This 49-Mile 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe Time Capsule Is Being Traded Like an Equity

It’s quite amusing to see a relatively modern Chevrolet Tahoe, a common sight on American roads, being passed between traders across the country. The phenomenon of ultra-rare vehicles changing hands without being driven is a familiar trend in high-end car collecting circles.

Originally priced at $61,270 (equivalent to about $80,500 today), this Tahoe was first sold by a Utah Chevrolet dealership. Subsequently, it spent the following nine years in hibernation before being acquired and transported to New Jersey.

Comments on social media suggest that it changed hands for just under $40,000 at another Chevy dealership last spring, although I couldn’t locate the listing. The intriguing question of “who sold it after holding onto it for so long, and why” remains unanswered.

Following its time in Utah, the 49-mile Tahoe journeyed to New Jersey and was auctioned on Bring a Trailer for $50,500 along with the auction site’s 5% buyer’s fee (totaling $53,025) to a user identified as CBB5795.

Recently, it appeared in the Low Miles No Miles Facebook Group at the Charles Boyd Chevrolet GMC dealership showroom in Henderson, North Carolina. Charles Boyd announced that it will be up for auction again at Barrett-Jackson’s Scottsdale, Arizona auction next month (January 2024).

Boyd has indicated that the truck will be sold without reserve, providing the market with another opportunity to evaluate the worth of what is arguably the most pristine GMT900 Tahoe on Earth. Though Tahoes are commonly seen transporting families and goods, these GMT900 and its GMT800 predecessors are known for their reliability and flexibility, especially if you don’t mind their thirst for fuel.

I’m not looking to rain on anyone’s parade by highlighting the absurdity of this situation. If you’re interested in owning an exemplary version of a common, relatively recent vehicle, go for it. The journey of this truck from Utah to New Jersey to North Carolina and now to Arizona, without adding a single mile on the odometer, is simply comical.

Can you imagine it being driven onto transport trailers? With its odometer at only 49 miles, every inch closer to the next mile could potentially add significant value!

If you happen to be working on a Men In Black sequel set in 2014, this might be the perfect vehicle for your production. I must confess, I’m intrigued to see its final selling price and, inevitably, its next destination.
