Custom BuiltStillen GTS 3/4 Ton 4X4 Suburban This 1998 3/4 ton 4X4 Suburban was purchased new and then taken to Steve Millen Motor Sports where it was completely built by hand from start to finish. Originally, the cost of this conversion, not including the purchase price of the new 1998 3/4 4X4 Suburban, was 49,800.49. A complete makeover was performed in July 2003 at an additional cost of $17,200.00. That brings the total dollar amount of just the modifications performed on the Suburban to $67,000.00. This does not even take into consideration the original purchase price. With the cost of the original Suburban taken into consideration, this is a $100,000 vehicle. I have all of the receipts, if you want copies of those, send me an email at foxorama@aol.com and I can send them to you, they are in .pdf format so I couldn't attach them to the listing. The fluids have been changed with Red line and Amsoil in the Engine and Supercharger every 3,000 miles. Some of the upgrades: 1. GTS Tuned Exhaust Header Manifolds, GTS Engine Performance & Transmission Computer, GTS Performance Exhaust System with 4” Exit Bullet Stainless tips. 2. GTS 7.4L Whipple-Supercharged Total Performance 454 Engine Package. Dyno-ed at 450HP@4800rpm, 630 ft-lb torque@2100rpm.

Front and rear gas shocks, GTS front and rear anti sway bars, 4-wheel alignment. Handles like a sports car!! 4. Brembo 14” Slotted and Vented rotors, Performance pads and stainless lines.

This freedom of choice is possible through seamlessly integrated high-technology switching, and dual-frequency wireless headphones. 8. GTS Apollo Console. STILLEN’s exclusive Apollo Console was installed and includes the following: (1) Wide Screen Alpine Display, (2) pairs of drink heaters & chillers for the Front and Rear passengers and a myriad of storage options. The video display is discreetly hidden behind an electronically managed sliding Lexan Vanity Screen. The underside of the top/center accessdoor is lighted and even has custom stitched leather pockets to hold remote controls for the audio/video components. All Apollo Consoles are custom-built and finished in plush Connelly leather to match the interior color combination.

The GTS Elite Audio Packageincludes 440 watts of amplification with a crossover network and equalizer. A pair of powerful 8-inch woofers for full bass tones is flush-mounted in the rear panel doors without compromising any rear cargo space. 10. Interior AccentTrim The Carbon Fiber trim package completes the interior atmosphere and is the ultimate expression of refinement, elegance and workmanship. Plastic doorsill plates were also replaced with an engraved billet aluminum Stillen logo plate that features a satin finish to withstand the severity of foot traffic. Ultra plush cut-pile German wool carpeting was installed in gray throughout the entire vehicle including the seat backs in the rear and the doors. 11. Plush Mats For carpet protection and added luxury, specially designed plush mats are installed for the entire floor and rear cargo area. The two front mats feature the “STILLEN GTS” logo embroidered with a red complementary colored stitch. 12. GTS SoundproofingPackage A serene environment comes standard with a soundproofing package that was installed on this vehicle. With this option, we removed all of the seats, carpets, and interior panels, including the door panels. The entire floor and firewall areas are then covered with aerospace-quality soundproofing material. In the critical door and tailgate cavity areas, we use a double-thick layer of sound insulating material. The finished result is an interior that is quieter by 6-7 decibels, adding a dimension of refinement befitting a premium vehicle. The quieter interior enhances the performance of the audio/videosystem, making music and movie scores more vibrant and full than ever. 13. Completely re-engineered and re-upholstered GTS seating begins with the existing seats front and back being stripped to the frames. From there we begin to re-pad and foam with 3 different densities of foam all of the above mentioned seats and panels, which were then recovered in Leather and Ostrich skin. Both driver and passenger seats are electrically controlled and both include seat heaters. 14. Custom made Suede headliner with integrated 8” Alpine color LCD screen. 15. AMSOIL RemoteDual oil-filter setup with Stainless lines. 16. DWD2 Air Conditioning Evaporator Sanitizer system. I have an extra recharge system for the DWD2 Sanitizer as well. 17. Custom made Trash Container built into the console with removable trash bag.
