Is it worth 7k?

Seeing what yall think about this blazer... he has about 14k worth of reciepts including shop rebuilt motor and trans, bedlined interior and top, upgrade ac, brakes, 35" tires, 15" rims, 4" pro comp lift, and alot of other things here and there replaced... It has some rust bubbles and probably a maaco paintjob over original paint...

It has some issues, like the drivers side front fender. The rust bubbles are an issue because it will need a repaint in in the near future. It is a fully removable top blazer and it looks solid underneath so there is value there.

Re: Is it worth 7k?

my opinion, shoot for $6000 and invest in a nice paint job.

Re: Is it worth 7k?

It does have a few issues you can see in the pics like front fender to door gap is wider at the bottom (might be just out of adjustment but be more serious) Gage bezel looks like it is loose or busted. and the bubbles over the back tire if the paint is not very old I would say it had rust issues that were not taken care of properly.

But like above the full lift off top blazers are harder to find so if the full top is something you really want it would be a good start just be sure to look for rott in other locations like bottom of doors,floors,inner fenders,

Re: Is it worth 7k?

It's worth $3000-4000. He's not the first person to have a stack of receipts that add up to far more than the vehicle's value. I'd look for an original rust free 73-75 and put your own lift and tires on. That's just a fixed up rusty one that the owner wants to sell now that the rust is coming back through. Back east all those K/5s (and all other 73-77 GM trucks) rusted away 25 or more years ago. They are easy enough and fun enough to fix up yourself. If you buy one already done look for one that won't need redone and spend the big bucks. In between,like this one,is going nowhere.
