I think that this Burb is a little pricey ( by 5000.00) seeing its a 3/4 ton 4x2 and has been repainted. I'm pretty sure it was on Ebay a while ago and didn't sell.

I was gonna say... Wow, prices on these old burbs sure have increased.
Bout the only thing that caught my eye were the seats, since they looked really cherry.

(I'm bitter about vendors not selling OEM style seat covers for 67/68 Suburban benches). :devil:

It looks like a nice completed well-optioned California Burb to me. If it is solid underneath and the paint and body are good, $12,500 is probably not over priced in my opinion. You couldn't buy and restore one to that condition for less.

I agree... a well optioned California burb with no rust, original panels & rockers, etc. - can fetch decent money in California. If this one has tach, tilt, am/fm (it has front/rear air), chrome/trim is good, plus complete interior - pretty hard to find one, and to make one = dollars.

If it has a cheap paint job... that'd be a bummer - I think I saw this one posted somewhere else online and I recall seeing some orange peel.

I'm kinda leaning towards the paint being on the lower end, since all the door strikers and latches were painted over along with all the plastic hole plugs.

I agree, to me the strikers and latches being painted over that makes it look cheap and tacky which makes me wonder what other corners were cut when it was painted/restored. Details are a big item especialy when you are selling something to someone that knows what they are looking at like us guys do.

He goes by ddaak63 on ebay. He sells 67-72 trucks and burbs primarily.

My computer wouldn't load the pictures, so I only got to read the description. It must be pretty rare as I have never seen a front wheel drive suburban before.

I've had little interest in mine, unfortunately...and it's a rarely optioned original.
