Offered here is a 1972 GMC Jimmy, fully and professionally
restored, lifted, and upgraded to, as the brochure says, suit your
needs. The red-orange-over-houndstooth-fabric 4WD SUV (red-orange
is the factory-original documented color) is a spectacular tribute
to the brand's GM heritage. The quality of the restoration work is
absolutely first-class in every respect. The Jimmy's odometer shows
70,098 miles, and the truck's full list of original equipment is
documented with the Service Parts Identification sticker still in
place. As part of its comprehensive, two-year restoration, the
Jimmy's exterior sheet metal has been restored to like-new
condition. There are no flaws, and the stunning red-orange finish
(the Jimmy's original color) is uniformly lustrous across the
entire truck, no doubt painted to a higher standard than was in
force at the Pontiac, Michigan GMC truck plant back in the day. (To
best assess the quality of the paint and trim finishes, please be
sure to view the close-up photographs of the car in the
accompanying gallery.) The body's stock appearance has been
maintained from its chrome-surrounded quad headlight grille to the
GMC-embossed painted tailgate. Other chrome trim, including
bumpers, side mirror, door handles, body trim, and grille trim, is
all in pristine condition. The black fiberglass top has been
restored to the same high standard as the balance of the vehicle.
The truck's overall theme is stock but lifted and outfitted with a
top-quality, off-road tire-and-wheel package. Factory badging is
limited to the front-fender GMC Jimmy emblems. Lightly tinted cabin
glass and all lighting lenses (including on all four body-side
marker lights) are free of imperfections. HardRock® H707 Destroyer,
20-inch, forged alloy off-road wheels (https://hardrockoffroad.com)
are mounted with Cooper® Discoverer STT Pro 35x12.5 LT tires. The
truck's GM classic orange-and-black custom houndstooth interior
upholstery (also employed on the rear-cabin side walls) is as
attractive as it is unique. New front bucket seats (separated by a
stock black storage box with cupholders) and rear (removable) bench
seat are trimmed in black vinyl. Stock black door trim in excellent
condition is surrounded by orange-painted metal with black carpet
on the lower panel. Fresh black carpeting also covers the cabin
floors continuing into the cargo area. The stock, 2-spoke, GMC
branded black steering wheel frames an original instrument
cluster-100-mph speedometer, 5,000-rpm tachometer, analog clock,
and fuel-level, alternator-output, coolant-temperature,
oil-pressure gauges-is set in a black-and-chrome panel. The shift
lever for the automatic transmission is mounted on the steering
column; the transfer-case selector is floor-mounted. Stock heating

radio, and the s
