Autohunter Spotlight: 1966 Gmc Series 1000 Custom Suburban

Right now on AutoHunter, you can find this 1966 GMC Series 1000 Custom Suburban, which received more than $45,000 in updates and modifications during a frame-off restoration. It’s equipped with a 350ci V8 paired with a 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission. Finished in turquoise and pearl white over a black and light turquoise vinyl interior, this classic American SUV comes from the selling dealer in Missouri with receipts, a spare wheel and tire, and a clear title.

As part of the restoration process, the body was repaired, media-blasted, and repainted the current combination of turquoise for the body and pillars, and pearl white for the roof. In addition, new glass was installed. Other exterior features include chrome bumpers, bright trim, white mirror housings, sliding side windows, a rear lift-up window/tailgate combo, and dual exhaust outlets.

A set of gray 20-inch U.S. Mags Desperado wheels with polished lips and 245/45 Toyo Extensa HP II radial tires give this Suburban a distinctive, custom look. Behind the wheels are power front disc and rear drum brakes.

The two doors open to a cabin with two rows of black and diamond-quilted light turquoise vinyl seating. The interior is equipped with power steering, air conditioning, lap belts, a floor-mounted custom console with cup holders, and a GMC AM radio. Wood planks form the floor of the cargo area.

Instrumentation consists of a 100-mph speedometer and gauges for the oil pressure, water temperature, and fuel level. A pair of aftermarket gauges display the fuel level and temperature. The odometer indicates 16,147 miles, but this vehicle’s title shows that it’s mileage-exempt.

Under the hood is a 350ci V8 equipped with an Edelbrock intake manifold, an Edelbrock four-barrel carburetor, and long-tube headers. In 2019, a new MSD ignition was installed along with new spark plugs and wires, distributor, electronic fuel pump, and throttle linkage. The following year, a 700R4 four-speed automatic with a transmission cooler was added to the build.

If you love the look of classic GM trucks and SUVs, but prefer more modern features, this 1966 GMC Suburban is perfect for you. Bid on it often and bid high before the auction ends on Tuesday, January 27, 2026, at 11:30 a.m. (MST).