18. Front and Rear Air Conditioning, new A/C pump.
I am the third owner, as far as I can tell. I purchased the vehicle from a car collector in Portland who bought it for his wife. He purchased it from a specialty car shop in California, which I believe was listing it for the original owner. The person I bought it from then shipped it back to Steve Millen Motorsports in Costa Mesa and had another $17,000 in upgrades put in it before shipping it back to his home in Portland. Then, his wife decided she wanted something more "refined" so he put it up for sale on EBay, where I bought it for around $30,000.
This is an excellent running vehicle, never a hiccup. It literally has over a ton of soundproofing in it, so it is SOLID and heavy. Never been in an accident. Also very sedate and smooth until you put your foot in it. It's definitely got that cool supercharger "whine" when you step on it!! I used this Suburban to transport my family 4 kids and my 24 foot Malibu Wakesetter for a number of years. I used it primarily for family trips. Now, the kids are grown and moved out, the Malibu has been sold, and I have no need for this Suburban. We have never taken the time to sell it because we have always had a place to store it and we just never thought we would get our money out of it, but it's been taking up room and we haven't used it for quite awhile. As much as we love it, it's time for it to go. This vehicle has been garaged since new and never driven in the snow. I have not driven this vehicle for more than 10,000 miles since I purchased it for $30,000 ten years ago.
There is a small oil leak down low on the motor, barely noticeable, definitely not worth taking the time to fix, it has left a spot on the garage floor about the size of a quarter over the whole time I had it in storage. Also, I did have the supercharger rebuilt by Whipple around 8 years/3,000 miles ago. It started making some noises and I decided to send it in for a complete rebuild. I also replaced the water pump around that time. Just recently we had it smogged and at that time the air conditioner was not blowing cold so I had a brand new air conditioner pump put in.
If I were to keep this vehicle and use it for really heavy towing, I would invest in an intercooler as the biggest limitation to the motor is the amount of heat that is generated in the supercharger. You have to keep an eye on the exhaust temp when pulling a heavy load. Never a problem with normal driving.
This really is an exceptional vehicle, I am selling it for a SMALL fraction of what has been invested in it.
Vehicle does not have any warranty, nor am I offering any guarantees. I would encourage you to have it checked out by an independent mechanic if you have any doubt about it. I am confident that anyone who inpsects it will tell you that it is in exceptional condition and has no issues, mechanical or otherwise.
Contact me via email if you would like to see it in person, leave me a number where I can call you back. I travel quite a bit so I may have my wife or son show it to you.
Just renewed the California registration, it's good for more than a year.
I am willing to deliver the vehicle within a 500 mile radius of Bakersfield, CA for no additional charge, otherwise if you want to have it shipped you will need to arrange and pay for the shipping. You are also welcome to come and pick it up in Bakersfield.
I would prefer payment via wire transfer, if you must use a cashier's check it will have to completely clear at my bank before I will release the vehicle. Of course cash is always welcome.
I may be interested in a trade for a small tractor with backhoe, or possibly a '67 or '68 Mustang fastback in good condition. |

Two More Recalls Push GM Total To 4.8 Million In A Month
Mon, Mar 31 2014General Motors announced two more recalls late Friday, bringing to 4.8 million the number of cars, trucks and SUVs the automaker has called back for repairs in the past month. The string of recalls, topped by an ignition switch problem in compact cars now linked to 13 crash deaths, has embarrassed the company and sidetracked its new CEO, who started work just over two months ago. GM has admitted knowing about the switch problem a decade ago, yet it didn't recall any cars until February. The recall delay has brought two congressional investigations and probes by the Justice Department and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Late Friday night, GM announced it would recall 490,000 late-model pickup trucks and SUVs because transmission oil cooling lines weren't secured properly in their fittings. Transmission oil can leak from a fitting and hit hot surfaces, causing fires, the company said in a statement. GM said it knows of three fires and no injuries. The recall affects Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 1500 pickup trucks from the 2014 model year, as well as 2015 Chevrolet Suburban and Tahoe SUVs and the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL SUVs. All have six-speed automatic transmissions. The Silverado is GM's top-selling vehicle and an important profit center for the company. The GMC Sierra also is among GM's top sellers. Dealers will inspect the transmission oil cooling line fittings and make sure they're securely seated, at no cost to owners. Also Friday night, GM announced the recall of 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze compact cars because the right front axle shaft can fracture and separate while being driven. The recall affects cars from the 2013 and 2014 model years equipped with 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder gasoline engines. If a shaft fractures, the wheels would lose power without warning and the cars would coast to a stop. GM says it has warranty reports of several dozen shaft fractures. It is not aware of any crashes or injuries. Dealers will replace the shafts free of charge. The recall allows dealers to resume selling affected Cruzes. GM issued a stop sale order on the cars Thursday night. The recall also covers about 2,500 replacement shafts used to fix manual transmission Cruzes that were recalled last September. In all, GM has recalled 4.8 million vehicles since last month, two million more than the company sold last year in the U.S.
