GMT400 ON ROADKILL?????? HELL YEAH!!!!!

This only caught my eye because they seemed like they never were going to do an episode with one. I did send them an email about a 454 Vortec Suburban with a supercharger here at the junkyard.

GM made a prototype Tahoe SS in 1996 but it never made it to production.

Wait... is this it?

Upon further review- this is it and i feel stupid. But i wonder why gm didnt put like a 110, 120, or 130 cluster in it like the 454ss trucks? They already had them for eskys and ppv vehicles. And those definatly dont look like oem fog light switches. That woulda been sick as a 2 door though.

Edit: Oops, just saw your video link. That sure looks a lot like the one in the Motor Trend clip.

It looks like one sold at Barrett-Jackson, though there's a caveat in the listing that it cannot be registered or driven on public roads and was sold as a salvage title. Their listing description reads just like the classified ad:

https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Eve...HEVROLET-TAHOE-SS-AWD-CUSTOM-4-DOOR-SUV-75101

I kind of remember hearing that GM prototypes are normally destroyed due to something with the VIN being invalid or non-existent, meaning that the vehicle cannot be registered.

Jesus, I guess I was lowballing myself the other day with a price on my truck if I were to sell it.

The Tahoe SS is an interesting one; looks pretty slick too!

An SS Tahoe would be amazing, closest we got was the Limited and Z71.

Only saving these pics for future reference. And I actually like that front bumper, different from the 6.5s
