***Vehicle Located in MA*** Zoom Classic Cars presents this 1949 Chevrolet Suburban Restomod. Combining the timeless styling of Chevrolet\'s legendary post-war Suburban with modern performance, comfort, and reliability, this beautifully executed 1949 Chevrolet Suburban Restomod is the result of a carefully planned California build that offers the best of both worlds. Retaining its unmistakable vintage character while incorporating modern drivability and convenience, this stunning example is equally at home on the highway, at a cruise night, or as a standout addition to any serious collection.The Chevrolet Suburban has long held a unique place in American automotive history. Originally designed as one of America\'s first true utility vehicles capable of carrying both passengers and cargo, the Suburban evolved into an icon that remains in production today. Early \"Carryall\" models such as this 1949 example have become increasingly sought after by collectors and custom builders due to their distinctive styling, versatility, and rarity. This Suburban was professionally built around its original frame, which was upgraded by Deuces Wild of California with a Ford 9-inch rear axle, four-link rear suspension, and coil-over shocks. Up front, a Heidt\'s independent front suspension with power rack-and-pinion steering delivers modern handling and road manners, while power four-wheel disc brakes with Hydroboost assist provide confident stopping power. Under the hood is a rebuilt 2008 GM 5.3-liter LS V8 engine with Custom pinstriped cover and paired with a 4L60 automatic overdrive transmission. The drivetrain benefits from a professionally engineered wiring harness and computer calibration from BP Automotive and is configured with modern drive-by-wire technology. All factory engine management systems remain functional, including knock sensors, O2 sensors, mass airflow sensor, intake air temperature sensor, crank position sensor, throttle position sensor, and idle air control. The result is a vehicle that starts instantly, idles smoothly, shifts and downshifts properly, and delivers the reliability expected from a modern powertrain. A recently upgraded 3.50 rear gear ratio provides excellent highway cruising capability while maintaining strong acceleration around town. The undercarriage is exceptionally clean and features a dual exhaust system equipped with Flowmaster mufflers that provide a muscular but refined exhaust note. Finished in an elegant two-tone Brown and Beige color combination accented by tasteful pinstriping, this Suburban presents beautifully from every angle. The body panels are solid, straight, and well aligned, while all trim, chrome, badging, and brightwork remain intact and in excellent condition. During the body restoration, the side vents and air intake openings were smoothed for a cleaner custom appearance, while the taillights were tastefully flush-mounted into the rear fenders and lower rear body panel. A custom fuel filler door and neck were also incorporated into the build. Rear doors open with a popper button located beneath the rear bumper as shown. Fuel delivery is handled by a new original-style fuel tank equipped with an electric fuel pump that primes upon key activation before startup. Inside, the cabin has been completely transformed with a rich brown leather interior that covers the seats, door panels, side panels, headliner, and steering wheel. Beautiful Dolphin gauges with Odometer showing 2,218 miles on the build. Passenger comfort was clearly a priority during the build, with a tilt-forward front passenger seat providing easy access to the rear seating area. Front and rear seat belts, tinted windows throughout, and extensive sound insulation make this a comfortable cruiser for long-distance travel. Climate control is handled by a front and rear air conditioning system, with the rear evaporator unit discreetly mounted behind the rear seat and floor-mounted vents directing airflow throughout the cabin. Entertainment is provided by a modern retro-style AM/FM Bluetooth audio system featuring all-new speakers, a subwoofer, and amplifier mounted beneath the driver\'s seat. A utility storage compartment behind the rear seat houses both the battery and audio equipment. Additional conveniences include a center console, overhead console with courtesy lighting and sunglass storage, and a beautiful chrome banjo-style steering wheel. The standard horn functions properly, while an onboard air compressor and storage tank power three chassis-mounted air horns for additional flair. Rolling on B/G Rod Shop chrome wheels wrapped in 235/45ZR17 front tires and 255/45R18 rear tires, this Suburban has an aggressive yet tasteful stance that perfectly complements its classic lines. Part of a collection of meticulously maintained classic and custom vehicles, this exceptional 1949 Chevrolet Suburban Restomod runs, drives, and handles beautifully. It is currently stored indoors in Massachusetts and is being offered with a clean title in the owner\'s name. If you\'ve been searching for a unique vintage SUV that combines iconic American styling with modern LS power, overdrive cruising, air conditioning, upgraded suspension, and outstanding craftsmanship, this remarkable Chevrolet Suburban deserves serious consideration. Be sure to check out the owner\'s equally impressive 1950 Plymouth Suburban Restomod, also being offered for sale.
