In the Fall of 1991 Fred and Bonnie were on their way back from their home in Oregon to their winter home in Phoenix, AZ. The stopped at the one of the casinos in Las Vegas as it was their custom to do. They did a little gambling and lo and behold if Bonnie didn't strike it rich winning a $17,000 jackpot. They cashed out and on the rest of the drive they talked about how they wanted to spend their money. They decided to buy an new car and stopped at Brown and Brown Chevrolet in Phoenix and bought this Suburban you are looking at today. Fred passed away two years ago and Grandma Bonnie (as the family called her) finally decided to sell their beloved Suburban. It was lovingly maintained over the years and Fred kept a log book that goes with the car. It was used gently over the years and it was kept in the garage in Oregon and under the carport when it was in Phoenix. The last 8 years it stayed at the Phoenix home as they spent more and more time there as they got older. It hasn't had much driving time over the past few years and it is ready for a new adventure as it has a ton of life left in the old girl. I will detail the condition of the car below.

INTERIOR: The interior on this car is in as mint of condition as I have seen in this vintage of car. The seats show little to no wear. The carpet also shows little to no wear. Dash is in great shape as are all the door panels. The pictures don't do the interior of the car justice. No pets and no smokers through it's life. Everything works as it should including power windows, power door locks, power mirrors (rare option), cruise control, original AM/FM cassette player/clock, all interior lights including overhead console map lights, front/rear AC (front is cool, rear is ice cold), heater, blinkers and gauges (except temp gauge and I am currently looking into that). The third row seat is not original to this car. Fred did not want the third seat because he wanted more room in the cargo area so he literally took it out at the dealership and left it with the dealer! I found an exact match third row seat in Nebraska that someone had had in storage since new and it was never used. Like I said, it is a perfect match but it does show some minor wear from being in storage along the rear of the seat as the seat was stored in the folded up position. Overall it is a very nice seat. All the seat belts and trim pieces in the car are in incredible condition. This is the Silverado package and it is loaded and smooth and comfortable. Center console and glove box lock with the original key. The headliner is in great condition but in a few small areas it looks like it is starting to sag just a little.

EXTERIOR: The Suburban is wearing all of it's original paint and it shines very nicely. This car has not been detailed or buffed, it is just the way I purchased it from the original owner. Grandma Bonnie didn't drive the Suburban much after Fred passed away but it was parked in a narrow garage and she did put some scratches on the car and light creases in the metal as she tried to work in the garage with her gardening equipment etc.(see pics). Her son-in-law tried to touch up some of the damaged areas (which are minor), but when you get up close you can see the touched up areas. The left rear tail light lost a piece of its chrome trim and Fred put some silicone along that area as he must have thought water would get into the tail light. You can order a new tail light from online vendors if you wanted to replace this. You will see brackets up on the top of the suburban. Fred had a small fishing boat that he would take out occassionally and had a special rack made that would automatically load and unload the boat on top of the suburban. The rack is still up at the Oregon home and I spoke with the son-in-law and he said they would be willing to ship the rack to the buyer if interested.  The brackets are bolted in with stainless bolts that could easily be removed. The top of the surburban is in excellent shape in case you were worried about that boat being on top over the years as I was. No dents, scratches or rust on top. There is no rust anywere on this rig, it is super solid and clean. All exterior lights work well and lenses are clear and clean. The original running boards are inexcellent shape as are the original rally wheels and caps. To summarize the exterior I would say it is in very good shape with a few scapes and dings but nothing major. It is not MINT like the interior but still very nice.

MECHANICAL: This rig is in supurb mechanical condition and I would not hesitate to drive it anywhere in the country. Brand new whitewall tires, new battery, new front brakes and new rotors, no leaks of any kind and does not burn or use any fluids. The 5.7 L V8 fires right up and runs very smooth. The automatic transmission shifts perfectly and does have the overdrive function. No funny noises or rattles. Drives very smoothly tracking and stopping straight and true. Just no mechanical issues at all. Has the big fuel tank for great range on the highway. Has the towing package with trailer brake installed. All power windows including the rear roll up and down very smooth and quickly.

SUMMARY: Just a really nice rig and just the way you want to find one with great history, single owner and well maintained. This was the last year of this body style so it will be highly collectable and is nearing that 25 year classic car status so this one will just continue to go up in value. The body is not perfect but certainly presentable and original. This would make any Suburban lover proud and would look really nice towing a classic car or race car. I did include one picture of what I had in mind when I bought the suburban but it would be hard to change this all original classic...they are getting hard to find in this condition. I do expect a $500 deposit via Paypal within 48 hours of the end of the auction. As always I am more than happy to pick up buyers at the Tucson airport if we can coordinate timing with my work schedule. Look at my feedback and the pictures and bid with CONFIDENCE!! I don't do this for a living, I just love old cars. Good luck!

Junkyard Gem: 2003 Chevrolet Tracker

Wed, May 22 2024

When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and — in some cases — built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: the Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the axe in 1997, with the Metro, Prizm and Tracker becoming Chevrolets. Of those, the Tracker survived the longest, with U.S.-market sales continuing into 2004. Here's an example of a very late Tracker, found in a North Carolina car graveyard recently. The 1989-1997 first-generation Trackers were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the 1998-2004 Trackers had the Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Grand Vitaras) as their siblings. Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador all the way through 2014. The Tracker name has also gone onto some versions of the Chevrolet Trax around the world. This one is a base four-door hard top/rear-wheel-drive model, which had an MSRP of $17,330. That's about $29,789 in 2024 dollars. You'll find one in every car. You'll see. The engine is a Suzuki 2.0-liter straight-four rated at 127 horsepower and 134 pound-feet. A five-speed manual was base equipment, but very few American vehicle shoppers wanted three pedals by the middle 2000s. This truck has the Aisin four-speed automatic. We like it loud. It appears that someone associated with this truck graduated from Julius L. Chambers High School last year. In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue. If Tracker can handle (unspecified Middle Eastern country), it can survive the jungle back home. Siempre contigo.

Two More Recalls Push GM Total To 4.8 Million In A Month

Mon, Mar 31 2014

General 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.
