    Default testing waters...what is this worth?????????

    I have a 85 gmc jimmy 2 door 4x4 with a corvette Lt1 small block 350 in it.
    The truck is pretty much stock besides the motor....sleeper if you will. the truck is bad ass and alot of fun to drive, just dont know where to start with it, so if you will just let me know what you think its worth and maybe throw an offer out there, also open for any and all trades, truck runs perfect. Could also be an awesome show truck with some time and money invested. thanks in advance and if you have any questions just let me know.Since Im catching hell about a price I guess Ill start her off at $5500, but would prefer trades

    This thing is crazy fast and will do a bad ass posi burn out will spin through 3rd and if traveling around 60 or so and floor it, it will get sideways. if you check ebay they go for way over that. I seen a 84 s10 completely stock besides a 350 in it and he is asking $16k, I know that is overpriced, but $2k come on

    I understand that, but every other s10, jimmy, or blazer with a 350 are going for and GETTING anywhere from 5k-15k, if anything else Ill just keep it and build the rest of the truck myself, its not like i need the money or anything........If you are going to talk shit keep your mouth shut

    I'm not talking shit by any stretch my friend, If I were you I would keep it and build the rest of the truck, got the start of an ultimate sleeper there, but any person who would pay 15k for any chevorlet product with only a swapped 350 is out of their mind, you can do that swap for very cheap.

    If you dont want to hear it, then dont post asking how much people will pay. Judging from your previous comment you seemed to have a price range already so why ask?

    u need to pull the chrome trim off of your taillights, it makes it look better and not so old (look at mine in sig)

    also, 350 chevy swaps is the most often used and redneckinist shit there is. Easy, cheap, and their everywhere. No doubt, your swap looks cleaner than most, at least yours still has tpi and not some stupid fuckin carb. but 5k is not going to happen my friend. Not like it is, pull the chrome trim off, sit that bitch on some rims, hell even a set of rallyes with a good set of white letters, and it will pull 4k at a max....blazers/jimmys dont really have a whole lot of market, if it was a s-10/sonoma truck it would probably be easier to sell, put that bitch on mautofied, im sure some redneck will want it

    I agree with the above. If you sold it in the prime marketplace, 5k would be attainable. But IA is not your prime marketplace. It's at least a nice swap with the TPI still on so clean it up, black out a few pieces and you should hit 5k through Autotrader. But asking here wasn't a good way to get an idea for price.

    thats cool, I wasnt expecting nowhere near 15k or anything, I was expecting somewhere around 5k, the truck itself is in almost perfect condition and it still has 4 wheel drive

    dude, in the pic of your blazer I clearly see a breather which would indicate a carburated engine. Then the pic of the engine is a fuel injected motor. Also the paint is two completely different colors. I would assume that these are different vehicles unless you can explain how they are not. I smell fish.....

    You shouldnt put yourself through this on this site with your truck. Nice truck, my old roommate has one almost like yours. The point Im trying to make is dont put yourself through a gay bashing if your not gay. G.L. though.
    So Smoooth... Itll blow your teeth off!!

    You won't get what you want from these lowballers.. This thing is well worth 4,500-5k. Thats a clean ass motor. G/L with the sale. Put it on Autotrader.

    i would agree i don't even like trucks and i'd put the value around 5000, but i will agree the motor seperate may earn you another 1000, or so give or take...
