THIS IS A VERY RARE GARNET RED 1993 GMC TYPHOON IT IS FAST AND IT HAS LOW MILEAGE RARE COLLECTIBLE IN GREAT CONDITION This is a very rare car. It is 1 of 19 garnet red GMC Typhoons produced in 1993. Garnet Red was available only in 1993. This is an unmolested car which is in great condition inside and out and it runs and shifts perfectly. The original roof rack is now installed on the car. This is a non-modified car except for a K&N filter, color matched upper IC cover and hood struts. No rust on this car. I am selling some of my cars from my collection and two of my Typhoons are for sale at this time. I bought this garnet red from another Typhoon collector at the beginning of 2012. Since then I have driven this car in less than 5 occasions. It drove very well and I had no issues with the car. It is a very fun car to drive and it is very comfortable to drive. It is not very large but surprisingly it is very comfortable for a big person as well. The car is fast and speeds up like a bullet. Because of its rarity it is sure to go up in value as the years go by and less and less of these wonderful cars are available. 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 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 GM 700R4 transmission (4L60) 4-speed automatic transmission and aBorg 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 dynamopmeter. 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. 1992Black w/ Black (1262 Total) Black w/ Gray (130 Total) Frost White w/ Gray (518 Total) Apple Red w/ Gray (345 Total) Bright Teal w/ Gray (132 Total) Forest Green Metallic w/ Gray (82 Total) Aspen Blue w/ Gray (28 Total) Radar Blue w/ Radar Blue (2 Total**) Raspberry Metallic w/ Raspberry Metallic (2 Total**) (**These 4 Test Colors are included in the totals of the seven original color combinations) 1993Black w/ Black (1,008 Total) Black w/ Gray (98 Total) Frost White w/ White (532 Total***) Frost White w/ Gray (115 Total) Apple Red w/ Apple Red (77 Total) Apple Red w/ Gray (101 Total) Forest Green Metallic w/ Gray (210 Total) Garnet Red w/ Gray (24 Total) Royal Blue Metallic w/ Gray (35 Total***) (***Each total includes 1 Radar Blue w/ Radar Blue, for total of 2 Trucks) This is a very rare car and it has low mileage. The car is in good condition. Based on all that, I am putting a real buy-it-now price here. The price I am looking for is very close to the buy-it-now price. However, my reserve is lower than the buy it now price. So, good luck bidding and thank you.
