This 1977 GMC Jimmy 4x4 is a freshly refurbished full-size classic offered out of Palm Desert, California, and presented with a clean California title. Refinished in Burgundy with a white vinyl top and ZY5-style hood stripes, this Jimmy pairs vintage square-body muscle with real off-road hardware, powered by a rebuilt 400ci V8, a three-speed automatic transmission, and a dual-range transfer case. Riding on a 2.5-inch lift, 33-inch BFGoodrich KO2s, and US Mags wheels, this truck blends show-quality presentation with usable trail presence, while upgrades like air conditioning, power windows, LED lighting, and a refreshed driveline make it a legitimate turn-key classic 4x4.
  • Square-Body Icon: The 1973–1991 GMC full-size SUV platform established the blueprint for the modern American off-road truck, and the first-generation Jimmy remains one of the cleanest expressions of that era. More luxurious and refined than its Blazer counterpart, the Jimmy offered V8 power, removable top capability, and real four-wheel drive from the factory.
  • Big-Block Torque, Factory Feel: This Jimmy is powered by Chevrolet’s 400ci small-block V8, originally rated at 175 horsepower and 290 lb-ft of torque and known for its strong low-end pull. The drivetrain retains a three-speed automatic, dual-range transfer case, and Warn locking front hubs, delivering true old-school 4x4 capability with classic V8 character.
  • Classic Looks, Modern Touches: The truck wears a Burgundy repaint with a white vinyl-wrapped hood, roof, removable hardtop, side panels, and tailgate, accented by ZY5-style striping and High Sierra badging. Upgrades include LED headlights, brushed aluminum tailgate panel, electric rear window, Flowmaster exhaust, and a set of gold accent trim reportedly valued at over $2,500.
  • Restored Cabin with Comfort Features: Inside, the red interior was refreshed with burgundy vinyl bucket seats and rear bench, square-weave carpets, and factory-style trim. Power windows and locks, working air conditioning, and a cassette stereo give this Jimmy genuine street comfort without losing its vintage character.
  • Documented Refurbishment and Clean Title: The truck was refurbished prior to current ownership, including drivetrain, suspension, and system updates, and has reportedly added only about 200 miles since. It is offered with a clean California title, refreshed mechanical systems, and a fully detailed undercarriage.
Early full-size 4x4s are surging in demand, and clean, refurbished Jimmys sit at the top of that market. This one stands out by combining a strong cosmetic restoration with meaningful mechanical work, not just a quick respray. The rebuilt 400 V8, refreshed cooling and fuel systems, upgraded suspension, and refinished undercarriage make this a truck you can actually use. Whether you’re after a vintage desert cruiser, a Cars & Coffee standout, or a classic overland-style build foundation, this Jimmy offers authentic presence, V8 torque, and real collectibility.
