1968 Chevrolet Suburban with a 6.0 LS swap, CPP suspension, four-wheel discs and Vintage Air

Why we picked it

The dealer lists this 1968 Suburban with a 6.0-liter LS V8 and a four-speed overdrive automatic. It also has Classic Performance Products suspension, power four-wheel disc brakes, power steering, an aluminum radiator with electric fans and a transmission cooler, Vintage Air, digital gauges, a console with charging ports, a Sony head unit and Weld wheels. The VIN shows it is a 2WD C10 model.

Those are the upgrades RodderMods readers would usually pay for one at a time, and restomod 1967-72 Suburbans have recently sold for $40,000 to $53,000 at auction. The listing gives no details on body, paint, rust or mileage, so inspect it before you buy. If the body holds up, $30,894 is a strong starting point for a usable pro-touring hauler.

The value check

The seller is asking $30,894. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $31,900–$52,800, so the middle of the market is about $42,350. That put this car 27% under.

Modified and restomod 1967-72 Suburbans have sold from $31,900 (1970 4x4, rebuilt 350, Barrett-Jackson) to $52,800 (1972 4x4 supercharged LS, Barrett-Jackson); a 1970 SEMA-built 2WD brought $40,700 at Mecum. At $30,894 it is about 27% under the $42,350 midpoint.

Where the numbers come from:

• 1970 Suburban (Disenchanted build), Mecum Sep 2026, $40,700
• 1972 Suburban 4x4 supercharged LS, Barrett-Jackson Jan 2026, $52,800
• 1970 Suburban 4x4 modified, Barrett-Jackson Jan 2026, $31,900
• Suburban 6th Gen sold results (classic.com)

What to check

• The listing gives no mileage, rust, paint or title details: ask for undercarriage photos and confirm a clean title
• Check the rocker panels, cab corners, the floors under the rear seats, the tailgate and the rear wheel arches, which rust on these Suburbans
• Ask who did the LS swap: check the wiring harness, the computer tune, fuel pump and lines, and the transmission cooling
• Confirm the brand and condition of the four-wheel discs and CPP parts, and look for leaks and worn bushings
• The truck seems to have been listed on ClassicCars.com for several months, so there may be room to negotiate

Making it drive like new

Most of the drivetrain, brake and comfort work is done. Next steps could be better seats and belts, a sound and heat insulation kit, LED lighting, and an alignment and tire setup tuned for the CPP suspension. If the stock frame is tired, a front subframe or crossmember refresh would help.
