***Vehicle Located in MA*** Zoom Classic Cars presents this 1 owner
since new 1997 GMC Yukon 1500 SLE. As American buyers began
shifting away from traditional station wagons during the 1990s,
General Motors introduced a new generation of full-size sport
utility vehicles that helped define the modern family SUV. Among
the most desirable of these today is the 2-door GMC Yukon, a model
that perfectly blended truck-like capability, V8 power, and
everyday practicality long before SUVs became the dominant vehicle
on American roads. Offered here is a highly original, one-owner
1997 GMC Yukon SLE 1500 2-Door 4WD equipped with the desirable 1SB
Preferred Equipment Package and powered by the legendary 5.7-liter
Vortec V8 engine producing 225 horsepower. Automatic Transmission
with Overdrive. Purchased new by the current owner and driven just
over 172,000 miles, this Yukon has been meticulously cared for,
always garage kept, properly maintained, and remains a remarkably
honest survivor. The two-door Yukon was produced in significantly
lower numbers than its four-door counterpart, making surviving
examples increasingly sought after by collectors and GMC
enthusiasts. Two-door Yukon production represented only a small
fraction of overall Yukon output during the mid-to-late 1990s.
Their distinctive proportions, removable rear cargo area
practicality, and increasingly rare status have made them among the
most collectible GMT400 SUVs on the market today. Finished in its
original Emerald Green Metallic paint, this Yukon continues to
present exceptionally well. The paint remains original throughout
with the exception of the aftermarket Cervini's hood, which was
professionally painted to match. The body is straight, rust-free,
and retains excellent panel fitment throughout. As shown in the
photographs, there are a few minor cosmetic imperfections including
a blemish beneath the 5.7L hood emblem and some weathering on
exterior plastic trim pieces consistent with age. Overall, the
truck remains an outstanding example of a well-preserved original
vehicle. The exterior is further enhanced by several tasteful
additions including:* Cervini's performance-style hood with scoops*
Full chrome front brush guard* Desert Fox Baja auxiliary driving
lights* Lund roof luggage carrier* Chrome wheels* Deep-tinted
windows* Side running boards* Tow hitch* Clear-covered taillights*
Auxiliary rear-mounted lightingInside, the tan cloth interior
remains in excellent condition and reflects decades of careful
ownership. The bucket seats, center console, rear folding bench
seat, carpeting, door panels, dashboard, and headliner have all
been exceptionally maintained. There are no rips, tears, or
significant wear issues. Faux woodgrain accents on the dashboard
and door panels provide an upscale appearance that was
characteristic of GMC's premium SUV offerings during the era.Power
comes from the dependable 5.7L Vortec V8 paired with the
aforementioned automatic transmission with OD. The engine starts
easily, runs smoothly, and delivers the strong low-end torque that
made these trucks so popular. A dual exhaust system with chrome
tips provides an aggressive yet tasteful sound. According to the
owner, the vehicle has been consistently serviced throughout its
life and everything functions as intended. Factory equipment and
options include:* 5.7L Vortec V8 engine (225 HP)* Automatic
transmission with overdrive* SLE 1500 Trim Package* Optional 1SB
Equipment Group* Power steering* Power front disc/rear drum
anti-lock brakes* Power driver's seat* Power windows* Power door
locks* Air conditioning* Cruise control* Tilt steering wheel* Full
instrumentation package with tachometer and clock* AM/FM stereo
with cassette player* Driver and passenger airbags* Independent
front suspension* Front stabilizer bar* Heavy-duty shock absorbers*
30-gallon fuel tank* Full-size spare tire with carpeted coverThe
undercarriage remains clean, solid, and structurally sound with
only typical light surface rust visible in areas as shown in the
photographs. This Yukon runs, drives, and handles very well,
offering the solid road manners and durability for which the GMT400
platform has become famous. It has successfully passed
Massachusetts inspection for 2026 and is ready to be enjoyed
immediately. Included with the sale are the original owner's
manual, car cover, supporting documentation, and a clean
Massachusetts title in the owner's name.Finding a one-owner,
rust-free, original-paint 2-door Yukon has become increasingly
difficult. Combining desirable styling, Vortec V8 power,
documentation, and nearly three decades of careful ownership, this
GMC represents an great opportunity to acquire one of the most
iconic and increasingly collectible SUVs of the 1990s. The
1995-1999 two-door Yukon models have developed a strong following
among GMT400 enthusiasts because they offer the proportions of the
later performance SUVs while retaining the rugged simplicity of the
original platform. Clean, unmodified, one-owner examples like this
are becoming increasingly scarce, particularly in the Northeast
where rust-free survivors are difficult to find. Please call Jeff
if you have any questions or want to schedule a viewing of this
well maintained Yukon. Thanks for Looking.
