Hello Everyone! The story first. Take a deep breath and hang on. My father in-law purchased this truck brand new from a GM dealer in the Kansas City area. At the time, he loved playing with cars...he also had a tiny car dealership in Missouri. Because of his dealership, he did not have to register this Syclone with the state of Missouri. When he wanted to drive the truck he just put his "D" tag on it and drove away. As an official licensed dealer, a dealer can own, buy and sell cars without ever having to title any vehicle. When any BRAND NEW vehicle is sold by a NEW car dealer...there is a title from the factory that is issued...the factory title is called the M.S.O. Title. MSO stands for MANUFACTURES STATEMENT OF ORIGIN. It means that the manufacturer STATES that they made it NEW and that it has NEVER been titled but TRANSFERED to an entity. (example: dealer, other manufacturer to modify, or to a financial holding company) This does two main things it clearly states that the item is NEW and has NOT been titled before, but shows legal ownership. It allows the sale or transfer without titling. Once an item is "titled" to an owner they have PURCHASED it to OWN. THIS TRUCK IS STILL LEGALLY SITTING ON THE MSO!!!! Now all that being said...advance 20 years later. I also love to play with cars. So I too have a dealers license. My father in-law decided to sell this truck...my wife was sad to hear that he did not want this truck anymore. So as a surprise to her I purchased the truck and gave it to her for our anniversary. Naturally we transferred the MSO title in to my dealership. Now each time my wife and I wanted to drive this truck we just placed a d-tag on it and drove away. The time has come to sell her 1991 G.M.C. Syclone. So whoever buys this truck will be the FIRST official owner. No joke...this truck is still considered BRAND NEW!! Now for the basic description... 100% Original, never modified or raced! Power steering, power brakes, automatic transmission, ice cold a/c, power windows and locks, cruise control, all wheel drive (similar to a 4x4), this truck is fully loaded. It still has the brand new car smell! This truck has only 7,615 original miles. Naturally always garage kept. Only driven on perfect days. Never seen a rain drop. NEVER been smoked in. Ladies and gentlemen, I challenge you to find a better truck with this low mileage. My reserve is 20K, buy it now for 25K. Now for the advanced information about the 1991 Syclone... The GMC Syclone is a high-performance version of the GMC Sonoma pickup truck. Produced in 1991, the Syclone spawned the similarly powered 1992-1993 GMC Typhoon SUV. Another vehicle, the GMC Sonoma GT, offered less performance but was seen as a companion model. At the time it was introduced, the Syclone was the quickest stock pickup truck being produced in the world. Auto magazines compared its acceleration favorably to a variety of sports cars including the Corvette and - in a memorable comparison test in Car and Driver magazine - a Ferrari. Featuring a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine, all wheel drive, and 4 wheel anti-lock brakes, the specifications had more in common with a Porsche than most other pickup trucks. Both the 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 engine with unique pistons, main caps, head gaskets, 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 4-speed automatic transmission. A Borg Warner all wheel drive transfer case split torque with 35% forward and 65% to the rear wheels. Both trucks featured sport modifications to the standard suspensions. The Syclone was the first production truck to receive a 4 wheel anti-lock braking system. Output was 280 hp (209 kW)and 350 lb·ft (475 N·m) The Syclone, when new, was capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in 4.3 seconds and could do a quarter-mile run in 13.6 seconds at 93 mph (150 km/h) according to Car & Driver's comparison test. In 1991 Syclones were available in black only. 1992 models were to be offered in a wider range of colors before they were canceled. 2995 Syclones were built in 1991, and 3 in 1992. 113 (estimated 31 returned) were reported as Export Sales including a subset now referred to as the Saudi Syclones — a small number were delivered to Saudi Arabia and modified with a metric dash cluster, leaded fuel chip, and a resonator in place of the catalytic converter. The Syclone, Typhoon, and Sonoma GT were built for GMC by Production Automotive Services of Troy, Michigan and sold through dealerships. The Syclone and Typhoon's gauge cluster is the one used in the Pontiac Sunbird Turbo, which was discontinued in 1990, one year before the Syclone was introduced.
