Don't buy your next car without a detailed vehicle report from CarVertical that will list any theft, accident, insurance, and maintenance issues with the car or truck you want to purchase. All you need is the car's VIN. Reports start at the low, low price of $9.99! www.carvertical.com/landing/v3?a=TFL&b=2c9b600c
I'm a die hard Ford guy but this is still one of my favorite vehicles of all time next to the Buick Grand National. I got a chance to drive one of these when I worked for a GMC dealer back in 1994 and it impressed the hell out of me! Loved them ever since. They need to bring this vehicle back!
Nothing stock could touch this car/truck back in the day in my area. All the mustangs 5.0 and Camaros, Corvettes, 300zx TT, 3000GT VR4, Supra turbo, RX-7 r1 and r2....... nothing.
RamblinRAM - yeah, crossover asa term for vehicles didn’t exist back then. The Typhoon is a SUV, “heavy on the sport!” Haha. When these first came out, I wanted one so bad! I live on 15 miles of gravel road, that truck or SUV would have never lasted. Maybe I can find one for my new collection, after the farm sells,,,,,,,, hmmmm
blackericdenice - I just sold my collection of 14 classic used trucks, my herd of 550 purebred Limousine range cows and 11 purebred bulls. 425 calves, and my farm, all but 125 acres, the other 1380 aces are for sale, all equipment valued at just under 1 million. So I can retire. I could afford one. The frame and all wheel drive etc, it would last that way. The gravel, itself would chew the tires to pieces and those tires would nave been much worse. There would not be a single drop of protection underneath from the gravel. The suspension would have required a pretty constant level of maintenance. The suspension was much different from the regular S10. The S10 was, in regular form, a piece of crap. I could go on, but don’t have to. Go troll someone else now.
Watched Typhoons for many years and finally got one almost 2 years ago. Love it and rare and always getting stopped to talk about it, almost as much as my Grand National. You dont see Syclones at all and this one is a very nice and clean example of taking care of timeless rare muscle truck. I have both sides of those rear pieces if he wants them. I bought them not realizing the syclone is a bit longer than the Typhoon and yes they are very rare and costly.
Thanks goodness this wasn't another Jeep! Love the Typhoon and Cyclones. I have an 86 S10 Blazer, had for 30 years, it's like a member of the family at this point.
Had a friend in 2003 that had a Syclone, he fabric wrapped the bed. Installed a stereo system, NOS, and an even bigger turbo, among other mods, he would race street bikes and exotics with it.
Love the truck! $12,000 is a steal of a deal. This truck is a show stopper and can easily make a grand a night at any local drag strip in America. And no it is not a car, where do you get off saying that? The S-10 was never called a car. It is still smoking fast, has there been a faster truck to date? NO! Anybody out there remember the predecessor to this truck? The Dodge Dakota Shelby small pickup?
@Mitch09 people don't listen or pay attention. Like when they test vehicles offroad in the snow and ice starting the test them ss they get them. And what's the first comment. Should've used snow tires when they've stated at the video they test them
actually the interior is more reflecting of the late 80's than the 90's this boxy look is the first gen body and interior that was for most of the 80's. Also comparing the body of these s10 to modern trucks these trucks when you do not have the turbo and can hall things, are so usable in dimentions. You can reach over into the bed of the truck to load and unload things. in modern trucks everything is so high off the ground and the bed of the truck has massive tall sides so you need all those steps to be tall enough to get in and out or reach in and out. Same with the old toyotas and nissan small trucks. Small trucks rock.
To add to that I'm pretty shocked at how well the G-body GM's aged. They looked out of place in the 90's but seeing them now (those in good condition) the cars were well-styled and far from the stupid jelly-bean approach of modern cars.
What a great truck! I remember the first time I saw one and how great it looked then. It was May of 1991 and my Mom and Dad brought me to a GMC dealer with them and we ended up driving away with a 1991 GMC Sierra but in the showroom of this dealership was a GMC Syclone. To my 11 year old self, it looked incredible!
I hope GM finds a true performance again as in street NOT raptor or trx ram they are offroad. I want drag & track performance which in terms of the 6.2L it beats a lot of them but a factory Supercharged SS Silverado/Sierra Supercharged HO version would be awesome.
SOLAR SS I agree, long overdue. chevy 454SS Ram SRT10 Ford Lightning and Tremor gmc SyTy would really like to see this segment return. definitely would buy one.
