There’s just over 22,000 original miles on this 1993 GMC Typhoon that remains one of the hottest SUVs ever made. The seller claims that despite the prodigious performance on board, he simply doesn’t drive it, and that much is evident: he’s owned it since 1995. The limited-production truck and its sibling, the pickup-bodied Syclone, are often ridden hard and put away wet, so finding examples that haven’t been modified or simply treated like a beater is getting harder to pull off as time wears on. The seller of this example clearly has big ideas on the horizon, as he claims he’s willing to trade for a plane. Find it here on eBay with bids to $16,000 and the reserve unmet.

The bidding activity may be falling short of where the seller expected it to rise to, as the plans to swap for a plane would suggest a minimum bid of somewhere around $40K-$50K – at least for a plane worth owning. Now, I don’t question the seller’s lack of use of the Typhoon, as it has to be nerve-wracking owning what he claims is the lowest mileage example for sale anywhere at the moment, worrying about everything from door dings to distracted drivers. The funny thing is, for such a special truck, most drivers will fail to recognize as the super truck that it is, making it even more likely to be backed into should you be unlucky enough to leave it in a parallel parking spot.

Now, the good news is – paralysis of ownership or not – this is a super clean example with all the usual signs of wear and tear non-existent. The leather seats usually look pretty beat up by this point, even in decent examples. This one is in mint condition, from the buckets to the console to the carpets. The Typhoon, unfortunately, has an aftermarket headunit. That’s a big disappointment in a truck that’s presented as a low-mileage survivor. It certainly is, but I would like to see the original headunit swapped back in before a sale. Regardless, that’s the only real sticking point to focus on in a truck that is otherwise as the factory intended inside and out.

The turbocharged drivetrain is what made all the headlines when these trucks were new, as their performance rivaled that of the supercars of the era (and is still quite formidable today.) Now, many owners are tempted to mess with the factory formula and crank up the boost to extract even more performance from the six-cylinder powerplant, and who can blame them? But fortunately, the owner of this example has shown the necessary restraint to keep it in factory-fresh condition. My only additional opinion is that prices for these trucks haven’t swung all that much lately, except for outliers with less than 10,000 miles on the truck. Is there some flat-lining of the values at this point, or is the best yet to come?
