You are actually dead on with that comment Ron - I should have said "rarely equipped" or something. The 66 Suburban itself is not a rare vehicle at all - there are still quite a few left today from the original production run, but finding one today that is still in-tact as it was from day one equipment and option-wise would be considered a rarity among the surviving suburbans left, and certainly rare to see one with so many options - even when these trucks were new very very very few came with all the options this one has, so that is the basis for me adding the "uber" wording to the title. For all you or I know this may be the only surviving suburban of its kind that actually came from the factory so heavily equipped....can't be many that's for sure
It is a repaint - sort of what I call a "scuff and shoot" job. It will get it repainted this Spring to one of the two-tone choices from the 1966 GMC color chart.
