does this belong to anyone on the board?

This is a beauty. Is it a board members?

Wonder why they wouldn't put the vin number in the add.

Sweet looking 2wd though.

Very nice, a few things I might have done differently, but still very cool

Do tell! What would you do different?

This is pretty much what I would want if I were able to buy a 2wd right now. Maybe you're seein' somethin' I'm not...

Re: does this belong to anyone on the board?

Rear panels would look better than the open look w/ the speaker pods

Exhaust is awefull close to those air ride tanks (I used to do exhaust)

I would have a set of regular buckets and a console in it, although
the utility buckets are very cool, but I am taller than most people

Of course these are just my personal opinions expressed willingly

Re: does this belong to anyone on the board?

It's back!! I guess it didn't sell it when it was on Collect Car Trader. He was asking $30k then.... Hmmmmm I'm going to guess a $25k reserve. Any other guesses?

Re: does this belong to anyone on the board?

Rear panels would be nicer. I know nothin' about air tanks & exhaust so I'll have to take your word that it isn't an optimum set up.

I like the utility buckets, but I'd rather have the regular buckets too.

It sure is the same one, I remember it from when I was looking for mine and the only major thing that I didn't like about it... no AC. I guess that doesn't really matter since there is no mention of a top.

Oh and I would like to have it too!!

Re: does this belong to anyone on the board?

Did anyone notice that in the description it listed the exterior color as red.
In the ask seller a question he said it had a top but it was white.

Hey Frenchblue, I heard that this Blazer has a very slight blue tint to the paint. Any truth to that rumor as I have not seen this beauty in person?

Supposedly, a lot more subtle then mine...

Here is where the rumor came from:

The PO of my Blazer said that he was at a show with my Blazer and guy came up and asked him what paint color it was because he had a 2wd 1970 he was working on. They kept talking and the PO of my Blazer decided he didn't want to tell him the name of the paint for fear they guy was going to copy it. Personally, I wouldn't have cared and would of the told the guy where it came from (PO told me it was a BMW color).

I thought it was a interesting little story the PO told me and I was curious to see if there might be any truth to it.

Re: does this belong to anyone on the board?

They do look very similar.

Tell ya what, buy that one for sale and give it to me and then we can compare the colors side-by-side

By the way, I tried hard to convince my wife I needed that truck for fathers day, by she brought up something about not being able to afford it, yada, yada, yada...

Re: does this belong to anyone on the board?

I love the engine bay... very clean. I like the valve covers. The rear side panels would have finished the interior.

What's with the toy chest behind the rear seat?

Re: does this belong to anyone on the board?

I would have bought that thing 25k if he would have taken that. It was much more than that before, if I remember right. That real close to what I want mine to be.
