It seems rare to find anyone that even knows what the Syclone or Typhoon were...

The local GM dealer got in one way back then. It was a big hit, a lot looked at at but they never could get a chance to drive it. The dealership would not allow it!

Well I did get a test drive. I showed up in my show quality 454SS pickup truck and told them I was interested in doing business. I liked the truck but the dealership wanted a kings ransom for their truck and a insulting amount for my truck so I went home in my 454SS.

Mine was a 91 that I bought late in 1990. Did a lot to it, mostly just looks. Took its class at trucks at Carlisle!

Had it till I bought my 98 Vette Vert and as I was not driving it much went to sell it a couple years later Unfornituely my son wanted it so i gave him a super good family price.

He had it till about 2014 and then sold it to a "Hot Car Dealer" dealer at a decent price The kid that bought it from the dealer beat the living shit out of it and in a few months made it a total POS. Then it disappeared and nether me, my son or any of our good friends ever saw it again.

The last couple years they took off. I watch the auctions on TV. One like mine went for over 30 large.

When we had it the truck was super clean, my kid worked PT for a well respected detail shop in our area and was good at it!
