This Chevrolet Suburban Is So '90s It Hurts
This Chevrolet Suburban Is So '90s It Hurts-October 2024

1996 Chevrolet Suburban

Growing up in Georgia during the 1990s, it seemed like everybody had . They were absolutely everywhere. My family went the far superior route and bought a Mazda MPV when my brother was born, but if I was riding with friends, there’s a good chance it was in a Suburban. Sadly, none of my friends’ parents had a Suburban that was reportedly built for SEMA.

The combination of pink, purple and white paint and the nostrils on the hood of this machine aren’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea, but man, it’s just so ‘90s I couldn’t not write about it when I saw . Remember the days when a 5.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 only made 250 hp and 335 lb-ft of torque?

If you buy this Suburban, though, it should be a good bit quicker than those figures suggest because it’s been given a Vortech supercharger. Sadly, the seller doesn’t have a dyno sheet, so we don’t actually know how much power it currently makes.

Check out the interior, too. The seats aren’t really seats. They’re basically La-Z Boy recliners with seatbelts. I can still smell the leather in the one that our neighbors had, although this one probably smells a bit different thanks to the Leather Craft leather upholstery.

It’s also probably a little bit easier to get in and out of than the Suburbans from my childhood because it’s reportedly been lowered three inches. There’s a rear-seat entertainment system that includes a television, cassette player, and VHS player, too. We were able to watch movies on road trips in the ‘90s, too, but that was on a portable TV that my parents secured between the front seats with bungee cords.

There are still four days left on the auction, so it’s hard to tell how much this rad Suburban is going to sell for. But at the time I’m writing this, it’s sitting at a very reasonable $5,500 with only three bids. So if you want to live out some ‘90s nostalgia, you may be able to get it for a reasonable price.

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...
