Re: ebay blazer, amazing!

I don't think it's all original either, way too many red flags. But it is impressively original and well maintained. It does have some replacement stuff and I seriously doubt that glossy black paint is original, the dog-dishes are 80's fodder, etc. But its so close and the non-OEM stuff so minor, it is fair to call it an original survivor. I love it, but I'd drive it.

77 is the first year for those hubcaps, that or it was a midyear thing i believe. I know they were using them by the 80s, but i swore some late 70s got them as well.

And i just noticed the non original radio and speakers, that will hurt the "original" value of it.
