1997 GMC Jimmy STARCRAFT CUSTOM review from North America
"I can actually say that I love this truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Very little has gone wrong with this truck over the 7 years that I have owned it. Some of the body moldings have faded from sun-exposure, but a recent re-paint on a few of the problem areas has corrected this. This vehicle is not garaged, but looks better than many that are. No problems with the engine or transmission.
General comments?
This is no ordinary '97 GMC "JIMMY"! This is a "special" limited-edition (approx 1000) luxury "ENVOY" prototype designed by STARCRAFT under contract with GM. In appearance, the truck looks like a cross between a "TYPHOON" and a custom show-rod designed by Barris or Starbird. It is my daily driver, and looks better today than it did when I first purchased it off of the dealer's lot. The truck performs and looks even nicer with the addition of a BORLA all-stainless "CAT-BACK" exhaust, VIBRANT dual stainless exhaust tip, HYPERTECH "POWER-PROGRAMMER", 160 degree HYPERTECH "POWERSTAT", and K&N air filter. The beautiful cameo white exterior with gold accents, and beige two-tone leather interior really sets this truck apart from everything else on the road.
