Vehicle Description
This 1972 Chevrolet Suburban has been restored to really offer it
all. It has a custom extra-long body that has been upgraded with
show-ready details, there's a powerful crate V8 under the hood, an
extra comfy air ride suspension, and you're going to spot all the
best comfort features in the custom A/C interior. It's even set up
to tow the toys, too. So it's amazing a unique and thoughtful build
is also offered for an obtainable price.
We love the two-tone metallic paint. Tangerine Pearl and Sparkle
Silver have brilliant names to showcase a brilliant shine. There's
even a purple sponged graphic with green, blue, and orange
pinstripes to provide an intricate dividing line between the
two-tone. It instantly signals this is a thoughtful build, and it's
far from your only custom detail. Up front, the grille shows an
extra clean presentation, and it has been recessed a bit so you can
really see it meld into the custom front bumper that's seamlessly
molded to the body. In the rear, you'll see the that they added
three inches over the already long look of the Suburban. It was so
the hatch of a later-model Escalade could be integrated for
custom/sleek look that also gives you a proper tailgate for
enjoying events. There are more great details, like shaved door
handles, Escalade roof rack, Lexus side mirrors, and an adjustable
air ride suspension that gives you the ideal stance for the street
or parking at the car show.
Pop the remote door openers, and you'll instantly see how much
custom work went into this Chevy's interior. The seats are custom
upholstered version of Escalade units, so it has a terrific look
and serious modern bolstering. The front buckets even have
individual armrests and power adjust to your ideal position.
There's also power windows, power locks, an alarm, Dynamat
insulation, and cold-blowing R134a air conditioning. We especially
love the center console that's color-matched to the exterior
(including pinstriping) and nicely integrates controls and cup
holders. You may have also noticed a huge technology upgrade. This
has an AM/FM/DVD infotainment interface that includes a backup
camera. There's even an iPad custom mounted to the glovebox. As a
true Suburban, you get three rows of seating, and each headrest
even has a TV monitor mounted in the rear. Its huge 127-inch
wheelbase is enough to carry friends, family, and all the toys
(there's even a trailer hitch nicely hidden.) But even with this
cavernously comfy interior, there is plenty of evidence of a
performance machine. You get a great-looking Budnik three-spoke
steering wheel on a Ididit tilt column. Beyond that is a full
AutoMeter Phantom gauge package to keep an eye on everything going
on under the hood.
Under the hood is more of the award-worthy presentation. There's
the exterior orange on the inner fenders and engine bay, and it's
joined by the exterior silver in accents like the radiator shroud
and master cylinder to deliver as awesome a two-tone look as the
body. Plus, the motor has all the right investments. It's a 350
cubic-inch crate V8 that the consignor states is a performance
build that has been stroked to 383ci total. It has been upgraded
with an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock Intake, Mallory
HEI distributor, upgraded pulleys/brackets, and Hedman headers
feeding a rather straight dual exhaust. This even has an upgraded
cooling system with two trans coolers for when you're towing. The
transmission is a nice mix of hardy and performance with a stout
TH400 three-speed automatic that features a 2500 RPM stall. Power
steering, power brakes w/discs up front, and grippy modern tires on
the updated 20-inch Boss wheels make for the ideal package to live
up to the Suburban's versatile reputation.
It's reported that over $50k was invested in this custom build, and
it proves it with upgrades and quality over every inch. Don't let
this one-of-a-kind super Chevy slip through your fingers. Call
