Here we have a 1978 Chevrolet Suburban in Brown and White in nothing short of excellent condition. This car is an incredible time capsule that was extremely well taken car of for the last 34 years. Just to save you some time, EVERYTHING WORKS and it has Factory Installed Air Conditioning (needs a charge)! Yes, I was stunned.
It does not have 4 Wheel Drive, but it does have new tires and has been properly maintained with only 77,286 original miles on this truck.
Open the Clamshell Rear Doors and you have a small warehouse, put the split rear seat down and it turns into an enclosed pickup truck.
My friend had one of these in college, we used to pile in 6 football players and head for the ski area, no problem. This Suburban was the Sport Utility Vehicle of its time. Today, no one could touch them for durability, reliability, and toughness.
This is a very clean and straight example that has clearly been well cared for over the years. The body is in very good shape, with no rust, rot, holes, and in excellent condition. There are some nits and nats, but all are minor and easily repairable and they do not take much away from the elegance and true presence of this time capsule truck. The Suburban is in its original paint and it looks great. All the glass is great, and the chrome trim is in good shape as well.
The interior and rugs are also terrific, with no rips, tears, stretches, or issues. The dash is great, steering wheel feels good, and everything works as it should. The headliner is out, but you don't even notice and this is a simple fix. The tan seats excellent, the door panels are very good, and overall it is a pleasure to ride in.
We were very impressed with the condition of the car underneath. The floors, frame rails and rocker panels are in great shape, with no rust or rot. We found no evidence of accident history or previous repair underneath. This is a highly original, solid car, making it a great candidate for long-term investment and enjoyment.
It’s great on the road, too; a smooth driver with plenty of power and torque to keep up with today’s traffic while getting all the looks and waves. The engine runs strong, the transmission shifts great, and it runs perfectly.
You can us this vehicle to tow basically anything, anywhere, anytime. Whether you have a race car, boat, or horse trailer, the heavy duty brake controller is already installed along with a Class III hitch.

At our dealership we work very hard to accurately describe our vehicles through text descriptions and elaborate photos. When you purchase a pre-owned vehicle it is not a new vehicle. Any used vehicle can have normal wear and blemishes. Before placing a bid please read the descriptions thoroughly and view all pictures. Feel free to call our Sales Hotline at (603) 818-8511 for a "walk around" verbal description of each vehicle we have in our warehouse.
Also, please keep in mind that we specialize in cars older than 25 model years and we do our absolute best to represent these cars in a direct, honest, and fair manner with over 100 pictures for each car along with a video to let you see the car move and hear the car run. Our written ads reflect both the fact that we really love these cars and feel that we are saving a part of America. We do our best to describe some of the features that you might find important. As a buyer of a car that is older than 25 model years, unless the car is represented as perfect (which our cars are not), you need to be aware that there are many smaller things that may or may not work, or may work one day and not the next, in these cars. This is due to the fact that they are over 25 years old. When bidding on a car please keep this in mind.
At DustyOldCars.com we understand that to buy a vehicle you have not seen, from a dealer you have not met, requires a leap of faith that is why we make every effort to accurately and fairly describe our vehicles to our customers. However, with all pre-owned vehicles that are over 25 model years in age, the condition is subjective. Any errors are unintentional. They may have small dings, small scratches, and minor imperfections. The interior may also be worn due to corresponding miles on vehicle. Please be advised that you should expect a certain amount of wear, flaws from a vehicle over 25 model years in age and use that you would not expect from purchasing a new vehicle. Almost all of our cars are antique vehicles and at times, they may come without accessories such as extra keys, cd magazines, navigation discs, floor mats, tools, etc. and owner's manuals. (Please call for actual miles at the time of purchase as we do drive some of the vehicles). Please read our descriptions and view all the pictures carefully to ensure that you are knowledgeable about the vehicle before ever placing a Bid.
