This 1995 Chevrolet Suburban 2500 represents a unique piece of automotive history, having been meticulously enhanced by the renowned Lingenfelter Performance Engineering (LPE) back in 1995. Starting with a robust V8 engine, Lingenfelter’s expert team undertook a complete overhaul, increasing the displacement to a massive 605 cubic inches and incorporating high-performance internal components alongside a custom cold-air intake system. This Lingenfelter Suburban is not just a classic SUV; it’s a testament to bespoke automotive engineering.
Beyond the engine bay, Lingenfelter’s modifications extended to a bespoke exhaust system, a striking powder-coated intake manifold and valve covers, and a precision-engineered billet aluminum throttle body. The exterior of this Lingenfelter Suburban is finished in a clean white, accented by a red side stripe, and boasts practical features like a roof rack and receiver hitch. Chrome rocker panel trim, a roof spoiler, and added black fender flares contribute to its distinctive appearance. While some minor paint imperfections are noted, including chips on the hood and corrosion on the leading edge, the overall presentation remains impressive for a vehicle of this age.
Rolling on 16″ American Racing aluminum wheels, this Lingenfelter Suburban features red insets and is fitted with 245/75 Goodyear Wrangler tires, reportedly mounted in 2018. A spare set of wheels is also included in the sale, adding to the vehicle’s value and appeal for collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The interior of this Lingenfelter Suburban is trimmed in tan leather, extending across the seating surfaces, dashboard, and carpets, creating a warm and inviting cabin. Comfort and convenience features include power lumbar adjustment for the front seats, swing-down armrests, a center console with a writing tray, air conditioning, cruise control, and power accessories. An integrated AM/FM cassette stereo provides period-correct entertainment.
The driver is presented with clear instrumentation, including a 100-mph speedometer, tachometer, and auxiliary gauges. The odometer indicates 81k miles, with approximately 8k miles added by the current seller. It is worth noting a mileage inconsistency reported on the Carfax report in November 2020.
Under the hood lies the heart of this Lingenfelter Suburban: a replacement 454ci V8 engine, expertly stroked to 605ci by Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. Visually striking with its red Lingenfelter-branded intake manifold and powder-coated valve covers, the engine also features a custom cold-air intake. Recent servicing includes the installation of 42-lb Racetronix fuel injectors and replacement of the fuel filter and fuel pump in 2019, followed by new MAP and oxygen sensors, spark plugs and wires, coil, cap, and rotor in 2021. A Moates GP1 GM adaptor enhances the engine computer, allowing for customized tuning and data logging.
Power from this formidable engine is delivered to either the rear or all four wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission and a dual-range transfer case. Lingenfelter’s 1995 modifications included transmission tuning and an upgraded torque converter. The transmission, torque converter, and transmission control module were further overhauled in 2005. A spare differential is included in the sale. This 1995 Chevrolet Suburban Lingenfelter edition is offered with comprehensive documentation, including LPE records and literature, service records, and a clean Carfax report, making it a compelling opportunity for discerning collectors and enthusiasts of high-performance SUVs.
