Vehicle Description
It may have a custom look that could give you the impression that
it's a heavily modded (and therefore somewhat temperamental)
vintage SUV, but looks can often be deceiving. Thoughtfully
configured for frequent driving, this recently completed 1972
Chevrolet Suburban C20 is powered by a built 402 V8 and features an
elegantly comfortable interior. Take a closer look, this 'Burban
has a lot to offer.
An unabashedly flashy exterior - featuring gray-on-purple-on-gray
paint - replaces the more subdued original combination this Chevy
started out with, and it's a great modification, with the paint
showing a nice shine under its very even clear coat. This
Suburban's restoration has been performed with an attention to
detail, as despite its more than 45 years of service, it emerges as
a very well-aligned and finished vehicle, with a very straight, egg
crate front grille, clean and level bumpers and trim, flush-fitting
body panels with even gaps, and doors and hood that open and shut
smoothly. It's got an appealing, distinct appearance - with a
single door on the driver's side, the more traditional two-doors on
the passenger side, and a rare tailgate in back (instead of the
usual ambulance doors) that provides exceptionally easy access to
the rear storage area. Viewed from up close, the cabin has a
wide-open feel, largely due to carrying no fewer than thirteen
panels of glass around its perimeter, with all surrounded by clean
trim and new rubber seals. Man, what a looker!
Inside you'll find a very comfortable and well-appointed modern
Suburban interior - very well-suited to enjoyable, long distance
excursions. Its extensive seating - featuring bucket seats up front
that straddle a convenient drop-down armrest, with two rows of
bench seats in back - has plush gray vinyl wrapped neatly around
the bulky seats, with subtle purple piping to match the exterior
finish. There's lots of room for you and your passengers to spread
out and ride in comfort. The dash area, sitting just beyond the
three-spoke steering wheel, has been finished to great effect, with
a full assortment of stock gauges sitting inside a new cluster
that's set inside the beautifully painted purple dash. A Vintage
Air front and rear climate control system has been added and it's
in great form, blowing with plenty of force out of the dash-mounted
registers up front and headliner-mounted vents in the rear to keep
everyone nice and comfortable. Sitting front and center in the dash
is a Pioneer AM/FM/CD/AUX/Bluetooth player to expand your audio
options. Just beyond the rear tailgate sits a well-proportioned
storage area -in great shape and lined with plush carpeting, with a
cover over the full-sized spare stowed off to the side.
This is a custom SUV that runs with confidence-inspiring
reliability. A built 402-cubic inch V8 sits underneath the hood in
the expansive engine bay. It's a lightly travelled powerplant, with
only 483 miles on its top end, and it features a pair of polished
oval port heads to go along with a mild towing cam and
hypereutectic pistons to enhance its performance. A Summit Racing
carburetor sits atop an Edelbrock Performer intake, and is aided by
an HEI ignition system to provide improved all-weather starting and
reliability and, with a built TH400 4-speed automatic transmission
with a shift kit sitting behind the engine, you'll get the benefit
of low-RPM highway motoring along with low-end torque for towing.
This truly eye-catching and unique vintage SUV sits on a set of
awesome-looking blacked-out 17-inch alloys wrapped with 245/70/17
blackwall radials.

could want? You have to check out this 1972 Chevrolet Suburban.
