Description

Here is an excellent example of a rare GMC Syclone. Part of a private collection since 2010. This 1991 GMC Syclone was GMC's unique take of melding its Sonoma truck platform with a high-performance drivetrain that was inspired by the legendary 1987 Buick GNX. In this case, the V-6 engine measures out at 4.3 liters, versus the smaller 3.8L engine of the GNX. This powerplant puts out a raucous, turbocharged 280 HP to help propel the Syclone from 0-60 MPH in about 4 seconds, an astounding level of performance for any car in 1991, but quite simply in another universe for a truck. The special-edition LB4 engine features a Mitsubishi turbocharger, a Garrett intercooler and multi-point fuel injection. All Syclones were fitted with automatic transmissions, all-wheel-drive and anti-lock brakes. When it was produced the Syclone was literally the fastest factory pickup to be offered in the world. Its performance was such that it was compared to Corvettes and Ferraris. The pickup proved to be a great marketing success for GMC and was the driving influence behind the 1992-93 GMC Typhoon. As with most other Syclones, this one is black and features pronounced badging and a special black cloth interior with red piping accents. This truck is exceptionally clean for the miles and has been very well cared for. www.kuyothbody.com Email kuyothent@gmail.com or call 715-687-4522
