My last run in the Suburban was doing exactly what it was built for - a people mover, with space for personal items.

It carried 7 people almost comfortably to an outdoor chowder fest and craft beer tasting. Two folding tables and 7 comfortable foldable chairs accompanied us. I do wish it had end gates (clam shell) rear doors, so I could have shown people what the purpose was/is for that style of rear doors.

My first run in the Suburban in 1971 was also serving the purpose of its design (5 people on a 1,000 mile round trip to a Grateful Dead concert).

The Suburban has almost all original style/design equipment, except for seat belts, and a 261 engine, and a dual exhaust system (that is getting changed back to a single muffler/pipe). Oh yes, it has 3.55 R&P gears (instead of original 3.90). The brakes are all original equipment/style and they are in excellent condition.

The 216 and early 235 engines are not "splash oilers" -- this is a splash oiler.
