THIS IS A NO RESERVE LISTING.

This is my 1992 GMC Typhoon with 27,957 original miles.  This is one of the cleanest, most original Typhoons in the country, and it is no doubt one of the best-quality Typhoon trucks for sale in the country.

This Typhoon is a pristine, museum-quality collector's vehicle in totally stock, unmodified condition.  If you have been looking for that "perfect" Typhoon, this is the one. 

This is a two-owner vehicle since new, and this Typhoon has been owned by the same person for the past 20 years.  During that time, the car was always garaged and covered.  This truck has not seen rain, snow or salt in at least the last 20 years.

This is the proverbial "park it in the garage and rub it with a diaper" car.  You could not hope to find a cleaner, more original or better condition Typhoon anywhere.

The GMC Typhoon is a very rare ultra high-performance vehicle built by GM in the early 1990s.  This truck features the 4.3L V6 with a turbocharger plus AWD.  Horsepower was rated at 280 at the time, which was less than the actual output of over 300HP.  These Typhoons would go 0-60 in 5.3 seconds in an era when Ferraris couldn't even keep up. 

Only 4697 Typhoons were produced in total, for model years 1992 and 1993 only.  In 1992, only 345 of them were made in this color, Apple Red. 

Typhoons were luxurious as well as fast, and this one has leather seats, AWD, automatic transmission, A/C, factory AM/FM CD player, keyless entry plus power locks and windows. 

I have the original books and manuals for this Typhoon plus two sets of keys.

The paint and body are absolutely gorgeous.  The paint is all original and it is in superb condition with no oxidation or fading.  There is absolutely no body rust.  The paint and body are so superb, you can hardly believe this car is 20 years old.  The paint is glossy, shiny and there is no wear, sun-fade, nor any exterior faults of any significance.

The factory aluminum wheels are in beautiful condition, and the truck has the correct Firestone Firehawk SVX tires with good tread.

The interior of this Typhoon still has the new car smell- really.  The interior shows NO wear- the leather is superb, the carpets and upholstery look new and the entire interior looks like the day it was made.  This an impossibly gorgeous and clean interior.  All of the switches, controls and plastics are tight and still feel and look like they did when they were new. 

This Typhoon starts, runs and drives exactly how it should- which is just like new.  This truck is totally stock and not modified in any way.  It is exactly the way it was built by GM.  It runs and drives beautifully and if you wanted, there is no reason you couldn't drive this truck anywhere in the country.

The underside of this GMC is spotless- it is totally clean, solid and in beautiful condition. 

This is a superb, collector's quality example of a rare vehicle- this Typhoon will never be worth less than it is today, and it will always continue to appreciate in value. 

If you want to truly "nit-pick" a car this nice, here is what you will find: there are a few nearly imperceptible tiny dings on the side from "garage wear".  The driver's seat outside bolster foam is very slightly flattened.  And the left front plastic fender cladding is just the tiniest bit loose and vibrates slightly- this very minor vibration has worn the paint beneath the plastic trim.  These are exceedingly minor faults to find on a car this pristine. 

This Typhoon belongs in a GM museum or a private car collection.  This is just an amazing car in every respect.

2019 GMC Yukon Graphite Edition offers Denali engine and features without the chrome

Tue, Jun 12 2018

A sporty-looking option package called RST was recently introduced for the Chevy Tahoe and Suburban that also offered the option of a 6.2-liter V8 and magnetic suspension. Now GMC is getting in on the action with the GMC Yukon and Yukon XL Graphite Edition. The trim package adds a number of visual enhancements, and, if you're so inclined, has a performance version with the same 6.2-liter V8 and magnetic suspension as the Tahoe RST and Yukon Denali. As for appearances, the Graphite Edition adds black trim almost everywhere, including the roof rails, grille, fog light surrounds, and window surrounds. It also adds 22-inch wheels, regardless of whether it's just the appearance version or the performance version. The appearance package has machined-finish wheels, and the performance package has black painted wheels. As previously mentioned, the performance version of the Graphite Edition adds magnetic suspension and the 6.2-liter V8 with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque found on the Denali and the Tahoe and Suburban RSTs. It's coupled to a 10-speed automatic transmission, and gets a rear axle ratio of 3.23:1. It also gets a few other Denali features such as a color heads-up display, Bose noise cancellation, a 170-amp alternator, and a trailer brake controller. The Graphite Edition can be had with both two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The Graphite Edition can only be had on Yukon and Yukon XL SLT models. Pricing hasn't been announced yet, but it's likely it will be a bit more affordable than buying a Denali model.

