1993 GMC TYPHOON WITH LOW MILEAGE, IT'S CLEAN AND HARD TO FIND AND STOCK

This is 1 of 19 Typhoons that came from the assembly line in 1993 painted Garnet Red.  The paint code on the glove box label is WAL-9096.  This is confirmed Garnet Red and very rare.  Out of the two years these Typhoons were produced, 1993 was the only year GMC offered Garnet Red as an available color.  Only a handful of Garnet Red Typhoons still exists in unmolested condition with low mileage.  Garnet Red and Aspen Blue were the rarest colors on Typhoons.  Black was the most common color.  There are a lot of black Typhoons.  This one looks the part and performs very nicely.  This is a non-modified truck (which is very important for Typhoon buyers I am told) except for a K/N air filter and color matched upper IC cover and hood struts.  They were done by the previous owner who was a collector for Typhoons and owned the rarest ones.  Tires are in good condition.  The electrical items work.  It doe snot leak.  Engine and tranny are smooth working.  The cruise and AC work well.   No rust or bubbles anywhere on the body.  This vehicle was garaged all the time.  In poor condition this truck lists on KBB for over $15,000.  It is not easy to find this color and this low mileage example of these Typhoons.   This is a very well performing vehicle and true to its form it is very fast.  Speeds up like a bullet.  Seats are very comfortable for even large size individuals and interior is in very good shape.  The pictures do not show the factory roof rack.  It was removed, to make it more of a sleek look, but since it is listed for sale, I have installed it back on the vehicle now and it is in perfect condition. 

I am a private seller.  My reserve is very reasonably set as to this vehicle.  Please do not ask me to disclose the reserve or ask me what I want for the car.  If you have an offer feel free to make it and I will respond.  If you are serious about it we can go from there.  If you would like to see and inspect the car please do not wait until the last day.  It seems obvious but I must say it regardless:  If you win the auction, you are the buyer and you must pay.  That is not the time to inspect and decide if you want to complete the transaction.   The shipping is buyer's responsibility and if you would like to see what will it cost, please hit the shipping button on e-bay and you will be given 2-3 quotes by various shipping companies.  It is something e-bay provides, nothing to do with me.  The car is currently registered in CA.  It has a clear CA title.  The car will not be released until your funds are released into my account. That is when I will also send you the title.  The deposit is not refundable if you fail to complete the transaction for any reason.  

Here is some general information about Typhoons

The GMC Typhoon is a high-performance version of the GMC Jimmy SUV. Typhoon was produced only in 1992 and 1993. Both the GMC Syclone and Typhoon trucks featured a Mitsubishi TD06-17C/8 cm 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 GM 700R4 transmission (4L60) 4-speed automatic transmission and a Borg Warner 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 officially 280 hp (209 kW) and 360 lb·ft (488 N·m), but some stock Typhoons have been measured at over 300 hp (224 kW) on a dynamometer. 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 & Driver compared the Syclone's performance favorably to the Ferrari 348 TS, Corvette and Nissan 300ZX Turbo.   It cost $29,970.

Typhoons were built for GMC byProduction 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.

2014 Chevy Silverado priced from *$24,585, V8 gets better economy than Ford EcoBoost V6

Mon, 01 Apr 2013

Chevrolet has thrown down the next hand in the pickup truck poker wars and revealed at least a couple of potential aces - depending on which numbers matter most to you. The 2014 2014 Silverado 1500 with its 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 gets 335 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, is mated to a six-speed automatic, can tow 11,500 pounds with the optional Max Trailer Package and costs the same as the outgoing Silverado, $24,585 (*including $995 destination fee). Chevy says the Silverado also stands atop the fuel economy charts when comparing any competitor with a V8 engine - and some competitors with V6 engines. The two-wheel drive model returns 16 miles per gallon city, 23 mpg highway, 19 mpg combined in two-wheel drive guise and 16 mpg city, 22 mpg highway and 18 mpg combined as a four-wheel drive.
For context around those numbers, the most fuel efficient V8-powered 2013 Ford F-150 pickups lose about two mpg in every metric compared to the Silverado, the 3.5-liter V6 EcoBoost returning 16 city, 18 highway and 22 combined in two-wheel drive. However, that EcoBoost does have 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of torque. You can get a Ram 1500 with a 3.6-liter V6 that gets 25 mpg highway, but it has 305 hp and 269 lb-ft of torque. The 2013 Ram with the 5.7-liter Hemi V8 and its 395 hp and 407 lb-ft drops one mpg in every category to the Silverado. Its tow rating is 200 pounds beyond its nearest competitor, the F-150 with the Max Trailer Tow Package.
Elsewhere, the new Silverado gets a quieter cab with a redesigned interior, a new bed with improved load-management possibilities, disc brakes all around, tweaked steering and suspension, along with free standard scheduled maintenance for two years or 24,000 miles.

General Motors shaking up its marketing... again

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

One of the things that dogs the full comeback of General Motors is the instability of its marketing. That part of the automaker got yet another big shakeup today when GM confirmed what I have been tweeting for a few days - strong rumors that the Chevrolet and Cadillac ad accounts are walking to new ad agencies.
Cadillac, GM's luxury brand, is going into review from Fallon Worldwide, Minneapolis and the indications are that Campbell-Ewald, Chevy's old ad shop, will end up with most or all of it. C-E just announced that it was moving from its long-time home in Warren, MI to a new downtown Detroit office next to Ford Field, just blocks from GM.
The other shoe to drop shortly will be the shift of GM's most important brand, Chevy, from Goodby, Silverstein & Partners of San Francisco to McCann-Erickson of Troy, MI. McCann used to be the agency for Buick and GMC, as well as GM's corporate advertising, and has retained some pieces of business over the last few years. Sources have even told us that it was McCann that did a lot of the creative work on Chevy's new ad platform, Find New Roads. (Not to be confused with a former McCann tagline for Saab, "Find Your Own Road.")

GMC Canyon's jump seats innovate to keep kids safe [w/video]

Sat, 03 May 2014

We dig simple solutions to problems. There's something highly gratifying about making a minute change to fix something, rather than tearing up the playbook. That's what GMC has done with the new Canyon midsize pickup.
When putting a car seat in, car seat manufacturers require that at least 80 percent of the seat's base fit on the bottom cushion. That's a big problem in extended-cab pickups like the Canyon, which feature jump seats with shorter bottom cushions, in place of the larger, more traditionally designed bench.
The Canyon gets around this with extendable jump seats - simply pop out the headrest and slot it into the bottom seat cushion, and the truck can now easily accommodate a child's seat.
