Lot #686 - This 1986 GMC Jimmy custom SUV is the product of a professional nut-and-bolt, frame-off restoration by premier builder Special Blend Motor Garage of Farr West, UT. The restoration took more than 2,000 labor hours to complete. It is a fresh, retro-modern build that was finished in December 2022 and has been driven 200 tuning miles since completion. The 525hp Chevy Orange powerplant is composed of a Texas Speed forged internals 6.2-liter GM LS3 engine with a BTR Truck Norris camshaft, FAST LSXR intake, Holley fuel injection and DeatschWerks injectors trimmed with a Holley accessory drive and vintage coil covers. The engine features a stainless-steel Borla dual exhaust and is mated to a built 6L80E 6-speed automatic transmission delivering power to all four wheels via a GM NP261 manual transfer case. This GMC sits atop a modern GM chassis equipped with modern GM factory independent front suspension and a 4-link rear with a BDS-Fox 4-inch lift and Fox DSC adjustable coilovers, and also has rack & pinion steering. This vehicle rides on AMP Terrain Attack MT/A tires, with Mayhem Voyager dark bronze wheels, and is brought to a halt by Wilwood Hydro-Boosted 6-piston slotted and drilled disc brakes. Attention to detail is shown with a Dakota Digital cluster, rearview backup camera and cruise control. A military spec Techflex woven wrap looms the American Autowire body harness and ECM harness, with Deutsch connectors throughout. The brake lines and hardware fasteners are completely composed of stainless steel, with a modern GM factory fuel cell and tow package. The original steel of this GMC was in rust-free condition prior to the restoration. The chassis, entire body and undercarriage were media-blasted, then coated in PPG corrosion-resistant epoxy. U-Pol Raptor bedliner coats the frame and undercarriage to prevent future corrosion. This Jimmy has been professionally body-worked and finished in BASF two-tone Midnight Blue Metallic and Olympic White. The Relicate leather finishes off the interior with GMC luxury class. Triple-layer, wall-to-wall sound-deadening and heat-shielding allow the Restomod Air system to keep everything cold, while a Kenwood JBL RetroSound audio system pipes full sound throughout the cabin. An SBMG-designed center jump seat conceals a tech hub console to keep gear charged and organized.
