Need a limo but want a Suburban?

If you need a limo but want a suburban your dreams have just come true. Not mine, but cheap enough that someone here will consider it once they find a way to tow it home.

That's not a limo, that's a bus.

I don't understand why the limo companies try to convince people that a stretched van is anything but a bus.

Pretty sure that is technically an airport limo, but it requires a bus license to drive.

It looks like it could really benefit from a Quadrasteer conversion...

I want to rewind the world back to 1973...........

Man I'd pay $100 to see my wife park that thing!

Is that how much your insurance deductible is?

that thing is awesome.. would love to get it and lift it military axles and 53's. Only problem would be that you would need a hell of a set of running boards to get everyone up into theirs doors. It would do well at the truck tug a war, though, if you had enough friends...

My dad's got a normal 'burb of that body style, and it has a terrible turning radius. I wonder what happens when you double the wheelbase? Measured in acres.

I'm pretty sure it needs that just to cope with the curvature of the earth...

Also...the roof rack is probably structural. Continuously loaded in compression, lol.

its still awesome. the more I look at it the more I want it.

Thank God it's in PA and not somewhere closer.

I actually bought some other parts in franklin a year or two ago.

For some reason, I like it.

I would drive that to work, then spend the rest of the day trying to find a parking space. It looks really cool for a grand though.

Rocker panels and doors are soft inplaces.

I feel sorry for his girlfriend.

I have a special place in my heart for this gen burb! Grew up with an '82 and tow now with an '86!

With that much weight I bet the "limo" is slow as hell

We have the same thing at my work except in International Travel All version.

The CL ad was deleted before I saw it, but if the 'Burb limo has a 454, it's probably no slouch. My dad has an enclosed car hauler built on a '86 C30 crew cab with a big block, with the wheelbase extended at least as far as this limo and an 18' box on the back, and it will walk away from my '88 C1500 with a 305 - which I find very depressing. That hauler has cemented my love for the big block in trucks - it just has seemingly endless reserves of torque.

Where did you get that front reciever hitch? I've been looking for one for my 89 Burb.
