I would try to inspect it in person. Looks like good winter driver

I'd guess reserve is over $3,000...those aren't exactly cheap. Looks decent from the pics. Are you close enough to look at it in person?

[Silver R/T]

looks like hes put some work into it so its worth over 3k easy

I'm not really close enough to take a look but I contacted the guy and he said he will ship it for free which is good. I know the mpg won't be great but do you guys have any guesses? Thanks.

I have a '78 Blazer with a 327, 3.73 gears, a 4" lift with 36" tires, dual exhast and the SM465/NP205 tranny/tranfer combo that gets about 9 mpg average. Unless that thing is fuel injected with a fresh rebuilt motor, I don't think you could expect any better than 11 - 12mpg.

BTW: I have about $3,000 into the running gear and tires and about $3,000 into rebuilding the front axle, brakes, both driveshafts, exhaust, etc...and I'll be lucky to get $2,000 for it. (did I mention the body is shot? BUT, it is also a Federal vehicle - pretty much smog exempt)

post some pics, wish you were closer, I could use it about now

[ChargerBill]

The body is pretty bad...I'll try to find some pics. I really need to find a buyer who wants a bullet proof 4X4 and see's the value of what I've put into it and doesn't mind the body because he's going to beat it up anyway.

well post some pics asap when you find it, Im interested to see it
