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. This very early production truck is No. 83 of 2,995 Syclones produced in 1991. Built by Production Automotive Services in Troy, Michigan, for GMC, this feisty little pickup is unmodified and has been driven only 5,800 actual miles. 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. The exterior of this truck looks superb. The cloth interior of the truck looks clean—especially the carpets and dashboard—while comfort options include cruise control, power windows and power locks. This Syclone is a very special truck in superb condition, still wearing its original Firehawk SUX tires and comes with the original owner’s manual, extra keys and other documents.
