Photographed vehicle identification
GR Auto Gallery’s archived listing, stock B5286 L and ClassicCars CC-1815563, identifies this vehicle as a 1976 GMC Suburban, TCS266F503636. Photo 17 clearly shows that full VIN on a GM metal identification/rating plate. Independent selected-image review confirms GVWR 7,500 lb, front GAWR 3,800 lb and rear GAWR 5,200 lb.
The plate has tire/loading information but no visible CWR, manufacture date or complete federal conformity declaration. A faint strip above it cannot be identified from this image. These are historical inscriptions, not a finding about present capacity, artifact authenticity or original installation.
Associated SPID readings
Photos 63 and 64 are complementary views of one SPID in the same dealer gallery. Its complete VIN is held because the header is soft; this is a gallery-associated document, not a second independently complete VIN match. The model reads TC20906 and W/BASE reads 129.5.
Selected literal row tokens include 1LF8 with V8 ENGINE – 454 C.I.; 1NK7 with 31 GALLON FUEL TANK; 1M40 with TURBO HYDRA-MATIC TR…; 1YE9 with SIERRA CLASSIC EQUIP…; 1AT5 with FOLDING CENTER SEAT; and 1ZY1 with SOLID PAINT. The paint row 153L reads 53 YUBA GOLD-SO… and the upholstery row 163D begins LSS1 SADDLE CUSTOM C…, with their full endings held. The leading 1 characters are retained as printed tokens without assigning them a meaning.
The 1ZV7 row reads DELETE FREEDOM FEATU…; no special-package interpretation follows from that wording. The 1YG2 wood-grained exterior description is clipped and partly covered. The label does not prove that the current powertrain, finish or upholstery is original, or that the dealer’s Estate name identifies a verified factory package.
Dealer account and review limits
The dealer describes a Sierra Classic Estate Suburban in Yuba Gold with wood accents and brown upholstery, a 454 V8, automatic transmission, power steering, power brakes and air conditioning. These equipment, condition and finish statements remain attributed to the dealer. Its 53,344-mile listing figure does not establish lifetime mileage. USD 33,900 is the archived asking price; the sold/unavailable marker establishes neither a transaction date nor a paid amount. Kentwood, Michigan is the listing location, not verified current custody.
The review screened 96 of 100 exposed stills: positions 1–52 and 57–100. Positions 53–56 timed out and remain unreviewed. No separate buildsheet, invoice or order form was identified in the screened images; this is not a claim about the four missing positions. Photos 98–100 depict work photographs, without independently established dates or a VIN-based connection to the work shown. No video was assessed. This is one dealer/syndication family. Manufacture date, full SPID identity, original equipment, artifact authenticity and later history remain open. No source images or private personal details are reproduced.
