This GMC Suburban (1973-1991) got away, but there are more like it here.

This 1985 GMC Suburban 2500 4×4 was previously sold on BaT in September 2021 and was subsequently purchased by the seller. The truck is finished in white over gray cloth upholstery and is powered by a 5.7-liter V8 paired with a three-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Additional equipment includes a Holley air filter, black-finished 16″ steel wheels, a 40-gallon fuel tank, an auxiliary battery, cruise control, power windows and locks, a receiver hitch, an aftermarket rearview mirror, an aftermarket head unit, a Retrosound sound system, and an electric rear tailgate window. This Suburban 2500 shows 39k miles and is now offered at no reserve with a clean Carfax report and a clean Idaho title in the seller’s name.
