After the BRB departed, I spent a bit of time on the 'Burb, hoping to be able to move it to California with me. Reality struck. I would not attempt to drive it to Cali. And I would have had to rent a large trailer or have it shipped. I listed it for sale, got a few nibbles. I was getting close to packing up to head out to my new "old" job. A fellow from Iowa called and asked if it was still for sale... well yes. He showed up, drove it around and offered me half of what I had in to it. Sold. He left me with a small deposit and returned the next day with a Beautiful Blazer strapped to a huge trailer. The trailer was not huge enough for normal folks. But we were not normal. We cobbled a bunch of planks together and he drove the Blazer up on to the front of the trailer. I would not have even attempted that!! Both trucks did fit (barely) on the trailer. We had to remove the ramps though.
He sent me a note a few days later saying that they got home easily. He sent me another note later in the winter, more than mildly upset that I didn't tell him there was no antifreeze in the engine. He found the freeze plugs on the floor! Apparently, there was no damage (other than the freeze plugs popping out). I hadn't given it a second thought, since my garage was heated! oops.
I sent a bunch of the re-pop parts with the 'Burb, along with the spare trans and whatever else I could find. Of course, I found more stuff later and mailed that to him.
He sold it to another guy around Iowa after a while.
