Offered by Dover Speed Shop in Stow, MA, this 1971 GMC Jimmy CST 4×4 is now sold! Finished in its original Light Red paint over a black bucket seat interior, this survivor-grade CST (Custom Sport Truck) retains its highly-original condition, making it both collectible and rare. Power comes from a strong-running Chevy 350 V8 paired with its original TH-350 automatic transmission, while factory options like air conditioning, power steering, and power disc brakes add usability. With New Mexico ownership history and a clean title, this Jimmy represents a highly-desirable example of GMC's early SUV era.
- CST trim and production history: GMC launched the Jimmy in 1970 as its counterpart to the Chevrolet Blazer, built on the same short-wheelbase K5 platform. The top-tier CST trim, offered in 1971, added premium touches and comfort, making it a highly sought-after package among collectors today.
- Powertrain: This example is powered by a strong-running 350 cubic-inch V8 mated to its original TH-350 automatic transmission and factory 4×4 transfer case. The combination remains one of the most reliable and proven drivetrains of the era.
- Exterior condition and features: Wearing its original Light Red paint, this Jimmy retains all original sheet metal and a factory removable hardtop in excellent condition. It rides on factory Rally wheels wrapped in upgraded Mickey Thompson Baja MTZ 33x12.50R15 tires for a period-correct stance.
- Interior equipment: The cabin features re-done bucket seats up front, an excellent original rear bench, and a new dash pad. Factory options include A/C, factory tachometer, center console, and original carpet, giving this truck a balance of utility and comfort.
- Ownership and history: Showing 79,000 miles, this Jimmy comes with a clean New Mexico title and presents as a true survivor. All systems, from lights to gauges, are reported to be functional, and the frame and floors remain solid thanks to its desert provenance.
