Re: Three Very Different Vehicles On Eighties Cars

My brother had a 1979 C10 Custom Deluxe pickup, much like that 1985 Suburban, under the skin.

And we have a 1999 Suburban, based off the next generation pickup platform (GMT400, that sounds right).

Our Suburban is about the same size as that 1985, but is super nice inside and the ole 350 puts out more HP than the 454 did and gets over 20 MPG on the highway! At 215k miles, its chugging along just fine. I should note, ours has a 44 gallon tank... not only is it expensive to fill, it is a test of patience!!!

The Biturbo was always a fave, just because it looked so comfy inside!!! I knew they were junk, but they were pretty junk. I would get one, and then drop in an LSx conversion.

The 924 was never a fave... the 944 arrived and looked so much more refined and resolved. It just made the 924 look old and cheap.
