For Sale: 1988 Chevrolet Suburban in Ft Worth, Texas

Vehicle Description

When you want to look distinctly vintage while towing the toys or going to the store, but you don't want to give up creature comforts, it's time for this 1988 Chevrolet Suburban. It combines classic SUV styling with a hardy fuel-injected V8 under the hood. And while you'll love these SUVs for being comfortable cruisers, what makes this irresistible is that it's also a well-respected two-owner classic!

This is a highly original Suburban with a terrific story. We're told it spent 34 years with its first owner, and then there has only been one other owner its entire life thus far. So that means good care and an eye for preservation. The two-tone red and maroon look to be largely the factory application. It has the right mix of a clean look with just the right maturity and use so that people know you have a useful classic. After all, this is just filled with practical features like full-length running boards, a large luggage rack, wide towing mirrors, and a trailer hitch. Plus, the fold-down tailgate becomes the ultimate seat for ballgames. It's unlikely that the five-digit odometer represents the full mileage, so it is believed to have rolled over once, but still, at under 140k this has averaged less than 4,000 miles annually - that's barely any distance for these robust long-haul kings. And you see a high level of respect in fundamentals like the straightness of the body panels to the brightness of the chrome bumpers.

The interior is all about versatility and long-haul comfort. That's why you have three rows of comfy velour seating and there's still room left in the back for everyone's gear. And have you noticed the front seat? We don't see the bench front too often, and it means you have an impressive nine-person configuration! The upholstery, carpets, door panels, and dash pad seem to be all vintage 1988, and they still remain both useful and attractive. This high-end Silverado trim came with a long list of options including power locks, a rear defogger, power windows (including the rear one,) and an upgraded AM/FM/CD stereo with aux input. Plus, there's plenty of cold-blowing air conditioning with both the front and rear units working. It all makes for a nice comfortable classic, and it also feels like a true highway driver thanks to a wraparound gauge panel, a tilt steering column, and cruise control.

Part of what makes these later years of this generation so desirable is that you got features the others don't have, like a 350 cubic-inch V8 featuring factory fuel injection. The powerhouse is hardy, smooth, and feels well-maintained, and so you have the right recipe for you to even possibly have a daily driver. This classic Suburban also remains good for long trips, with power steering, power brakes, front discs, and a four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive.

Complete with the owner's manual, this Suburban is useful, attractive, vintage, and comfortable... And with this low price, you know the full deal is irresistible. Call today!!!
