1992 GMC TYPHOON

AWD * TURBOCHARGED * INTER-COOLED 4.3L V6

RARE SPECIAL ORDER "COPO"

(CORPORATE OFFICE PRODUCTION ORDER)

99% ORIGINAL

VERY NICE CONDITION!

ONLY 129K miles!

Finding a GMC Typhoon or Syclone that has not been modified, beat to death or been kept in 100% original condition is getting very very hard to find. Typhoons in this condition don’t come up for sale often and the market on these has been steadily climbing making these trucks clearly collectible and desirable for all GM or truck collectors.

This Typhoon is a great example and is correct in all aspects. It has all its original equipment including the factory am/fm CD player with EQ, and was built as a special order truck that is fully loaded with every power option including power steering, power brakes with ABS, power windows, power door locks with key remote, air conditioning (blows ice cold), power rear latch release, rear window wipers, rear window defroster, tilt wheel, cruise control, fully adjustable leather seats and of course the awesome turbocharged, inter-cooled 4.3L V6!

This truck was a special "Corporate Office Production Order - COPO" order that was built specifically for "press release and writers" and has some unusual factory installed upgrades. First, this Typhoon was ordered with a "Sportsman" bright package that consists of a chrome grill, chrome taillight trim (both have been removed but are included with the vehicle) as well as a bright finished roof rack and rails. Additionally, this COPO Typhoon boasts the "Ultra Performance Package" which included a special order factory installed higher stall lock-up converter, elevated fuel pressure to the injectors and increased boost levels bumping the factory rated 290hp on standard Typhoon's up to a whopping 308hp!

This Typhoon was driven lightly, used as a weekend cruiser and driven an average of about 6000 miles per year for the last 22+ years. Other than routine maintenance items (tires, brakes, oils and filters, etc.) this truck has never been hacked up or modified and has a clean Car-Fax free of any major accidents, thefts, or mileage discrepancies.

Exterior cosmetics:

Although the Apple Red on Silver paint color is original to the truck, this truck has been repainted several years ago and still looks great. It shows very little weathering and although there are several small rock chips and blemishes on the truck, the paint remains bright and shiny as I have tried to show you in the photographs. There is some minor signs of rust bubbling around the window and although small and no actual holes to speak of, this is worth mentioning and I have also done my best to show you this in the photos. Also, the truck had the misfortune of being backed into while sitting in a parking lot. Although it was a light hit, the drivers side rear cladding was cracked and there are several dings in the rear tailgate and roll pan from the impact (please see photos). Please understand that this truck is 22+ years old and has been driven and enjoyed, so do not expect a truck that is in showroom condition and needs no attention cosmetically as this is not the case.

Interior cosmetics:

The interior looks absolutely fantastic for its age. There are no cracks or splits in the dash, the seats are free of any rips or tears, the carpet remains clean and not faded from the sun. No wear or stains or smells. The rear window "shocks" are worn and will need replacement as they no longer want to keep the glass in the lifted position. I may have these replaced before the auction ends but please do not count on this due to my limited time. The spare tire cover (located in the rear cargo area of the truck) has a tear in the face. This obviously does not effect function, but still worth mentioning.

Mechanically:

The truck runs and drives great, starts easily and drives without pulling, bouncing, shaking or otherwise. The lights, horn, wipers, turn signals, A/C system, stereo, etc. all work as they should. The turbo spools up quickly and the truck accelerates as you would expect. There are no warning lights on the dash currently lit and all of the gauges function as they should. It is one of the cleanest and best driving Typhoons I have owned and I have owned several of both the Syclones and Typhoons to compare with. The truck is comfortable and very accommodating yet amazingly fast especially from a dead stop! As for the bad, there is a baffle with-in the muffler, or maybe a heat-shield that is loose and rattles at an idle. Also, there appears to be a valve cover gasket that slowly seeps oil and drips on the exhaust manifold, so you can occasionally see some smoke and smell the oil being burnt off. These all seem to be relatively minor to repair, but I do not want the new owner to have any surprises. Please feel free to have your mechanic come look at the vehicle, I have nothing to hide.