I was a young man when these came out. My Dad has always been into cars and I went with him as he looked at & and test drove one of the first ones in the Portland metro area. Because it’s a two seater, I didn’t get to go on the test drive. Dad came back with a big grin on his face. He said that he accidentally roasted the tires just trying to pull out of the parking lot onto a kind of busy street. He was super apologetic to the salesman, who just laughed and said they had all accidentally spun the tires. Dad didn’t end up buying one, but I’ve always loved these. I also remember that at the time, one of the major car car magazines did a funny article comparing the Cyclone to a new Ferrari. The Cyclone beat it in almost every category including number of kegs they could each carry. Awesome truck, thanks to the owner for sharing and thanks to TFL for providing the video!
I bought one ,brand new drove it off showroom floor , the dealership wouldn't let anyone test drive it . It was fast and would handle great. I use to kill Corvettes and Buick GN with it . they never knew what hit them
I was getting ready to say this, you sir are my hero. Single turbo = single exhaust, doesn't matter if you have a dual tip, there is still only one downpipe.
@@silverbackc1011 yep, dual exhaust is pretty much for show anymore. My 07 Outback has dual exhaust from factory...also just split. My 7.3 Powerstroke with way more displacement is plenty happy with a single exhaust (from a single turbo!).
"surprise factor, people not knowing what they're next to, ya know" is a problem for me, because anyone who doesn't know what this is, probably isn't looking to race anyways. And pulling away from someone who doesn't know cars doesn't count. They don't care. Anyone who cares knows exactly what this is.
Somebody near me in the UK had one of those pretty much from new in the early '90s and it was an absolute hoot watching him turning out of our road, on to pretty busy main road, It would just pull away and then suddenly climb on boost, when it would quite happily light up all 4 tyres. Even in the early '90s there weren't many 4-wheel drive vehicles that would do that, and NONE of them came with an auto box...
I’m the same age as Roman (sad times) and I remember that all the Buick V6 Turbo vehicles and their derivatives were a glimmer of hope for GM at the time. Pretty sure they first stuck it in the big LaSabre coupe. The late 70’s and all of the ‘80’s were truly depressing times for domestic autos. Thank you Federal Gov’t and Kalifornia.
I had an 87 Grand National. Couldn't get over that 85 MPH speedometer they put in it! Being a Pontiac guy, I ended up ordering a 1989 Turbo Transam which I still have to this day. Not sure which car was faster. To me they were about equal.
I've always been a Ford guy.. back in my teenage years in the 90s I wanted a syclone pickup. I ended up buying a 93 Mustang GT and really really liked that car.
great point about US and large trucks, we spent over a year in Central America, 4x4 was a necessity but large was not, they just dont have the roads to support extra-large SUV/pickups, its a great privilege to drive them on great roads
It sat for almost 30 days on my local craigslist. I think the miles scared people away. He was asking 13,500 and when I asked if he had wiggle room, he said 12 was his lowest. I didnt argue.
I really like the size of this truck. I had a Comanche that felt just right. I don't understand the desire for vehicles the size of all modern trucks. I'd really like Jeep to build a two door Gladiator.
When the grand national got scrapped GMC took some of the guys to work on their new performance truck. So they used what they knew from the grand national but went with the 4.3 instead of 3.8. Used the front diff and trans from the awd GMC safari van and some gauges from the Pontiac sunbird.
I have a B&M shift kit in my 1991 GMC C1500 single cab step side. It barks the tires into 2nd gear almost every time. I honestly wish I would have put the stage 1 spring in the valve body instead of the stage 2 solid space for the 1-2 accumulator because it's a bit much even at light throttle in a parking lot. If I ever drop the valve body out again I'm swapping the spring. 2-3 shift is firm and perfect.
I always loved these trucks, had a model of one when I was about 9 or 10 and was always drawn to them since. Only seen 1 or 2 in my years but very very cool trucks.
Don Leamon before Ford n GM stop manufacturing they were top two heroes fighting for top position with great local build cars like F6 Typhoon n HSV GTS with ute version been very popular. Ford was smart and came out with new Ranger n had great SUV but GM Holden fall apart with poor quality n customer servicing on their Captiva SUV. The once reliable Holden Rodeo or now Colorado had few issues but with updates it starting to gain traction in sales. GM SUV need works done to it if going a place in market not rebadged with high fuel mpg n price tag is not helping. There small cars are losing ground because they come from Korea not Europe and with loss of European built cars I reckon this is nail in coffin for GM unless they going build great small cars, SUV from USA with RHD truck off manufacturing floor only this save GM. I reckon FCA learning this moment all need is time and might replace slow GM. There was talk of Holden been sold through PSA which sell Peugeot. But gone are days of great RWD cars n utes that there still a neèd for in Australia not everyone wants SUV or truck to get around in Australia.
It’s amazing how little GMs switchgear and instrumentation has evolved in 30 years. I’d be willing to bet that if you look at a current model GM product five years from now, the painted on bezel and switch color will be flaking off.
