I have been building this blazer for the last 3 years and have run out of time and interest. I now travel all the time for work so finishing it is not an option. It is 99% complete and just needs a few minor things. I am not in a "Must Sell" situation so no Tire Kickers, Low Ballers, or Trades. I have WAY too much money invested in this thing and will only entertain reasonable offers. You will not see another blazer like this one.

I travel all the time so the best way to reach me is email at [email protected] or cell phone at 972-877-7762

Here are the details:

wow :eek1: I hope you get close to what you want for it. By any chance can you tell me what cross member that is under the engine?
 
That is one amazing ride. You have done a heck of a job putting that together.

As far as price, in a good economy I'd say you could get around 12k for it. Right now, anywhere between 9-11K would be a good sell. I saw a 'Burban with a very similar setup sell for $9,500 in San Diego about a week ago. It was very clean and had tons of new parts like yours.

I'd hang on to it and keep the miles low and keep it off the trails. That way in a couple of years you might be able to get more for it.
