Re: Which one to drive?

The blazer is beautiful and it looks like a better driver than the camaro. Blazer.

PS - Would love to see some quality pics of it.

Re: Which one to drive?

Too funny. I have a yellow 72 blazer and a yellow 68 camaro. Mine certainly doesn't look like yours though.
I'd take the blazer. First gen camaros are common. Rarely see the blazers around my parts.

Re: Which one to drive?

If you have a significant other, you could each drive one. Then swap for the drive back

Re: Which one to drive?

Yesterday I had a similar decision heading to our club's monthly show in Titusville. I took the red Jimmy 'cause a good paint & body guy I know is usually there. I'd swap the rusty Jimmy for body work and a paint job on my '69 Nova. 'Course the guy wasn't there but his Dad was. Pretty afternoon and had about 60 cars & trucks for the show. Missed winning the 50/50 drawing by 1 ticket

Re: Which one to drive?

I took the Camaro and had a great time. The K5 would have been a better ride, it was hot and I felt like a peanut in the shell getting roasted! Some guy in a high dollar 34 Ford Roadster wanted to play, so I downshifted into 4th and put 20 cars on him! That was fun....
