The Chevrolet Tahoe is the Bowtie brand’s full-size SUV offering. Since 1992, the Tahoe has represented a go-anywhere sport utility vehicle that could carry the average American family across the country in comfort, dog and all. With excellent off-road credentials, the Tahoe could take the path less travelled, too. Now we’re on the fifth generation, but there are some fantastic older ones available too. Take this first-generation 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT as a prime example. Extensively modified, this off-road ready beast has a significant 265,000 miles on the clock but don’t let that put you off. It’s been well looked after, and in your care, can easily double or even triple that mileage without major woes.
Have you seen a two-door Tahoe? Well, that’s what the marque started off with. Case in point, this 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT in its menacing black paintwork, and rolling on aftermarket black 20-inch wheels. These wheels wear Toyo M/T tires of 35x12.5x20 dimensions, making this quite a serious off-roader. Then, the vehicle sits higher than stock thanks to a 6-inch RCD lift kit. There’s also a black front bumper, as well as a rear roll pan that’s been molded in and painted to match. A black billet grille and black nerf bars are present too. The front wears custom LED headlamps, while the rear gets LED taillights as well as a dual exhaust system with 4-inch black tips. Finally, the whole thing wears tinted glass for privacy and sun protection. The interior of this 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT includes leather seats, gray carpeting and a new headliner. You get an aftermarket CD/DVD capable head unit with a backup camera, as well as two 10-inch subs in the trunk, mounted within a custom enclosure. This 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT also appears to have air conditioning so you can happily drive in the hot summer sun with a smile on your face.
This 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe LT comes with a 5.7L V8 beneath the hood, sending power to the wheels via a 4-speed automatic gearbox. It’s got push-button actuated four-wheel drive with low range as well. Then, there’s new front suspension, a new starter motor, a new battery and a new alternator. Delving further into the item list, we discover a K&N intake as well, to help that V8 breathe better and make more power. So, to wrap it all up, this truck is ready to rock and roll.

The 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe is known to be built on a true truck chassis derived from the iconic Chevy C/K 1500 pickup. Once known as the Chevrolet K5 Blazer, it was rebranded to the all-new Chevrolet Tahoe in 1995. This particular model we have today is a reportedly rare model that became one of the last ever two-door Tahoes in 1999. Also known as the GMC Yukon, Chevrolet Grand Blazer, and Chevrolet Silverado in their respective territories, the Chevrolet Tahoe even became Motor Trend magazine’s Truck of the Year for 1996. The standard Vortec 5700 engines in the Tahoes were revised with increased power and fuel efficiency and put to use in the same year with the automatic transmission also being revised the later year. Now in its fifth generation, this first-generation Chevrolet Tahoe, just shy of 83,000 miles on the odometer, can be kept as collectible for its rarity as it reaches its classic status or even still comfortably be used as a daily. In fact, this truck may even outlive most things on the road, given that you take good care of it.
The world of SUVs is ever-growing, and manufacturers continue to segment the growing market and cater to customers with luxury, tech, and class. While cruising around in a modern-day SUV equates to comfort like never before, it's arguable that being behind the wheel of one equates to a drive feel that's suited for the masses and one that's lost on what makes an SUV unique. The 1997 Chevrolet Tahoe Custom Kraft Conversion we have today perfectly blends the old-school rough and tough SUV with new-age luxury cruising; what's better? This mint example has a reported 37,000 miles on the clock and reportedly has just one previous owner.
The Chevrolet Impala has played the role of the Bowtie’s flagship full-size car for years. Produced over ten generations, the Impala was first introduced in 1957. Named after the eponymous African antelope, the first generation was strictly a two-door affair. Buyers could choose a coupe or convertible. If you’d like to own a classic Impala but with a bit more pep up and go, this 1958 Chevrolet Impala is a worthy contender. The car comes with an upgraded engine, but remains otherwise stock as far as possible. That makes it a lovely classic car to own and drive, but something to surprise other classics with when the mood strikes.
One of the most popular classic cars is the Chevy Bel Air. Introduced in 1950 and named after the stylish Bel Air neighborhood of Los Angeles, the Bel Air was Chevy’s full-size offering until 1981. Today, the Bel Air has proved itself to be a worthy classic, as well as an excellent restomod platform. Take this 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Coupe Restomod as a prime example. The car has undergone a full restoration, which was concluded in December 2020. Moreover, it’s got a more potent engine with just 4,000 miles on it, plus some interior and exterior niceties.
Chevy’s Camaro and its stablemate, the Pontiac Firebird were introduced in 1967 as GM’s pony car duo. Not content to let Ford have all the fun, the General was firing on all cylinders. The Camaro and Firebird were colossal successes, and a mere three years later, the second generation debuted for eager American petrolheads to enjoy. This generation would run until 1981 and was a totally new design. If you’re a fan of the second-generation Camaro, check out this 1981 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta, which is up for grabs. The current owner says that they purchased this car new, and it’s an all-original one. Having a healthy 236,000 miles on the odometer, the car is ready for a new owner and fresh adventures.
The Land Rover Defender has gained a name for itself all over the world as a supremely capable off-roader. With a glorious history dating back to 1948’s Land Rover Series 1, the classic Defender maintains much of its ancestor’s styling cues. However, it’s vastly different under the skin. The Defender name came about in 1991 with two variants. The 90 variant was a short wheelbase two-door affair, while the 110 sported four doors and a longer wheelbase. The numbers do refer to the wheelbase size in inches. So, this 1997 Land Rover Defender 90 has a 90-inch (approximate) wheelbase and is a two-door machine. The current owner tells us it’s received regular servicing and maintenance and a more powerful engine.

It is apparent that an obvious recent trend in the car industry is the love for SUVs. People who have them, love them. People who don’t, want them. But perhaps SUVs of late are more suited to mall parking lots than a rough trail leading to a good fishing spot. Go back a few decades and you’ll find out what SUVs were really about. This 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ60 with just 93,000 miles on the odometer is not the vehicle you choose if you want to drive over the curbs at your local mall. This thing can take you to places other cars shiver at the mere thought of.
