CARFAX Report

This 1972 GMC Jimmy 4×4 has sold, but you can explore more restored GMC Jimmys, classic SUVs, and vintage 4×4 trucks now on Fourbie Exchange.

Legendary actor Jimmy Stewart once said, “You have to develop a style that suits you and pursue it.” This freshly restored 1972 GMC Jimmy from Garage Kept Motors in Grand Rapids, Michigan embodies exactly that philosophy—style, strength, and substance in perfect balance.

The result of a two-year, frame-off restoration, this Jimmy has had every surface, seam, and system renewed or upgraded. With a rebuilt 350 cu.-in. V8 under the hood, premium Bilstein suspension, and show-quality paintwork, it’s a period-correct rig taken to a whole new level. Originally listed for $89,900, it’s the kind of truck that makes you forget the word “compromise.”

The GMC Jimmy: A Refined Off-Road Icon

Introduced in 1970 as the upscale sibling of the Chevrolet K5 Blazer, the GMC Jimmy offered the same rugged mechanicals wrapped in more premium trim. GMC’s formula was simple—keep the Blazer’s 4×4 capability, add refinement and exclusivity. The approach worked: while production numbers remained far lower than the Blazer’s, the Jimmy gained a cult following for its rarity and craftsmanship.

Built through 1991 before giving way to the GMC Yukon, early-generation Jimmys like this 1972 model have become highly collectible for their short-wheelbase agility, removable hardtops, and unmistakable classic styling. Fun fact: GM reportedly chose the “Jimmy” name because it echoed how “GM” sounds phonetically, a playful nod to its parent company.

Specs & Condition

Though its odometer shows 70,098 miles, this GMC Jimmy 4×4 presents as new from top to bottom. The all-steel frame and underbody have been fully coated with rust inhibitors, and the red-orange paint, faithful to the original hue, is now applied to far higher standards than when it left the factory. Tasteful modifications like a Bilstein lift kit, 20-inch wheels, and modern tires complete the look.
