The GMC Sonoma is a badge-engineered version of the Chevy S10 compact pickup truck. Introduced in 1981, it was initially called S-15 by GMC. However, the name Sonoma debuted for the 1991 model year, making this 1991 GMC Sonoma Special the first of its kind. As you might glean from the photos, this isn't quite a regular Sonoma, as it's got some visual and performance upgrades going on. Keep reading to discover what they are, and if this truck strikes your fancy, give us a call or shoot us a message, and we'll tell you how to get your hands on it.
There's nothing quite like a single cab with a truck bed behind it. That's what countless pickup trucks have been offering in America for decades, and it's what this 1991 GMC Sonoma Special offers, too. Decked out in gray paint, this truck's aftermarket alloy wheels are more prominent, especially when wrapped with tires that look more on-road performance-oriented. Then, when you view this truck face-on, its aftermarket hood with massive air intake and twin black stripes become apparent. We also notice that the headlamps have been upgraded on this Illinois-plated truck. The truck's bed has got a tonneau cover for security and weather protection, so you can treat it like a car or SUV in terms of cargo carriage. Meanwhile, there are widebody rear fenders for further visual drama. Yes, this truck is a sort of racing machine, and you're about to discover more. The gray cloth interior includes the original seating, dashboard, and instrument cluster. But you'll note that upgraded Auto Meter Sport Competition gauges have been added, along with a gear shift light. The large tachometer stares at you face-on as you grip a Grant G/T sport steering wheel. Finally, there's an upgraded Kenwood head unit in the center console, offering USB and AUX inputs, as well as good old FM radio capabilities.
The highest engine available for the first-generation Sonoma was a 4.3-liter V6. However, this 1991 GMC Sonoma Special has received something much more potent. Beneath its large air-dammed hood lies a familiar sight: a 350ci V8 with Edelbrock air cleaner and cam covers. Now you know why this truck looks purposeful; it's got the goods to back up its claims. Power goes to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission, as we've told you. How that power goes to the road is entirely up to you - will it be smart, snappy launches, or clouds of tire smoke?

This era of post-war pickups can claim to be host to some of the most beautiful yet utilitarian designs of our time, and the 1950 GMC FC101 is no exception. Following the course set by Chevrolet, GMC’s pickup offering followed a clean design with a rounded bonnet and fenders, a prominent grille, and fender-mounted headlights. It was also a time that saw consumers gravitate towards more car-like features, including improved comfort and visibility. GMC responded by increasing the size of the door apertures, increasing legroom, and adding a larger glasshouse, However, ruggedness and dependability were still the names of the game in the pickup segment, and the GMC FC101 delivered in spades. Our featured car has reportedly been owned by the present keeper for the last six years.
GMC, an all-American light and heavy-duty vehicle manufacturer, has been around since the 1900s in many forms. Its current iteration is as a division of General Motors (GM). GMC's flagship full-size pickup, the GMC Sierra, is widely known for its ruggedness and reliability throughout its lifetime of use. The Sierra was initially a trim level for other trucks in production during the 1960s and 1970s. It wasn't until 1988 that the Sierra became a model on its own, and that has continued to this date. Currently, its fifth generation, which was introduced in 2019, is in full swing and has taken the brand to newer heights. Take a step from the Raptors and Silverados and step into this top-of-the-line 2023 GMC Sierra 2500 HD Denali that has just 4,500 miles on the odometer and a few aftermarket parts that enhance this vehicle's prowess.
The GMC Yukon and its sister SUV, the Chevrolet Tahoe, have been a staple SUV in the North American region. Both SUVs focus on rugged capabilities and luxurious comfort, which are amalgamated into a complete package. The GMC Yukon was introduced in the early 90s, and a fun fact is that it was first introduced as a two-door model. Its name, Yukon, derives from the Canadian territory of Yukon, which itself is rugged and vast. As of 2024, the public has experienced five generations of the venerable SUV, with many calling the first-generation Yukon the best Yukon. Produced from 1992 to 2000, the first-generation Yukon was a star as is with this 1997 GMC Yukon GT 4x4 with a reported mileage of 182,000 miles.
The Land Rover Defender is a legendary piece of machinery; it was built on the battlefield and for many is still the best tool for getting a job done, be it a spot of farming or off-roading in style.

Despite being initially conceived for military use, the original Willys Jeep was clearly destined for a much larger audience. It wasn’t long until a Civilian Jeep (CJ) model was launched, with concepts drawn up even before World War 2 ended. The seventh generation of Jeep, aka the CJ7, is a natural evolution of the original. It retains the battle-proven abilities of its military ancestor but offers a driving experience more suited for the general public. The Laredo trim took that a step higher with more amenities, including improved seats, a tachometer, chrome trim, and special graphics. Our featured car is a Jeep CJ7 Laredo, which has a host of new parts, including a recently rebuilt engine.
