Default What's this worth?

I'm considering buying a blazer, and although I do like a more rugged look I feel as if I've found a deal in this one:


1979
chevy
k5
Blazer
400
dual exhaust with flow master mufflers
long tube headers
mild cam
th 350
t203
10 inch lift
40 inch tires
20 inch rims
3 inch cowl
custom fiberglass top both a nice bow tie back window
custom 2 tone paint bright metalic silver, and a beautiful blue with a chain devider
2002 dodge front bench seat with fold down divider
Clean interior with a nice stereo






I've asked for more information and it has 80,000 miles and is in great running condition. The tires are run down and do need to be replaced.

Sorry i wrote the last email on my phone and i was not able to put everything in it.
The vehicle is completely drivable. It runs perfect. Everything but the tack works but the factory gauges. i drive it every day. I just bought the Blazer a month ago and have been working to correct the wiring botch job. There is a separate temp gauge, volt meter, and oil pressure gauge. I am in the military and there are some issues back home and need cash. The speedometer works but has the wrong gear. I have the new / correct gear. I put a new stereo and speakers through out and all new wiring. All lights work. It is a good truck.
let me know if you want any pictures let me know.

I am a 17 year old who currently rides in a family car, 1995 Diesel Suburban (the typical green one). I've been saving for a while and I wanted to know what you more experienced car owners think. I'm not a dummy and I do know how to maintain a vehicle. I've done some custom work to my truck already.

Thanks

alright, fair enough, and i agree 5500 is way too much.

and i do realize the gas mileage will kill me, so I probably wouldn't drive it daily. I'm not entirely sure what I'd do with it.

I think I'm going to drop this idea and keep looking for a different blazer. I've been looking for a blazer for a bit.

I have $6,000 in the bank and I'm sure I'll find something eventually.

When you go up in rim size, they get weaker.

There's a K5 here with a 383 stroker and dual holley 650's, flowmaster exhaust and 35" super swampers on 15" rims for $2200
