Love the Suburban,...and also the Blazers of that generation, Great find, I'm happy for you! Wayne

[@MikeFrankovich]

Thanks 👍

[@ricksanders9415]

Had a 4×4 For A Snow - Plow Truck & WHAT A BEAST ... NEVER Got Stuck ... ROCK ON ~

[@MikeFrankovich]

Thanks

[@johncornell3665]

Sweet square body with the 454. Great buy. Cant go wrong with that vehicle. Thanks for sharing, Mike

[@MikeFrankovich]

it's a tank and parts availability is excellent.

[@johncornell3665]

@@MikeFrankovich yup cant expect great mpg when its heavy and big block. If it were me, I would keep it, just sayin

[@MikeFrankovich]

@@johncornell3665 It’s too good to let go of.

[@donhoffman3206]

Your new Jukeboxes will love the Suburban. I love Jukeboxes especially the one at our Susie-Q poolhall in the 60's-70's. Yes I got a stack of oldie 45s when the owner brought in the latest hits.. ."Hold on, I'm Comin!" by Sam and Dave is one of em.

[@MikeFrankovich]

I have thousands upon thousands of 45s. My other KZbin channel was for my records.

[@donhoffman3206]

@@MikeFrankovich Mike, tx for the heads up ! You got tons of great videos besides cars. Yes you have thousands of 45's. Do you catalogue them/ sell them? I too collect many 78's. My earliest is 1906. Back in the 60's, 70's and 80's I went to Chicago searching vintage music. That is when I discovered Delmark Records/ Bob Koester. Wow he had mint unplayed 78's from late 30's and 40's with the rainbow gloss on the grooves. I played them once to record them and now I listen to Big Joe Williams as I cruise around in my 1981 Black Biarritz. Doesn't get better.

[@allenstanchfield]

i like it Mike,perfect for hauling,massive room inside,a keeper.

[@MikeFrankovich]

It's pretty cool

[@chadmiller6129]

Those Alpines were the best back in the day. Looks like a great score

[@MikeFrankovich]

That was the stereo to have. It still works. Haven't tried the cassette yet though.

[@Cbourbon454]

I would personally keep it. While the 7.4 likes to drink, it is a durable engine and a few modern upgrades, you can squeak better mileage out of it. Interior is great, exterior looks amazing. Id keep it. With the kind of vehicles we have today, these suburbans stand the test of time being in the condition yours is in. Built well and durable. Best of luck with it!! 🙏

[@cathyhyland6231]

Hi Mike, that looks like a pretty cool old beast. If you don't mind the odd repair and a bit of tinkering, go for it and enjoy. thanks for sharing.

[@MikeFrankovich]

Thanks, will do!

[@philipbennett2973]

Nice rig bought and sold many of them you can always find a reason to keep and a reason to sell one of these

[@MikeFrankovich]

Very true!

[@user-gc1zn5mn4p]

Mike, of course it's your decision what you do with your vehicles. With a bit of work that would be a good daily hauler.

[@MikeFrankovich]

Its very close to being a great driver.

[@theodorehall322]

keep it as it is well maintained & hard to come by!

[@MikeFrankovich]

They’re not usually this clean

[@SevenBears1]

Nice find.. I'd polish it and keep it.

[@MikeFrankovich]

That's the plan

[@RobertNebel-e7h]

Nice 86 Suburban. I'd keep it, Mike. Make a nice hauler, especially w/454. I had 85 Full size Jimmy. Now I have a 05 Yukon.

[@MikeFrankovich]

They're awesome trucks. Had a '73 Chevy Suburban 454 for a short period of time many years ago.

[@richardmartinez5941]

That's a good buy Mike! Very nice suburban👍

[@reggiepotts3437]

I had an 86, just loved it. trade it for a 91. my all time best was a 2005

[@MikeFrankovich]

People who have these tend to stick to them. I remember that when I worked at Thorson Buick/GMC

[@jamesparker6017]

Coral Gables 🌴🇺🇸 Hehe. NICE 👌 We have a classic 1988 GMC one ton 454 duelly. Love it. 🏄

[@MikeFrankovich]

They're great trucks!

[@DavidMartinez-yi8kz]

Keep it forever!

[@builtgirl87]

Hi Mike, congrats on the "new" car! I'm long overdue in commenting how much I enjoy your channel and all the videos. Something I've been hoping to see is a video on the Studebaker. Hope its coming along well, and thanks for the hours of entertainment you provide!

[@MikeFrankovich]

I have some video shot on the Studebaker, but it's not on the road yet. I did drive it around the parking lot at my friend Chuck's place. The brakes are still sketchy and there's some wiring to be done. Need to get back out to Palm Springs to work on it.

[@ralphdeex6671]

Looks like the new shop vehicle

[@MikeFrankovich]

So many uses for this one

[@Brium07]

Nice video and nice car. thank you

[@MikeFrankovich]

Thank you too!

[@ChrisEddings-m8f]

Slap some wood-grain over that gray, and stick a surf-board in the back. :)

[@MikeFrankovich]

Could be a surf wagon

[@jimdavis3913]

Very nice truck,good buy😊

[@MikeFrankovich]

It was a great deal

[@davidrmartinez8709]

[@MikeFrankovich]

That's what I'm doing

[@lilpoindexter]

if you dont keep it, dont part it out, its too nice

[@MikeFrankovich]

I'm keeping it

[@aladwanit]

You got to wash it and get some details

[@michaelpnellis]

Keep it Mike, sell that gawd awful Gremlin or what ever you've been driving lately.

[@raykaufman7156]

Cool score. Looks like you have a utility vehicle. Vote Trump and get gas prices back where they belong! 👍😎
