WTB 2 wheel drive blazer
 
I haven't been around in a while. I had done an LS swapped GMC Jimmy some years ago. I had documented most of the build and hope I helped some with my pictures and build.

I have always wanted a rust free 2 wheel drive blazer. My perfect vehicle would be a 1968 front clipped LS swapped 1972 2 wheel drive blazer. Honestly I know that is a unicorn and will most likely be out of my budget anyway.

I have been through the whole rust thing and am physically unable to do it again so it must be either original rust free or restored to rust free. I prefer 2 wheel drive but would consider any 4 X 4 in great shape.

I really want a factory AC Blazer but again if all the boxes are checked I will consider anything rust free and in really nice shape.

NO OCHRE, already had one. Although again the right vehicle for the right price and I will consider anything. I have a decent budget ($30-40,000+) but I expect to have more cash in the coming year? I am willing to travel but will fly or drive out to look at anything that looks like the real deal.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Mark

I don't understand people, you think willing to sell to you but maybe he thinks he can get more on eBay. That could backfire on him

Last night he texted me some more pictures and raised his price to $38,000 and doesn't have a rear seat?

I texted him back that he originally asked $35K and he had some weird excuse. Then asked what it would take to buy it. I told him I would have to see it in person (540 miles away) before offering anything. I am thinking of driving down in the next week or two?

I’d have a hard time paying 3x,xxx for a shiny truck with a chassis like that.

He's fishing... anyone that puts $1 on an ad is a game player. I would recommend using the community here to see if you can get some close by to check it out for you.
I don't know about the value of these but there are no pics of the engine or interior. The under side pics you posted don't go with the rest of the truck. Greasy and oily underneath for $38k? I would expect frame off for that kind of coin. Caveat Emptor

Another weird mirror one? I don't want a hard top and actually have one. I like the soft topper. And the 1968 front clip is a big plus for me.

Here is a picture from that blue one. Something is a little funky where the fuel fill and vent lines go through the floor? Also lists leaf spring rear with C notch. I don't think it is a factory 2 wheel drive, wrong doors and door panels. Has a 454 and would prefer a small block or LS.

The orange one sent me more pictures but they were nothing special? If I went to look at it and it was perfect body wise and that undercarriage I would most likely offer $25-30,000!

This one looks sweet but is slightly out of my price range, for now. Not that I would ever pay full ask, I just can"t?

I agree but I only have $30-35,000 on hand. He wouldn't accept that I am sure. I could possibly go as high as $40-42,000 but I wouldn't even have any left to ship it.

I have a mint 2000 Mercedes SL500 I have been trying to sell which would give me another $10-15,000 (probably closer to 10-12K)

Thanks
I do appreciate all the help everyone. I am planning on spending a decent amount of cash so I want what I want. Compare that one above with the black one for $47,000 that is an actual 2 WD.
