So here I am, sold my bonneville, so Im looking for another project. I dont have much to work with, but heres where Im at on decisions. The monte will be done soon, and its too cold to paint the gp. Any suggestions?

1. Camaro z28- $850
Good- sweet, ok looking paint/interior, looks very fun
Bad- engine is shot, could be big or small issue
I could flip this, easily, or keep it as a fun car.

2. 1973? Blazer $600
My friends uncle is selling this, it runs great supposedly, but its rust as hell. Ive been looking for something like this for winter and college, because the monte wont see either haha.


3. Body kit for monte? mabye get some panels repainted



4.Get truck running- needs a new tranny/radiator but itll be epicness when it does run.

I voted the Monte and here's why.

The Camaro is another project that you would have to focus on, and it seems like you already have a couple (the truck and the Monte).

The Blazer is going to be horrible on gas. If you want a DD for winter and college you can find cheap lil 4-bangers for $1000 or less. I'd go that route if you wanted a DD.

The Monte would look awesome like the pic that you showed

The truck was close to my vote though. I didn't pic this one because the Monte is cooler, but if you did get the truck running, that would be about the same thing as having the Blazer for a DD.

In the end I wish you good luck! It's your call.

Monte + Kit, the Razzi Kit is awesome hands down.

Rust bucket, never!

Why wouldn't you want that sexy Monte going to College? ... can you say, chick magnet?

that blazers worse than the one my buddie buried......

personally i would get the truck you have running & cleaned up, that way you'll have something that you could sell or trade towards something else. question though, is the truck a 4x4? 4x4's seem to sell alot quicker for much more $ than a 2wd in equal shape. if its a 2wd than i would spend my energy on the camaro as something to flip.

Get that truck going it will be fun to drive in the snow. I would have said the Blazer but you already own the truck so you will have more to put into it.

I'd say either camaro or save the money for the monte & I'm with ya on the whole college thing. I hate taking my monte to college, if I lived on campus I'd steal one of the vans to take to college lol
