1987 GMC Suburban Sierra Classic 1500

350 motor , fuel injection , 148,800 miles

Fully loaded , top trim package ,  power steering , power brakes , power windows, tailgate with rear power window , power door locks , cruise control , air conditioning (needs to be charged) , running boards , roof rack , 3rd seat , 9 passenger , cloth interior , chrome bumpers , optional front bumper guards , windshield antenna , back spoiler/wind deflector

Quite amazing condition for 27 tears old. My plan was to try to get it her qualify for collector plates now that she is over 25 years old, and then just use her in summer to tow our little tent trailer, motor very strong with lots of life left in her , regularly tuned and regular oil changes and these 350's will run forever.

I believe the heads were redone several years ago? , lots of invoices through the years , previous owner had installed an alarm system , and repainted her about 8 years ago , new dash cap installed at that time.

New set of tires last summer , new muffler & new brakes also , new battery, transmission serviced recently , 3 speed with Overdrive , Mileage not too bad - I've gotten up to 20 mpg on the highway , lots of regular maintence receipts , been maintained well and used as our daily family vehicle.

Issues = Starting to see a puff of blue when she starts , but does not seem to burn oil when she is running ,  Some small rust bubbles forming at bottom of a few of the doors and below one of the rear windows (see photos) ,  no rust through though , front seat could use re-upholstery , rest of interior is super nice.  Also - the speedometer has recently started being intermittent. The 148,000 miles is converted to kilometers on the odometer as the truck is in Canada.

Wish I could hang on to it but no room in the driveway.  Wife got a newer van and wants it gone. I know I will be sorry someday, but my loss your gain.

Great driver , smooth,  faithful , reliable , it's been a great family vehicle , drive her anywhere.

Nice looker - starting to turn heads , I believe value will continue to climb as she continues to age into vintage status , want a buyer who will take care of her as I have.

Good luck with your bidding

GM renders new Chevy Colorado, GMC Canyon pickups

Thu, 08 Aug 2013

At a series of industry seminars in Traverse City, MI today, General Motors executive vice president Dan Ammann gifted us with our first glimpse of the upcoming midsize pickup range from Chevrolet and GMC.
Just two slivers of nose are all we can see of the soon-to-be announced Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon, though the teaser image does make plain that the pair will follow the styling cues (at least up front) found on big brothers Silverado and Sierra.
GM hasn't given us much in the way of detail in its ultra-brief press release that accompanied the teaser image, which is to be expected. We're told only that the pair of trucks are designed to be "capable, versatile and fuel-efficient alternatives to full-size pickups" and that production will start sometime in 2014, at the Wentzville, MO assembly center.

Chevy Express 1500, GMC Savana 1500 get the axe

Tue, 15 Jul 2014

Fans of truck-based, light-duty vans can officially pour one out for the Chevrolet Express 1500 and GMC Savana 1500, as General Motors has officially put its long-serving big/little rigs out to pasture. Things aren't quite as sad as they sound, though. The heavier-duty 2500 and 3500 vans will soldier on, in order to duke it out with the largest members of Ram ProMaster, Ford Transit and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter families.
The move does seem to make a lot of sense. According to GM, customers only purchase the 1500-spec Chevrolet 23 percent of the time, while the GMC captures a mere 7 percent of the Savana family's sales. With numbers like that, it's no shock that GM thinks it can shift some of its buyers into its van family's more capable variants. "We knew we could move a lot of our 1500 customers into 2500-series territory," said GM's Joe Langhauser, the product manager for the company's full-size vans.
It's not just simple sales figures dictating the move, though. The 1500 line is taking up some valuable factory space that will be better spent on an eagerly anticipated new product.

Chevy Silverado edges Ram 1500 in Consumer Reports two-truck shootout

Tue, 17 Sep 2013

Forget Corvette versus Viper. When it comes to important head-to-head comparisons, fullsize trucks are where domestic automakers really care. And until the redesigned Ford F-150 makes its debut, the Chevrolet Silverado is going to have plenty to brag about thanks to a new Consumer Reports shootout against the Ram 1500.
It was a tight race among these V8-powered titans, but the all-new 2014 Silverado (and its GMC Sierra twin) barely edged out Ram's updated pickup with a score of 81 points - enough to make it the institute's top-rated fullsize truck on the market. Its narrow victory over the Ram, which finished just three points back, was due to its superior fuel economy, better towing and payload capacity and conveniences like a lower step-in height, easy-to-use tailgate and rear bumper steps that make loading and unloading less of a chore.
Importantly, CR notes that buyers with less heavy-duty truck needs might actually prefer the Ram over the Chevrolet, since its high points include a smoother ride thanks to its coil spring rear suspension, dominant infotainment system with Uconnect, and a big thumbs up for the available Hemi engine and eight-speed automatic transmission.
