I bought my first 1971 Blazer just out of High School because a man had a ’71 that was the nicest one in the county I lived in.
I had to sell it and the one that inspired me was parked in the owner’s backyard and didn’t move for 16 years.
Lots of people tried to buy it over the years, but I was the most consistent and finally got it 3 years ago.
The rehab has been ongoing since.
