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.

2018 GMC Sierra 1500 Buying Guide | What you need to know about this pickup truck

Mon, Mar 26 2018

The GMC Sierra is a work-capable truck that can be optioned like a luxury car. Variety and choice are the keywords for the Sierra, not to mention close rivals like the Ford F-150, Ram 1500, and Chevrolet's own Silverado 1500. A Sierra buyer has a seemingly infinite list of choices when it comes to specifying exactly what they need in their pickup. In terms of cab length alone, there are three choices – Regular, Double, and Crew – to go along with your pick of Short, Standard, or Long cargo bed. Engines range from a 4.3-liter V6, upward to a range-topping 6.2-liter V8 available in top trim levels like the SLT and Denali. The Sierra can be ordered with a choice of two- or four-wheel drive, and transmissions include both a 6- and 8-speed automatic, depending on your choice of powertrain and trim. Changes for the 2018 model year include the standard fitment of a rearview camera, along with a Tire Fill Alert system that lets the driver know when the correct pressure has been reached. A 7.0-inch touch-screen stereo system is also now standard equipment on base Sierras. Is the 2018 GMC Sierra Safe? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gives the 2018 GMC Sierra 1500 an overall crash-test rating of five stars. In front and side impact tests, the latest Sierra 1500 scored a five-star safety rating. A four-star rating was recorded in the Rollover resistance test – this rating applies to Sierra trucks fitted with either rear- or all-wheel drive. Because the Sierra is such a popular vehicle, it's worth noting that the NHTSA conducted crash tests on models fitted with both these drivetrains, and in two cab lengths. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, which provides ratings for new vehicles based on its own comprehensive crash tests, also tested two versions of the Sierra 1500. The extended cab model registered "good" ratings in all but one of the IIHS' crash tests. Driver side protection in the small overlap test was deemed "acceptable" – front passenger-side results were not rated. Headlight effectiveness was given an "acceptable" rating, dependent on trim level selected. Meanwhile, the ease of use of the Child Seat Anchors (LATCH) was deemed "acceptable" in the extended cab Sierra. Ratings dip slightly for the Sierra 1500 in standard cab format. Driver-side protection in the front small overlap test drops to "marginal," while the available LATCH system scored a "poor" for its ease of use.

2015 Chevy Canyon, GMC Colorado to net up to 27 mpg with 4-cylinder

Mon, 22 Sep 2014

Before even officially going on sale to customers, the GMC Canyon and Chevrolet Colorado midsize pickup twins are already proving to be a success with dealer orders exceeding original projections. Now, there is even more good news for these siblings, with the fuel economy for their four-cylinder engines netting class-leading numbers and the 3.6-liter V6 getting segment-best payload ratings.
The 2.5-liter four-cylinder in the two trucks makes 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque, and in rear-wheel drive and six-speed manual trim it has an EPA rating of 19 mpg city, 26 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined. Opting for a two-wheel drive configuration with the six-speed automatic bumps those figures slightly to 20 mpg city, 27 mpg highway and 22 mpg combined. Finally, a four-wheel drive model with the automatic 'box carries a 19/25/21 rating. Those numbers are a tick better here and there compared to what's offered by the optional V6.
The twins' major four-cylinder, midsize pickup rivals are the Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier, but they're both getting somewhat long in the tooth. To compare fuel economy and power, a two-wheel drive Tacoma with its 2.7-liter four-cylinder is rated at 159 hp and 180 lb-ft, and achieves 21/25/22 mpg. The Frontier with its 2.5-liter four-cylinder is good for 152 hp and 171 lb-ft, and carries 19/23/21 mpg figures.

2016 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon recalled for opening console lids

Mon, Dec 28 2015

The Basics: General Motors is recalling 9,200 examples of the 2016 Chevrolet Colorado with build dates between August 25, 2015 and September 24, 2015, and the 2016 GMC Canyon manufactured from August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. In total, 8,763 of these pickups are in the US, and the rest are in Canada or Mexico. The Problem: The console compartment lid could open in a crash, and the items inside the storage compartment might hit occupants during the accident. This fault puts the pickups out of compliance with the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard. Injuries/Deaths: None reported. The fix: Dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly with an improved part. If you own one: GM has not yet told NHTSA when the repairs for these pickups begin. Related Video: RECALL Subject : Console Door may not Fully Latch/FMVSS 201 Report Receipt Date: DEC 01, 2015 NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V807000 Component(s): LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES Potential Number of Units Affected: 8,763 All Products Associated with this Recall Vehicle MakeModelModel Year(s) CHEVROLET COLORADO 2016 GMC CANYON 2016 Details Manufacturer: General Motors LLC SUMMARY: General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2016 Chevrolet Colorado trucks manufactured August 25, 2015 to September 24, 2015, and GMC Canyon trucks manufactured August 28, 2015 to September 24, 2015. The affected vehicles have a console compartment lid latch assembly that may fail to keep the compartment door closed in the event of a crash. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." CONSEQUENCE: If the console compartment door does not remain closed in a crash, the contents stored in the console may strike the vehicle occupants, increasing their risk of injury. REMEDY: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the console compartment door latch assembly, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification schedule. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020, or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is 16370. NOTES: Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
