1993 GMC TYPHOON WITH LOW MILEAGE, IT'S CLEAN AND HARD TO FIND AND STOCK

This is 1 of 19 Typhoons that came from the assembly line in 1993 painted Garnet Red.  The paint code on the glove box label is WAL-9096.  This is confirmed Garnet Red and very rare.  Out of the two years these Typhoons were produced, 1993 was the only year GMC offered Garnet Red as an available color.  Only a handful of Garnet Red Typhoons still exists in unmolested condition with low mileage.  Garnet Red and Aspen Blue were the rarest colors on Typhoons.  Black was the most common color.  There are a lot of black Typhoons.  This one looks the part and performs very nicely.  This is a non-modified truck (which is very important for Typhoon buyers I am told) except for a K/N air filter and color matched upper IC cover and hood struts.  They were done by the previous owner who was a collector for Typhoons and owned the rarest ones.  Tires are in good condition.  The electrical items work.  It doe snot leak.  Engine and tranny are smooth working.  The cruise and AC work well.   No rust or bubbles anywhere on the body.  This vehicle was garaged all the time.  In poor condition this truck lists on KBB for over $15,000.  It is not easy to find this color and this low mileage example of these Typhoons.   This is a very well performing vehicle and true to its form it is very fast.  Speeds up like a bullet.  Seats are very comfortable for even large size individuals and interior is in very good shape.  The pictures do not show the factory roof rack.  It was removed, to make it more of a sleek look, but since it is listed for sale, I have installed it back on the vehicle now and it is in perfect condition. 

I am a private seller.  My reserve is very reasonably set as to this vehicle.  Please do not ask me to disclose the reserve or ask me what I want for the car.  If you have an offer feel free to make it and I will respond.  If you are serious about it we can go from there.  If you would like to see and inspect the car please do not wait until the last day.  It seems obvious but I must say it regardless:  If you win the auction, you are the buyer and you must pay.  That is not the time to inspect and decide if you want to complete the transaction.   The shipping is buyer's responsibility and if you would like to see what will it cost, please hit the shipping button on e-bay and you will be given 2-3 quotes by various shipping companies.  It is something e-bay provides, nothing to do with me.  The car is currently registered in CA.  It has a clear CA title.  The car will not be released until your funds are released into my account. That is when I will also send you the title.  The deposit is not refundable if you fail to complete the transaction for any reason.  

Here is some general information about Typhoons

The GMC Typhoon is a high-performance version of the GMC Jimmy SUV. Typhoon was produced only in 1992 and 1993. Both the GMC Syclone and Typhoon trucks featured a Mitsubishi TD06-17C/8 cm turbocharger and Garrett Water/Air intercooler attached to a 4.3 L LB4 V6 intake manifolds, fuel system, exhaust manifolds, and a 48mm twin-bore throttle body from the 5.7 L GM small block engine.   All Syclones and Typhoons had a GM 700R4 transmission (4L60) 4-speed automatic transmission and a Borg Warner 1372 (Syclone)/4472 (Typhoon) transfer case splitting torque with 35% forward and 65% to the rear wheels. Both trucks featured all wheel drive, upgraded brakes, and sport modifications to the standard suspensions. Unlike the Syclone, the Typhoon featured an air-operated self leveling rear suspension. Output was officially 280 hp (209 kW) and 360 lb·ft (488 N·m), but some stock Typhoons have been measured at over 300 hp (224 kW) on a dynamometer. The Typhoon was capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 5.3 seconds and could do a quarter-mile run in 14.1 seconds at 95 mph (153 km/h). Car & Driver compared the Syclone's performance favorably to the Ferrari 348 TS, Corvette and Nissan 300ZX Turbo.   It cost $29,970.

Typhoons were built for GMC byProduction Automotive Services of Troy Michigan.  Aside from a handful of prototypes, only 4,697 Typhoons were built by GMC: 2,497 in 1992, and 2,200 in 1993. Unlike regular production Syclones, Typhoons were offered in various color configurations that differed by year, with black/black being the most common.

