I saw only 1 67-72 burb at Good Guys - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I might have missed seeing some but I don't think so but there was only 1 67-72 burb that I saw at the Good Guys Car Show. It was a sweeet looking 72 that was for sale.
Why isn't there more out there?
I did however see a lot of 67-72 pickups.

It's because the guys/gals that are cool enough to restore Suburban's are far and few between!

I think in comparison of how many trucks they made versus suburbans the burbs were much rarer to begin with. Also its alot easier to piece a truck together from many different rigs where a burb is alot harder to piece together if it is in rough shape. That and you really do have to be awesome to take on a challenge as big as a burb!

Idk why you did not see more than one but up here in southern oregon they are pretty rare to see them actually on the road and moving under there own power..

I parked next to that burb on Friday. talked to the owner and his crew. really nice guys, I believe they were from Holden, MO. never asked what he was wanting for it. that was expensive paint, red and a LOT of it! btw, it sounded REAL good!

matter of fact, he visits this forum from time to time.

Yep, that's the one we saw. That is a beautiful burb you have. My son and I thought that was one of the nicest ones we've ever seen.

Ha. Send it anyway.
