While SUVs account for what feels like every other car on the road these days, with many crossovers being more car than truck, it was not so until almost forty years ago. Cars were cars, and trucks were trucks. That is the era from which this 1988 GMC S15 Jimmy comes. Repainted in what appears to be a shade of Cerulean Blue, it retains its staunch boxy construction with clean-looking body panels and trim. Inside, we find the sea of blue continues with cozy bucket seats up front and a two-person bench in the back, complete with dual armrests. A no-frills dashboard keeps things simple and easy, while the analog HVAC controls sit easily within the driver's reach.
Under the hood, we find a GM 2.8-liter V-6 engine that uses throttle-body injection and makes 125 horsepower and 150 pounds of torque in stock form. That power is routed through a column-shifted four-speed automatic transmission before heading to the ten-bolt rear end. Currently, the 4WD system is non-operational. However, given the budget price, the new owner can enjoy the vehicle as it sits or invest time and money to be operational again. The S15 Jimmy rides on a torsion bar, shocks up front, and leaves springs and shocks out back. Fifteen-inch wheels are shod in 255/70R-15 Telstar rubber, hiding a set of power disc brakes up front and power drums out back.

While so many of these 1988 GMC S15 Jimmys once roamed the highway and byways across the country, rain, snow, age, and deterioration have whittled down those in such good shape as this one to a far lower number. If you want a true example of what it meant for a truck to be a truck, then this S15 Jimmy is the vehicle you've been waiting for. Call today!
