Suburban For Sale

Autoliterate came across this 1988 Suburban parked by a West Texas highway with a For Sale sign on the windshield. 




If AL didn't already own two trucks of the era, we would have to consider buying it. But, since we do, we're not. Haven't been out that way for a couple of days now, but the truck may still be there. The engine appeared to be the tried & true 350. It's a 2WD truck. Paint looked original, and the rubber looked good. If you're interested, give the seller a call. (See below. Local area code is 432). It looked to us like a very strong machine that has probably spent its life in high, dry West Texas. (There's a San Angelo dealer emblem). No rust that we could see. Don't know the mechanicals, have not driven it, or started it, or spoken to the owner---but everything we saw was in excellent shape, and had been well maintained. Immaculate interior--it looked like no one had ever sat in the back seat(s). People who maintain the body and interior usually take good care of the internals (engine, trans., etc.) too.
