eBay emailed this auction to me the other day. This guy has got to be kidding. It looks like a nice solid Blazer but it sure as hell not a $10,500 ride that's for sure.

Here's a link to the auction:

It's nice, but I agree - not quite that nice.

It looks like it may have the old K5 saggy butt syndrome.

Naw the "saggy butt" option code P36 was only available from the factory on 'burbs

'73-'75 Blazers all came standard with code A55 "crappy leaking door weatherstripping"

X2, mine must be a 20k blazer with all the extras

I guess buying it for $500 was a smoking deal then

X3!!! Then mine must be worth over 30K!

But seriously, I NADA'd mine and honestly came up with $16,100. But I doubt anyone would be jumping at that price. I'd never sell mine anyway, I've looked for it for over ten years. Mine is in way better and more original shape than that eBay '75...real-world price of that Blazer should be around 5 or 6K (in Ohio). Probably should be less out west since there's more surviving Blazers to choose from.

I would give him $5000-$6000 for it if it is in good condition.

Well looks like it's been relisted...no bids. The seller has lowered the starting bid to $9,999 and posted an NADA link to try and show why his truck is worthy of such price. Something tells me he will be relisting it again when nobody bites this time either.
