I have and I would.

1992 had the interior upgrades to the early 90s. I tried to buy one a few years ago and between the agreement and purchase the next week while off we found out we were having kid #3.

Deal canceled.

That's said I plan on buying another one. Eventually.

My Dad had one of those. Protip: Don't take the top off. You will never, ever get it back on.

The removable tops were an absolute bitch to handle in the Blazer, 4Runner, and Bronco. Heavy and difficult to latch.

The canvas top Jeeps were far more convenient.

83 K5

This is my 83. Just got it back from paint shop. Slick new body and paint, not a lick of rust on it. My favorite toy and I have a few.

I would drive the Viper on Matt Bower showroom floor. So yeah, I'd drive this thing too.

They are.


The prices on GMT400's (clean Suburban's especially) are going up as well I understand.
