This very rare 1972 C/k Suburban Custom Deluxe with only 91k original miles. Painted in the very desirable White/Ochre/White. It is hands down the cleanest original that I have seen. And if you follow my auctions you know I deal exclusively in Chevrolet trucks and know everything to look for on these vehicles and this one is impeccable! It is completely original except for one repaint that we were told is approximately 6-7 years old that shines up beautifully as you can see in the pics. Being very conservative I would rate the paint as a 8 of 10 due to any minor nicks or scratches from driving. As you can see the body is laser straight in all it's original sheet metal showing no signs of any body damage ever. All the gaps between the doors, fenders, & hood line up just as they should. The doors open and close tight with absolutely no door sag.(All rubber & felt replace at time of repaint) All the chrome and trim are also in excellent shape.
The story behind this truck is the gentleman who purchased it new had it all the way until his passing. During the 40 years he owned it another gentleman that attended the same church as him always inquired about buying it from him, but he said he could never part with it. Well it turns out he actually left it to be given to his church friend in his will. Unfortunately, his friend also fell into bad health soon after and went to sell it to a local car dealer which in turn contacted me about it knowing that this was the type of vehicles I deal in. I have enjoyed it for some time, but now I am ready to move on and let someone else enjoy it. I have set a very fair reserve on this so I can make room in the shop and fund some of my other projects, However if it does not reach that number I will keep it in my collection as they are only becoming more and more rare and also more expensive. Beyond it's condition what also makes it so unique is all the factory options. As you can see on the trim tag pic it has all the creature comforts of a modern SUV such as 3rd row seating, trailer brake controls, and FRONT & REAR AC!! And of course all the other options you would expect from the top of the line model such as: 400 Big block V8, Power Steering, Power Disc Brakes, Tilt, and the original AM/FM Radio, Factory Blue Tinted Glass, and the full trim package of body molding. Powered by a BBC 400 with 91k original miles with a smooth shifting 400 Turbo Hydromatic transmission. As you can see on the trim tag it is equipped with the big block hwy running gear and cruises at highway speeds. The engine starts up immediately and runs smooth. It handles very tight and just in general hits the road well much like a modern vehicle. I have personally drove this truck on 500+ mile road trips with absolutely no issues. Even though it has never sit for any period of time I had an entire tune up that included all the fluids, belts, and brakes gone through. The interior of this truck is absolutely gorgeous! It is all original and in unbelievable shape. No tears or scuffs of any kind. The dash and gauge bezels, steering wheel, glove box, and carpet are excellent. Hard to believe but it looks almost as good as it did back in 72! The bottom line is this the cleanest, nicest original survivor C/K Suburban I have ever came across. If your looking for an unmolested Suburban I assure you that you won't be disappointed in this one nor will you probably come across another like this ever again. If you have any questions please call Jeremy 864-940-4576 Note: I reserve the right to end this auction early as I will also be marketing it locally for sale. So if you want this truck please don't wait til the last minute to bid as it may already be gone. I can be reached through ebay or my phone number listed above.

Subprime financing on the rise in new car sales, leasing too
Fri, 07 Dec 2012We all remember the financial crisis that began several years back. At its core was a splurge of subprime lending for housing loans. The housing bubble burst, triggering a collapse of the mortgage-backed securities market. Apparently, those types of loans still exist in the automotive industry, and the market share for these types of "nonprime, subprime, and deep subprime," loans has grown 13.6 percent compared to the third quarter a year ago.
According to an Automotive News report, high-risk lending expanded to 24.8 percent of total loans in Q3, up from 21.9 percent for this time last year. As this level increased, average credit scores of borrowers dropped to 755, down from 763 a year ago. In that time, the average financing amount increased $90 per vehicle, to $25,963.
At 818, Volvo maintains the highest per-owner credit score, while Mitsubishi has the lowest, at 694. The highest rate of borrowers was at Toyota, with 14 percent of the market, followed by Ford with 13.1 percent and Chevrolet at 11.1.
New Takata problem results in recall of 414 GM vehicles
Mon, Oct 19 2015An airbag-inflator rupture discovered by Takata during testing has resulted in a new recall affecting 414 vehicles from General Motors, including 395 of them in the US. This latest campaign covers 2015 model-year examples of the Buick LaCrosse, Cadillac XTS, Chevrolet Camaro, Equinox, Malibu, and GMC Terrain. There are no reported breaks in any of these vehicles on the road, and the company estimates only one percent of them actually have the faulty parts. According to documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (as a PDF), one side-airbag inflator failed a cold test at -40 Fahrenheit "releasing high pressure gas and propelling the separated components apart." The supplier told GM about the failure the next day. In these vehicles, the safety device might not only burst but the bag could inflate incorrectly, as well. GM and Takata say that a cause is not yet known, but they are "conducting an investigation." GM will begin notifying affected owners via overnight mail on Oct. 19. Dealers will replace the side airbag modules on all of the affected vehicles with new components outside of the suspect lot. All of the removed parts will also be collected for further study. Takata's faulty front airbag inflators have resulted in a serious scandal for the supplier. Initial figures indicated 34 million US vehicles are need of repair, though more recent figures have knocked that down to 23.4 million bad parts in 19.2 million automobiles. GM was already among the dozen automakers with models to fix, and some of its pickups were affected, along with the Saab 9-2X and Pontiac Vibe. GM Statement: General Motors is recalling 395 cars and crossovers in the U.S. because one of the front seat side air bags inflators may be defective. In the event of a deployment, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not properly inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike the vehicle occupants, potentially resulting in serious injury or death. GM is unaware of any incidents involving vehicles with these components, which were part of a lot in which one inflator failed acceptance testing at the supplier. Dealers will replace the side air bag module or modules in affected vehicles. Including Canada, Mexico and exports, the total population of the recall is 414, GM estimates 1 percent of the recalled vehicles may have the defect.
UAW rejects GM contract proposal but makes a counter offer
Tue, Oct 1 2019The United Auto Workers union said a new comprehensive offer made by General Motors Co late Monday to end a two-week-old strike was not acceptable and said it had made a new counterproposal. UAW vice president Terry Dittes said in a letter to members "there are many important issues that remain unresolved." The union is awaiting GM's next proposal. He said GM's offer came up short on many issues. Dittes said GM made a "comprehensive proposal" at 9:40 p.m. Monday. "This proposal that the company provided to us on day 15 of the strike did not satisfy your contract demands or needs. There were many areas that came up short like health care, wages, temporary employees, skilled trades and job security to name a few." Dittes is the union's vice president for GM relations and the UAW's lead negotiator in these contract talks. "We have responded today with a counterproposal and are awaiting GM's next proposal to the union," he wrote. "Regardless of what is publicized in print or social media, etc., there are still many important issues that remain unresolved." The strike, in its third week, has cost GM more than $1 billion, according to J.P. Morgan analyst Ryan Brickman. He said the cost per day in potential profit is $82 million. However, another analysis, by East Lansing-based consultant Anderson Economic Group, put the losses at $25 million a day. And the effects of the strike are expanding. GM said Tuesday the strike has created a parts shortage that forced the automaker to halt production at its pickup and transmission plants in Silao, Mexico, temporarily laying off 6,000 workers. Silao is where GM builds its highly profitable four-door crew cab Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups. The strike has also forced GM to idle some Canadian workers, and many suppliers have been forced to halt operations. About 48,000 UAW members went on strike on Sept. 16 seeking higher pay, greater job security, a bigger share of the leading U.S. automaker’s profit and protection of their healthcare.Â
