Re: Syclone CLUNKER how sad
I am trying to save the Syclone at this time, the paperwork on the GT Mustangs was to far gone and the red one was very nice car. We have started to get checks in and the paperwork flow is much better that in the beginning. Like anything new it takes some time to get it right. Keep in mind this flow of cars will stop very soon due to people that want to buy but cannot get financed as well as the shrinking dealer inventory. If you order a demostic car customer a new car it will take as long as 4 to 8 weeks in normal times but we are not in normal times so it should take alot longer. I see loaded haulers taking cars and trucks out of the storage area daily now and man its sad, the good news it will make the ones that survive worth more just as the cars we collect today have.

[/ QUOTE ] SWEET! Hopefully it can be saved. I'm sure that you have already talked to my Louisville Sy/Ty buddies up there. They are some great guys.If there is ANYTHING that we can do to help save Syclone #2076,or pieces of it,just let me know.  Just for shits and giggles,let me part this truck out: Seats $200 Center console/shifter/shifter cable $350 Gauge cluster/housing $300 ECM and engine wiring harness $250 Upper/lower intake manifolds with injectors and fuel rail $700 Exhaust manifolds w/turbo $400 IC system $400 Cladding $3000 engine/trans/TC Lets say $500 core prices.condition unknown. Off the top of my head,not counting S10 body panels,I got $5100 in parts. If it runs good and with 66k it's worth $7500 all day long.

Re: Syclone CLUNKER how sad
Coming out of college in '93, I thought the Typhoon and Syclone were the neatest thing since sliced bread!!!! I am not that old that these are considered clunkers!!!!!!!!!

Re: Syclone CLUNKER how sad
I now have the keys to the Syclone and should get the oK on Monday to get it home. I did get to drive it in the parking lot and it runs, shifts and drives fine but it wants to die in gear but just placing my foot on the gas in gear keeps it going, with or without the AC on. The seats look like new and it really is a solid truck. I would live to find a original black paint door for the because it looks like it still has all factory paint, I will know more when I clean it up. Survivor??
