This 1992 GMC Typhoon is in terrific condition. It's quick, tons of fun and very unique.

90% of it was repainted last yet, so the exterior is amazing (9.5/10). The interior is also in very good condition (9/10).

This Typhoon is very well maintained. Tune up/all fluids/bushings/etc all complete within last year. Current on all maintenance (two exceptions below).

Pictures are with Corvette wheels. I also have the stock wheels available, but like the look of the Corvette wheels better.

This Typhoon is all stock except I fixed all of the reliability problems Typhoons are known for:
- Aftermarket HD front propshaft (driveshaft) (stock one can break, damaging many other items when it goes).
- Upgraded brakes.
- HD motor mounts and torque strap (stock Typhoon have so much torque, the motor mounts frequently break).
- ABS delete (stock unit is known to fail, causing brake failure).
- Aftermarket tune (stock tune can over-boost and cause spark knock, causing cracked pistons).
- Carbon-fiber intake tube (stock one is known to crack and send plastic through the turbo).

The negatives:
- There is a small cut in the driver's seat (see picture).
- A few touch up paint spots on driver's front fender (see picture).
- Motor needs valve seals ($400). I haven't had time to do it. No risk to motor, just a small puff of smoke at start-up.
- A/C holds coolant for only a few weeks. I haven't done any troubleshooting on this yet.
- Carbon fiber intake needs refinished (see picture).

Overall this Typhoon is amazing and ready to drive every day without hassle. It'll bring a smile to your face at every stoplight!

Google Earth helps sheriff's department find stolen car [w/video]

Sun, 29 Sep 2013

A stolen-vehicle case opened back in March was recently solved with the help of a property owner using Google Earth, a virtual globe and mapping service similar to Google Maps, ABC News reports. The man, who remains anonymous, found the stolen GMC Yukon while he was surveying his property in George County, Mississippi, using the map service and, judging by the top-down satellite image, thought he found a "shooting house" on his hunting grounds.
When he drove out to the suspicious structure, he realized it actually was a sport utility vehicle wedged in thick brush about 70 yards from the nearest road, so he called the police.
Law enforcement officers had arrested a female suspect in the case earlier based on eyewitness accounts, but didn't prosecute her because the stolen SUV hadn't been found. Ben Brown, a lieutenant detective with the George County Sheriff's Department, says that he ran the plates and confirmed the SUV was the stolen vehicle the department had been looking for.

eBay Find of the Day: 1976 GMC Motorhome is a jolly green giant

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

If you have a need to relive the 1970s, then here is the vehicle for you. This groovy blast from the past is a 1976 GMC Motorhome currently for auction in Florida on eBay Motors, and it is one green machine - just not in the modern sense.
The seller claims that this beast has had just two owners and has covered a mere 61,308 miles in its decades on the road. It's reportedly never been restored or repainted and comes with all of the necessary books and manuals. A 7.5-liter (455-cubic-inch) Oldsmobile V8 with a three-speed Turbo-Hydramatic automatic transmission powering the front wheels propels this far-out RV, and the double set of rear wheels out back use a self-leveling air suspension to provide a cushy ride.
The purported low miles and good condition really make this GMC a stand out, though. The exterior combination of lime stripes and beige with just a touch of green is like nothing else on the road today. Plus, the polished bumpers and wheels make it all pop. Inside, it's even better with monochromatic green upholstery and shag carpet. It features everything you'd ever need on a long trip, including a bathroom, kitchenette and lots of seating. The only hint of modernization is an HD TV next to the stove, but its size is a perfect fit for the hole there.

REWIND: Watch the GMC Hummer EV live reveal right here

Tue, Oct 20 2020

It has been a long wait to see the GMC Hummer electric pickup truck, which was teased way back at the Super Bowl in February of this year. And that wait ends tonight at 8 p.m. eastern time when GM pulls the covers off the truck. You can see the whole reveal right here, or during the World Series on Fox or "The Voice" on NBC. For everything we know about the truck, go to our reveal post here. The truck should be impressive. GMC has previously announced it will have up to 1,000 horsepower, and it will have a variety of fun features such as removable roof panels and four-wheel steering that can move the truck sort of sideways with "Crab Mode." The GMC Hummer will also be available in pickup and SUV forms. So be sure to tune in tonight for one of the biggest (figuratively and literally) vehicle reveals of the year. And keep an eye on Autoblog for all the latest on the Hummer and other vehicles.
