This is a very rare 1991 GMC Sonoma Syclone. This truck was donated to a non profit organization where I work and I have been asked to sell it. This truck is fast and in excellent condition with only 18,000 miles! It is a collectors item and I have read that it is still the fastest production pick up truck ever built!
Kelly Blue Book values this truck at $21480 Retail - $18555 Private Party - and $15800 Trade In. We will show this truck by appointment only. call 602-790-7461.
Below is information about the uniqueness of this truck.
The Syclone was a high-performance version of the GMC Sonoma pickup truck.
The Syclone truck features a Mitsubishi TD06-17C 8 cm² turbocharger and Garrett water/air intercooler attached to a 4.3 L LB4 V6 engine with unique pistons, main caps, head gaskets, intake manifolds, fuel system, exhaust manifolds, and a throttle body from the 5.7 L GM Small-Block engine. All Sy's had a 700R4 (4L60) 4-speed automatic transmission. A Borg Warner all wheel drive 1372/4472 transfer case split torque with 35% forward and 65% to the rear wheels. The Syclone features upgraded brakes and sport modifications to the standard suspensions. The Syclone was the first production truck to receive a 4 wheel anti-lock braking system. Output is 280 hp (209 kW) and 360 ft.lbf (488 Nm). The Syclone is capable of accelerating from 0-60 mph in under 5 seconds and could do a quarter-mile run in about 13 seconds.
In 1991 Syclones were available in black only. 2995 Syclones were built in 1991, and 3 in 1992. 113 (estimated 31 returned) were reported as Export Sales including a subset now referred to as the Saudi Syclones — a small number were delivered to Saudi Arabia and modified with a metric dash cluster, leaded fuel chip, and a resonator in place of the catalytic converter.
The Syclone is a veritable street eater. She's based on the GMC S15 Sonoma. GMC added special ground effects, wheels, and decals to enhance the truck's image. Under it's pretty exterior is a mustang-eating 4.3 liter Vortec V-6. What's so special you're asking? Well, it could be the all wheel drive system that was mated to the TH 700R4 automatic transmission. Or it could be the liquid intercooled turbo that pushes up to 280hp (disputed to be 330hp) and torque up to 360 lb-ft. Only 2995 of these puppies were made in 1991 (3 in 1992). From a stop, 60mph hits you in under 5 seconds, the quarter mile passes under 14.
