Modified 1995 GMC Sonoma SLE

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Out of a combination of a lifelong automotive passion and an unyielding desire to support the people of his Alabama community, the Generous Collection was born. Mr. Greg Rusk, a successful business leader in the cardboard industry, with a big heart for helping families and friends in times of need, would regularly pay overly generous fees to acquire an interesting vehicle. After decades of collecting and supporting local automotive enthusiasts, the Rusk family is ready for these vehicles, each with their own story, to write their next chapter back on the road, where they belong.

The Generous Collection returns with Part 2 offering over 250 cars in August all offered without reserve, emerging from years of long-term silent storage. From the quiet shadows of the Generous Collection to the sunshine of backroads and highways, enthusiasts now have the opportunity to own a piece of a generous car-collecting legacy.

The 1995 GMC Sonoma SLE combined midsize truck practicality with premium trim-level comfort. Built on a ladder frame, the Sonoma came standard with an efficient four-cylinder engine, paired with a manual or automatic transmission. Its independent front suspension delivered a smooth ride, while the rugged cargo bed provided dependable hauling capability.

Its well-appointed SLE package featured upgraded interior materials, enhanced instrumentation, chrome exterior accents, and available power convenience options. Renowned for reliability, and versatility, the Sonoma SLE remains a desirable classic compact pickup that blends everyday usability with enduring GMC truck heritage.

This two-wheel-drive example is powered by a 2.2L four cylinder backed by a 5-speed manual transmission. It wears body modifications including a ram air-style hood, upgraded front fascia, smoothed rear bumper, and bed cover with a rear wing. It’s been finished in fuchsia with gray upholstery, wears 18” aftermarket wheels, and features a modified interior with unique accents and an upgraded audio system.

This 1995 GMC Sonoma SLE is now represented at no reserve by a Broad Arrow Specialist with a clean Alabama title in the current owner's name.

Please note that all lots in The Generous Collection are offered after many years of storage, without operation or service, in warehouse facilities. The seller endeavored to provide very limited mechanical servicing to bring some cars back to running potential; however, not all cars will be running at the time of sale. Because of the extended static display, it must be assumed that all cars will require extensive additional mechanical attention before being driven safely and, in most cases, cleaning of both the interiors and exteriors. All the cars will have imperfections associated with long-term static storage and require extensive sorting to perform best and safely. The burden of determining a car’s status, both mechanical and cosmetic, rests fully on the bidder, prior to bidding and the close of the auction. All lots are sold as is, where is.

Additionally, due to the location of the collection and limited access to the facility following the close of the auction, all lots must be retrieved while a Broad Arrow representative is onsite, between the hours of 9AM and 6PM local time, beginning Monday, September 14 through Wednesday, September 30. No cars can be retrieved prior to September 14, and any lots remaining after September 30 will be re-located outside in the parking lot for retrieval by their buyers.
