1989 GMC Jimmy 4X4

Description

Loaded, and versatile - this 1989 GMC Jimmy 4x4 hits the mark for a cool classic. And with everything from an overdrive transmission to cold-blowing A/C, this remains quite a handy SUV.

The upgraded wheel package shown off by the tall stance is the definition of outdoor elegance on the big GMC's squared-off bodywork. The two-tone gray and black look nice with its detailed style that includes the color-matched hardtop and a distinctive red pinstripe to separate the colors along the body. It has the right look of a premium SLE spec Jimmy, right down to the full body trim. But the finish and body package never takes itself so seriously that you'll stop using this as a real 4x4. After all, this has the stance and stature of a vehicle built for fun and function. There are even wide towing mirrors and a proper trailer hitch to make sure you can take more of it all with you.

The SLE trim meant adding luxury to your capability. So the interior has a long list of desirable features like power front windows, power locks, cruise control, and cold-blowing air conditioning. That last one is particularly important because this was one of the last few years where you could remove the full rear hardtop on the Jimmy and have a convertible-like SUV. There are areas where you may decide to add an improvement or upgrades, but overall, it feels like a commanding driver from day one. That's because you have a high-back driver's bucket seat finished in a plush cloth. The cup holder center console, tilt steering column, and contoured gauge panel make it great for real drivers.

Under the hood is solid small block power with the 350 cubic-inch V8. This is a center-bolt crate motor that's built with desirable features like a Holley four-barrel carburetor, a Chevy performance intake, an HEI distributor, and Hedman headers feeding into the dual exhaust. It's a powerful heart that's great for a true off-roader like this. After all, the tall stance and Falken Wildpeak tires work with the two-speed 4x4 transfer case to be plenty of fun when the pavement ends. But as much as this all sounds like a great way to drive through the dirt, the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive, power steering, power brakes, and front discs make this a pleasant 4x4 for all occasions.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual and maintenance records. We like how this one gives you the clean and sturdy lines that have made these such desirable classics. And the modifications made to it are about enhancing the ability instead of making it too pretty to get to work/play. So if you want to have fun today, and work into something quite personal for tomorrow, you know this Jimmy is an awesome classic SUV. Call now!