I was thinking the same thing. Been watching the prices on AutoTrader and eBay lately... just like the GN they are priced too high for me to pick up as a toy. I don't know if you can finance one this old.
Scott Long Yep, the exact same thing happened with GN’s/T Types.. even 10 years ago, you could find a decent Buick for 10k, now it’s virtually impossible. Guys are trying to sell 85 GN’s for 20k and those are horrible. Looking at Syclones, it seems like 25k is the avg for something in this condition. Typhoons are a tad cheaper, but even those are becoming hard to find without breaking the bank. I would love to have either a Syclone or Buick soon, but it’s getting crazy. I’m currently looking at Sonoma GT’s which I love as well, I’ll be happy with one of those and toss a supercharger on that 4.3 and save 10k.
Yeah i didnt hesitate to buy it when I came across it. Guy stored it indoors and took immaculate care of it. The mileage didnt bother me with the condition it was in.
Because the grand national is a g-body and chick hicks is based on the g-body. G-body is 80s Chevy Monte Carlo, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Buick Regal(which is the Grand Nationals base platform), and Pontian Grand Prix.
Very cool! I’ve only seen one in person. Outside an O’Reillys. Wish the big 3 would make cool street trucks. Raptor is cool but I don’t off-road and would like a 4 door street truck. Just a bed for easy homepdopot runs, trowing my bikes in the back, and camping gear. Give me lighting and ss and cyclone etc of 2019! That would be cool.
I have an 06 Silverado SS 6.0 and it still has the same downshift issue lol it could go down 1 more but it usually doesn't...still a fun truck and it can haul weight. Great video I remember when they came out, I was thinking buy and store it for 12K in 19 glad I didnt lol
Model year on my Syclone was late 1990 so technically they made them for over a year. Wish I had it now knowing it was 1 of only a few hundred sold in 90.
As far as I know, the Syclone, 25 years later, is still the quickest production truck ever made, and it was the quickest through 0-60 and the quarter mile of any mass production vehicle at the time.
Why would you say it’s like a car because of the cargo rating? There’s SUV’s that are considered trucks because they’re body on frame and use truck frames...I guess a lot of non car people will call suvs and pickups cars. 🤷♂️
i like the 90's performance cars. I've looked at these they cost so much as much as they did new, I prefer the typhoon suv version this one is a truck that cant be used as a truck but, its cool
I've said on my channel GM needs to turn the 4x4 canyon into a new syclone using the new turbo 4cyl from the Silverado. Use the selectable rear lockable axle from the zr2, dssv shocks from the Camaro and turn the 4 cyl to spool the turbo and injectors for performance.

I am also a huge ford fan, but I own a syclone lol
I have been lucky enough to play with a 5.0 Ranger. And building 3 v8 s10s if u ever get to drive a v8 ranger do it
Chevy should have made the xtreme all wheel drive and turbo like this truck
A dream truck of mine. The Syclone was the thing back in the early nineties, so was the Typhoon.
Agree 👍

Guy says how he cleans it once a year and Roman touches every part of it. Lol
Especially the glass/plastic in front of the gauge cluster made me cringe...
Yeah i saw him putting finger prints on everything and thought "wtf are you doing bro"??
Lol, I know it wasn’t on purpose, but it was funny..
Don’t forget mashing the hood shut! Yikes! I could smell the palm sized dents in that flat hood surface.
As a owner of black vehicles, all I’m thinking is finger prints.
Why do you call the Typhoon a crossover?? It’s body on frame! Love these old performance GM models though!

Let's be real if GM did something like this now it would sale like crazy. I wouldn't mind a HP race with trucks as well.
I bet he's going crazy in his head everytime the paint is getting touched! The hood closing was hilarious...
The Syclone and the GNX are the greatest things GM ever made
4.3L non turbo was a really good engine back then.
Thanks goodness this wasn't another Jeep! Love the Typhoon and Cyclones. I have an 86 S10 Blazer, had for 30 years, it's like a member of the family at this point.
Truck looks great for 100k+ (btw, body kit is called cladding on these trucks. Shout out to SyTy registry on FB!)

V6 + single turbo = single exhaust. Unless they only feed the turbo from one bank or it's twin turbo...it's not dual exhaust .
Exactly. Those dual pipes are NOT coming off each cylinder bank, because both banks are siamesed into that big ol' turbo.

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS TRUCK ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL!
I raced one in my grand national and it was a good race back in early 2000
Those s10/s15 trucks are like mini square bodies. Beautiful trucks. The syclone was and still is a head turner.
Got to drive one of these at a GM pre-production intro event, back in 1990. Was the coolest vehicle I ever drove well into the 2000's.

