This would be nice to see a pic of. This is a 4 cylinder car correct?

Thanks! I love taking it out - it brings smiles to everyone’s faces.

While your Pontiac is a beautiful car, that Blazer is just a heart throb. The 6 cylinder should live forever. I am not perfect at this but I think that is 1970? I came close to owning a later year K5 which was government surplus in wood land camo.

Close. It's a 69. I enjoy driving it more than the Pontiac. My first car was a 68 chevy truck but I always wanted a Blazer.

Last was with a Holly 780 Double Pumper that gave single digit gas mileage!

I remember your Road Runner. I had one Chrysler with the 383 and, was privaliged to drive a friends Super Bee with the 383 and 4 speed. Funny, as I looked it up this morning, my aforementioned ThermoQuad, which I screwed thoroughly, was rated at 850 cfm. The replacement price back around 1983 was over $400.00. The Holley and adaptor plate didn't cost anywhere near that.


Thanks David. Yea, the old girl is still around. It gets maybe 1/10 of my attention since I added a 6 speed Challenger Hellcat a few yrs. back.

And it sports a super nice white interior. Beautiful car right there. All the new Challengers are awsome.
