Always wanted a GMC Syclone

bad ass looking and very rare

one of the fastest (quickest, especially off the line) stock vehicles of 1991

never thought i'd want a pickup truck


maybe someday

Have never seen one of these. I do remember being a bit of a fan of the S-10 Extreme's back in the late 90s. Wouldn't have considered buying one, but had a friend with one and thought it was pretty cool.

Wow, very cool. I had no idea such a thing existed. Awesome! I read they built only about 2998 of them. I saw one at about $75k.

No they are not, our region hosts a Sy/Ty event where local Syclones and Typhoons gather in our area and we set up an event for them to have fun. From bone stock to fully built gutted, roll cage and R comps..

They were out performing the Corvette at the time. That's one of the reasons why they discontinued them..
