For Sale: 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe in Lithia Springs, Georgia

This 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe represents a great modern classic that upholds the final years of the full-size Blazer style. But while many are preparing to be a true classic as they approach the 25-year mark, this one seems to also want to make sure it remains a bolder kind of SUV. So we bet you'll love the mix of distinct upgrades and loaded features...especially when it's all offered for a value price.

There's just something a lot more fun about a two-door big SUV. We love the K5 Blazers because they really put the "Sport" in Sport-Utility Vehicle, and in the last few years they carried the premium Tahoe name. So this one has the most modern style that Chevy has ever put to these SUVs to date. But more than just a standout for its rarity, this one will grab attention for its overall presentation. The front end puts a bright face forward with crystal-clear LED headlights, a mirror-like chrome bumper, and a chain mesh grille. The side view starts to get darker as the tinted windows and 20-inch wheels have a distant black against this Tahoe's red paint. And the lowered stance makes this one look sporty enough to earn the SS350 badges that were added to the rear.

While the exterior shows a wild side, the interior reminds you that Tahoes are a premium Chevy with premium features. The comfortable seating offers plush buckets up front, and the driver's one even power adjusts for the perfect long-haul position. A loaded modern classic like this means you never go wanting for features. It includes power windows, power locks, power mirrors, a cup holder center console, electric rear defogger, dual airbags, the factory AM/FM/cassette stereo, and cold-blowing air conditioning. While it's unknown if the odometer reflects the full actual mileage, as this Chevy prepares to cross the quarter-century mark, the condition of the interior and the working components show an SUV that has been well-respected. The rear seat has adult-size legroom, and there's still plenty of room behind that for everyone's gear. So an SUV like this is both attractive and useful.

Under the hood is Chevy's mighty 5.7-liter V8. This is a fuel-injected model, and that means an SUV that fires up readily and runs well. But because this also has a bit more attitude on the outside, this V8 exhales through a set of upgraded headers that add power and rumble to the dual exhaust. It makes for a more fun drive in town, and it never takes away from the long-haul potential. After all, it's designed to eat the miles with ease thanks to power steering, power brakes, front discs, cruise control, and four-speed automatic transmission w/highway-friendly overdrive.

Complete with owner's manual, this is a rare opportunity at a custom full-size classic two-door SUV. And at a price like this, you might want to hurry if you want to take it home. Call today!!!
