My uncle has one of these; he had a Syclone and wanted more space so traded for the Typhoon a year later - last time I saw it, it was in a heated garage on jack stands to keep the tires off the ground. I would think it probably has less than 10k miles on it. He was a Corvette and El Camino guy back in the day, but his daily driver is still a 1993 454 SS.

They made the different body style, and used a lambo engine. Went to shit from there.

I love this so much. Reminds me of the Trailblazer SS. So much fun driving a small SUV with awd and enough power to beat most cars at a spot light. No one ever expects you blowing past them in a heavy SUV. The weight and awd really hooks on the street. Trailblazer ss came with 395hp but this being turbo 6cyl would be even quiter than a modern ls2 v8 with a modern exhaust. I love werid powerful sleepers. More fun than most muscle cars for laughs.

remember as a kid you'd look inside car windows at their dash and be in awe when you saw that it went over 85? haha oh and look closely at the Lethal Weapon films, you'll see GMC Typhoons and brand new Z71's, pretty nice GM vehicles

I dont say this often about '80s and '90s GM products, but that's an awesome truck. I would love a mint condition one today, but I'm guessing they are still pricey!

I haven't personally modified any but I have seen both cyclone and typhoon at the strip going 12s and like mid 12s. Impressive out of the hole.

very nice and quick almost like a race truck than a race car

I have always wanted one these. Still today I would own one and drive it and take care of it...

GMC should consider a new Typhoon or at least a Typhoon performance kit, because some people can't forget this original Typhoon. 4:27-4:30-Michael Bolton's cover of Percy Sledge's classic "When A Man Loves A Woman".
