Vehicle Description
1995 Chevrolet Tahoe 2-door 4x4
Did you happen to catch the 1989 K5 Blazer with 21 miles that sold
at Barrett Jackson for $154,000 recently? While this illustrates an
extreme case of battling bidders, it does bring into the light the
current collectability and market desirability of full sized, two
door, 4x4 SUV's from the 80's and 90's. They have been scorching
the market with buyers scrambling to find the perfect truck.
Because these trucks were used in more utilitarian applications
when new, not many survived to be collectible candidates today.
For consignment, a 1 owner, low mileage 1995 Chevy Tahoe that is
stock and clean and ready for a new home. The truck has a title
verified 31,224 actual miles! My karate instructor would say "He
who hesitates, mediates.". Well, don't hesitate too long with this
one or you'll be lost in a trance wondering what happened to that
great truck that got away. We're proud to have this one in our
Hallowed Halls and look forward to meeting the next owner.
Exterior
Just as the color palette of today will be unique in 30 years, the
90's had a set of interesting and commonly used colors and Teal
Blue was one of them. It looks great on this truck and is enhanced
by the Quicksilver detail on the lower � of the truck, bisected by
black body molding that serves as a ding preventer at the level
where normal car doors would open. Accent colors include the chrome
of the bumper and grille and black which is found on the mirrors,
roof rack, chin spoiler, door handles, and window trim. The
composite headlights premiered in 1990 and were stacked above the
indicator lights, a look that has an enthusiastic fanbase. The
16-inch wheels are wrapped in 75-series tires and that helps with
the height which will get you over small boulders, sagebrush, and
the parking lot curbs at Trader Joes. The paint looks great, the
panels near perfect, and the gaps are well spaced. Imperfections
include some delamination near the edge of the windshield, and some
minor rust on the underside of the rocker panels. There are also a
few spots of hazing on the wheels clear coat, an incredibly common
occurrence in GM wheels of the era.
Interior
Gray molded plastic with various panels and controls make up the
hefty door panels which also include speakers, safety lights, and a
storage bin. The front bucket seats are made of bulbous leather
padding that could easily pass for a La-Z-Boy recliner. The driver
has a near limitless selection of electric adjusters to create a
bespoke perch from which to navigate the big rig. The back bench is
also well padded and includes two adjustable headrests and lots of
legroom. From the steering wheel forward, it's pretty standard GM
with simple, black faced gauges displaying the important stuff in
analog goodness. The gear selector is on the column but the range
selector is on the floor in the center. The center dash stack
contains the factory AM/FM/Cassette radio and simple heater/AC
controls. Yes, it's time to dig out those Eddie Money and Bryan
Adams cassettes from the basement, this is the moment you've been
saving them for! Prior to airbag regulations for passengers, they
get molded cup holders, a storage bin, vents, and a glove box on
their side. The low pile gray carpet is in fine condition,
discolored a bit in the driver's footwell, and otherwise protected
by fitted and flat rubber mats. The headliner and overhead console
are in great shape and the way back is carpeted and clean. In fact,
the entire interior is near showroom immaculate. No complaints
here.
Drivetrain
The engine bay is very clean and houses the 5.7 liter 350ci V8
fueled by electronic throttle body fuel injection backed by a 700R4
4-speed automatic transmission. Power is transferred to the rear
wheels with 3.42 gears and when needed, split to the front with the
same ratio. Power disc brakes are found in the front with power
drum brakes in the rear.
Undercarriage
We don't know if the next owner will take this off road, but they'd
likely be the first to do so. I don't think we're overstating it by
saying the underside is essentially showroom condition. Just super,
super clean and dry. It's here we find independent torsion bar
suspension up front and leaf springs in the rear. The single
exhaust meets a catalytic converter, then the original muffler,
then finds its way out under the right rear fender.
Drive-Ability
We melted into the front buckets and headed out onto the test loop.
The big V8 has plenty of power to move this big truck and the view
is commanding. This truck is barely broken in and indeed, it feels
like 1995 all over again. The ride is smooth as both the suspension
and the 265/75R16's soften any imperfections in the road. The only
thing we found inoperable was the passenger side mirror does not
have left and right movements. For a 30 year old truck, that's not
bad at all!
Here's a wonderful opportunity to get into a low mileage 2 door
Tahoe which are becoming scarcer each year. This one's been well
maintained and is as close to new condition as you'll find. Your
wax on, wax off days are over, it's time to earn your black belt in
classic car acquisition. And it starts with the teal Tahoe of your
dreams!
