Vehicles have by no means appealed to me, and I’ve by no means had the chance to be taught if I’d change my thoughts. Nonetheless, it clearly doesn’t take an fans to deduce that vans are scorching on the 2024 Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Public sale (and have been for a number of years) so I walked the imply streets of Westworld to seek out one which struck my fancy. Girls and gents, introducing this practice 1972 GMC Jimmy.

In fact, that is GMC’s model of the Chevrolet K5 Blazer, however there are sufficient variations in its styling (particularly the grille) for folk to favor one over the opposite. In line with the vendor, this Jimmy has acquired 1,000 hours of devotion to deliver it to the situation you see right here. It’s powered by a JEGS 5.3-liter LM7 small-block with 460 horsepower paired with a 4L60E four-speed automated and 208 switch case. A Griffin PerformanceFit Radiator helps maintain the engine cool.

The physique has been stripped and primed from prime to backside, in line with the vendor, and I’ve to confess the inexperienced hue with tan prime (with matching Rally wheels) is what pulled me in. Inside, you’ll discover a tasteful, custom-fabricated inside that invokes the period through which this Jimmy was constructed. Trendy facilities encompass the cabin, from the Previous Air Merchandise system to the Dakota Digital VHX instrument cluster and “retro-style stereo.”

This Jimmy offered on Saturday, January twenty seventh for $150,700. Kudos definitely ought to go to the builder for having the sensibility to create such a lovely truck.
