1993 GMC Typhoon Base

1993 GMC Typhoon
The Original Performance SUV!
Tasteful upgrades
Mechanically sorted and ready to enjoy for every day use!

1993 GMC Typhoon, finished in its original color with the unmistakable body-colored cladding that made these trucks one of the most unique performance vehicles of the early ’90s.

The Typhoon was way ahead of its time, combining a turbocharged and intercooled 4.3L V6 with all-wheel drive in a compact SUV that could embarrass plenty of legitimate sports cars when it was new. More than 30 years later, they remain one of the coolest and most collectible performance SUVs of the era.

This particular Typhoon is the perfect example for someone who actually wants to drive and enjoy one. With 96k miles, it isn’t a low-mile garage queen that you’re afraid to put miles on every time you take it out. Instead, it’s a well-sorted, great-looking truck that can be driven and enjoyed guilt free while still owning one of GM’s most iconic performance vehicles of the ’90s.

More importantly, this Typhoon is mechanically sorted and has received extensive recent service to make sure it is ready for regular road use. Rather than being a 30+ year-old collector vehicle that has spent most of its life sitting, this one has been maintained with the intention of actually being driven and enjoyed. It’s an excellent option for someone looking for a Typhoon they can confidently get in and use on a regular basis.

The truck was repainted in its original color to clean up the normal chips, scratches and road debris blemishes accumulated over 30+ years of use. During the repaint, the exterior cladding was also color matched, giving the truck a cleaner and more uniform appearance.

It remains largely original with just a handful of mild and tasteful upgrades that improve the driving experience without taking away from the character of the truck.

Upgrades include:

Full upgraded sound system
Sony flip-out head unit
Sony component speakers
JL Audio subwoofer enclosure
Upgraded front intercooler shroud
AutoMeter A-pillar mounted boost gauge
Turbo timer
Cold air intake system

If you’ve always wanted a Typhoon but don’t want to spend your ownership staring at the odometer and worrying about adding miles, this is exactly the type of example to own. It presents extremely well, is mechanically sorted with extensive recent service, has just the right amount of tasteful upgrades, and most importantly, it’s a Typhoon you can actually get in, drive and enjoy the way GMC intended.