Michael Jordan's cars showcased in 'The Last Dance' documentary
Sun, May 10 2020After the masses begged and pleaded for an early release, ESPN finally unlocked the doors to the biggest production in company history last month. Episodes 1 and 2 of The Last Dance, a 10-part documentary special about Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls, and the 1997-1998 season, was released at last on April 19, 2020. Each week since, two new episodes have aired on Sunday nights, and the next two, episodes 7 and 8 are scheduled to drop this weekend on May 10. With unprecedented video access to MJ, who became averse to the media during his playing days, a byproduct from The Last Dance is a look at some of Jordan's cars. The Goat's taste ranges across a number of brands, but they all had one thing in common: performance as a top priority. Below, we have listed the rides that have already appeared in the series, and each week, we will update with new car cameos. Chevrolet Corvette C4 The photo above somewhat epitomizes one of the themes of The Last Dance. Everybody, whether that was men, women, children, franchise owners, reporters, coaches, teammates, or opponents, wanted a piece of Jordan. If that meant stopping in the middle of the road to get an autograph, then so be it. Around town, MJ was fairly easy to spot due to his flashy cars that occasionally wore Bulls red. Jordan has driven numerous Corvettes throughout the years, but the C4 is unique in that it was Chevy's top ride when Jordan signed an endorsement deal with the American company during his rookie year in 1984. Two famous photos, one in front of the Chicago skyline, show him standing next to a C4 with the license plate "Jump 23." This exact car, however, came later, as indicated by the squared-off taillights. He went on to star in a number of Chevrolet commercials with vehicles such as the Blazer and S-10 pickup truck. Chevrolet Corvette C5 The most notable Corvette His Airness ever owned was likely the C4 40th Anniversary ZR-1, but he also drove a C5 coupe at one point. Roughly nine minutes into the first episode, Jordan is seen driving the chrome-wheeled targa top into the parking lot at the Berto Center, the Bulls old practice facility.  Ferrari 550 Maranello Roughly three minutes into episode four, viewers get a glimpse of Jordan's exotic taste in the form of a red Ferrari 550 Maranello.
Chevrolet donates 300 vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders
Thu, 28 Feb 2013Super Storm Sandy took out a lot of automobiles in its path of destruction through the Northeast last October. The number surpassed 250,000 at last count, and a few of those were owned by Chevrolet - cars either sitting on dealership lots or waiting at port to be shipped off. Rendered unsellable by the water damage inflicted by Sandy, these vehicles were facing the crusher. But Chevy didn't send them there.
Instead, Chevy had a better idea: It will be donating 300 of these vehicles damaged by Sandy to help train first responders at Guardian Centers in Perry, GA. Chevy is the official automotive partner of Guardian Centers, which is an 830-acre facility that trains first responders in disaster preparedness. Junked cars are practically a consumable commodity there, where a full-size cityscape simulator gives trainees an entire urban center in which to train for all sorts of rescue operations and disaster scenarios.
Chevy says its particular vehicles will be used "in conjunction with role players for wide area searches, traffic congestion in emergency situations, counter terrorism, public order and mass casualty exercises." While grim scenarios all, we're certainly glad there are people out there preparing for the unexpected. While a zombie apocalypse isn't officially on the list of potential disasters to prepare for, when the virus hits, we'll be hot-footing it to Perry, GA to hang with these guys and gals.
