1968 Chevy Suburban Three Door factory four speed.

Offering a rare 1968 Chevrolet Suburban. This sweetheart Suburban is a survivor, perfect as is or ready for resto-mod.
In my opinion, the coolest of the Suburbans, was the 1967-1972 Chevrolets. These all had the fabulous 3-door style, with that gorgeous long left rear fender. Of these, I believe the '67 & '68 to be the most attractive because they have the slanted front end, while the '69-72 fronts are flat up & down. As the '67s did not have side markers, in my mind, that makes the '68 the best. My family calls her "Bluebury".
Suburbans of this generation had little plastic. Grill, headlamp bezels, dash were ALL METAL!
I am only selling this gem because I am needing a ¾ ton model K for towing; this is the ½ ton model C, two-wheel drive.
This Suburban has its original body/chassis with 292 cid straight six as from factory. Along the way, it has been given some mild vintage speed equipment with a Holley 4-bbl carb, Clifford finned intake manifold and exhaust headers but can very easily be returned back to factory OEM specs. Orig. 4-speed manual tranny.