2016 Green Truck of the Year, Commercial Green Car of the Year finalists

Sat, Oct 24 2015

Not only are commercial-grade haulers getting more green love lately, they're getting more different kinds of green love. The 2016 Green Truck of the Year, the second time the award has been handed out, is being decided by judges from Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show. This year the award is joined by the new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year, which crowns one of the little vans increasingly used by small business as cargo and delivery vehicles. The Green Truck of the Year finalists are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax (pictured), Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. The first three of those were on last year's list, but since they are completely new or upgraded for 2016 - Ford with its all-aluminum body, the General Motors twins with the new diesel Duramax engine - they qualify for entry again. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel won last year. The Commercial Green Car finalists are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. You can read more details in the presser below, and the awards will be announced in San Antonio sometime during the show from November 19-22. San Antonio Auto & Truck Show Announces 2016 Green Truck of the Year and Commercial Green Car of the Year Finalists SAN ANTONIO, Oct. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Green Car Journal and the San Antonio Auto & Truck Show have announced finalists for the 2016 Green Truck of the Year™ and 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ awards. The Green Truck of the Year™ nominees are the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax, Ford F-150, GMC Canyon Duramax, Nissan Titan XD, and Toyota Tacoma. Vying for the all-new 2016 Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award are the Chevrolet City Express, Ford Transit Connect, Mercedes-Benz Metris, Nissan NV200, and Ram ProMaster City. "Over the past few decades, new car models have benefitted from design and technology improvements that have brought higher fuel efficiency and greater levels of environmental compatibility," said Green Car Journal and CarsOfChange.com Editor and Publisher Ron Cogan. "With models like these ten deserving finalists, we're witnessing the pickup and light commercial vehicle field enjoying the same attention." The new Commercial Green Car of the Year™ award is part of an expanded awards program presented at this year's 2015 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show.

General Motors could turn Hamtramck into its electric pickup, SUV hub

Fri, Nov 15 2019

Electric off-roaders could revitalize the Detroit-Hamtramck factory that General Motors previously announced it will close. While official details remain shrouded in secrecy, analysts believe the plant will be re-tooled to manufacture at least three electric models due out during the early 2020s. The plant's scheduled closure was one of the grievances the United Auto Workers (UAW) union cited when it embarked on a 40-day strike in September 2019. General Motors agreed to keep it open without shedding much light on what it planned to build there. Analyst at LMC Automotive told the The Detroit News they believe an often-rumored electric SUV that will resurrect Hummer's name, image, or both will be one of the models assigned to the Hamtramck plant. Battery-powered variants of the GMC Sierra and the Cadillac Escalade will be made there, too, as will an enigmatic van. LMC Automotive's Jeff Schuster believes the van will come first; it could enter production as early as 2021. The Hummer — which might also be offered as a pickup — will follow before the end of 2022, while the Sierra and the Escalade will both arrive in 2023. We're taking this report with a grain of salt, though, because only one of the aforementioned models has been announced by General Motors. Rumors of a Hummer resurrection emerged in the summer of 2019, just a few weeks before we heard unverified reports of a battery-powered variant of the next-generation Escalade. General Motors confirmed plans to enter the burgeoning electric pickup truck segment, which Ford, Rivian, and Tesla also have their sights on, but it hasn't detailed how or when. The van is a mystery. General Motors refused to comment on the report. It previously announced it will keep Hamtramck open, and invest $3 billion to build electric vehicles there. The investment will create 2,225 jobs. Inaugurated in February 1985, the Hamtramck factory has churned out a diverse selection of models over the past 34 years, including Cadillac's Eldorado, Seville, and Allante, the Oldsmobile Toronado, the Buick Riviera, and more recently, gasoline-electric Chevrolet Volt. General Motors announced plans to close Hamtramck in 2018, but it quickly backpedaled and extended its lease on life until 2020 by keeping the Chevrolet Impala and the Cadillac CT6 around for a few additional months.
