1972 Chevrolet C10 Suburban
Why we picked it
The 1967-72 Suburban shares its chassis with the C10 pickup of the same years, so suspension, brake and engine-swap parts are easy to find. This two-wheel-drive C10 has a rebuilt 350 V8 that the seller says has about 6,000 miles on it, a 4-speed manual, and power steering and brakes. It also has new paint, new upholstered bench seats, new wheels and tires, and a tow package. The dealer says it runs and drives great.
At $21,500 it costs about the same as a 1967 project that sold on BaT in May. Driver-grade 1967-72 Suburbans have sold for $27,000 to $40,000 over the past year. Check the paint quality and the metal under it, but a buyer starts with a running truck and room in the budget.
The value check
The seller is asking $21,500. Comparable cars in the same condition have sold for $27,250–$40,700, so the middle of the market is about $33,975. That put this car 37% under.
Driver-grade and lightly modified 1967-72 Suburbans have sold for $27,250 to $40,700 in the last year. Several K10s were bid to $34,000-$35,500 without selling, and a 1967 project sold for $22,250.

What to check
- The listing does not state the title status. Ask for a clean California title in the dealer's name.
- The odometer reading is marked TMU. The 6,686 miles likely count from the engine rebuild, so ask for rebuild receipts.
- New paint can hide filler. Check the cab corners, rockers, rear quarter wheel lips, the floor under the rear seats and the rear door or tailgate bottoms.
- The dealer gives no written condition report. Get a pre-purchase inspection or a detailed video of the underside.
Making it drive like new
Bolt-on parts for the 67-72 C10, such as a drop-spindle or coilover front end, a 4-link rear, four-wheel disc brakes and rack-and-pinion steering, all fit this Suburban. An overdrive gearbox (T56 or 4L60E), aftermarket A/C and a modern fuel-injected small block make it a usable family hauler.
