A typhoon is what they call a hurricane in the Pacific Ocean. LOL. Think Buick Grand National but with All-Wheel Drive but not quite as fast, it was the Jimmy version of the Cyclone S-10 pickup.

Yeah, those Typhoons and Cyclones are amazing. The Cyclone is probably hands down the second fastest production truck ever. I would love to have either one.

if that truck hasn't been f**k'd with, that's not a bad price.

mileage is a little on the high side (IMO), but it looks good from the pic's.

It's not that high on mileage when you figure that it is 17 years old which puts it around 8,800 miles a year.

Well i am a second gen plus kinda guy... (dont be hatin, but I love me some gen 2+ camaro, the gen 1's were always too expensive when nice so I just shut them out...)

But I knew what a typhoon was, there was a kid that trashed one in my high school a year or two ago, and now the same kid bought my friends gto... he did some high speed driving...

But that is probably the sexiest gen 1 since GregW painted his blue...

I got to drive one of those way back just after high school, so they were still somewhat new at that point. At the time they weren't known to be collectable. We thrashed on that truck quite a bit. I've never driven a truck anything like it since. No idea whatever happen to it!!
