This 1979 GMC Jimmy is a beautifully reimagined classic, blending
rugged styling with modern performance upgrades. Owned by the same
enthusiast for over a decade, this Jimmy has undergone thoughtful
modifications to deliver both power and reliability. Powered by a
5.3L V8 with an LS6 cam and TrailBlazer SS intake, it offers
impressive performance, while the 4L60E automatic transmission
ensures smooth and efficient shifts. The drivetrain, sourced from a
2006 Chevrolet pickup, brings modern capability to this vintage
SUV. The Arizona-sourced rust-free body is finished in a crisp
white exterior, retaining the Jimmy's classic lines while
showcasing its well-preserved condition. The body's solid
foundation reflects its desert heritage, free from the corrosion
that often plagues older SUVs. The clean and timeless look is
complemented by modern enhancements like the Tahoe 4-link rear
suspension, which improves handling and ride quality, and 4-wheel
disc brakes that ensure strong stopping power. Inside, the Jimmy
features a grey interior and dash, also sourced from the donor
vehicle, creating a cohesive and modernized cabin. The interior
strikes a balance between retro charm and contemporary comfort,
providing a functional space that feels fresh yet in keeping with
the vehicle's heritage. The upgraded dashboard enhances usability
while retaining the rugged feel that makes this GMC Jimmy iconic.
With its rust-free body, powerful drivetrain, and updated
suspension, this 1979 GMC Jimmy is an exceptional example of a
resto-mod SUV. Whether you're hitting the trails or cruising on the
highway, it combines the best of classic GMC styling with modern
performance and reliability, making it a standout choice for
enthusiasts and collectors alike. Please call if interested, or
