Bobby Heckler had a late 60s Blazer, it was orange with a white top and super clean.

By his house was an abandoned railroad track bed ( no rails ). He would get a good run up the hill , jump and clear the bed and land perfectly on the uphill on the other side.

They were built quite rugged.

Chevrolet never quit making the Blazer...Ive seen the new style in the Philippines many times are available for sale the past 4 years for around $50K comes with the Duramax diesel engine....they also have the new Ecosport from Ford for the past 3 years..which was just released here in the USA this year...Must be a testing program before they release anything here in the states..
Will keep an eye out for the C8 there when I go there next month.. Hehe..

Not likely since they don't offer the Vette there...only Camaro...

Roscoe...

I like it. I guess I'm in the minority. I've owned 2 of the older style Blazers, I liked them, had fun, but I'm not feeling any nostalgia for them that would influence liking or disliking the new version.

"Here. Make it look like this but change the C-pillar swoop to be up instead of down so it doesn't look like we copied it."

I don't like it well enough to peel out $40+g's for it brand new, but it's not bad.....

hmmmmmmm, if only I still had the C4 wheels.....





I wonder, will they offer a 2-door version?
Or, a ZR2 version? Had one of those too, really liked it.
Of course, I had the full size Blazer version too, but only in the GMC badging.
