Vehicle Description
Professional cars have a deep-rooted following, because after all,
ones like this 1970 Chevrolet Suburban Ambulance was plucked from
the assembly line to become a low-numbers small-batch crafted
machine. So look over all the investments in restoring this rare
and attention-grabbing classic.
Miller-Meteor is a particularly celebrated brand in the
professional car community. They dealt almost exclusively in
Cadillacs, including being the builders of the Ghostbusters Ecto 1.
But there were a few rare diversions, like when other parts of the
company utilized the Suburban chassis for a few years. This is one
of those examples. So you already have an interesting and rare
chapter in history before you look over the superior condition of
this Sentinel-series ambulance. The Hugger Orange and white has
been expertly applied, and the chrome bumpers look great, so it has
a shine that will get this big SUV noticed from blocks away. Of
course, you can get them to hear and see you even sooner with the
full and working light and siren package. It's mounted within the
unique roof that was custom crafted onto these ambulances. This has
a true professional look with spotlights front and rear, wide
trailering mirrors, and the full Life Beat livery - even on the
windows. They really went the extra mile with the details, so you
have a CB radio antenna, correct wheel covers, and even thin
pinstriping against the bold paint.
More of that exceptionally correct attitude is seen with the
interior. The rear doors have a smooth action as they swing wide to
reveal a full professional setup. Two stretchers and a gurney
dominate this area. Plus, you see great details, like a bench seat
w/storage, portable oxygen tanks, and a pass-through window to the
cab. There's even a resuscitator briefcase that comes with the
sale! You can tell that there was a nice investment making this all
look good. After all, when this was in professional use, the first
thought was about the patient, and the last thought was not
scuffing the paint - so you can see they properly restored this
area. The cab is a clean and classic Chevy Suburban/pickup
featuring a red bench seat with matching door panels and steering
wheel. Plus, the dash has a custom panel for the lights, siren, and
CB radio.
Under the hood is Chevy's trusty 350 cubic-inch V8, and it looks
exceptionally correct, right down to the decals. While they took
time to care for the unique pieces of this ambulance, the crisp
condition of the engine bay tells you that they also paid attention
to the fundamentals, too. And we know you'll love the details, like
the dual air horns mounted on the inner fender wall. The
era-correct V8 is fed by a Rochester four-barrel carburetor for
good power. Plus, the three-speed automatic transmission feeds a
sturdy 12-bolt rear end. Plus, there's power steering and power
brakes. So while this Suburban's days of taking lifeline calls are
over, it's still easy to drive to all the events.
This is a rare opportunity at a well preserved and restored
coach-built classic. So at this affordable price, you know you need
to hurry on this deal. Call today!!!
