No way. Make sure you are paying for the truck and not the price the PO payed to have it "restored" to that level. I dont want to be the first person to tear it apart.

Well, let's say you WANT a Blazer restored to that level. It might well cost you $100K to do it. Many full, real, restorations run 200-300K or more. I'm talking "drop off a vehicle and a check at Musclecar Restorations". It's EASY to put 2000 hours into a resto, and if you're paying $85 an hour...
So you could pay 100K to restore one or you could buy something that someone has already restored, like this one. It's almost always cheaper to buy than build, of course.
Every time a higher end restoration or build comes up for sale people are quick to disparage it, but I don't see a shortcut to quality. Someone's got to pay at some point, even if it's in sweat equity.
If I'm wrong, feel free to point me at the quality for sale cheap.
