This 1968 Chevrolet C20 Suburban is both practical and attractive with its classic two-tone, cavernous three-row A/C interior, and a powertrain with a fuel-injected LS1 V8 and overdrive transmission.
The well-developed line of Chevrolet's C/K trucks is truly iconic today, and so it only gets better on a less frequently seen Suburban. And we like the premium details, like the bright chrome bumpers, surf-style white roof, and the full-length trim that cleanly separates the yellow and lower white of this two-tone presentation. There are even nice upgrades for a better cruiser, like the fog light bumper and clear tri-bar headlights. It's quite an attractive package, but there are still the right signs of use to make sure no one sees this as just a glamor machine. You see this spirit in features everywhere from the surfboards on the roof rack to the upgraded HD-style 8-lug wheels.
The interior has a clean look on the carpeting, door panels, and nicely textured upholstery. It's made to be a better driver with a sports steering wheel, tilt column, billet gear selector, and a backup camera mounted between the sun visors. There are also nice features for everyone, like air conditioning (it may need a recharge) and tinted windows. The classic Suburban setup does not have a rear door on the "traffic side" for safety sake, but it also serves a nice purpose for practicality. When you have a three-row setup like this, one door allows for an entry space on the offset middle row. So it's easy for adults to get in and out of all rows of seating. And not only can you carry plenty of family and friends, but there's still room in here for plenty of cargo. It makes for one of the most practical and useful classics around.
When you lift the hood, this one has the unmistakable look of upgraded power. It's a 5.7-liter LS1 V8. That means a healthy upgrade in horsepower and the reliability of fuel injection. And the V8 makes a dignified tune out of the dual exhaust and Magnaflow mufflers. It's a true cruiser with the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission offering highway-friendly overdrive. You'll love the suspension going down the road because it's the comfortable trailing arm rear borrowed from the C10. Plus, you have power steering, front disc brakes, and good modern touring tires.
When something is both vintage and versatile it's the kind of vehicle that lets you dream about going places you never even thought you could take a classic before. So if you're looking for vintage SUV adventures, you know you need to call today!
