THIS IS A NO RESERVE LISTING.

This is my 1992 GMC Typhoon with 27,957 original miles.  This is one of the cleanest, most original Typhoons in the country, and it is no doubt one of the best-quality Typhoon trucks for sale in the country.

This Typhoon is a pristine, museum-quality collector's vehicle in totally stock, unmodified condition.  If you have been looking for that "perfect" Typhoon, this is the one. 

This is a two-owner vehicle since new, and this Typhoon has been owned by the same person for the past 20 years.  During that time, the car was always garaged and covered.  This truck has not seen rain, snow or salt in at least the last 20 years.

This is the proverbial "park it in the garage and rub it with a diaper" car.  You could not hope to find a cleaner, more original or better condition Typhoon anywhere.

The GMC Typhoon is a very rare ultra high-performance vehicle built by GM in the early 1990s.  This truck features the 4.3L V6 with a turbocharger plus AWD.  Horsepower was rated at 280 at the time, which was less than the actual output of over 300HP.  These Typhoons would go 0-60 in 5.3 seconds in an era when Ferraris couldn't even keep up. 

Only 4697 Typhoons were produced in total, for model years 1992 and 1993 only.  In 1992, only 345 of them were made in this color, Apple Red. 

Typhoons were luxurious as well as fast, and this one has leather seats, AWD, automatic transmission, A/C, factory AM/FM CD player, keyless entry plus power locks and windows. 

I have the original books and manuals for this Typhoon plus two sets of keys.

The paint and body are absolutely gorgeous.  The paint is all original and it is in superb condition with no oxidation or fading.  There is absolutely no body rust.  The paint and body are so superb, you can hardly believe this car is 20 years old.  The paint is glossy, shiny and there is no wear, sun-fade, nor any exterior faults of any significance.

The factory aluminum wheels are in beautiful condition, and the truck has the correct Firestone Firehawk SVX tires with good tread.

The interior of this Typhoon still has the new car smell- really.  The interior shows NO wear- the leather is superb, the carpets and upholstery look new and the entire interior looks like the day it was made.  This an impossibly gorgeous and clean interior.  All of the switches, controls and plastics are tight and still feel and look like they did when they were new. 

This Typhoon starts, runs and drives exactly how it should- which is just like new.  This truck is totally stock and not modified in any way.  It is exactly the way it was built by GM.  It runs and drives beautifully and if you wanted, there is no reason you couldn't drive this truck anywhere in the country.

The underside of this GMC is spotless- it is totally clean, solid and in beautiful condition. 

This is a superb, collector's quality example of a rare vehicle- this Typhoon will never be worth less than it is today, and it will always continue to appreciate in value. 

If you want to truly "nit-pick" a car this nice, here is what you will find: there are a few nearly imperceptible tiny dings on the side from "garage wear".  The driver's seat outside bolster foam is very slightly flattened.  And the left front plastic fender cladding is just the tiniest bit loose and vibrates slightly- this very minor vibration has worn the paint beneath the plastic trim.  These are exceedingly minor faults to find on a car this pristine. 

This Typhoon belongs in a GM museum or a private car collection.  This is just an amazing car in every respect.

Detroit 3 to implement delayed unified towing standards for 2015

Mon, 10 Feb 2014

Car buyers have a responsibility to be well-informed consumers. That's not always a very simple task, but some guidelines are self-evident. If you live in a very snowy climate, you generally know a Ford Mustang or Chevrolet Camaro might not be as viable a vehicle choice as an all-wheel drive Explorer or Traverse, for example. If you want a fuel-efficient car, it's generally a good idea to know the difference between a diesel and a hybrid. But what if it's kind of tough to be an informed consumer? What if the information you need is more difficult to come by, or worse, based on different standards for each vehicle? Well, in that case, you might be a truck shopper.
For years, customers of light-duty pickups have had to suffer through different ratings of towing capacities for each brand. For 2015 model year trucks, though, that will no longer be a problem. According to Automotive News, General Motors, Ford and Chrysler Group have announced that starting with next year's models, a common standard will be used to measure towing capacity. The Detroit Three will join Toyota, which adopted the Society of Automotive Engineers' so-called SAE J2807 standards way back in 2011.
The standard was originally supposed to be in place for MY2013, but concerns that it would lower the overall stated capacity for trucks led Detroit automakers to pass. Ford originally passed, claiming it'd wait until its new F-150 was launched to adopt the new standards, leading GM and Ram to follow suit. Nissan, meanwhile, has said it will adopt the new standards as its vehicles are updated, meaning the company's next-generation Titan should adhere to the same tow ratings as its competitors.

GM to unveil new SUVs at the State Fair of Texas?

Wed, 07 Aug 2013

With General Motors just having rolled out its new fullsize truck twins - the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra - for 2014, now it seems to be time to focus on its big SUVs. The Truth About Cars is reporting that the 2015 Chevy Tahoe/Suburban and 2015 GMC Yukon lineup will be making their debuts later next month at the State Fair of Texas, which kicks off on September 27.
To date, we've only seen spy shots of the new Chevy and GMC SUVs (shown above in Yukon XL guise). Based on those spies both trucks seem to be taking a different styling direction than their pickup truck counterparts - just check out the Ford-looking headlight design on the next-gen Chevys.
We reached out to GM for comment and heard back simply that there is no official announcement about the new Tahoe, Suburban and Yukon. Still, the report definitely makes a solid leap of logic, as Texas is a top market for GM's fullsize SUV lineup. It also appears that GM is still planning a separate launch for the next-gen Cadillac Escalade.

GM recall woes continue with 662,000 pickups trucks and Cruze sedans

Sat, 29 Mar 2014

General Motors can't seem to get its name out of the "bad news" column. Two more recalls were announced late Friday evening that will see The General calling in 490,200 fullsize pickup trucks and SUVs, along with 172,000 Chevrolet Cruze models.
For those keeping track, General Motors has issued recalls for an alarming 4.8 million vehicles so far since last month.
The Chevy Silverado 1500, Tahoe and Suburban, GMC Sierra 1500 and Yukon models from the 2014 and 2015 model years are being recalled for a flaw in their transmissions wherein loose oil cooler lines may cause a fire. The automaker said in a statement (see below) that it knows of three incidents of loose transmission lines causing problems, but no injuries. We can't confirm whether it was this transmission issue that caused the widely publicized blaze that consumed a 2015 GMC Yukon that was being test driven in California.
