Vehicle Description
It's hard to find a better collector car from the 1990s than the
1991 GMC Syclone. It was a one-year-only turbocharged all-wheel
drive pickup with a serious midnight attitude. So to find one of
the few 2,995 examples ever, and for an affordable price, it really
delivers standout appeal.
GMC perfectly tapped into the premium/sporty truck world with a
factory light pickup that looked like a full custom machine. This
was a single-year run all done in black. GMC gave these a great
monotone look with the bumpers, grille, side mirrors, and
aggressive body kit finished in this midnight attitude. And that's
only heightened by the factory 16-inch alloys upgraded to the
blackout treatment. There are even more dark upgrades like the
black liner paint in the bed and Ventshade rain guards. This whole
package is so dark that the headlights are like glowing eyes even
when it's daytime.
Inside, the black velour bucket seats with cool red pinstriping
mimic the exterior blackout with red Syclone side badging. This
coordinates with the door panels, and it all has the fresh feeling
of a solid recent investment. These dual bucket seat combine with
the upgraded gauge package, center console, and a leather-wrapped
steering wheel to really turn this truck into a sports car. This
also has a ton of great features, like the factory AM/FM/CD stereo,
power locks, tilt wheel, cruise control, and provisions for power
windows. Plus, the air conditioning has been converted to R134a to
keep this hot-shot truck feeling cool.
What makes the Syclone a true classic is under the hood. The
4.3-liter motor in the Sonoma was upgraded to supercar status
thanks to a Mitsubishi turbocharger and Garrett intercooler.
Turning a beefy pickup into a muscle machine required more than
just boosting the motor. This fuel-injected powerplant was also
fortified to handle the extra power. Plus, the Borg Warner
all-wheel drive transfer case has a rear weight bias to give the
perfect balance between performance driving and superior grip. That
same balance is found in the four-speed automatic transmission that
can downshift for power and then return to overdrive cruising
comfort. Add in power steering, power brakes w/discs up front, ABS,
a limited-slip rear end, and Falken performance tires, and this is
the truck with all the right moves to take on the streets.
Complete with owner's manual, Syclones are a rare treat. So to find
one within reach is a fleeting opportunity. Call today!!!
