Vehicle Description
When you're looking for a classic that can do it all, have a high
degree of originality, and yet still can cruise all day in A/C
comfort, then you're looking for this 1978 Chevrolet Suburban
Silverado.
We're in the era where the SUV is king, so how cool is an
opportunity at the a highly original example of the father of the
king? This Suburban has been owned by the same family for all its
life. It retains many of its unmistakable vintage features like the
special two-tone paint, full up-market Silverado trim, shiny chrome
bumpers, and factory wheel covers. While this does have a great
vintage look, it still knows how to be a great workhorse today,
too. The dual rear doors swing out wide to swallow plenty of cargo.
And you have a proper trailer hitch, wide tow mirrors, and an
electric hookup - so this one knows how to haul.
Inside this really has a great survivor-style presentation, right
down to the button-top seatbacks. You get three rows of wide
benches for seating up to nine total with seatbelts - only
special-order Suburbans do that today! With plenty of room behind
the third row for cargo, this is the ideal machine for everything
from camping to tailgating. It even has the right features for
long-haul comfort like cruise control, an AM/FM/cassette stereo,
and cold-blowing air conditioning now running with modern
R134a.
Under the hood is Chevrolet's powerful 350 cubic-inch V8. This is
believed to be the original to the Suburban, and since this was
always in the same family, they treated it like one of their own
for 40 years. So you'll love the way this one fires up easily and
runs strong. The V8 inhales deeply from the four-barrel carburetor,
and it exhales with a sweet tone thanks to a dual exhaust that was
updated later in life. Because this will find its best life as an
easy-driving classic, you get great features for the road, like the
three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, and power
brakes w/discs up front.
The sale comes with the original warranty card, owner's manual, and
maintenance records. So you really see that difference a
single-family machine can make. Call now!
