1992 GMC TYPHOON

AWD * TURBOCHARGED * INTER-COOLED 4.3L V6

RARE SPECIAL ORDER "COPO"

(CORPORATE OFFICE PRODUCTION ORDER)

99% ORIGINAL

VERY NICE CONDITION!

ONLY 129K miles!

Finding a GMC Typhoon or Syclone that has not been modified, beat to death or been kept in 100% original condition is getting very very hard to find. Typhoons in this condition don’t come up for sale often and the market on these has been steadily climbing making these trucks clearly collectible and desirable for all GM or truck collectors.

This Typhoon is a great example and is correct in all aspects. It has all its original equipment including the factory am/fm CD player with EQ, and was built as a special order truck that is fully loaded with every power option including power steering, power brakes with ABS, power windows, power door locks with key remote, air conditioning (blows ice cold), power rear latch release, rear window wipers, rear window defroster, tilt wheel, cruise control, fully adjustable leather seats and of course the awesome turbocharged, inter-cooled 4.3L V6!

This truck was a special "Corporate Office Production Order - COPO" order that was built specifically for "press release and writers" and has some unusual factory installed upgrades. First, this Typhoon was ordered with a "Sportsman" bright package that consists of a chrome grill, chrome taillight trim (both have been removed but are included with the vehicle) as well as a bright finished roof rack and rails. Additionally, this COPO Typhoon boasts the "Ultra Performance Package" which included a special order factory installed higher stall lock-up converter, elevated fuel pressure to the injectors and increased boost levels bumping the factory rated 290hp on standard Typhoon's up to a whopping 308hp!

This Typhoon was driven lightly, used as a weekend cruiser and driven an average of about 6000 miles per year for the last 22+ years. Other than routine maintenance items (tires, brakes, oils and filters, etc.) this truck has never been hacked up or modified and has a clean Car-Fax free of any major accidents, thefts, or mileage discrepancies.

Exterior cosmetics:

Although the Apple Red on Silver paint color is original to the truck, this truck has been repainted several years ago and still looks great. It shows very little weathering and although there are several small rock chips and blemishes on the truck, the paint remains bright and shiny as I have tried to show you in the photographs. There is some minor signs of rust bubbling around the window and although small and no actual holes to speak of, this is worth mentioning and I have also done my best to show you this in the photos. Also, the truck had the misfortune of being backed into while sitting in a parking lot. Although it was a light hit, the drivers side rear cladding was cracked and there are several dings in the rear tailgate and roll pan from the impact (please see photos). Please understand that this truck is 22+ years old and has been driven and enjoyed, so do not expect a truck that is in showroom condition and needs no attention cosmetically as this is not the case.

Interior cosmetics:

The interior looks absolutely fantastic for its age. There are no cracks or splits in the dash, the seats are free of any rips or tears, the carpet remains clean and not faded from the sun. No wear or stains or smells. The rear window "shocks" are worn and will need replacement as they no longer want to keep the glass in the lifted position. I may have these replaced before the auction ends but please do not count on this due to my limited time. The spare tire cover (located in the rear cargo area of the truck) has a tear in the face. This obviously does not effect function, but still worth mentioning.

Mechanically:

The truck runs and drives great, starts easily and drives without pulling, bouncing, shaking or otherwise. The lights, horn, wipers, turn signals, A/C system, stereo, etc. all work as they should. The turbo spools up quickly and the truck accelerates as you would expect. There are no warning lights on the dash currently lit and all of the gauges function as they should. It is one of the cleanest and best driving Typhoons I have owned and I have owned several of both the Syclones and Typhoons to compare with. The truck is comfortable and very accommodating yet amazingly fast especially from a dead stop! As for the bad, there is a baffle with-in the muffler, or maybe a heat-shield that is loose and rattles at an idle. Also, there appears to be a valve cover gasket that slowly seeps oil and drips on the exhaust manifold, so you can occasionally see some smoke and smell the oil being burnt off. These all seem to be relatively minor to repair, but I do not want the new owner to have any surprises. Please feel free to have your mechanic come look at the vehicle, I have nothing to hide.

Overall:

The Typhoon is a low production, collectible truck to begin with. These trucks shook the automotive world when they were introduced, and were decimating the performance cars of that time including Chevy Corvette and the Ferrari 348. Additionally, this Typhoon has rare COPO documentation and remains clean and unmolested with low miles. Although not perfect, the truck continues to turn heads whenever she is driven.

I recently bought this Typhoon with the intention of driving her daily but have since decided to go a different direction and keep my GMC Syclone instead; my loss is now your gain. Below you will find a link for the Typhoon running and driving. Both the video and the photographs you see were shot the same day this listing was written. What you see is what you are bidding on. Please ask your questions or better yet, come view the truck in person as all sales are final. I have a clean and clear title in my hand.

