I have here a very nice GMC Typhoon from 1992. This is a dream car for me and I got it because I had the time and money for a project car. Due to life, I am short on time now. I hate to see it go, but a truck like this needs an owner that can give it the time it needs. Maybe down the road I'll get another one, but that's my problem for later. So my sacrifice is your gain.

So lets do the good vs bad. Since you probably already know what this thing is, you'll probably want to know the worst and why am I only letting it go for so little. Dont worry, its not that bad. Just a lot of cosmetic stuff which I don't have the room or time to tackle.

<-------- BAD -------->

Rust. There's a good bit of underbody rust on this thing. I think one of the previous owners parked it on tall grass and left it for a while.
Drivers fender needs to be replaced. Of all the rust, the drivers side front fender is the worst. I've removed the cladding due to it. I didn't want the cladding to fall off while going down the road. I'll make sure the cladding is in the truck when its sold.
There's some other rust spots that will need more than just a cover up at some point.
Rear passenger side cladding has a chip in it
passenger side cladding under the door will probably need to be replaced or taken to a shop to have it fixed. got a hole in it.
AC has a small leak in the hose, everything else works fine.
Air compressor for the rear suspension is currently not working. Seems to be an electrical issue, haven't tracked it down yet. But everything is there.
Oil gauge on the dash has spun around and is now stuck. Installed an aux oil pressure gauge in the a-pillar.
It has keyless entry, and I have the box, but atm it doesn't seem to work. I think the remote just needs batteries.
There's a vacuum leak somewhere. I've replaced several of the lines but haven't gotten to all of them yet. Its not that bad because the cruise control still works. the vent controls work. etc. But there is a leak according to my vacuum gauge. :P

<-------- GOOD -------->

Pulls damn hard. will chirp all 4 tires off the line. Will give you tunnel vision if its grips just right
Runs like a champ. Will hold any speed and at the drop of a dime can take off.
Tires in excellent shape. Rears only have a few thousand miles on them.
Spare has never been on the ground.
Has all original wheels. No chips. No scratches. Still shines.
Front and rear limited slips are in excellent shape (this thing will not let go of the road)
New shocks all around
New brakes
Upgraded some of the vacuum lines to steal braided.
No oil leaks. No leaks at all.
installed a transmission aux cooler coupled to the existing cooler with all new high flow braided lines. Thanks to RPM for that.
Shifts firm and will hold.
All of the cladding is there.
AC works if the leak is fixed. I replaced the compressor with a new one and recharged it with r134. It worked for about 2 weeks. Seems there is a small leak where the hose and the condenser meet. Might just need an O ring.
Cruise control works perfectly.
All the lights work.
Fog lights are bright as hell
Upgraded halogen head lights. (still sealed headlights, just got those super bright ones)
Vent controls work (aka that switch set that controls where the air goes which was a $350 part)
a pillar pod cluster with oil pressure, boost gauge, and AFR gauge.
new fuel pump
Interior looks brand new. All of the leather shines in the sun.
Center console hinge still works (anyone that knows these things knows this alone is more rare than the truck itself)
Upgraded JVC radio. Its a DVD unit that does everything. MP3 DVD's, movies, FM/AM radio, and I've installed an AUX cable. Its also SAT ready, just needs the antenna which can easily be found. And I've got the remote control for the unit as well.
Paints in good shape except for the few rust spots mentioned above.

I've also got a Typhoon CD that has all the manuals, books, etc on it that'll go with the truck.

I also have a data link cable for hooking it up to a computer that I'll throw in for an extra $25.

This is a project truck, I'm selling it as it and with the buyer understanding that it a project truck. When I got it barely anything worked and it died on me 3 times before I got it home. I've put some time into this thing and thought I'd be keeping it forever. But plans change. I've gotten almost all the small stuff fixed that was working and a few major issues, and was starting to work on the body when other things in my life got in the way. It still needs some TLC. The biggest issue with this truck is the body. It needs a few panels replaced and you might as well get the whole thing repainted again so it all matches up.

Oh and the phone mount in the pictures of the dash will not go with the vehicle. I'm keeping that. It's just a suction mount, don't worry it didn't leave any marks.

I'll help however I can with shipping. As in I can drive it to meet a tow truck or if you are close by we can work out me getting it to you. But you pay shipping/gas. Or come get it and drive it home. I'll pick you up at the air port/train station/bus station.

If you want any additional pictures or have any questions feel free to ask and I'll get back to you. If I think of anything else I'll add it in as well.

GMC Canyon's jump seats innovate to keep kids safe [w/video]

Sat, 03 May 2014

We dig simple solutions to problems. There's something highly gratifying about making a minute change to fix something, rather than tearing up the playbook. That's what GMC has done with the new Canyon midsize pickup.
When putting a car seat in, car seat manufacturers require that at least 80 percent of the seat's base fit on the bottom cushion. That's a big problem in extended-cab pickups like the Canyon, which feature jump seats with shorter bottom cushions, in place of the larger, more traditionally designed bench.
The Canyon gets around this with extendable jump seats - simply pop out the headrest and slot it into the bottom seat cushion, and the truck can now easily accommodate a child's seat.

Weekly Recap: Volvo buys Polestar, makes performance a priority

Sat, Jul 18 2015

Volvo is taking its performance business in-house, and the Swedish carmaker announced Tuesday that it bought tuning company Polestar, which has long been known for producing sporty Volvos. The move allows Volvo to ramp up its performance business, and it plans to increase Polestar-branded vehicle sales to 1,000 to 1,500 annually, up from the 750 total projected for this year. The companies have been working together on motorsports projects since 1996. Financial terms of the sale were not released, and Polestar workers will move over to Volvo. Former Polestar owner Christian Dahl will keep control of the Polestar racing team and operate it under a new name. In addition to sales volume, Volvo has ambitious plans for other parts of Polestar, including its aftermarket business. Volvo also said it will use its twin-engine hybrid technology for Polestar models in the future, though specifics and timing were not revealed. Meanwhile, Volvo announced it will offer a run of 265 total Polestars in the United States for the 2016 model year, with S60 and V60s available. "Driving a Volvo Polestar is a special experience. We have decided to bring this experience to more Volvo drivers, placing the full resources of Volvo behind the development of Polestar as the model name for our high performance cars," Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said in a statement. OTHER NEWS & NOTES 2016 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra, get nose jobs Automakers tend to refer to light updates as 'facelifts,' and that's exactly what Chevy gave the 2016 Silverado and GMC Sierra. Chevy slightly changed the front end of the truck. Using the one photo released of the new Z71 model as a guide, we can see that the headlights went from a stacked vertical design to single bulbs, and they are set on top of LED running lights. The grille has more body-colored elements instead of shiny metal, and the hood has a new line running down the middle (look really closely). The design theme will be similar across the portfolio, though materials and details will vary, a spokesman said. Some models, like the High Country and LTZ will have more chrome, and the LEDs are only for the upper trims. Chevy also said it will use the eight-speed automatic transmission on more versions of the Silverado, and it updated the MyLink feature to support Android Auto and Apple CarPlay.
