Look what I picked up last weekend - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

orange72blazer · 09-16-2009, 09:02 PM

1971 Blazer with 32,000 miles. It has a few good options, houndstooth seats, posi rear axle, AC, skid plates & it's one of the most rust free original Blazers I have ever seen.

I don't think I like you all I ever find is over priced junk or rust buckets

Chevyman63 · 09-16-2009, 10:47 PM

Nice find...but you couldn't have found it in our state?

Very nice!

vtblazer · 09-17-2009, 06:10 AM

Looks really nice!

Where did you find it?
Were you looking or just stumble across it?

Wanna sell it...?

I found it at an auction, I saw the ad & it was about a 1/2 mile from where I work so I went & took a look at it. I wasn't looking for one but it was so nice & original with low miles so I bid on it & won. My wife isn't too happy with me for buying it so I'll probabaly just clean it up, fix a few things & put it up for sale & hope it dosen't sell.

Man oh man.... what a beautiful Blazer, nice purchase!!!

rwolf9653 · 09-17-2009, 08:39 AM

That is a good find! Give the wife a little while and she will get over it. Keep it!

An auction in Michigan???????? Wow...great find! And rare too.

**lks dcvn** · 09-17-2009, 01:11 PM

Nice find - never see that in auctions around here - rusty junk only.

1956cameo · 09-17-2009, 05:04 PM

It seems like everyone is finding nice originals but me! Great purchase. Much to your dismay I will be waiting to see this one in the for sale section.

orange72blazer · 10-16-2009, 01:06 PM

Well the Blazer is gone. The new owner picked it up today & is driving it back to Florida. I was sad to see it go but my wife is happy. I'll probably never find another one this nice again.

**lks dcvn** · 10-16-2009, 01:26 PM

Guess I missed it in the for sale section -

69TowRig · 10-16-2009, 04:00 PM

That is a really nice looking Blazer you have there...

1956cameo · 10-16-2009, 05:40 PM

Dang!! I thought you were going to give the board first crack! Oh well. Congrat's on the sale. Hopefully the new owner is going to become a member.

I saw that on ebay and wished I had the money for it. Would have been exactly what I was looking for. Congrats on the sale. Hope you got your wife something nice for putting up with it :-D