Terms: (please read entirely)

This vehicle is being sold in "as is" and "where is" condition. As previously stated, it is your responsibility to ask questions, inspect the vehicle and do your own homework/research BEFORE you place your bid. I have done my best to describe the Typhoon as accurately as I can, but I also understand that opinions are subjective so please feel free to base your own. Additionally, often photographs make vehicles look nicer than they actually are so I absolutely encourage any potential bidders to come and see/inspect the vehicle in person themselves. There is absolutely no warranty expressed or implied with the sale of this vehicle. I ask that you please not bid if: 1.You do not have the funds available to complete the transaction or 2. You have not received permission from your spouse to buy a vehicle. If you have negative feedback or a feedback score of five (5) or less, then you must contact me prior to bidding. If you do not contact me prior to placing your bid, I will cancel your bid and block you from bidding again. By bidding you understand that you are entering into a legally binding contract. All non paying bidders will be reported to eBay, appropriate non-payment feedback will be left and you will be blocked from ever bidding on my auctions again. I will require a non-refundable $1000.00 deposit to be paid within 24hrs from auction end and the remaining balance to be paid in no longer than three (3) days from auctions end. Vehicle can be paid in cash, bank issued cashiers check, or direct wire transfer only. Thank you for your understanding and interest in this rare truck, good luck if you choose to bid!

GM investing $2 billion in Tennessee plant to build Cadillac Lyriq, other EVs

Tue, Oct 20 2020

DETROIT — General Motors said on Tuesday it will invest $2 billion to convert its Spring Hill,Â Tennessee, factory to produce electric vehicles, starting with the new Cadillac Lyriq, alongside existing combustion-engine Cadillacs. Spring Hill will beÂ GM's third U.S. electric vehicle factory, along with existing plants in Detroit and Orion Township, Michigan. TheÂ TennesseeÂ plant was built in 1990 as the exclusive source forÂ GM's now-defunct Saturn brand. The Cadillac Lyriq crossover is slated to go into production in Spring Hill in late 2022, according to AutoForecast Solutions (AFS), which tracks industry production plans. AFS said it expects some electric vehicle production will be announced at a later date for a factory in Mexico. Among additional investments,Â GMÂ on Tuesday said it will spend $32 million at its truck plant in Flint, Michigan, to increase production of the Chevrolet Silverado andÂ GMC Sierra heavy-duty pickups. GMÂ will spend $100 million to shift production of the redesignedÂ GMC Acadia crossover from Spring Hill to a plant near Lansing, Michigan. Spring Hill will continue to build the gas-engine Cadillac XT5 and XT6 crossovers. The plant also will build other future electric vehicles in addition to the Lyriq. The automaker's plans for investing in U.S. factories comes with two weeks left in the U.S. presidential election campaign. President Donald Trump and Democratic rival Joe Biden are competing for support from auto workers in Midwestern swing states. GMÂ Chief Executive Mary Barra has outlined plans to invest $20 billion by 2025 in new electric vehicles and battery technology. The automaker is spending $2.2 billion to overhaul and retool its Detroit-Hamtramck factory to build aÂ GMC Hummer EV electric pickup truck in late 2021, followed by an automated robotaxi and other electric vehicles. GMÂ builds its electric Chevrolet Bolt at a large assembly plant north of Detroit.

GMC looks to space with the Hummer EV Omega Edition

Fri, May 5 2023

The Hummer EV is nothing if not outlandish. Everything about it is over the top, from its size to its weight, but the folks at GMC felt it needed something more to stand out. Enter the 2024 GMC Hummer EV Omega Edition, an enormous matte blue vehicle with unique features and an exclusive price tag. The special edition builds on the 3X truck and SUV models with a unique Neptune Blue Matte paint color and black exterior trim pieces. It also brings an off-road package, exclusive 18-inch wheels, the MultiPro tailgate with a Kicker audio system, unique interior carpeting, and a transparent roof. In addition to the wheels and 35-inch mud-terrain tires, the off-road package brings underbody skid plates and additional off-road camera views. GMC said it took inspiration for the Hummer EV from the “endless expanse of space,Â” which is likely true since the vehicle is about as efficient as a Saturn V rocket. Interestingly, the automaker is using the Miami Grand Prix as the launchpad for the EV, offering 0-60 sprints to invited attendees at the event. The Hummer EV Omega Edition Pickup gets a 24-module battery and starts at $149,995, while the SUV gets a 20-module battery and a $139,995 starting price. The hard-to-get EV is exceedingly rare in its standard form, and the Omega Edition is only available to existing order holders, so itÂ’s unlikely any of us will see the unique blue 'ute anytime soon. Despite its ridiculousness, the Hummer EVÂ’s wait list extends into multiple years for some buyers. GMC took thousands of orders and only built 1,000 units in March, so you can see how wait times quickly pile up. That said, production nearly doubled between February and March, giving hope to impatient order-holders. ItÂ’s not possible to place an order at this time, so if you donÂ’t have a reservation already, it might be time to look at a different EV. Related video: This content is hosted by a third party.

2014 GMC Sierra 4.3L V6 to offer segment-best 305 LB-FT

Mon, 06 May 2013

General Motors has released more information on the 4.3-liter V6 available in the 2014 GMC Sierra. The engine will serve up 285 horsepower and 305 pound-feet of torque, with a six-speed automatic transmission, and giving the V6 Sierra a maximum tow rating of 7,200 pounds in regular cab, short bed four-wheel drive configuration. GM claims that figure is 500 pounds more than the equivalent Ford F-150 equipped with a 3.7-liter V6, and 700 pounds more than the Ram 1500 with its 3.6-liter V6. Buyers can expect to see the 2014 GMC Sierra with the 4.3-liter engine start at $25,085 including destination.
While the engine does deliver more torque than either of its main competitors, it falls short on the horsepower front. The 3.7-liter V6 in the F-150 develops 302 hp while the 3.6-liter V6 in the Ram 1500 yields 305 hp. GM says fuel economy estimates for its newest entry will land later this year. Check out the full press release below for more information.
