Original Blazer/Jimmy - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

chevyross · 01-31-2010, 03:15 PM

I'm looking to buy an original Blazer or Jimmy. Must have orginal engine and driveline, glove box sticker and/or other documentation. Prefer original paint, body panels, and interior. I'm ready to buy just need to find the right truck. Thanks.

Thealien · 01-31-2010, 03:26 PM

whats your budget, just wondering how serious you are?

chevyross · 01-31-2010, 03:31 PM

Very serious. I'm flying to Indiana next weekend to look at a '70 Blazer. I'm ready to pay up to $20,000 for the right truck.

72BlckButy · 01-31-2010, 07:03 PM

Are you talking 2wd or 4wd?

Several have been on this board and on the internet, but they have been well over $20k.

chevyross · 01-31-2010, 07:09 PM

4WD only. I will consider any original trucks. Thanks.

Thealien · 01-31-2010, 07:16 PM

Good luck, with that budget and a little patience I am sure you will find just what you are looking for. Post pics when you do find one. Check with some of our Arizona, CA, more rust free area members and maybe they can keep an eye out for you.

72Levi · 01-31-2010, 09:53 PM

What is your color choice, preference?

chevyross · 01-31-2010, 10:49 PM

I'm open to different colors but must be original color. Do you have a '72 that you might want to sell? Thanks.

72Levi · 02-01-2010, 11:48 PM

I'll check with some friends.

chevyross · 02-02-2010, 10:07 PM

Just let me know if anyone is interested in selling their Blazer/Jimmy. Thanks.

72Levi · 02-02-2010, 11:12 PM

PM me your email and I'll send you pictures of mine, I might sell it.

dnandez · 02-02-2010, 11:44 PM

I was doing a search on NADA.com and there is one that is close to your price with the protecto plate and everything. blue and white. Check it out.

Curious as to all the places your trying to search, what have you tried so far and what's been the out come of those searches?

Also curious as to why your so adamant for the need of something totally original.

Not questioning your motives, simply curious.

48hp · 02-05-2010, 01:23 PM

Looking for something similar only it need not have matching numbers. Thanks.

drunkbus · 02-09-2010, 05:15 PM

Here's one in oregon.

budder71 · 02-09-2010, 08:11 PM

well for that amount of money and patience you can get the right Blazer/Jimmy
for sure... I am 3/4 of the way through on a frame off complete restoration of a 71
GMC Jimmy 4WD, but I put a 71/72 Chevrolet front clip on it, and I bought it from
the second owner with 63K original doceumented miles on it and for sure it is way way
cheaper to buy one ready to go... probably at least half the money to buy it complete
because I will have 30-40 in the restoration.....

71swb4x4 · 02-09-2010, 08:19 PM

Come on chevyross, you can't buy a new blazer and not post up pictures. Show us what you bought!!!

I'd sell mine for that, and it comes with a soft top.

chevyross · 03-08-2010, 09:06 AM

Still looking. Any leads would be appreciated.

Have you contacted Bouncy yet?

In both threads, it sounds like he's willing to talk and I know it'd be tough to find a nicer one.

72Levi · 03-08-2010, 10:13 AM

There was an original Jimmy on ebay for $24k+ did you look at that one? It's the one we were trying to get the Jack decal picture on another thread.

Yeah, you would be money ahead on that one! But I still haven't gotten the new owner to contact me...Still would like a picture of that decal!

chevyross · 03-09-2010, 10:21 PM

I missed that one on ebay. I will keep looking. Thanks.

Mint68 · 03-12-2010, 11:10 PM