2014 Chevy Silverado, GMC Sierra full configurators truck in

Sat, 15 Jun 2013

You can now put prices to your wildest option-sheet dreams of the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra. A microsite for the full-size pickup truck twins has been up since January, and now the full-blown configurator is live and ready to take your virtual orders. The only two chassis configurations available at the moment are the Crew Cab with either a short or standard bed - Regular and Double Cab versions will come later. In Silverado flavors that will run you $32,710 for the short box, $33,010 for the standard box, while the Sierra adds a $1,500 premium to both of those prices, and destination and handling for both models adds another $995.
Since these are American pickups the list of modifications is lengthy, but we added $11,450 in just two steps by starting with the Silverado Crew Cab and standard bed, then checking four-wheel drive and the LTZ Z71 package. Our final truck, resplendent in Brownstone Metallic paint, heated and cooled Cocoa/Dune perforated leather seating and tasty details like chrome recovery hooks, and engine block heater and LED cargo box lighting, rang up $57,285 at the candy store.
They'll be on dealer lots sometime this summer, so now's a good time to start practicing your box-checking.

GM tells NHTSA pickup truck electronic glitch is 'inconsequential'

Wed, 26 Feb 2014


General Motors has been enduring some serious problems with recalls recently, and it is hoping to avoid launching another major safety campaign. 200,921 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra pickups are under the microscope due to a rare problem with their instruments, an issue GM calls calls "inconsequential to motor vehicle safety." The Detroit-based automaker believes that the glitch is so minor that it has filed a petition with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration asking the government safety watchdog for permission to pass on recalling the vehicles.
The fault at issue can occasionally cause the instrument cluster to reset when drivers use the steering wheel controls to browse songs from an external media device connected to the truck's USB ports. If a song's title information exceeds 2,000 bytes, according to The Detroit News, then the instrument panel can reset, which in turn causes the gauges, shift position indicator and cruise control telltale to turn off briefly. When rebooting, other instrument panel lights may briefly illuminate without their functions actually being activated. GM claims that if this does happen, the instrument display lights go out for about 1.5 seconds and the bulb check lasts a further five seconds. However, this snafu has no actual affect on the truck's operation. The glitch is present in trucks built between January 29, 2013, and October 28, 2013.

GMC wants to target Jeep with compact crossover

Mon, Dec 14 2015

GMC execs might consider adding a Jeep competitor to the range, but rather than new rumors of a Wrangler-fighter, this time the Professional Grade brand could go after the Renegade. Division boss Duncan Aldred would like to broaden the brand's lineup with a subcompact crossover. "I keep telling everyone, 'How can General Motors' truck brand not be in the fastest-growing segment in the industry, an SUV segment," he said to Automotive News but wouldn't confirm whether the model was under development. General Motors already offers small crossovers like the Chevrolet Trax and Buick Encore, but the CUV segment in general continues to drive auto sales in the US. Adding a similarly sized GMC to the mix might increase the automaker's volume by appealing to different customers. "A GMC buyer is very different from a Buick buyer. This is like comparing the Fiat 500X to the Jeep Renegade. They are very similar but appeal to different people," Dave Sullivan, Product Analysis Manager at AutoPacific, told Autoblog. Aldred started the speculation about a Wrangler-fighting model in an interview in late 2014, and the company reportedly even raised the idea of an offroad-focused vehicle to dealers to see how they reacted. The development process was only in the very early planning stages, but the brand considered using Hummer for a little of the new product's inspiration. Aldred later suggested to journalists the possibility of adding a compact or midsize SUV to the GMC range in the next 10 years to appeal to more buyers. He didn't comment directly on the possibility of the Wrangler-challenger at the time beyond saying: "I can't confirm that ... everything's on the table." Related Video:
