The Beast Has Awaken

Post by PLAGUE PHANTOM »

As most of you know my beloved Bonneville was totalled last month. She will be missed. But I have finally brought my darker side out and have a new beast to back it up.

Trans am I was looking at had a rebuilt title and had a rear main deal leak. I took this instead. Love the power of a 383.

Looks like a nice solid truck, and I'm sure that 383 feels nice and full of torque.

Also, just as a pet peeve of mine, and not to be a douche, but Trans Am's are only Ls/LT cars, the 3800 trims were only firebirds ;)

Thanks Joe, that minor detail was bugging me too. (F-body guy in me I guess.) :lol:

Haha same, like I said, not trying to be a douche at all, that's just a HUGE pet peeve of mine. Kind of like when someone calls a Bonne a Grand Prix

Looks like a nice truck.

I love the 2 door and would love to have one but the premium price that is put on them is ridiculous (at least around here).

I got this one for $3000. It was a frame up restoration truck so there is no rust on it what so ever. Had a complete drivetrain replaced last year. It has 15,000 miles since the restoration. Drives like a champ for 210,000 miles. I love it.

I had a 2 door and it was great. So easy and cheap to work on and got a lot of looks.

Wow. Sounds and looks great. I bet the high miles on the odo is the reason for the good price.

But it actually sounds like a great price.

It was a good price. The truck sounds mean and has one hell of an acceleration at WOT. Already have received numerous comments on ye truck and even got an invitation to the first summer classic far show of 2013. Truck should he show ready by then. Needs some chrome parts like valve covers and alternator. Thinking of either a cold air intake or an old school circle filter.

WOW that thing is awesome, I love the 2 doors. and doesnt have the barn doors in the back, which is also a plus in my book.

LOVE that. Is it a 2 door yukon, like the the gt? a blazer? I always get them mixed. I know they only ran a limited time with the 2 door in that body style. VERY clean, good deal.

It is a 1992 K1500 Blazer. I think the Tahoe's have leather interior. Definitely hate barn doors. I really love how the back seats fild down to the floor to give me alot more cargo space.

So you said it had a 383? Nice. Must have been done during the frame-off restoration?
