Good bye golden burb
I bought my suburban 15 yrs ago for $100. It truly was a inspirational buy.
That's a different story. Last week I crashed the burb along with my trailer and a few days before I got laid off. Money and jobs will come and go but it's had to find a $100 GOLDEN BURB.

Wow, that's a bummer.... I guess there are a lot of good parts on it still, but no you will probably not find another $100 GoldenBurb...  LockDoc

YIKES! Yes, I hope everyone is ok.
Looks like a lot of good parts on it. I wouldn't just junk it.

Re: Good bye golden burb
Good to hear you are okay. Trailer wrecks can be very scary. Great story with the $100 entry fee to Burban world. With that low of a price it's a shame to have to face parting with it, but I understand that food and shelter thing. I hope things turn around for you.

Re: Good bye golden burb
Glad you ok. Sorry you had to go through that. Do you plan on looking for a new Suburban? I know you said in another post you've already started to put together some parts for it.

Re: Good bye golden burb
Glad to hear your okay.
Also glad to hear you found a replacement project. Just out of curiosity, how did the crash happen? I'm assuming the GB was towing the trailer?

My 67K20 Suburban has the green color for the interior. Looks like yours had three seats!