Overall:

The Typhoon is a low production, collectible truck to begin with. These trucks shook the automotive world when they were introduced, and were decimating the performance cars of that time including Chevy Corvette and the Ferrari 348. Additionally, this Typhoon has rare COPO documentation and remains clean and unmolested with low miles. Although not perfect, the truck continues to turn heads whenever she is driven.

I recently bought this Typhoon with the intention of driving her daily but have since decided to go a different direction and keep my GMC Syclone instead; my loss is now your gain. Below you will find a link for the Typhoon running and driving. Both the video and the photographs you see were shot the same day this listing was written. What you see is what you are bidding on. Please ask your questions or better yet, come view the truck in person as all sales are final. I have a clean and clear title in my hand.

2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra show all their sides in Detroit

Tue, 15 Jan 2013

There could hardly be more riding on the next-generation General Motors full-size pickup trucks, so the automaker has wisely made sure to have a selection of different models on hand at the Detroit Auto Show to show off. The 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and 2014 GMC Sierra were both officially introduced last month at a stand-alone reveal, and now they'll be on display for the public to see in various body configurations and trim levels.
The Silverado LTZ Crew Cab and Sierra SLE Extended Cab are aimed at providing more of a high-end pickup experience, while the Silverado LT Z71 Extended Cab and Sierra SLT Z71 Crew Cab should have off-road fans scouting out their favorite trails. The crew cab trucks won't go into production until sometime during the second quarter of this year - with other bodystyles coming later in the year - but we have plenty of live images from Detroit for you to enjoy.

2014 GMC Sierra Regular Cab revealed

Thu, 16 May 2013

Despite initially launching in just the Crew Cab configuration, the lineup of 2014 GMC Sierra and 2014 Chevrolet Silverado trucks will eventually grow to include three cab sizes and three bed lengths. Oddly enough, our first look at the Regular Cab bodystyle has arrived in a General Motors press release discussing the aerodynamics of the new truck, with an image showing a Sierra Regular Cab testing in the wind tunnel. GMC's website says that Regular Cab and Double Cab models will be available by summer.
While it really didn't take too much imagination to figure out what the two-door version would look like, this Regular Cab Z71 looks pretty sharp with its standard-length (6.5-feet) bed - a longer bed will also be offered. In regards to the aero tuning of the 2014 Sierra, these images show just how far GM has gone in maximizing the truck's fuel efficiency and reducing its noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) levels. Interestingly, the press release shows visual evidence that keeping the tailgate up is best for aero - there's always been some Mythbusters-level contention about such things -but GM also says that adding tonneau covers (preferably soft) and running boards can also help improve the overall aerodynamics. Scroll down for all of this aero info in the official press release.

Chauffeur attacks motorist in road rage incident

Thu, Apr 7 2016

A California man was the victim of an intense and violent road rage attack on the 405 freeway on Tuesday, but when the police were called they told the driver to shake it off. Shahnam Asbaghi told KTLA that the altercation began when a GMC Yukon private car began tailgating him. "This limousine Yukon driver was just tailgating me the whole time since when I got onto the 405 North," Asbaghi told reporters. "It was so bad I actually got scared and nervous so I exited early." When Asbaghi exited the freeway, the Yukon followed and rear ended him at the bottom of the ramp. "He just rammed me with his car at probably 25, 30 miles per hour," said Asbaghi. "When he hit me he got out of his car, came around to the driver's side and punched my window four or five times. Then he ran back to his car, got in his car, and drove away." Startled, Asbaghi followed his assailant in an attempt to get the Yukon's license plate number. After a quick chase, the Yukon stopped near Sepulveda Boulevard and Sherman Way where the driver got out of the truck, retrieved a long, unidentified item from the rear cargo area, and attacked Asbaghi's car again. Video shot by Asbaghi shows the chauffeur striking the driver's side window with the object, tossing it back in the Yukon, then leaving the scene. Asbaghi called 911, but the police weren't impressed. "Because my head wasn't smashed, because the window wasn't smashed, no harm no foul is what they told me," Asbaghi told KTLA. The cops did make the drivers exchange information, but no arrests were made. The Los Angeles Police Department is now looking into the incident to make sure they handled the situation correctly. The day after the attack, L.A. Private Car announced via Twitter that they fired the angry Chauffeur after reviewing the footage.
