Interesting custom...

Looks like something that was done in the 80's, and the listing confirms it.

I can't figure out how to link pictures from ebay anymore so you'll have to go to the link.

Re: Interesting custom...

Saw that as well - Here are some pix for those folks who have work block ebay.

Looks like a true barn find - wonder how long it sat there [maybe since the 80s]

Hopefully those rear wheel covers are removable -

Re: Interesting custom...

If you can remove the wheel covers and the bed cover, it could be saved. I probably would have washed it if I was asking $18,000.

Re: Interesting custom...

- I would have taken it to the nearest auto detail shop - dropped the money on the full package and then put up the pix on ebay.

For the $ - it would have come back in the end.

Re: Interesting custom...

Could you imagine going out into some old barn and finding an old blazer just sitting there waiting...wow, how cool would that be!?

To bad an old chevy truck nut didn't find it and continue giving it the lovin' it once received back in the day instead of just throwing it up to the highest bidder.

Bringing the ole girl back to life would have paid it's own dividends in my book.
