This car is part of the Allen H. Dieringer estate collection. We (the family) have sold a dozen or so vehicles in the past few couple of months and have a few more to liquidate. Please visit www.dieringercollection.com to register for email updates as new listings become available and/or add me as a favorite seller.
If you were bidding on this Blazer a few weeks ago, please accept my apology for ending the auction early. We discovered at the 11th hour that the title transfer could potentially be problematic, so we've secured a new title in the name of Mr. Dieringer's daughter.
NOTE: We are NOT a motor vehicle dealer. This is a liquidation of an estate and our top priority is to get the highest price possible. We will not consider any trades, any cash offers outside of the ebay auction, nor can we assist with financing. If you have specific questions, I will do my best to get an answer, but due to the nature of this being an estate sale, full history and details of every vehicle may not be available to us. Please review my 20 year ebay rating and bid with confidence. If anything, I’ll be guilty of under describing these cars. All vehicles are located in Yoakum, TX and may be seen by appointment during the auction. Please view the vehicles in person or have a third party inspector view them BEFORE you bid. The vehicles you buy will be made available for easy pickup by your shipper. I will mostly answer emails in the evenings after work, so be patient. I will respond to everyone.
Mr. Dieringer had completed a frame-on restoration a few years ago, and this truck has been in storage since. It is a 4WD, K5 Blazer with 350, automati, PS, PB, and factory air (compressor locked up). The interior is very clean, and all original other than a late model steering wheel. The dash pad, dash paint, carpet, upholstery, etc. are all in very good condition, and correct. The removable top is very clean with no cracks, with the exception of the hinges on the back glass (they are stiff and possibly will break if forced open). The paint on the truck is very shiny and is a repaint of what we believe to be the original color. There are several nicks and scrapes on paint, but overall, it looks great as you can see in the photos. Mechanically, the engine starts easily, with no smoke or noise and runs very smoothly. The transmission pan is damp, but otherwise the undercarriage is clean. The fuel gauge and tach do not work, but other gauges do. The doors open and shut nicely and the window cranks work well. I've checked the entire body with a magnet and discovered only one area (the size of my hand, on the passenger door) that apparently has filler. I've had this truck out several times now, and it drives well, stops correctly, makes no weird noises, etc. It really is a very nice truck and should make a great driver.Mr. Dieringer was a fan of "all original" vehicles, and this one is no exception.
Be diligent with your questions, and please make arrangements to view in person if possible, or send an inspector if you like. And remember, this truck is 45 years old, so there may be things I missed, but none of our other buyers have been disappointed.

NOTE: I've sold every vehicle listed so far, so bid knowing that the reserve is modest and we expect to sell the truck. Clear Texas title in hand.
All sales are final and you will have 24 hours from end of the auction to send a $1,000.00, non-refundable deposit via PayPal, with balance to be paid in cash, in person, or by bank wire transfer at your expense within 7 days of auction end.

There will be a modest reserve on all vehicles we list for sale, but we intend to sell, so bid early and often with confidence, but be sure to ask your wife first! Message me with further questions.
