deuces wild Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 With that kind of money, one could have bought maybe 14-15 top end cars and have a little extra to build a garage to house them all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike C. Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I'd rather have that completely original, low mileage '73 Blazer that went for like $85k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Junkman Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Its not just a custom car but an icon for an entire branch of the automotive world and lifestyle. No, I'm not exaggerating. Its a touchstone and a car against with most all others of that ilk are measured. Easy for me to say, I can't shake loose of the pieces to make a model of one but I don't begrudge whoever took it home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
