WIW - '72 Burb

[sdailey]

A fellow truck guy is trying to sell his surburban and I told him I'd help out if I could. I know nothing about surburbans so I'm asking the experts to give their opinions about this one. If anyone is interested I can give you the guy's contact info. According to the owner it runs and drives fine.

Once again I know nothing about this one other than what I saw when I took the pictures, so I'll try to answer any questions that I can.

It's got a lot of nice options (BB, tilt, am/fm, 3 seats) and it's a 1/2 ton. Now for the questions that need to be answered before a good price estimate can be determined:

1) How bad is the rust? Is it all external or do body mounts and floorboards have to be replaced?
2) Does it run and drive? Looks like the motor may have been rebuilt. How long ago? How about the transmission?
3) Does the a/c work?
4) Are the brakes good?
5) Is the glass good?
6) ................

I know this doesn't help a lot, but without knowing the answers, it's hard to come up with a price.

Just for example, I've got a 70 Big Block Burb (link in my sig) with only 102K miles, that has minimal rust and runs and drives well. It doesn't have all the options yours does, but looks like the body is in better shape. I've had it listed for $4250 for a couple of months. Several bites but no takers, . It's in NM, so that might be part of my problem. Just trying to give you some info to help you figure it out .

PS Is the owners name Jerry? If so I think I know him.

That's about all I know about it. Thanks for the help.

Those are some nice options, too bad the body is rough; it could have made a cool tahoe.

Rough guess and I am not trying to hurt anyone's feelings, but $2k ish, worth more in parts maybe. I sold a 72 zero rust, ac, highlander, etc, etc no tilt and a 350 for $2k and it took me 2-3 months and I had to drop the price repeatedly.
