Vehicle Description
This three owner 4x4 Suburban is sure to please. It has lived in
three dry climates that are well known for car preservation. It
started out in North Carolina until the second owners moved it to
South Carolina in 2007. In 2019 it was shipped west to Idaho.
Fantastic condition inside, underside and outside. Let's start with
the colors of this truck. Fire Red and Mojave Beige. It is the
factory's original color scheme and they complement each other
perfectly. The two-tone look has always worked well on these trucks
and the respray it received recently is a quality job. Upfront a
black egg-crate grille is surrounded by chrome trim and underlined
by a simple chrome bumper. 4 big doors and the fold-down tailgate
give access to the cavernous interior that can swallow up piles of
people along with their camping gear, or sports gear, or all the
tools and supplies needed to get the job done. A roof rack can
handle even more stuff, or a canoe or kayak if you prefer, and if
that isn't enough, the back bumper includes a receiver capable of
pulling a serious trailer. Chrome trims out the wheel wells and
wide-body side molding protects that pretty paint because this
truck will fill up a parking spot! Open the door and you will find
a very clean interior trimmed in Tan vinyl and Saddlecloth. The
door panels have nice big armrests for comfortable cruising with a
bit of wood-toned trim above the power window and lock switches
that are placed right at your fingertips. A four-spoke steering
wheel is mounted on a tilt column with stalks for the cruise
control and the automatic transmission on either side. The stock
dashboard looks great trimmed in wood and is logically laid out
with the speedo and fuel gauge directly in front of the driver and
the engine gauges clearly visible off to the left. Ventilation
controls are in the center just over the FM/Cassette deck and the
rear window switch, as well as the rear A/C control, are just off
to the right. Comfortable captains' chairs with fold-down armrests
are trimmed in cloth with a huge center console between them. Back
seat passengers also ride in the lap of luxury with a 60/40 split
bench seat and that rear air to keep them cool on hot summer days.
Open the hood and you will find an engine bay that is as clean as
the outside of the truck, with a tried and true 5.7-liter V8 engine
nestled down inside it. Fresh air is drawn in from the front of the
truck and fed into an electronically controlled throttle body
injection system. From there the stock intake, cylinder heads, and
exhaust system has proven that it can make plenty of torque for
some serious towing, so why mess with success. There are some
obvious signs of good regular maintenance with fresh belts and
hoses as well as a new battery. There is a new air conditioning
compressor as well as new lines so you can be sure that both the
front and rear air units will blow plenty of cool air. Power flows
back through a 4-speed automatic transmission and the 4WD transfer
case to solid axles both front and rear. Power front disc brakes
assure good stopping ability and 31 X 10.50R15 Michelin LTX tires
are mounted on 6-lug steel wheels with trim rings. A legend in its
own time. The Suburban has proven itself to be one of the most
useful and versatile trucks of all time. This one is particularly
sharp-looking, is in great shape, and could be yours. Contact Shep
