How much is it worth??? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

kna4977 · 09-30-2006, 06:59 PM

I'm considering selling my Blazer, but am undecisive about what I should ask for my Blazer. It is a 1972 K/5, that has been restored to original condition. It is a 4x4 Medium Blue CST, with P/S, P/B, A/C, AM/FM. The engine and transmission are new. The differentials have been gone through. The A/C blows cold. The paint is new. I just replaced all the woodgrain trim and interior side panels + door panel inserts. The tires are new on the factory wheels with full wheel covers, but I also have a set of rally wheels with good tires on them. Please see the pictures for more details, and please ask me any questions that you have. thanks

kylejamers · 09-30-2006, 07:29 PM

all i can distinguish from your
pictures would lead me to believe approx
20-25
it appears well done
but a professional appraisal
or bonafide resto dude would be
closer in price
upon real-life inspection

Underneath shots? Everything else looks mint

I will do the underneath shots tomorrow. There are no flaws except for a little dirt. It has new, true flowmaster 40 series dual exhaust. The rocker boxes that are usually not intact on most have never been patched and have no rust or rot.

Man that thing is a cream puff.

cheyenne10 · 09-30-2006, 11:11 PM

I agree with kylejammers. It would be heavily dependant on paint quality. Was it a frame-off restoration?

Looks to be a sweet rig, it takes at least that to build one right.

vtblazer · 10-01-2006, 08:21 AM

How long did the restoration take you?
Have you had a chance to enjoy it since it's been finished?

From the pics, (consider taking more on a nice 'sunny' day)
it looks all there and very complete, nice job.
More detailed pics will help with the sale too.

I'd shoot for 20K minimum via e-bay, it'll get the best exposure there.

kna4977 · 10-01-2006, 08:34 AM

When I drive it, the most common thing that people comment on is the paint. They always ask me who did it, usually followed by they did a good job.

**special-K** · 10-01-2006, 09:19 AM

I love this Blazer.It should bring $20,000+++,more like $25,000+.It would be tough to find one to compare and that`s a plus for you.

bouncytruck · 10-01-2006, 12:18 PM

I'd say more in the $25 range. That is a beauty. I've had offers (but no actual $ presented which is what I expected) of $20K on mine and it is unrestored. I'd guess I could sell mine for $15K, as it sits. A restored beauty like that has to be worth a lot more than mine.

Put it on ebay and set the reserve fairly high. If it doesn't sell, consider something like Barrett-Jackson. GREGSMX put his '75 up at the Barrett Jackson, and if I remember right, it went for $29K when I saw it on TV.

kna4977 · 10-01-2006, 04:31 PM

Here are the underneath shots that didn't turn out blurry. It should give some idea eventhough the pics aren't that great.

I've done nothing but enjoy it. The restoration has taken a little over 3 years.

Jtrux · 10-01-2006, 05:59 PM

My vote is to keep it.

Be damn hard to ever find one like it again...

kna4977 · 10-01-2006, 08:20 PM

Thanks for your input. I will most likely keep it until I have a good solid offer.

Southedisto · 10-01-2006, 08:55 PM

That is sweet, dont sell it, keep it and enjoy.

kna4977 · 10-01-2006, 10:32 PM

Why should I keep it?

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-01-2006, 10:36 PM

Because they never bring what you want for them 95% of the time,
however yours is mostly OE or Stock looking, so you never know

Southedisto · 10-01-2006, 10:58 PM

Because I cant afford it!!!

I would think easily 20-25k.

kylejamers · 10-02-2006, 01:21 AM

with the addition of those few undercarriage photographs
i would shoot maybe 25-28
i think you could get it

Your kidding, right?

**special-K** · 10-02-2006, 06:43 AM

I`d keep it for the same reason I bought it and restored it.I like it?

Huskerboy2 · 10-03-2006, 02:52 PM

Beautiful truck. JMHO, but if you sell that, you'll be sorry someday. Maybe not tomorrow, but at some point you will wish you had it back.
