Is this blazer priced right? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've been searching and comparing prices and came across this one...not sure if its even still for sale....http://dallas.craigslist.org/car/521683670.html

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-25-2008, 05:10 AM

Based on the very poor pictures (Jmho) I'd say that is pretty close

vtblazer · 01-25-2008, 07:03 AM

Tough one, poor description and even worse photos.

Says something about interior courtesy lights, so maybe it's got a single walled top.

If it's an 8 or 9 out of 10 from what can be seen in the pics, yeah the price a right on IMO.

Given the photos and the fact that it was "restored", I'd say it might even be underpriced. A lot depends on the restoration.

Here's the info on the place they claim did the work. You might call them to see what was done - http://www.car-nection.com/asp/dspsup.asp?Ref=3190144

Pretty close to right, without AC would knock it down a little. ALT is on wrong side

BLUE THUNDER · 01-25-2008, 10:14 AM

I'm with teeitup. I'd offer between 9k and 10k. Don't get me wrong, it is a beautiful truck; it's still a non a/c cab. We both know how Texas summers are. Later. Mario.

Call me stupid, but what is ALT? I did get some pics and from I can tell it does look straight

Seems like a good price if it's a solid truck.

teeitup · 01-25-2008, 10:35 PM

Alternator, they came on drivers side originally

Good catch. It might mean it isn't the original engine. I'd ask about it and find out if the engine was replaced and if so, was the replacement a full rebuild or just a rattle-can rebuild.

Often the water pump is replaced with the later style which is longer which in turn requires a different mount for the altinator and power steering pump. Not a biggie but if it isn't an original "010" cast 350 motor, I would deduct about $1K off the price.

It is worth looking at. Looks like a good deal. I just bought my 72' Jimmy on EBAY and got SCREWED!! - But I love the POS. I need A/C, but that truck looks and sounds right, but even if there is a billion great pictures (like there was for mine,) they won't tell you nothing works and it will stop running shortly after you buy it. It seems worth checking in to. LOL -Nick
