For Sale: 1981 Chevrolet Suburban in Mesa, Arizona

Vehicle Description

Professional cars have a deep-rooted following, because after all, ones like this 1981 Chevrolet Suburban Ambulance 4x4 were plucked from the assembly line to become a low-numbers small-batch crafted machine. So look over all the distinct upgrades that keep this a rare and attention-grabbing classic.


The classic Suburban scene is heating up right now, but that's only a small part of what makes this one so attractive. After all, the bright white and orange will get this big SUV noticed from blocks away. But 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, another over the rear, wide trailering mirrors, and the full North Park ambulance livery - even on the windows. It really has the kind of authentic look to this that looks like it was taken out of service just yesterday.


More of that exceptionally correct attitude is seen with the interior. The rear doors swing wide to reveal a full professional setup. An ambulance is a true custom machine with a flat floor for the rolling stretcher. Plus, you see great details, like a bench seat, built-in storage, oxygen hookups, and a pass-through window to the cab. And it's all presented with a very vintage and well-preserved look that will be great for everything from professional car shows to period-correct movies. The cab is a clean and classic Chevy Suburban/pickup featuring a nice classic texture and color to the bench seat. It's unknown if the odometer reflects the SUV's full actual mileage, but it has an overall well-kept style that's appealing. It even remains a comfortable cruiser with air conditioning. And as a true professional-grade machine, there are the right upgrades, like a PA system, voltage monitor, and a full panel switchboard for the lights and siren.


Under the hood is Chevy's trusty 350 cubic-inch V8 with a Holley four-barrel carburetor on top. The setup looks exceptionally correct, right down to the decals. And you can even see the professional-grade detail, like the dual batteries. The V8 fires up nicely and runs well. Plus, as a true country ambulance, it has a two-speed 4x4 transfer case to be a go-anywhere rescuer. There's also the three-speed automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes, and front discs. So while this Suburban's days of taking lifeline calls are over, it's still easy to drive to all the events.


Complete with factory owner's manual, this is a rare opportunity at a well preserved coach-built classic. So at this affordable price, you know you need to hurry on this deal. Call today!!!
