Remember that suburban someone had a shop build or something, and they had a mint invested in? It was in the hands of some "classic car dealer" in TX, and on ebay touted as a perfect authentic dream restoration" or something. Anyway...the only "authentic" thing was that someone did the linoleum inside...did anyone save the pictures (as was dicussed here) before the auction disappeared?
Looking for some of the interior ones.
Thanks!. PM me if you would...?

I remember that it seemed to be the right floor-mat color for 1951 and it was grooved (a link to one photo I saved is in that thread). Maybe someone else saved more photos (Yakimabowtie or TrknGMC)? It was hard to tell how much was invested in that Suburban. It was listed for around $60K and the highest bid was $26K. | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 226 Shop Shark | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 226 | are you talking about the Green One?

I told that guy when he first had it listed I thought 30k would be the sweet spot for that 'burb.

The one on earlier ebay had barn doors and a diff green. The one on ebay now is touted as restored to all original with only deviation is a diff rear end. I don't know how they overlooked the fact it has a 235 in it? I'd still take it! | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 775 Bondo Artiste | Bondo Artiste Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 775 | Yup, Briank you are right, different 'burb. I'm with you I would love to have that one also.

Overlooked the 235 in it? That "feature" is mentioned in the listing. The listing does not say the engine is original (stock, etc), and the non-original (non-stock, etc) rear-end is stated. | | |
