DESCRIPTION This Suburban is pretty much the King of the Road in every aspect.
Built from 1999-2000 by master craftsman Randy Haapala and intended to be his personal ride, his amazing machine soon caught the eye of one of the Southwests mostprominent collectors and rodder, nd turned into the long-haul ready masterpiece you see in the 100 photos below.
So much has been written about the truck, nd so much info is in the links below that I will not bother you with a ton of details unless you need more, o call me at 941-286-0889 if you have questions.
The truck finished its build in 2000, ent from Del Mar, A to Detroit, I on the first leg of the 2001 Hot Rod Power Tour, nd then DROVE BACK to San Bernadino, A without incident!
It has entered and won more shows, rophies, ccolades and titles than you care to read about, nd still continues doing so today! I have taken it to fivelocal and regional events in the past 60 days, nd won something at each of them!
It then went to a new owner who brought it to Florida, nd in 2003 hit the Hot Rod Power Tour AGAIN, riving from Florida to Nashville, N, hen to Fort Worth, X, nd finally BACK to Florida!
After that, t served the rest of time as a Sunday show car, nd has amassed just over 12,900 odd miles since the day the build was finished.
Yes, t has a couple of stone chips, ittle scuffs, nd normal use marks from being driven, ut as you can see, t still snaps heads like a chicken farmer when you drive into a show, nd really looks like it was probably completed a few years ago. No damage is evident. No rust, ot, r anything like that. It is still in show-ready condition and could be entered into a major like an NSRA or GoodGUYS show and be a contender. Most of the marks from road debris and stuff is found underneath the truck, hich has not been professionally cleaned like the rest of it. I am sure a lot would pressure wash off, nd that you could wipe away a lot of the dirt, ut as you can see in the chassis photos, t STILL looks better than most 2 year old builds you see these days!
PPG Toner Yellow is the color, nd it was sprayed on at Randy Haapalas former shop, he Body Palace. The color pops in the sun, nd damn near glows under the streetlights!
A 6-figure plus build gets taken care of pretty good by all of its owners, nd this rig has led a pretty cushy life, eing stored in climate and humidity controlled garages since birth.
The full custom interior that was personally done by Gabe at Gabes Upholstery is truly a sight to behold, nd looks absolutely new to this day! His work is impeccable, nd one look at all the details from fit and finish, anding, nd trim down to the custom made full-length floor mats throughout the truck remind you why Gabes has been the go-to shop for Californias best builders since early on!
Street & Performance did the build on the 1995 Corvette LT1 Fuel-injected V8 and mated it to a rebuilt 4L60E Automatic Overdrive transmission.
Wiring and install is show quality, nd most people marvel at how ultra-sano the engine bay looks with the smooth firewall, idden wiring, nd billet and chrome goodies from Zoops, arch, nd others.
Intro made the wheels for this truck, nd they still glisten and gleam like new to this day! The truck is found on the company website here:
http://www.introwheels.com/showroom/?occur=1&lang=en&slide&album=16&photo=Yellow%20Suburban
They are wrapped in recent rubber which has at least 75% of the USEABLE tread remaining, nd should get you from here to California without issue!
The truck was a GoodGuys Del Mar multiple award winner in 2000, nd the owner at that time actually told me the crowd started to BOOO him after the first 6-7 prizes!
It has been on the Brothers Truck Parts Catalog Cover, as been featured in SuperChevy, lassic Trucks, nd many other magazines, nd has built kind of a cult following for its rarity and provenance.
You CANNOT go to a show without 50 people coming up to ask you 100 questions while you try to keep 20 other folk from getting inside to take selfies with it!
It starts, uns, rives, tops, nd performs wonderfully. It is literally like driving a late model Tahoe or something. You can do 85on the freeway with ease, nd still scoot around in town with the A/C on high and not have any trouble either.
It is MORE than proven as a long-hauler, nd I have personally put about 500 miles on it in town and out to neighboring towns for cruises and events. It is just a joy to drive.
I am quite sure that
IF YOU COME HERE AND SEE IT, OU WILL BUY IT.
It is clean and ready to show right now, nd we have not formally detailed it! This is how nice it has been kept since it was built! Imagine how nice it will look when you take the time to get all the nooks and crannies!
IT HAS A FLORIDA STATE TITLE AS A 1957 GMC
MILEAGE IS SHOWING AS EXEMPT ON TITLE, nd the functional odometer is showing 12,936 as of the time of this listing.
