Hey 68Custom, I agree and I agree...
The Blazer is pretty nice, I guess with a truck like that you don't plan on driving in the rain. (No windsheild wipers)
And
We will definitely miss Roy.

Wow! It would be a blast to drive. Someone obviously spent a lot of time and money on it. I can think of about a million other things that I would spend $32k + on.

"The pickup started life as a garden variety '67 Chevy Blazer"
I thought the blazer didnt come out until '69?

*MJF* · 04-23-2003, 02:48 PM

How can that be called a blazer? I didn't think blazers came out until 69.

DOH we must have typed that at the same time.

Chevy Punk · 04-23-2003, 02:57 PM

that truck was featured in truckin' a while back. it's a sweet ride!

72moneypit · 04-23-2003, 03:02 PM

It sure is a nice lookin' truck, but what's the fun of buying a truck that's already been customized/restored? If I had $32K to spend on a truck, I'd spend $5K on a restorable truck and use the remaining $27K to customize it my own way.

dubie · 04-23-2003, 03:06 PM

You guys are right, the Blazer did not come onto the market until 1969. Obviously this guy didn't know that. I have the issue of Classic Trucks that this was featured in

stllookn · 04-23-2003, 03:34 PM

As I recall from the Classic Trucks magazine they put a '67 front clip on it during one of the early customizations. This was a custom truck when the last owner bought it and did this final 'over the top' job! I think it is worth every bit of that and I am sure if you tried to duplicate it you would spend even more! But what is the fun if you can't do it yourself?

*Randy70C-10* · 04-23-2003, 03:36 PM

Very nice! For that kind of money, I'd buy a 34 Ford coupe.

Alexis · 04-23-2003, 03:36 PM

did you guy see the kind of car in the back ground? WOW! That is a nice lookin rig but i'm not into chop top. I love the interior though. The motor looks super clean and look like it can plant a punch. You guys are on the dot with the blazer info. He has no idea what he's taking about. But it's a nice truck.

smokekiki · 04-23-2003, 03:41 PM

I like blazers so you can take the top off.Sorta like having your cake and eating it to.Have a convertible,but still a truck.This ride is still bad.

1969 GMC · 04-23-2003, 04:27 PM

i think the CD player sticking out there looks a little tacky, and thats an older, cheaper model too- otherwise cool truck.

**PICKMUP** · 04-23-2003, 10:39 PM

Really nice, but why do guys build them, then immediately put them up for sale. Is it just to get the magazine coverage? Bidding started at $2,000 and he says the reserve is "low". It still isn't met at over $32,000. Is that a waste of time or what? It just seems there are too many gimmicks in this EBAY crap!

**MikeB** · 04-23-2003, 10:43 PM

$32K and the minumum hasn't been met? Hell, if I had that kind of money I'd get a Corvette!

cochino12 · 04-23-2003, 10:54 PM

I've got about $300 anyone want a timeshare? lol

69 Short Fleet · 04-24-2003, 03:50 AM

An exellent speciman of the word "Showtruck"!!!

dmec · 04-24-2003, 05:15 AM

OH BAABY!!!!

Blue Beard · 04-24-2003, 08:09 AM

It's up to $34K as of 5 AM

Try to protect that one from being stolen.

It's in California, it'll sell.

70 Jimmy · 04-24-2003, 08:18 AM

One of my favorite Blazers. I like everything except the non-removable top (why?). The "67 Blazer" line is straight from the article in Classic Trucks and the other mags that recycled the story. They didn't even bother to correct the error! I'd spend $30+k on it if I, one, couldn't do the work myself, and two, if I had that kind of cash. How much is a new full size Blazer nowdays????
