1989 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE

Description

This 1989 GMC Sierra 1500 SLE is a very vintage V8 pickup. It's an impressively low-mileage survivor that's loaded with all the best features. And when it's both comfortable and useful, it makes for the right mix of both a cool classic and a handy asset... all for an affordable price.

This was one of the first years for the new style Sierra. It set a new tone in pickups where there could be sleeker without losing any of that professional grade attitude. That's why we like finding one that's such a time capsule. The story we're told is that the first and only owner passed away and it was tucked away in the garage for years rather than initially sold. That's how you get a 30+ year-old pickup with only about 23k miles on the odometer. The low mileage is especially reflected in the condition of the sheet metal, and so it makes for a clean and straight way to showcase the awesome-looking factory paint. This Sierra will really impress you right down to the details. This includes the clean look of the stock wheels and the bold red pinstripe that helps divide the maroon and silver two-tone. As much as a terrific survivor this one is that will be fun to show off, it's also still a true GMC that loves to get to work. The full bed topper, thick rubber bed mat, and proper trailer hitch mean this true classic is also ready to earn its keep.

The interior continues the time capsule style. So you'll love the details, right down to the GM rubber floor mats to the working courtesy lights. An attractive style is especially nice on an SLE trim because it's also loaded. It includes power windows, power locks, cruise control, a tilt steering column, and the classic GM AM/FM stereo with a separate cassette. And we especially like the seats, while the SLE is a premium trim, these high-back bucket seats look like the kind of addition the dealer did back in the day to give you a long-haul comfy Texas truck. It's quite nicely done with coordinating upholstery and a center jump seat that folds down into a cup holder console.

Under the hood is GM's famous 5.7-liter small block, and it comes from the time when the factory was installing fuel injection from day one. It fires up and drives with the confidence of a hardy FI machine. Plus, you have easy driving features like power steering, power brakes, front discs, and new tires. This also has a four-speed automatic transmission with highway-friendly overdrive. So you have a survivor that's also easy to enjoy over trips near or far.

The sale comes complete with the owner's manual packet and nice extras like full mudguards. There are a few details that come with time where you will find the A/C needs seals replaced or the exhaust may need updating. It's the kinds of little things when a truck gets lost in history like a barn find (most of us just see that as part of showcasing its survivor tale.) And overall, it's amazingly impressive how clean and preserved this GMC is. But the most extraordinary part is how this full package is so affordable. Call today!!!
