Bio:
1965
Chevrolet Suburban 2 door. It started life as a state of Texas work truck
in the color of putrid yellow. Powered by a straight 6,2 speed automatic. After
around 20 years it was retired and used as a private work truck. As for as I
could find out it was then brought to Florida where it was sold to the party in
Melbourne from whom I purchased it from. I watched it being used as an every
day work truck for two years. I had told the owner if he ever wanted to sell it
to call me. And when he finally called, I became the owner. The color had been
changed to Chevrolet orange. My wife used it for her driver to work every day
until we decide to give it a rest and do some work on it.
Stats:
Powered by a 1986 Chevrolet 350, Corvette heads, 4 barrel, 700 R4 trans. Flow

3" drop spindles, 1981 suburban steering and disc brakes. Jeep air-conditioning.
1992 olds van seats recovered, new headliner and carpeting ( non existant before), rubber mats and wood floor are still there.
New paint just completed - base coat clear in BMW black and light green pearl. The scallopes, which I laid out, just came natural ( I had to twist the painters arm, he wanted flames )
The car will be driven and never trailer’d. Its no fun if you can't drive them.
