    Just jumped on board the other day. Looks like a great site here. I dont have a Rod yet but would love to get to work on a mid 30s Plymouth in the future. I gotta finish my bike first! Right now I got a 1992 Typhoon and pieces of a bike. As soon as that bike is rolling under its own power the search for the Plymouth will begin.

    What is a GMC Typhoon? Is it like those GMC Syclones except in a suv form? I know what it looks like from the picture and have heard of them but, never knew what they were designed for. I know the Syclone was a sport truck that never made it.

    Yeah the Typhoon and Syclone shared the same drive train. A 4.3 V6 turbo charged engine. 700R trany and All Wheel Drive. Only 2200 were made in 1992 and 2400 in 93, those were the only years they were porduced. The Syclone was only made in 1991 and only 200 produced. Saying it was a sport truck that never made it sounds a bit harsh . They were serious threats back in those 3 years and still are today. I know Mustangs and Vettes in hate to see them

    Thanks for clarafying me on Typhoons. Ok saying the Syclone never made it is a bit harsh, if only 200 were made than GM must have put it out as a limited edtion vehicle and meant to end the production.

    Yeah I was just having fun but you're right it was made as a limited production vehicle.
