FS (maybe): 99 MI Patrol Tahoe

I have a 1999 Tahoe, 4x2, x-MI Highway Patrol...

Bought it with 98K, now has 110K, new tires on Wed are coming...

Would sell for around $12K...

Topped it out at 124mph a few months ago..

Has some mods...

Here is a pic, I did 25% all way round, spotlites are removed, too ghetto:

Let me know, I am thinking new Avalanche.

I do love this truck, and I can mess with folks in Chiago too.

Not to burn your @ss or anything, but a buddy of mine just sold an identical truck with 99,000 on it for $10,500. I know they sold cheap at the last auction... he said he made a good profit on it.

I checked with the wife and she wants a 4X4 new style Blazer that has the third row seats. Here I am trying to get off cheap. She is going to have to wait awhile for the Blazer. There over $30,000.00 with the package she wants.

Hey everybody...You could get a crew member to shine that spotlight into the other drivers eyes on the starting line, blinding him and giving your driver a HUGE advantage!!!

Thanks, I did buy some HD load tires. (109)

I like the truck a lot and if somone does bodywork you can mint it out.

But I want a longer wheelbase for cross-country towing.

I am in no hurry and can wait until early spring.

I also have a brand new GMC Yukon grill shell I will throw in.

When you end up buying a different tow beast, get one with as long of a wheelbase as you can stand. The longer the better.

I was suprised to learn that my '02 Silverado extended cab with a 6.5' bed has a wheelbase 8" longer than my '00 Sierra 8' bed had.
SUPRISING! Get sumpin' with a 6.0 litre too!! 2500HD??? How about that new Dodge 5.7 Hemi??? My 5.3 is okay but I think next time, I'll go 2500 6.0!

Good Luck with the sale, buddy!!!

Tahoe has a fuel holes here and there from equipment that are filled... I can touch up the whole truck for a few $$$ or paint the whole truck with the stock paint plus metallic to give it a different effect but the price will full a full repaint is $14K.

I am looking at 2001-2002 Suburbans only but thanks for the tip.
