Vehicle Description
Over the past seven decades, General Motors has proven itself a
global juggernaut. The company literally OWNED the '50s and '60s,
and no matter how much corporate bean counters tried to quell its
spirit of performance, true gearheads ALWAYS kept the flame lit. We
aren't talking about Corvettes or the incredible Cadillac V-Series.
We're talking about offerings that are fast, fun and highly
attainable. All black, all business and packed with Professional
Grade performance hardware, this fully documented, low-mileage
Syclone backs a turbocharged V6 with factory all-wheel drive and a
tuned sport suspension. And if you're an enlightened enthusiast who
errs on the side of utilitarian, it's an incredible pickup that
doubles as an incredible classic!
ALL BUSINESS
Feeling especially whimsical, and privy to leftover parts from its
empire of mass transportation, GM set the automotive marketplace on
its ear with the curve ball known as the 1991 Syclone. But
unfortunately, the corporation's own bureaucracy killed the
world-beating truck almost as fast as it hit dealerships, limiting
production to just 2,995 units. Perhaps the most meticulously
documented Syclone we've ever sold, this exceptional beast is a
10,854-mile time capsule that, according to the folks at CarFax,
has lived its 31-year life free of any damage or accident repairs.
Solid factory sheetmetal reflects a wet-looking coat of original GM
code 19 Black, which centers straight planes in crisp lines and
even gaps. And great looking, factory-correct aero plays well with
a tight factory tonneau cover.
TURBO PIONEER
GM's stalwart 4300 V6 has, through a myriad of engineering changes,
anchored the company's truck line for close to 40 years. For
Syclone duty, the LB4 4300 saw significant mechanical upgrades.
Better pistons and better breathing intake and exhaust manifolds
joined a Mitsubishi TD06-17C turbocharger, a Garrett water/air
intercooler and a 48mm twin-bore throttle body that was borrowed
from Chevrolet's 5.7 liter V8. All those carefully calculated
tweaks and improvements added up to a very impressive 280
horsepower and 350 lb./ft. of V8-slaying torque. And that meant the
truck's strip-scorching times would not only best GM's own Camaro
and Corvette, but also catapult it to the forefront of 1990s
performance! Mechanically, everything, from this GMC's dry oil pan
to its pliable air tube, is clean, lean and largely weather-free.
And one glance at our high-resolution photos is all it takes to see
that the truck has been meticulously maintained by loving
enthusiasts.
STYLE AND SUBSTANCE
With that kind of power on tap, it should come as no surprise that
GM equipped the bottom of this pickup with a host of noteworthy
upgrades. Behind the raucous engine, a reliable 4L60 automatic
makes the most of a factory 10-bolt that's finished with a
limited-slip differential and sporty, 3.42 gears. That gearbox
twists torque to BorgWarner all-wheel drive, which sends 35% of its
power to the front wheels. Speaking of front wheels, this truck's
massive meats are pointed by factory power steering. Speaking of
power-assist, the truck's power-assisted brake system is one of the
first to be fully accompanied by standard anti-lock technology. At
the center of the tuned sport suspension, factory-spec
single-into-dual pipes hang Dynomax Super Turbo mufflers behind a
conservative catalytic converter. And power meets the pavement
through handsome factory alloys, which spin original 245/50ZR16
Firestone Firehawk SVXs around red "GMC" logos.
SIMPLE IS GOOD
Inside this awesome street bruiser, you'll find a correct Gray and
Black interior that's virtually spotless. Typical GMC fashion
dictates more comfort than sport, but then, that's what GM's
premium truck brand has increasingly gravitated toward. And
naturally, that means this Syclone is loaded with all the features
you'd expect including power windows, power locks, climate control,
Cruise Control and a tilt steering wheel. In front of that wheel,
red-piped factory buckets are cushy and comfortable. Opposite those
seats, factory-spec, Pontiac-sourced gauges inhabit a blocky dash
that's finished with optional Delco audio. And below that dash,
"GM" branded floor mats frame a small console and simple factory
shifter.
Nobody scoffs at GMC's Syclone and Typhoon. Thanks to their
Professional Grade DNA, and an ability to whip pretty much any
street challenger, the trucks get big respect and much admiration.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab this brutish compact and enjoy
one of the coolest classics on the planet!
