For Sale: 1989 GMC Sierra in Mesa, Arizona

This 1989 GMC SIERRA 1500 SLE is a very vintage V8 pickup. And when it's both loaded and useful, it makes for the right mix of both a cool classic and a handy asset...all for an affordable price.


This was one of the first years for the new style Sierra. It set a new tone in pickups where there could be sleeker without losing any of that professional grade attitude. That's why we like finding one that looks so authentic. The chrome bumper, front air dam, and factory alloys are all part of the classic and premium SLE trim. The paint is even believed to be the original application. There may be some people who want to update it, but right now, we already like the mix of a good gloss for everyday use that never loses the ready-to-work attitude. After all, this is a true GMC truck. And you even have liner paint protecting the bed and a proper trailer hitch.


Inside is more of the well-done classic attitude. So you get a classic bench seat but with added contouring and comfy cloth upholstery that came on this new generation of Sierra. Carpeting, door panels, and the smooth dash pad all have a stock look in a nice and deep red. More of the benefits of the SLE trim are seen in the nice features like power windows, power locks, a tilt steering column, cruise control, and cold R134A air conditioning. And we always think GM's unique stereo with separate tape player and equalizer is a great classic touch that's fun to see today.


Under the hood is GM's hardy 5.7-liter small block, and it comes from the time when the factory was installing fuel injection from day one. While it's unknown if the odometer reflects the full actual mileage, this has the right look of upkeep in the fundamentals like the belts and hoses. It fires up and drives with the confidence of a well-respected FI machine. Plus, you have easy driving features like power steering and power brakes with front discs. This also has a four-speed automatic transmission w/highway-friendly overdrive to really enjoy this one near or far.


Complete with owner's manual, this is the GMC that's vintage, useful, distinct, and affordable. So don't miss this Sierra, call today!
