Bummer I hope they give you an answer before the start of the holiday weekend. It would Rock to have it so you could play with it.

[Camino LS6]

Yeah, but that looks unlikely at this point.

[Camino LS6]

We have a deal!

[Satty]

I'm going to call and offer $1 more than you.

I'm not giving out the number.

And it's not on the web.

Way to go Camino, I look forward to hearing all about it and much more pics along with more info on the driveline clunk and of course any other dirt you find.

I think you should start a thread in the forum on "Project Blazer" Then you can post your pics and all the inside dirt on what you are going to do with this new baby. just in time for the holiday weekend.

[Camino LS6]

Thanks dfelt.

I'll post all the details over the weekend, right now I'm late for a gathering so I have to hop in the shower and go.

[ocnblu]

Congratulations on your latest project, Camino!

[z28luvr01]

Congrats, Camino. I'm jealous.

[GMTruckGuy74]

Well you finally got your 5-speed equipped 2-door Blazer. Congrats!!!

I would say I'm jealous to, and to a degree I am, but would be more so if it was a GMC Yukon instead of a Chevy Blazer!

[Camino LS6]

Thanks guys.

This has turned into a slow process - they are hunting down the title right now.

Could be early next week before I actually have it here.

No big deal though, I'm in no hurry.

More it? Is that like more cowbell?

[G. David Felt]

Damn you Camino, You gave me the bug to move forward on getting my own 2 door GMC Yukon.

I am now going to go check out this one I just found.

1994 2 Door GMC Yukon

This baby is awesome.

I'm assuming that they mean silver with a maroon interior and not the opposite as Franks Chevrolet has posted on their website?

Sweet-looking truck!

And, I don't feel guilty at all.

[GMTruckGuy74]

dfelt, go for it! These trucks are becoming harder to find, especially in such great shape. The shape that '94 Yukon is in can't be beat, and while not my favorite color combo (I'd rather have the silver in the middle and the maroon on the upper & lower portions), it makes for a unique truck. The price is a little high IMO, but it does look like a well-cared for truck that hasn't been molested (no afternarket radio, no aftermarket alarm system installed, etc) and has modern GMC rims on it ('03-'06 Sierra aluminum rims). Keep us posted! Edited May 24, 2009 by GMTruckGuy74

[G. David Felt]

We'll since the dealership is over 3 hrs away, i have emailed and called and will follow up with another call in the morning. If the answers to my questions are good enough for me then I will probably pull the trigger. It does look really good. Will keep you all updated. Thanks for the support and thanks Camino for giving me the bug!

[A Horse With No Name]

Way to go, dfelt! Two more awesome trucks in the C and G family.

Like I told gm4life...pics!

And then I told 66Stang in good time... I have almost went over to the house it sits at with my K100D and started taking photos for you... Then I decided they would think I was odd, not that haven't figured that out yet, but hopefully by Saturday I will have it. (Including photographs for you 66!)

Neat trucks saw a Chevy Blazer like yours Camino in gold tonight, that sounded great.

So just finished talking to Ryan at the dealership. The vehicle he believes was owned by a smoker. This could be a deal breaker as I am allergic to tabaco and every time I am in a smokers vehicle I get stuffed up and start sneezing. He said they replaced the front seats since they were in bad shap. He is going to take additional photo's of the inside and email them to me. The vehicle had 2 owners, second owner had fancy aftermarket rims on it and when they sold another newer SUV the person liked it and paid to have those rims and they put the rims from the newer SUV on this 2 door Yukon.

Question to my fellow C&G peeps. Has anyone been successful in steam cleaning the inside of a vehicle to remove smokers smell?

Thanks all,

Not just no but hell no. My mother in law bought a Chryco minivan that had been owned by a smoker, dealerhsip tried all kinds of stuff for a year...about once a month...didn't get the smell out.

Tried independant detail shops, etc...still no luck.

21 year old University student running into said van, totaling it...and van being crushed and melted...that got rid of the smell.

