Description of 1992 GMC Typhoon

To start a little info on the typhoon for those who are not familiar with them : The GMC Typhoon is a high-performance version of the GMC Jimmy SUV. Produced in 1992 and 1993. the Typhoon was based on the 1991 GMC Jimmy SUV. Both the GMC Syclone and Typhoon trucks featured a Mitsubishi TD06-17C/8 cm2 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 4L60 4-speed automatic transmission and a BorgWarner 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 280 hp (209 kW) and 360 lb·ft (488 N·m). 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 and Driver compared the Syclone's performance favorably to the Ferrari 348ts. Chevrolet Corvette. and Nissan 300ZX Turbo. It cost US$29. 70My particular model has a bunch of upgrades and is quite the eye catcher. Body is in really clean condition with no damage or dents. accident free history. only 130 units made with bright red exterior and black and grey interior so this one is a rare model! Very fast with a rebuilt turbo as of two ears ago. new external high performance waste gate has been added. the transmission was rebuilt at 85k with new high performance corvette shift kit. very fast with an awd drive train. has had new shocks front and rear. new brakes front and rear . new a/c compressor. new pullies. new belts. new cap and rotors. new plug wires. new tires. super sport 18 inch rims. Interior is immaculate. comes with a new instrument aluminum panel kit never used. new in box. comes with upgraded driver power seat adaption. new dash cover in box. and some additional interior moldings that I bought as extras. Up graded hood with scoop and ground effect front bumper kit. This is a fun car to drive. I've enjoyed it for a long time and now its time for someone else to enjoy it as I have. I hate to let it go but the wife says its the truck or her so I guess you know what I chose ;) here is some addition info on the trucks condition. I do have receipts for the work done and will be included with the car. call me with any particular questions 7205267321 Paint is an 8 out of 10 with minor sun fading on hood with a little wax looks perfect.
