Factory performance pickups have come and gone over the years and make a pretty good investment if they are well maintained. One of the rarest in the category is the GMC Syclone. Only available for one year in 1991, there were less than 3000 produced. This one has less than 60,000 original miles and can be found here on eBay with a current bid of over $26,000 and the reserve hasn’t been met yet. There is a buy-it-now price of $30,000 in the ad, which seems like really strong money for this truck, but the bidding isn’t too far behind, so perhaps the seller will get close to their asking price. According to the classic car insurer Hagerty, an average value for this truck is $21,700, with excellent examples at $35,000, and concours quality examples at $46,300. Take a closer look at this one and let us know where you think it fits into the scale.
Located in Livingston, Tennessee, there are no photos of the engine in the ad, but there are some of the undercarriage. The 262 cubic inch 6-cylinder produced 280 horsepower thanks to a turbo-charger and intercooler. The Syclone was the first pickup with four wheel anti-lock brakes as well. The seller has a fairly long list of items that have been replaced recently. It almost sounds like the truck sat for a long time and it was refurbished to sell. Take a look at the list for yourself and see what you think.
The seller doesn’t make many comments about the interior other than the headliner starting to sag and the anti-lock brake warning light being on. Overall, the interior looks really nice.
According to the Hagerty “Only 2,998 GMC Syclones were produced, 3 of which were 1992 models. All are menacingly blacked out, save for 2 of the 1992 models, and 10 Marlboro Syclones were modified as post-production contest giveaways, with these special editions wearing red paint and a Targa-style roof.” Hopefully, this one will find a new home. The seller is pretty honest that this is a driver-quality pickup. So after looking at it closer, do you think it is worth the $30,000 asking price?