Once it's there it's there.

Chris

It depend how heavy the smoker was and what kind of equipment you're using, but it can be done. If you really want to get smoke smell out, rent a steam cleaner and an ozone smoke eater. Steam clean the interior to get any residual ash out of the upholstery, then leave the smoke eater in their for a while, depending on the size of eater that you rent. Air out the car to get the ozone out then check your progress. A car interior is small so it shouldn't take more than a day.

Depends how sensitive you are to the smell as well...I've known people with alergies to still have problems after the whole ozone thing...

Thanks Wildmanjoe for the input. I will keep this in mind as I consider this.

Thanks Chris, sensitive I am, so I am not sure what I will do. I did find this other non smoker black one. just would require a road trip to California.

Black 1997 2Door in CA

1995 2 Door Yukon Black with Red strip

[gm4life]

The GT is SWEET. I would rock that in a heart-beat.

[Camino LS6]

Damn!

Both of those are really nice!

Prices are quite high, I think.

[Camino LS6]

BTW: There has been another delay.

They had to file for lost title, as the original can't be found.

Supposedly, it will take about a week...

[A Horse With No Name]

Camino-I had a similar issue when I bought my 55 Chevy...sucks to wait, doesn't it?

dfelt-the red and black one with 143k looks wonderful, I like it the better of the three vehicles you've posted.

I would however negotiate like hell. When I bought my Miata, sitting right next to it was a Honda Pilot, 2004, 85k...and it went out the door cheaper than your two latest vehicle links.

To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt, talk softly and carry...cash or excellent financing. 2k off the top of either vehicle seems reasonable to me. When I bought my Safari van, I offered them 2k less and was serious...and thye took the deal.

Good luck...(and again, my vote is for the red and black one wiht 143k)

Chris

[A Horse With No Name]

...hmmmm...I might have to change my mind...the black 97 comes with leather...

Something about the two tone 95 just feels more right, thorugh...can't put my finger on it.

Chris

[Camino LS6]

Waiting makes me... nervous.

But this go-round it doesn't bother me so much.

I'm kinda busy at the moment with other things anyway.

I should be at the race car garage right now in fact.

I febreezed the hell out of my Grand Am for a while and the smell eventually went away.

[ocnblu]

GM told us to close up the car and leave a big bowl of ground coffee in it.

Camino, lost title? No worries, it'll give you time to haul that 502 home from your local GM Performance dealership for installation.

Dangerous idea...

[ocnblu]

Don't they call you Captain Danger? What's the matter for you?

[Camino LS6]

Well, Capt. Danger's wallet is running a bit light...

And I already have a barnful of projects.

I think this one will be a driver... at least for a while. :AH-HA_wink:

[ocnblu]

Cool, I hope the mechanical issues aren't too expensive to resolve so you can get it on the road and shaken down for reliability quickly. A NOS system will help check for bulletproof reliability.

[A Horse With No Name]

Actually I agree with the driver thing., I want to see the Camino back on the road...

Whatever happened to the Mothertruck? You still have it...right?

Chris

[Camino LS6]

@ NOS

I hope for an inexpensive fix for the two major issues - I plan a detailed diagnostic session before I even start.

No rush with this one.

Now the Mothertruck, on the other hand, that one is starting to get on my nerves just sitting there.

Smuggle the Healy out and put it in my garage. They have lots of cars...they won't miss just one...

You need the under car Neons and the 24's first, YO.

Twelves and fifteens in the back and gold chains would work well also....

You mean the RamJet 502? That would be a kick ass ride with that engine in it.

Hell even a Ram Jet 350 would do... A 502 in that puppy would be hot, but would it fit in the motor bay, and wouldn't that thing just beat the piss right out of the factory 5spd? Now a 6spd. from the GMT-800 HD trucks would be nice as well.

RamJet 502 would fit, just need to make sure the rest of the driveline and supporting undercarriage could handle it.