Guys are trying to sell 85 GN’s for 20k and those are horrible. Looking at Syclones, it seems like 25k is the avg for something in this condition. Typhoons are a tad cheaper, but even those are becoming hard to find without breaking the bank. I would love to have either a Syclone or Buick soon, but it’s getting crazy. I’m currently looking at Sonoma GT’s which I love as well, I’ll be happy with one of those and toss a supercharger on that 4.3 and save 10k.
Yeah i didnt hesitate to buy it when I came across it. Guy stored it indoors and took immaculate care of it. The mileage didnt bother me with the condition it was in.
FatKidsLeaveTheHouse Beautiful truck. I would have jumped all over it at that price as well.
@@aaronbrown4366 Thank you sir! People thought I was crazy but who's laughing now? LOL
You need to get a Dakota R/T in for a review
they should have built many more of these.
Well, more people should've bought em back then.
always wanted one of these
You asked him what’s unique about the interior and he missed something. The gauge cluster is from a Sunbird GT.
When Roman pushed the hood down I almost passed out. My 335i hood woulda touched the radiator. 😂
I love these syclones. Typhoon too.
Still own my Typhoon to date. But I love the Garage 😍 Soo clean!!
I would love to see GM build these little bullets again, it would give the raptor a run for it's money and what a fun little ride.
Definitely to test drives on this series!!!
Great classic for a great price. Back when GM had the balls to think outside the box! Roman is right,someone needs to bring back the small pick up.
Love those trucks. Want to throw up when I look at the new gm is making.
If you wanna see something cool look up top gear testing this back in the day and they are at a drag strip
12:53 The Grand National Kinda Looks Like Chick Hicks And Cars & Cars 3 Movies With The High TakeOver Bank 86 Number
Wtf?
Because the grand national is a g-body and chick hicks is based on the g-body. G-body is 80s Chevy Monte Carlo, Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Buick Regal(which is the Grand Nationals base platform), and Pontian Grand Prix.
Very cool! I’ve only seen one in person. Outside an O’Reillys. Wish the big 3 would make cool street trucks. Raptor is cool but I don’t off-road and would like a 4 door street truck. Just a bed for easy homepdopot runs, trowing my bikes in the back, and camping gear. Give me lighting and ss and cyclone etc of 2019! That would be cool.
I had one , it was so fast 0-60 . I got rid of it because it was stolen and totaled . I miss it a lot.
Love those trucks. Those gauges were borrowed from the Pontiac Sunbird GT.
I have an 06 Silverado SS 6.0 and it still has the same downshift issue lol it could go down 1 more but it usually doesn't...still a fun truck and it can haul weight. Great video I remember when they came out, I was thinking buy and store it for 12K in 19 glad I didnt lol
Model year on my Syclone was late 1990 so technically they made them for over a year. Wish I had it now knowing it was 1 of only a few hundred sold in 90.
As far as I know, the Syclone, 25 years later, is still the quickest production truck ever made, and it was the quickest through 0-60 and the quarter mile of any mass production vehicle at the time.
I would like to see how a single turbo truck has true dual exhaust.
Time to buy a replacement mph gauge it will fit in my Sunbird 😎
I love my Typoon fast as hell
Why would you say it’s like a car because of the cargo rating? There’s SUV’s that are considered trucks because they’re body on frame and use truck frames...I guess a lot of non car people will call suvs and pickups cars. 🤷♂️
i like the 90's performance cars. I've looked at these they cost so much as much as they did new, I prefer the typhoon suv version this one is a truck that cant be used as a truck but, its cool
Oh how I want one of these so bad.
The story on these is pretty interesting.
Chevy turned the idea down. GMC said hell yea! Let’s do it.
Love the truck built 3 v8 s10s one was a blazer when the v8 swap boom came in on the s10s and rangers
Dream car right here.
15:56 Go To Dayonta Race And Get Racing Truck And That's Puts You Power In It
You guys forgot about the 89 Turbo Trans Am....otherwise great video as always ;)
I've said on my channel GM needs to turn the 4x4 canyon into a new syclone using the new turbo 4cyl from the Silverado. Use the selectable rear lockable axle from the zr2, dssv shocks from the Camaro and turn the 4 cyl to spool the turbo and injectors for performance.
There is an aftermarket company making them Something like a roush
@@mauricecooper176 i saw that somewhere. I think they are supercharging the 3.6?
@@BigFrogs4x4 Yes a Supercharged V6
big turbo ? that thing is a tiny 48.5mm with an 8cm exhaust side .....choke
just build one to "beat up" on. any s10/s15 4x4 chassis, 4472 transfer case or np149 with 80e and ls turbo build. pretty easy.
I wish that I would have had Locks on my center hub caps on my 1997 Chevy Silverado, all 4 were stolen one night when truck was about one year old...
I miss mine. To this day it's my favorite vehicle I've ever owned.
