Saw This One Yesterday!

[BMERDOC]

Saw this and just had to turn around and snap some shots! An 8 door Suburban?!? Wanted to share!

[Car'n'Guitars]

Do you have any background on it?

[BMERDOC]

Nope, not a thing. I saw it as I was going downtown. I swung around and snagged some pics.

[Car'n'Guitars]

That's cool, but to me it looks almost like it was originally built that way, but by a separate company like the extended cab trucks that are 1973-1987.

[BMERDOC]

I didnt get to look at it too long but it definately looked factory.

Taken from http://brochures.slosh.com/index.shtml?1973 , under Limousine.

[78 Chevyrado]

I like it.

Probably started life as an Airport shuttle or something similar. they were kind of common in those places.

[Car'n'Guitars]

Yeah, it definitely is cool, would like to learn/know more about these.

[BMERDOC]

And there it is! I knew info on it wasnt too far away! She was a monster! Loooonng!

[btimike]

I want one!!

[Car'n'Guitars]

Very cool, I wonder what they're worth?

[gchemist]

I would love to see that. Papa Smurf would look like a toy next to that monster.

[Car'n'Guitars]

Imagine having to replace a rocker panel or floor board.

[ProStreet83C10]

wonder what the curb weight is of that monster............

[gchemist]

Power for power. A 5.9 turbo diesel from Cummings is the way to go!! Plenty of them around too. Since '99!!

just to keep things as american as possible, It needs a 502 gas guzzler, no passengers except the driver (me) and lots of jealous stares. Id Drive that thing to the store to get 1 pack of cigarettes. I wouldnt park, just block 7 people at a time in their spots while i go buy 1 coke or 1 pack of cigs.

Reminds me of when I was about 11. I bought a old schwinn tandem bike at the flea market for $15 bux. I used to ride it everywhere with just me on it and I thought I was awesome. lol. I still got that bike somewhere lol.
