Overview
The 1968 Chevrolet Suburban is an American icon, reimagined here through a comprehensive RELIC Custom build that blends classic presence with thoroughly modern performance and comfort. Power comes from a Whipple-supercharged 6.2-liter V8 paired with a 8-speed automatic transmission and electronically controlled four-wheel drive, giving this Suburban effortless acceleration and true all-weather capability. Beneath it all is a custom RELIC frame with GM independent front suspension, along with factory GM traction control, ABS, and magnetic ride control, resulting in a driving experience that feels far more modern than its vintage roots suggest.
Finished in red with a white roof, the exterior strikes a confident balance between heritage styling and contemporary upgrades. LED lighting sharpens both its look and visibility, while oversized 20" slotted wheels and Wrangler DuraTrac tires give it a purposeful, planted stance. Amp Research PowerStep XL running boards make entry easy, and the addition of roof racks and a hitch receiver adds genuine utility. Refinished chrome brightwork ties the presentation together, giving the truck a crisp, high-quality appearance that reflects the depth of the restoration.
Inside, the cabin has been completely transformed with a new Denali-sourced instrument cluster and interior trimmed in brown and tan upholstery. A custom dash houses a GMC steering wheel and gauge cluster, along with a Linkswell 12.1" touchscreen that brings modern functionality into the vintage shell. Front and rear climate control keep the cabin comfortable, while factory GMC power heated and cooled front seats and GMC rear seats make it a place you can actually enjoy spending time in. Custom door panels, power windows and locks, automatic headlights, and a premium Focal audio system round out an interior that feels both upscale and purpose-built.
Mechanically, this Suburban is built to deliver modern performance and confidence. The supercharged 6.2-liter V8 is managed by a GM ECU and backed by a 8-speed automatic, while Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes provide serious stopping power. The electronically controlled four-wheel-drive system, combined with the modern suspension and chassis, gives this truck real capability without sacrificing comfort or refinement. With its blend of classic design, high-end craftsmanship, and contemporary engineering, this 1968 Chevrolet Suburban stands as a compelling opportunity to own a fully reimagined vintage SUV that’s as usable as it is striking.
