I already know this one isn't worth it.

Isn’t that more than you sold it for?

I think I sold it for $5500. I wouldn't buy it back even if it was free. In the highly unlikely event I ever wanted another 3S, it'd be a Spyder. But that's never going to happen. There are too many other interesting cars out there to be tied to the same thing for decades.

Yep. See them around here from as little as a couple grand to more than $25k depending on condition.

Old truck. Yes. Lifted. Meh. I would prefer to buy a stock one if I ever got one. But knowing me, I would lift it. :lol:

And I just spent way too much time looking at K5 blazers. :lol:

Almost all the local ones have been lifted/modified. Next to none that are stock.

Ill also say that 80's GM (or any domestic) vehicles were some of the worst production quality years.

Ya. From what I am reading reliability is not a strong part of it. :lol: . They can be had cheap, and parts are super cheap, but ya, they break down a lot. About as much as my XJ is now.

Then again, they are much cooler. :lol:

Cooler is speculative. I would take your Jeep any day over that and for various reasons.

Both of my 80s gm trucks I've owned have been damn near bulletproof.

This. Neglect is HUGE with 80’s vehicles. But anyone I know with one that takes even a little care of them they are solid.

And the blazer over the Jeep any day!!! Pull more, go more places, worth more, look better, prob same gas mileage, cheaper parts....like there is no compairison here.
