Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Thanks to Chevybowtieguy 79! He had a lead for me on a nice 72 Burb, so I contacted the seller of this one before it was advertised. And it was only 3 hours from our home. Bought it today and had a nice cruise back.

This is different for me as I typically buy projects or those vehicles needing a good project going over.

This was a solid Texas Burb built with a 6.0 LS and 4L80e, Painless wiring, really cold Vintage Air, properly dropped, Dakota Digital gauges, 3:73 rear.

Owner set it up with engine, transmission and differential temp sensors that display on the DD gauges. Tap up tap down cruise control and tilt wheel make for a nice ride. Solid body (pictures of body work included) nice paint and new chrome are way too good for me...but still kinda nice.

It does need a few revisions (exhaust for one) though it is pretty decent as is.

We are pretty excited with this one and plan to take her on HRPT 2015.

Super nice burb!

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Nice burb! Glad you found one!

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Thanks guys! CBTG79 we will hook up on HRPT I am sure.

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Wow, nice ride!

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Sweeeeeeeeet

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Nice ride AD

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Appreciate the positive words guys. It is way nicer than any I've had before...except for maybe a 69 Corvette. I've wanted a nice 67 to 72 Burb for awhile and kept totalling up what I would spend to start with a nice one then build it like this one. I believe I would have spent more going that route....or at least close...and a lot of work to get there. Yeah, I really enjoy the build process, so we will drive this one and get our build kicks on the 48.

Fixed first broken part today...door handle push button problem...chincy reproduction...

Love it! The color, stance, wheels, and drivetrain are all spot on!

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Wow......... Very nice indeed!

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

I love it! Did you happen to record your mpg on the way home?

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Thanks guys, now I am more aware of scratches and door dings! Leon,we will have fun cruising and taking our Grandsons to shows. Wanna make memories.

Highwinger, I didn't though the seller claimed 19 mpg on HRPT last year. It turns 2,300 rpm at 70.

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Not bad at all. I would have been concerned the 3:73 rear would hurt the mileage.

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Sweet Burb! Love that color. Don't worry about scratches. I would rather have a Suburban that is used and has scratches than one that is cherry but never leaves the garage.

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Thanks and I agree 1956Cameo....we are going to drive the wheels off this one!

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Sounds like an excellent plan!

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Very nice

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Glad you finally found one Doug!

It looks sweet and I am looking forward to seeing the small changes you do to make it yours. Hopefully I will get to park mine next to it one day.

Oh and I am glad to see its a "four eyes"... :gmc2:

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 

Thanks Iceburgh and Jason! There are some updates the Burb can use - exhaust, brake upgrade, second row seat change for legroom - we may not get on them for awhile. Saturday we plan to take the Burb to a car show with our Grandsons who are 8 and 3. It will be their first show and should be fun.

Would be cool to meet up at a show somewhere and park by Betty or Iceburghs awesome Suburban.

We took the Grandsons to a car show today. We had a nice time.
