I bought this a few years back. The supercharger really sold me, but it has so much work done to it. Canepa would order these from the factory as a Cheyenne model and modify it for their customer. This one must have about $30k of upgrades done to it.

The suspension was completely upgraded: shocks, springs, swaybars. It handles way better than a Suburban should.

There is a JL Audio 8" subwoofer installed in a welded aluminum box under the driver side middle row seat. There are two (?) Clarion head units, although one only sends sound to the subwoofer. I have never tracked down the connection to the other amp that powers the rest of the speakers. The main head unit has an LCD display for the backup camera.

A lady hit it in the parking lot of my shop one night. The body was so straight before that. I have not gotten around to fixing it yet.

What a cool find. A friend had an older TBI 454 ECLB dually with a custom interior with a similar feel to that. You just don't come across that stuff often.

Nice suburban! Interestingly, while the regular front seats for middle row it is hard to establish?

Thanks! It was all custom. Those were very comfortable seats.

I sold it on Monday, so down the road it goes. Getting a new car for my wife and I will inherit her 2006 Pathfinder.

Hey fellow Californian!

Neat burb, cool silver color. I find it interesting that the chevy grille was modified to remove the logo. Any engine bay pics?

Nice find..... I noticed the wheels.... I have the same ones / 16". Made by Progressive Wheels in So Cal... ( I think they are no longer in business )

I put my GPS inside the dash, where you have the clock.

The engine bay was not impressive. It looked like wiring was added over the years and not neatly installed. It had an air horn that was not installed very cleanly.

Sweet Burb! Love all of the body-colored parts, smoothie bumpers, and that delicious wood-trim! And does it even have auxiliary back up lights?
