1962 GMC Carryall
View Description
Automobilia history is right here. The Suburban nameplate is one of the most contiguous models in vehicle history, and for General Motors one of the most profitable.
In this business you see a lot of cars. Here we like everything, but once in awhile something that really strikes a nerve comes along and steals our attention in a big way. Here is a vehicle that has been properly and economically restored with tasteful modern upgrades. For starters the engine is a late-model 5. 3 LS engine that has the traditional fuel injection taken off and a 4-barrel carburetor affixed instead. The engine is said to have less than 10,000 on it prior to installation. While this is not a first, it is certainly a nice touch. You get the reliability and modern performance of the LS engine family, but the look and feel of a classic carburetor.
The transmission is a 5 speed manual spinning a 4. 10:1 rear end gear. The combination makes this Carryall-Suburban get up and around very nicely. This could be a family grocery getter, roll-race, car show queen, or even your next work truck!...
