What's this Worth?

[69GMCCamper]

I'm looking at a 1969 Chevrolet K5 Blazer 4X4. It is an automatic with a 400 cu in engine. The truck has less than 90,000 documented miles. The original owner is the sellers uncle and it has been in their family since new. He has full survice records, manuals, and original bill of sale included. It is lifted with approx. 35 in tires. The only rust is under passenger side door and will need a new floor panel and rocker panel to fix. Surface rust on the frame is the only other. It come with a few options such as tow hooks. I was wondering what I should be looking at paying. A picture can be found half-way down this website on the left. http://www.abbotsfordcollectorcarsho...ctionList.html PLMK Thanks

Thanks for posting the picture

Seems like "too little" rust fo up your way...I'd inspect everything again. I guess price is relative to region. In So-Cal, that would sell for about 5k-8k, depending on rust factor. Hard to tell with that little pick though....BUT it was one of 4930 ever made that year so It's value is only going one way

the 400 V8 isnt original, but it does sound and look sweet.

ahh, i missed that one. Looks like the 90k story is missing a "1"

[69GMCCamper]

Yeah, this engine has 30,000 miles on it and everything else has 90,000. Thanks, anyone else?

I guess my point was that how often does a person change out an engine at 60k. Oh well, PO's do strange things so who knows!

[69GMCCamper]

He told me that something happened to it in the shop and that the mechanics put this engine in as a replacement. Who knows what to believe. Maybe they dropped something down the manifold. ???

I live about an hour from the auction were the blazer is, they are hard to find in decent shape in B.C. mine came from california in 1995, 90% rust free 80,000 miles mostly stock and has the original power train. I bought it a year ago probably spent to much and still put alot of time in it, but i wanted it. You don't see to many in this area, if it is in decent shape and has very little rust it my be worth 6-8k it all depends on what you want to spend. you could pick one up for 2k put 600hrs of body work and 8k in parts and still not be done. take your time and look around, the milige sounds a little of and if it has a lift kit it may have been bagged on, who knows It might be a great buy but check it over. Good luck.

It is a small picture, but I'd say in the US$5-7K range. The engine sets off a red flag. Check to make sure the transmission and T-case are correct and not a "frankenstien" job.

The lift and tires look more like a 2"/33" combo than 35's. If you can get better pictures, post them!

bouncy you really think it's worth that much? I know it's really hard to tell from that small pic, but man thats alot of money. have the prices for these trucks gone up?

[bouncytruck]

I'm just going by the description and what I can see of the picture. I paid over $9K for my '72 and $4k for my '69 4 years ago. My '72 had 103,000 miles on it when I bought it - but it is 100% rust free!

I paid $4500 for my 1972 Blazer 4x4 last year. Truck runs good, but has rust in both doors, tailgate and rear quarters. That's Canadian $, bought in northern Alberta. Based on the small pic and description, $5000 to $6000 Cdn. is not out of the question. Getting tough to find in this part of the world. But as usual, check it out, which might be tough at an auction.
