Vehicle Description
The Chevy Suburban is the longest continuous nameplate in auto
history spanning from 1935 to the present day. Beginning strictly
as a utility vehicle, the Suburban was instantly popular with
tradesmen and cargo carriers in its early years evolving to the
most utility of the sport utility vehicles. Since its inception,
the Suburban was all about size, simplicity and utility. Chevrolets
rock solid 4x4 capabilities gave the optioned full size Suburban
owners a sense of invincibility no matter what the elements were or
terrain being traveled. For over 80 years, 4-wheel drive Suburbans
have been and still are used as field trucks, forest fire vehicles,
crew carriers, construction site vehicles. These vehicles remain
coveted by outdoor sportsman and sports orient families alike as
they possess a monstrous amount of cargo space along with easy
seating for 6 or more.
The 1972 Chevrolet Suburban "3-door" offered here is a wonderful
west coast example having just 3 owners until our recent
acquisition. It is powered by Chevrolets always reliable 350 V8
engine, automatic transmission and Chevy's legendary part time
4-wheel drive system. This rock solid example has been selectively
addressed with recent paint in its original factory color
combination: White / Ochre / White. Factory options include: tinted
glass, body side moldings, air conditioning, power steering, am
push button radio, custom deluxe equipment, parchment trim, rear
seat, custom bench seat, door edge guards, front wheel locking
hubs, turbo hydra-matic automatic transmission, l78-15-8 on-off
road tires and gauge package. This GMC Suburban remains largely as
originally optioned and also features newer carpet, interior trim
and panels, headliner, stereo and newer BF Goodrich All Terrain
tires. Under the hood and the underside remain unrestored and
original and in quite remarkable condition. It is important to note
that the over all condition and presentation of this vehicle points
to a vehicle that has been consistently maintained over its 45 year
history.
Vintage 4X4's continue to gain traction and value in the collector
car industry. The 1972 Chevrolet Suburban combines size and
drivability, and still offers many uses. Quality examples such as
this are in short supply and high demand in todays market. The
Suburban remains King of the vintage SUV's and continues to offer
huge options for use. The original build sheet still remains
affixed to the inside of the glove box door.
