As the sunlight catches the distinctive yellow paint of this 1971
GMC Sprint, its presence is immediately felt, a rare gem amidst a
sea of modernity. The Sprint's striking yellow exterior is a bold
choice, making it impossible to look away. Mounted on 15-inch
wheels, with 195/65R15 tires at the front and 235/70R15 at the
rear, it promises a grounded and composed ride. This GMC stands as
a testament to the era of muscle, enhanced by chrome finishes that
catch the eye and a bed that hints at utility as much as style.
Within, the Sprint offers a black vinyl sanctuary, accented with
yellow piping, crafting an inviting space for driver and passengers
alike. The installation of a Pioneer double din stereo, equipped
with AM/FM/AUX capabilities and modern connectivity like SAT and
Bluetooth, brings a contemporary touch to the vintage cabin. The
traditional column shifter remains, a nod to the vehicle's original
design, surrounded by panels that blend the original spirit with
tasteful updates. This interior, complete with power steering but
lacking air conditioning, balances vintage charm with essential
modern functionality.
The real story begins with what propels this GMC Sprint forward: a
350 V8 engine, speculated to be enhanced to a 383ci stroker. Mated
with a TH400 3-speed automatic transmission, including a shift kit
for refined performance, this setup is anything but ordinary. The
engine breathes through an Edelbrock single 4-barrel setup,
complemented by long tube headers and a dual exhaust system
featuring FlowMaster mufflers, producing a sound as captivating as
the Sprint's appearance. The suspension, with its coil spring and
shock arrangement at both ends, paired with power disc brakes in
front ensures that the driving experience is as engaging as it is
nostalgic.
