Used 1991 GMC Sonoma Syclone
Location:
Morgantown, PA
Description:
1991 GMC Syclone The GMC Syclone is a high-performance version of the GMC Sonomapickup. Produced in 1991 by GMC along with PAS - the same companycredited with building the famed 1989 Turbo Trans Am. The Sylconespawned the 1992-1993 GMC Typhoon based on the Jimmy platform andretaining the Syclone drivetrain. The Syclone was only available inblack. In total 2,998 Syclones were built. Ten were modified byLarry Shinoda, painted PPG Hot Licks red, and given away asMarlboro promotions. Despite a small but enthusiastic group of owners who have clungtogether like a secret band of brothers all these years, Sycloneshave recently seen a surge in interest and collectability. Eventhis group didn't anticipate the growth in interest and value.Today finding a stock, unmolested one-owner truck for sale is likefinding a unicorn...and that's what we have for consignment. Comingto our Hallowed Halls showing a mere 45,922 non verifiable miles asthe title reads exempt, and sporting its correct 4.3 literturbocharged V6 and classic good looks, it's time you step up yourmini-truck bucket list and do it in all wheel drive sinister blackstyle. ExteriorGM is known for their mediocre paint during this period and thisSyclone does not veer from the reputation. From ten feet, it isspectacular. Up close it does have a bit of hazing and orange peelbut with a truck this rare, it's more than acceptable. All claddingis in place...and these pieces are Syclone-specific andappropriately unpainted. All Syclone decals appear original and arein the right place, one clue that indicates the truck has not beenwrecked. The black vinyl tonneau is not original but very nice. Apeek under the bed cover shows a cargo area that hasn't seen muchcargo, (they had a 500-pound payload limit!); it has a few minorscuffs and plenty of dust, but otherwise nice. Machined and naturalfinish aluminum alloy wheels fill the wheel openings and arewrapped in 245/50R16 tires. As is mostly typical for a truck that'sbeen driven, some minor clear coat checking can be seen on thewheels. Imperfections in the body include some blemishes and scuffson the cladding and some bubbling above the wheel arches. InteriorWith a swing of the door, we are greeted with a blend of colors andmaterials; black cloth, charcoal carpeting, charcoal vinyl, andgray plastic. All of this holds the armrest, power window switch,and power lock switch. Bucket seats in black velour have a verywide tuck and roll insert pattern with long smooth bolsters. Redpiping breaks up the sea of black and Syclone is embroidered intothe headrests. These buckets flank a center console that holds anoversized storage compartment along with the gear selector,(borrowed from the Corvette), and a pair of cupholders that arebetter employed as earbud storage. A two-spoke, Syclone-specificleather wrapped ergonomic steering wheel fronts a rectangular panelthat holds the gauge layout, (borrowed from the Pontiac SunbirdTurbo of the era!). Headlight and HVAC controls flank this clusterand to the right is the factory AM/FM/Cassette player. A commondefect, the headliner is sagging but aftermarket companies producea "plug and play" replacement, (or the original can be fixed). DrivetrainCrammed into the engine bay is the now legendary 4.3L turbochargedV6. This engine is fed by EFI and has an air-to-water intercoolerfeeding chilled air through a throttle body and into theSyclone-engraved intake, (to save money, GM used the same manifoldin Typhoons!). All is complete under the hood while showing somepatina on the litany of hoses, wiring, and ducting. The crossflowair pipe over the radiator is a coveted piece of originality andit's nice to see it intact and in place. A 4L60E 4-speed automatic,also swiped from the Corvette, is on the back. This transmissionfeeds power through a Borg Warner 4472 transfer case and then tothe front and rear axles which weigh in at a 3.42 ratio withlimited slip. Yes, the Syclone is notably AWD with 65% going to theback, 35% front. UndercarriageFrame, axle, suspension parts all show some advanced surface rustas do the driveshafts, (both main and short). Independent coilspring suspension is up front and leaf springs are what softens theride along with the original Bilstein shocks, their yellow stillgleaming. The stock exhaust, another Syclone-specific and desirableremnant, appears to be in good shape. The pinion seal is leaking,but the oil pan is dry. Drive-AbilityKnown for their grip, Syclones from a "dig" are some of the mostimpressive vehicles ever to come out of GM. You'll have to take ourword for it because we babied the truck rather than engage in theinfamous "power braking" the SyTy crowd has mastered. The bucketseats are comfortable and the cabin itself is cozy. Accelerationwas good as we brought the truck into boost and then it snorts likea horse when you get off the gas as the wastegate expels pent upair. Those fat tires help with handling but the truck experiencessome yaw in turns, (again, the aftermarket is your friend andupgrades are available if that's the direction you want to go). Theautomatic transmission shifted firmly, especially 1-2, and allfunctions were working as they should, although the air blows warmand the rear brakes do stick when the brake pedal is released. Syclones are only getting more valuable and stock examples morerare. Here's a stock, drivable version, truck #2548 of 2,998 made.It's a compact little rocket now recognized as the grandfather ofsports trucks, no doubt lending inspiration to the Ford Lightning,Dodge SRT-10 and a myriad of other "fast" trucks. But none were asquick as the Syclone from a red light. 1GDCT14Z5M8802548 1-USAG-General MotorsD-GMCC-4001 To 5000 GVWRT-Small Conventional Cab 4X41-1/2 Ton4-2 DoorZ-4.3L V6 Turbo 280hp5-Check DigitM-19918-Shreveport, LA Assy Plant802548-Sequential Unit Number Classic Auto Mall is home to more than 1,000 classic andcollectible vehicles for sale via consignment in a climatecontrolled 336,000-square foot showroom (that's more than 8acres!).
