    Your new Jukeboxes will love the Suburban.
    I love Jukeboxes especially the one at our Susie-Q poolhall in the 60's-70's.
    Yes I got a stack of oldie 45s when the owner brought in the latest hits..
    ."Hold on, I'm Comin!" by Sam and Dave is one of em.

      @@MikeFrankovich Mike, tx for the heads up ! You got tons of great videos besides cars. Yes you have thousands of 45's. Do you catalogue them/ sell them?
      I too collect many 78's. My earliest is 1906.
      Back in the 60's, 70's and 80's I went to Chicago searching vintage music. That is when I discovered Delmark Records/ Bob Koester. Wow he had mint unplayed 78's from late 30's and 40's with the rainbow gloss on the grooves. I played them once to record them and now I listen to Big Joe Williams as I cruise around in my 1981 Black Biarritz.
      Doesn't get better.

    I would personally keep it.
    While the 7.4 likes to drink, it is a durable engine and a few modern upgrades, you can squeak better mileage out of it.
    Interior is great, exterior looks amazing. Id keep it.
    With the kind of vehicles we have today, these suburbans stand the test of time being in the condition yours is in. Built well and durable.
    Best of luck with it!! 🙏

    Mike, of course it's your decision what you do with your vehicles. With a bit of work that would be a good daily hauler.

    Hi Mike, congrats on the "new" car! I'm long overdue in commenting how much I enjoy your channel and all the videos. Something I've been hoping to see is a video on the Studebaker. Hope its coming along well, and thanks for the hours of entertainment you provide!

    • @MikeFrankovich
      @MikeFrankovich  5 місяців тому

      I have some video shot on the Studebaker, but it's not on the road yet. I did drive it around the parking lot at my friend Chuck's place. The brakes are still sketchy and there's some wiring to be done. Need to get back out to Palm Springs to work on it.
