1997 GMC Yukon SLE 1500 2-Door 4WD – One-Owner, Rust-Free Emerald Green Survivor with Vortec V8 Power

This is a highly original, one-owner 1997 GMC Yukon SLE 1500 2-Door 4WD, purchased new by its current owner and cared for with real dedication ever since. As American buyers moved away from traditional station wagons in the 1990s, GM introduced a new generation of full-size SUVs that helped define the modern family vehicle. The two-door Yukon was built in far smaller numbers than its four-door counterpart, and clean, original survivors like this one have become increasingly sought after by collectors and GMT400 enthusiasts. Finished in its original Emerald Green Metallic paint, always garage-kept, and showing just over 172,000 well-documented miles, this Yukon remains a remarkably honest example that’s ready to enjoy right away.
