That is one really nice-looking truck. Well taken care of. Also makes me wish GM had 2-dr. SUVs again, since Ford has the Bronco, and Jeep has the Wrangler.
I love this body style. I worked for many years out of a 1997 Suburban and it was a tough truck and very comfy. I've always wanted a 2 door version of the Tahoe or Yukon. They're hard to find in decent shape. Most have been beat up pretty bad. At least the one's I've found. Finally I found what seems to be a well kept in original condition 1997 GMC Yukon Z71 in Atlanta. It's about 4 hours East. I'm headed out there tomorrow and if everything checks out I'm buying it. I love your truck and I hope to have one soon. Cheers!
Thanks @Barronlatta9648 I actually have mine for sale right now. If you would like to ask me about it, you can email me at dean.sword61@gmail.com. Everything works as it should on this truck. I just had it serviced. As you probably heard, I drove this one home from the Atlanta area and it's ready to hit the highway again. I would also consider helping out the next caretaker of this awesome coupe by delivering it, to help out. The wife and I have decided to get back into camping with a 5er so I have purchased a heavy duty RAM to pull it and just have too many vehicles around here. My wife is understanding, but only to a point! LOL
Nice little OBS! Glad to see you bought something with a bow tie……had to laugh listening to you talk about how smooth and tidy the engine was……Of course it’s a small block Chevrolet!
Jay - Thanks. And you're a funny man. Or maybe you don't know the difference between Tahoe and Blazer. If so, you should recheck the title of this video, you'll see that this is a 1999 TAHOE (truck frame). Then go to Google and search 1999 BLAZER to see the difference. The Blazer was a little SUV on a car frame. My wife had one, great little SUV. If I had a nickel for every time somebody told me that I had a nice looking Blazer, I'd be a rich man. If I didn't care about appearance, I'd install a big windshield banner that says TAHOE in big white letters. I'll then mention to them that it is indeed a TAHOE versus a BLAZER, and they always respond with, well, same thing. WELL ACTUALLY, is my next response. It's like using the word Venti at Starbucks to get a Large. They are not the same, not even close. Thanks for bringing up a good point - "If you know, you know". I recently sold this Tahoe for really good money, to a car guy. The buyer is in the classic car industry and he knew what it was, and the rarity of this truck, in this spec, in this condition. Have a great day!
Nice truck! I've got a black 99' 4x4 barn door w/ 130K. It's crazy how far engines have come in 25 years. I remember my friends having these in high school and never thought for a minute they were under powered, but now going from my daily to this truck, it seems like a such a dog even though it runs perfect. It's a bummer that for the money and work it takes to get these 5.7 to make the power of stock LS you mine as well just put an LS in it. But I hate to pull a 130K perfectly good motor. Kind of a bummer having your "toy" vehicle be slower than your daily, but still love it.
Yeah, my first online auction purchase went sideways for a bit. But I have to say, the owner, Luis was so awesome to work with on this acquisition! He did what he could to smooth things out and was not impressed with the company's handling of things either. He was very accommodating meeting the timing that I needed due to flying down to him and he is a true car guy. Plus I got to hang with my friend Ken in Roswell, GA, another car guy. All worth it too. Coopay is a fantastic rig and the perfect second car for me. Thanks for the comment!
Oh man,mine is rearer ,98 Ls 4x4 2 door 6,5 td with barndoors , 140000 miles on the clock , same interior.......... Had it as a dayly driver for last 15 years,some rust is appearing,but drives like it supposed to , only issues I had to deal with is nomal maintense,like brakes ,oil and tires.
20" Moto Metal wheels. BF Goodrich tires. This truck is for sale if you are interested in buying the wheel\tires... You get the truck included with the purchase! :) Go ahead and make me an offer!!
I hate to be that guy but look it up. It does not get 21 MPG highway even brand new off the showroom floor. I own one inherited from my father that he bought new. Nice truck tho. Thanks for sharing.
@@Bearhater21 I just found the function to create a Post here on UA-cam. I'm no expert so I literally just stumbled on it! I have posted the 5 picture limit of Coopay. Maybe you can post back?
@@The_Sword_Rules Nice truck!! I actually got a good look at your truck in the video. I failed to properly address the original commenter to post pictures of his truck with 8900 miles on it.

It's absolutely beautiful...very well taken care of...Great choice in color and I personally love the back door ....
Thank you! And it's for sale! ua-cam.com/video/makchQLMz3o/v-deo.htmlsi=INqeP8kPw6N6byFo
I got myself a 94 blazer. Absolutely a dream of a vehicle.

good looking ride, I had a very similar z71 sport a few years ago .. regret selling it!
I got the same year color and package, this is exactly what mine should look if it was taken care of like this one.
Nice little OBS! Glad to see you bought something with a bow tie……had to laugh listening to you talk about how smooth and tidy the engine was……Of course it’s a small block Chevrolet!
Haha, of course! Thank you sir!
Subscribe if you want. I don’t really care. Classic. Lol
Don’t really see to many Blazers anymore. Nice 👍

@@The_Sword_Rules You should go to Google and search: what to do went your wife want you to sell your 2 doors OBS. The option is simple.
Very nice
Great colour, look forward to seeing more reviews on it
as well as the BMW m440 👍
Thank you! I'm thinking about getting the BMW out of storage today and installing the new turbo inlet. So maybe some more filming today!

I have a 1999 Tahoe with 8900 miles 2 door
I wish we could post picture comments in UA-cam right? What are the specs on yours? 4x4? Z71? Sport?
Post some pictures I would love to see it. There are some videos of my 99 with 56k miles on it on my channel.

@@Bearhater21 Ah, gotcha! Well, have a great day!
Do you have a lift kit?
It does not. But the 20" wheels and larger tires make it sit higher.
Unfortunately washing the vehicle does not get all salts from the little crevices that cause rust
Should of named it money pit, cuz thats what mines is. Their going for high dollar now. 10-20k easy. K5, broncos now obs 2 doors.
Sorry to hear that. Since you didn't name it Money Pit, what did you name yours?
Not as rare as you think...
1999 Tahoe 2 Door Z71 pkg. I think there are few left, relatively speaking. I'm looking for production and registration data. Do you have that?
@@The_Sword_Rules
Nope..mines a 97 z71pkg original paint...but im putting an ls9 with a lsa supercharger in it...and making it awd.
Facts.. check your rpo codes there’s only “80” on the road today and I have a 99 white named pearl, flawless as well so be proud brother…
Me too (White Lightning) !! Mic'2024 😊!!@@TheBeardedIrishMan
