Description of 1993 GMC Typhoon |
1993 GMC Typhoon. This is the nearly 300 hp. turbo charged AWD SUV that set the world on its ear in the mid 90's. The truck offered here is a near perfect example. that has had only 2 adult car enthusiast owners since purchased new. In 1993 there were 2. 00 Typhoons produced. Of that 2. 00. only 101 of them were painted Apple Red with a Grey interior. "Like the Sonoma-based Syclone pickup truck from 1991. GMC produced a high-performance SUV for a brief time in the early 1990s. Based on the Jimmy. the GMC Typhoon used the same 4. 3-liter V-6 engine that was modified by Production Automotive Services and put into service with the Syclone. The motor sported a turbocharger and intercooler which boosted power to 280 hp. though devotees surmise that true output is much higher. All-wheel drive helped ensure that the engine’s power wasn’t just used to shred tires. upgraded brakes were required to stop the SUV. and an air-operated self-leveling rear suspension helped to take some of the harshness out of the performance tuned suspension. Quarter-mile times were regularly recorded at 14. 1 seconds by the press. and 0-60 times were around 5. 3 seconds. The GMC Typhoon today is unique in that it was the first (and for a very long time only) performance SUV. and it was a legitimate one at that. Fewer than 5. 00 were built. which makes it thin on the ground. and difficult to find in well-cared-for condition. And while the Typhoon is slightly slower than the Syclone. it is more luxurious inside. and can seat more than just a friend. making it a good alternative. "This is a true 2 owner vehicle that was purchased in 1996 from the original owner. It has always been stored covered indoors in a climate controlled building. All of the paint. decals and body work are original and in pristine condition. The plastic body panels are straight with no heat warping and excellent gaps. The Typhoon is well optioned. and everything works. right down the ICE COLD A/C. Power Windows/Locks. and factory AM/FM CD player. This truck also was ordered without the roof rack which is rare. The interior is a dark grey leather and shows like new as well. This is an investment grade collector vehicle. I think you would be hard pressed to find another Typhoon in this condition. It is 100% original besides standard maintenance items. It really is a time capsule. Pride in ownership shows. The truck runs. drives. and looks like new. The auction includes the fitted California Car Cover and storage box shown in the cargo compartment. All paperwork and manuals are also included. Below are several recent pictures of the truck. Please allow them all to load. It is worth the wait! Fitted Car cover is includedc The underside of the truck is clean and leak free I am listing this car for a friend who has decided to reduce his car collection.

I strongly encourage bidders to perform their own personal or 3rd party inspections prior to bidding since this is a 20 year old vehicle and expectations can vary.
