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.

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!

GMC SIerra Denali is ready to live the high life

Wed, 29 May 2013

Between the information for the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado High Country and the accidently leaked picture on GMC's consumer site, it didn't take much imagination to envision what the 2014 GMC Sierra Denali would be like. But here it is. Going on sale this fall, the 2014 Sierra Denali will continue to be the most luxurious pickup truck in the General Motors portfolio, while getting more power and technology than ever before.
Like previous models, the 2014 Sierra Denali stands out from lower Sierra models with a big cheese-grater chrome grille, 20-inch chrome wheels and body-color bumpers. Inside, the Denali gets plenty of leather with contrasting stitching, but this is where GMC really steps up from the Silverado High Country with real aluminum trim and a new customizable eight-inch driver display in the gauge cluster. Standard features will include heated and cooled front bucket seats, the Intellilink infotainment system with Bose audio, while the options list offers a Driver Alert Package (with forward collision alert and lane departure warning), a rear-seat entertainment system and a Z71 Off-Road Package.
As for power, the standard engine will be the 5.3-liter EcoTec3 V8 with its 355 horsepower, and the optional engine will be the new 6.2-liter V8. Although official power figures for the bigger engine aren't in yet, GM is finally putting some estimates on paper expecting around 420 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque to go with a 12,000-pound towing capacity. The new Sierra Denali will be available in either two- or four-wheel drive. Scroll down for more details listed in the official press release.

GMC Terrain's first generation could get recalled for headlights

Tue, Mar 8 2022

According to Car Sales Base, GMC sold 745,454 Terrain crossovers from the end of 2009 to the end of 2017, all but a few of them representing the first-generation model years of 2010 to 2017. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the carmaker will need to recall almost all, due to a problem with excessively bright headlight reflections. NHTSA takes issue with the fact that federal motor vehicle regulations stipulate how bright headlight reflections are allowed to be within a certain arc of the headlight beam axis. In a certain area of the arc, the Terrain throws two small spots of light that are about 450 to 470 candela strong where the legal maximum at that point is 125 candela — one candela being equivalent to the light from one candle. The NHTSA wants the headlights replaced for being close to four times over this reflective limit, alleging this can cause "glare to other motorists driving in proximity." GM discovered the noncompliance in 2019, then filed a notice of noncompliance that requested an exemption from having to recall the crossover. GM's counterpoint to NHTSA was that the two areas of illegality were 80 degrees outboard of the headlight and 45 degrees up. You'd have to be Slenderman or a giraffe standing on the side of the road Â— our words, not GM's Â— to be blinded by the light. The automaker hadn't heard of any incidents nor complaints over the issue. The only customer feedback GM received was a Terrain driver saying the "left headlamp seems to have a portion of the light that shines up in the trees at near a 45-degree angle." Note, that's the left headlight, so the tree in question would likely be on the other side of the road. GM said oncoming traffic wasn't impaired by the excessive brightness. Due to these these mitigating factors, GM asked for an exemption from recalling the Terrains.Â Â This week, NHTSA denied GM's petition.

2023 Detroit Auto Show Editors' Rankings

Fri, Sep 15 2023

The 2023 Detroit Auto Show was back in its traditional location, though in its fall spot in the calendar, and it was another pretty quiet event. By our count, only five new models, or model lines, were revealed and brought to the floor; all of which came from Detroit's own car companies. Still, some of them were quite significant, and the types were diverse. Naturally, we also had our favorites. So take a look to see how we ranked the reveals of the Detroit Auto Show. 2025 Cadillac CT5 View 15 Photos 5. 2025 Cadillac CT5 The refresh for the 2025 Cadillac CT5 is no great revelation, because it doesn’t have to be. An already solid, attractive design means only light tweaks were made to its appearance, and the new front fascia and redesigned lights just make the CT5 just that much more aggressive. So what was missing from the current model? Apparently, the answer was a gorgeous 33-inch curved LED display serving as both infotainment and instrument cluster. It has touchscreen capability to both the right and left sides of the steering wheel, and provides 9K resolution. Update some of the safety and driver assist tech, and Â— boom Â— the CT5 is properly modernized. Now bring on the updated Blackwing. Â–Senior Editor, Green, John Snyder 2024 Jeep Gladiator Live View 10 Photos 4. 2024 Jeep Gladiator Jeep carved out plenty of time for what is essentially a no-brainer mid-cycle refresh, but thereÂ’s one among us who is easily swayed: Me. I dumped the maximum number of points allotted on the 2024 Gladiator with only three words of explanation: "I like Jeeps." But this is kind of a big deal. The Gladiator pulled a lot of weight for Stellantis during the pandemic by providing an alternative to pickup buyers while Ram dealers were scraping the bottom of the supply barrel. To be fair, we're probably giving the Gladiator a bit of advance credit here for its promise to deliver a 4xe variant in 2025, but who else is talking about their PHEV pickup plans? Your move, Ford. Â–Associate Editor Byron Hurd. 2024 GMC Acadia AT4 View 17 Photos 3. 2024 GMC Acadia The 2024 GMC Acadia is the one reveal from this yearÂ’s Detroit Auto Show that was actually a totally new vehicle, and as far as three-row SUVs go, GMC aced it. The exterior has its own personality separate from its Chevrolet Traverse twin. Its AT4 trim is legit with more ground clearance, a torque-vectoring rear diff and sweet orange marker lights on the fenders.
