seen and read from his bid...it seems like a good deal. Yes...no???
Thanks in advance |

If I had the money, I would go for it... Of course I always try to haggle over the price, just to make myself feel like I got a deal. As far as the A/C goes, you can always add an aftermarket setup, if you even need/want it. I know my Vintage Air system is much colder than an OEM unit.
BTW, Welcome to the board!

Thanks!!! It's good to know this is here!!! I've been searching for a 2wd for a while and this was the cleanest one that I've seen so far. Now I just need advice about what I'm buying. Speaking of which...I'm new to all this. Any idea how much would a vintage AC cost with install???

My vintage air setup was around $1400, with the factory A/C controls and a few other little things, I don't know about the cost of an install, because I won't pay somebody to do something that I can cuss at all day by myself!
Is that black Blazer on ebay too?

Looks clean on the outside and under the hood, but that is about all I can tell from those pics...

I would say that $20k is pretty close to what a complete frame off with most parts being new would cost. So if you wanted to build one that clean, it would take you $15k-20k. I am getting close to completing my truck, and it is at $15k, and I need to spend about $2k more.
I know that the next truck I do will be much cheaper being that I have learned a lot from the first one, and will not make the same mistakes, and have a lot of new connections for finding parts (without paying ebay prices). I do agree that for $20k, it should have A/C. Anybody know where I find a steering wheel like the one on the blazer? Last edited by John Fabris; 06-02-2005 at 12:09 PM. |

That blue 2wd is one of the cleanest 2wd Blazers I've ever seen. My guess is that if he is asking $19.5K, his reserve is probably lower than that. If you are seriously considering it. There are board members in the area that my go take a look at it for you. Also, ask for pictures of everything, find out as much history as possible and if the seller doesn't follow through, I'd bail out assuming he his hiding something.
If you do get it, you need to give all of us a ride!

From what I can see you would be hard pressed to build one like it for the money. I like the 700 trany with the gears for road driving but would also like to get a look under the car. If its as nice as the rest of the car I give it a thumbs up.

Well, the guy selling the one on Ebay backed out apparently.

What do you mean he backed out? Looks like the auction ended without hitting the reserve. Did I miss something?

If you'll notice right above the price it states "The seller ended this listing early because the item is no longer available for sale." Either: 1. He backed out, 2. Sold it off Ebay (so as to keep from paying Ebay's fee's) or 3. Decided not to sell it. I'd guess it's the middle reason.

Didn't notice that. I'd guess he sold it out side of e-bay. He has had it listed on ebay in the past.
