This is the nearly 300 hp. turbo charged AWD SUV that set the world on its ear in the mid 90's. The truck offered here is a near perfect example, that has had only 2 adult car enthusiast owners since purchased new. In 1993 there were 2,200 Typhoons produced. Of that 2,200, only 101 of them were painted Apple Red with a Grey interior.

"Like the Sonoma-based Syclone pickup truck from 1991, GMC produced a high-performance SUV for a brief time in the early 1990s. Based on the Jimmy, the GMC Typhoon used the same 4.3-liter V-6 engine that was modified by Production Automotive Services and put into service with the Syclone. The motor sported a turbocharger and intercooler which boosted power to 280 hp, though devotees surmise that true output is much higher.

All-wheel drive helped ensure that the engine’s power wasn’t just used to shred tires, upgraded brakes were required to stop the SUV, and an air-operated self-leveling rear suspension helped to take some of the harshness out of the performance tuned suspension.  Quarter-mile times were regularly recorded at 14.1 seconds by the press, and 0-60 times were around 5.3 seconds.

The GMC Typhoon today is unique in that it was the first (and for a very long time only) performance SUV, and it was a legitimate one at that. Fewer than 5,000 were built, which makes it thin on the ground, and difficult to find in well-cared-for condition. And while the Typhoon is slightly slower than the Syclone, it is more luxurious inside, and can seat more than just a friend, making it a good alternative."

This is a true 2 owner vehicle that was purchased in 1996 from the original owner. It has always been stored covered indoors in a climate controlled building. All of the paint, decals and body work are original and in pristine condition. The plastic body panels are straight with no heat warping and excellent gaps.  The Typhoon is well optioned, and everything works... right down the ICE COLD A/C, Power Windows/Locks, and factory AM/FM CD player.  This truck also was ordered without the roof rack which is rare. The interior is a dark grey leather and shows like new as well. 

This is an investment grade collector vehicle.  I think you would be hard pressed to find another Typhoon in this condition. It is 100% original besides standard maintenance items. It really is a time capsule. Pride in ownership shows. The truck runs, drives, and looks like new.   The auction includes the fitted California Car Cover and storage box shown in the cargo compartment.  All paperwork and manuals are also included.


Below are several recent pictures of the truck.  Please allow them all to load... It is worth the wait!

2015 Chevy Colorado to start at $20,100*, GMC Canyon at $20,995**

Tue, 05 Aug 2014

General Motors has just announced pricing for its new midsize pickup trucks, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. Chevy's truck starts at $20,100, *not including $895 for destination, and the GMC starts at $20,995, **not including $925 for destination. These prices are for the base, extended cab models with the 200-horsepower, 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine.
Comparatively, these prices fit nicely with the $18,125 starting MSRP of the Toyota Tacoma and the $21,510 of the Nissan Frontier. Compared to the Colorado, the Canyon's extra $895 gets you niceties like LED running lamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a four-way power driver's seat.
Both trucks come standard with the 2.5-liter engine, and a more powerful, 305-hp 3.6-liter V6 will also be available. Pricing has not been announced for the upcoming diesel model, which is expected to launch for the 2016 model year.

Daily Driver: 2015 GMC Canyon

Mon, May 4 2015

Daily Driver videos are micro-reviews of vehicles in the Autoblog press fleet, featuring impressions from the staffers that drive them every day. Today's Daily Driver features the 2015 GMC Canyon, reviewed by Seyth Miersma. You can watch the video above or read a transcript below. Watch more Autoblog videos at /videos. VIDEO TRANSCRIPT [00:00:00] Hey, guys. This is Seyth with Autoblog, and I'm here in the 2015 GMC Canyon pickup truck. The version I'm in is about as bare bones as this truck gets. We've got a convenience group package, which means I have things like a remote lock and unlock. I've got a spray-in bed liner and then I've got the very tiny but still useful infotainment system, which allows for things like hooking up your phone, [00:00:30] Bluetooth streaming music from my iPhone to the sound system, things of that nature. Really there's not a whole lot here. What you see is what you get. The interior is pretty basic. We've got gray plastic. We've got black plastic. We've got these gray cloth seats which I actually kind of dig. They've got a cool shape. It's comfortable in terms of the interior but it's certainly not fancy at all. You go back and look into the segment and you look at offerings from Nissan and Toyota and you'll see that this really feels pretty [00:01:00] plush certainly compared to their base level trucks. We've got the 2.5-liter 4-cylinder in it. Still makes 200 horsepower and 191 pound feet of torque. It doesn't feel completely slow but I'll admit that some of that has to do with the fact that I have a six-speed to play around with. I'm revving it up a little bit higher than you normally would with a pickup truck. It's not fast. It doesn't mean that it's not a little bit fun to drive. [00:01:30] We've come so far in terms of overall ride quality, noise vibration and harshness and things of that nature in all pickup trucks that it's frankly surprising to see something at the very bottom end in terms of price of the market be as good as this is. I think that you're going to get a lot of people who are into the truck lifestyle who like the look. You're going to get a lot of people who are moving down from bigger trucks that still want to have a little bit of capability. Then with things with a truck of this nature where you're talking about a [00:02:00] sub-$25,000 price point, you're just going to get a lot of people who want a vehicle of any kind, kind of a budget vehicle.

GM expected to debut two new crossovers at Detroit Auto Show

Thu, Dec 15 2016

Next month, General Motors is expected to debut two new crossovers at the North American International Auto Show. That's according to Automotive News and The Wall Street Journal, which reports that the successors to the aging Chevrolet Traverse and GMC Terrain will finally make their debut. The two crossovers have been on sale since 2009 and 2010 respectively and are due for updates as the competition has newer models on the market. Both crossovers play in growing market segments where sales success is crucial for the respective brands. GM, and the automotive industry as a whole, has been shifting its focus towards crossovers in the last few years. The Traverse and the Terrain are some of the oldest SUVs on the market and are in dire need of an update. GMC's Acadia, the former corporate clone to the Traverse (and Buick Acadia), switched to a new platform in 2016. And the Terrain's platform-mate, the Chevrolet Equinox, was revealed a few months ago. Both the new Chevy and GMC models are expected to go on sale late in 2017 as 2018 models. Look for a follow up to the Traverse's sister, the Buick Enclave, to make an appearance soon.
