The second-generation GMC Jimmy arrived for the 1973 model year, based on the new "Rounded Line" C/K truck platform. These Jimmys were larger and more civilized than the models they replaced. For the first 3 years of production, 1973-1975, the Jimmy featured a fully removable fiberglass roof, a feature that makes these early examples especially desirable to collectors.
After 1975, safety regulations prompted a change to a half-cab design where only the rear section of the roof was removable. Enthusiasts value the Jimmy for its tough, square-body styling, V8 power, and off-road capability. It's often seen as a slightly more upscale alternative to its Chevrolet K5 Blazer stablemate, sometimes featuring unique grilles and more luxurious interior appointments.
The market for these classic SUVs is strong, with an average price hovering around $30,000. Clean, well-optioned examples, especially the 1973-1975 full convertibles, command top dollar. The wide spread in values, from project-car prices to six-figure sales for exceptional restorations, reflects the growing appreciation for these versatile trucks.
Buying Tips
- Check for rust in common square-body areas like rocker panels, cab corners, floor pans, and around the wheel wells.
- The removable tops are known to leak, so inspect all seals and look for water damage inside, particularly on the floors and around the roll bar.
- On 1973-1975 models, confirm the full removable top is present and in good condition; replacements are very hard to find.
- Test the tailgate and its power window mechanism, as the window regulator is a frequent point of failure.
- Engage the 4-wheel drive system to ensure it functions correctly; while the transfer cases are durable, linkages can bind or wear out.
Prices range from $5,000 for project vehicles to over $127,000 for top-tier restorations and resto-mods.
