I should have been clear I have a 2001 ITR :)

^ The Cosworth... :sweetjesus:

And that camper is a steal. For the same function as a Westfalia, which go for crazy money, that's a super affordable roadtrip vehicle. And yeah swap in a newer engine and you're golden.

does anyone think this is the same one that was advertised sometime last year? the mileage looks familiar, and it had that URL link, but the other ad said it was not running and the pics showed it parked under a tree in someone's driveway.

Well beyond questionable.

A lot of money, but definitely a collector one day.

Quote:

The GMC Typhoon is a high-performance version of the GMC Jimmy SUV. Produced in 1992 and 1993 by GMC, the Typhoon was based on the 1991 Jimmy.

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 700r4 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 5.7 seconds and could do a quarter-mile run in 14.5 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$29,970, though the magazine criticized the plasticy interior pieces.

All three trucks were built for GMC by Production 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.
