Hell yea I would. Might throw some mud tires and a two inch life on it but I’d drive it without question.

Sure, as soon as I got those pimp looking seats recovered.

eta: Downvoters never owned a 80's vehicle esp a truck with GM velour seats.

The original production interior work on those is atrocious. The plastic Clips they use the hold components in place will dry rot over time and become brittle. I love driving mid 80's cars but the quality of the Factory interior work is s***.

I've wanted a K5 Blazer or Suburban for a long time. Restored/preserved models have shot up in value over the last 5-10 years. I waited too long.

BEAUTIFUL lines on that design.

I'd buy it but store it. Too much projected appreciation of value over the next few years

I personally would not. I like modern cars.

But I know a lot of people that would.

Hell yeah I'd drive it. My dad had a blue(IIRC) K5 when I was a kid.

I hope Whistlin Diesel didn't buy it.
