There’s no denying that stuffing a high-performance engine under the hood of a compact pickup truck makes for a fun time, and that’s why it’s easy to love GMC’s Syclone. For the 1991 model year, the company stuffed a turbocharged 4.3-liter V6 engine under the hood of the small Sonoma pickup truck, thus creating one of the most unique pickup trucks ever to leave a manufacturer’s assembly line. This tastefully modified 1991 GMC Syclone is available here on eBay, and it’s a remarkably clean specimen of this powerful little truck.
This Syclone is available in Lakeland, Florida with a clean title. There isn’t too much information on the vehicle’s history, but every aspect of the truck is meticulous, even the undercarriage.
Everything on the outside of the truck is original and all of the Syclone-exclusive cladding is intact. If you look closely enough at the front of the vehicle, you can see a larger intercooler peeking from behind the grille.
Each Syclone featured Black exterior paint and a Black interior. This example has a Scanmaster tune and a few aftermarket gauges in the interior, which are important additions because the factory boost gauge had a reputation for providing inaccurate readings. Unfortunately, someone removed the factory air conditioning system, but it should be fairly easy to piece back together.
Under the hood, you’ll find a turbocharged 4.3-liter V6 engine with 48,546 miles on it, which pairs to an automatic transmission to drive all four wheels. This truck has upgrades such as a Turbonetics turbocharger, an air-to-air intercooler, an ignition and distributor system from MSD, aftermarket fuel injectors, and more.
At the time of publication, bidding for this Syclone is at $15,900 with the reserve not met. Would you add this rare performance truck to your collection, or would you rather build something from scratch?
