He better 👍🏼
HEY I FOUND A TYPHOON IN BLACK ON AUTOTEMPEST IN BROOKLYN NYC, IT NEEDS WORK BUT I HOPE THIS HELPS 😎👍
It sounds like if he does sell it, you are definitely the top candidate. Another idea if he doesn't want to sell it, perhaps you, him and his son could do the restoration together on the channel🤷♂️
Your next DREAM should be a 20k square heated building. To keep these car in. Value will sky rocket in 20 yrs.
There’s a guy in Florida that is a Wizard for these. There’s a recent video from one of the SXS Blog guy that’s started his own Chanel and took his Cyclone to hi and it halls.😊
You really said “I was built in 1984” like you were in a human assembly line lmao. So excited to see your opportunity to get one of your dream cars
It made me think about myself. I guess I was built in '79.. well technically it started in '78. Ok now I'm overthinking and thinking about stuff I don't want to think about 😖🤣 Thanks for the comment. Made me laugh 😉👍
I graduated High School in 1984, good times. Built in 1966. Libra too.
I was built in 1980. So the Typhoon was on the streets when I got my license.
I was built in 1960. I was a limited edition but didn't have too many factory options. High mileage and unrestored but still running...
I got my drivers license in 1984
Shoutout to the drying towel. Used it for the first time the other day and probably could have dried a couple cars off.
Thanks brother. It's my favorite car cleaning product.
As the wife of the owner, I can honestly say, great job on the video. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time and putting in the effort.
I personally have no appreciation for the Typhoon. If it were up to me I’d sell it for $7 and a pack of gum. The Syclone, I like.
He will never sell it. Sorry.
That's a pity. If he leaves it out in the weather it'll rot to nothing in no time at all, and then nobody gets to see one of these cool old things on the road.
With all due respect, you wouldn't be the first wife to sell off vehicles for pennies on the dollar. My advice to all non-car people: If you end up stuck with a vehicle to sell (inherited or otherwise), please do your research. You're not doing yourself nor your family any favors by selling a vehicle terribly underpriced.
She isn't the owners wife...she is full of it.
@@shouldabeenaborted 😂 whatever you gotta tell yourself.
Your looking at the frame and the body mounts lol, try looking behind those rocker moldings lol
I subscribe to about 50 different car channels an yours is by far the one I appriciate the most. No one is more down to earth than you. I love your videos.
I usually skip thru videos that are longer than 15 minutes, but yours are in a different leauge. I watch every minute, everytime.
I have never been jealous of anyone in my life. Till now. I appreciate our car collection keep on winning at life brother
How about the guy buying a typhoon and syclone when he was 16? That must've been one he'll of a paper route. Or he was selling weed
@@The_jason1, minimum wage hit better back then. 😂
The cobra made me jealous 😂
@@The_jason1
Yeah his name was walter white..🤣
@@ALCRAN2010 Minimum wage was $4.25 back then. He must have got a nice weekly allowance too lol
Do you think he will sell it to me?
Yes
I hope so
This says it came out 9min ago,but your comment says 1hr ago,how does that work ?
def
He better!
Greetings from Germany,
whilst you were talking with the owner, a beautiful scene occured, that could be described as follows:
When you are passionate about one special vehicle that pulls at your heart strings, a white Bugatti just becomes an unimportant backdrop.
Being a middle-aged man, who has followed your channel for many years, I am very happy for you that you follow and live your passions & dreams.
With kind regards,
TH
What a nice perspective. I absolutely agree with you
I lived in Hanau back in the mid 90s. Greetings from Ohio
204 amg c63s...ended up w 205 instead. My guy gets it...
The latest Cobra video! czcams.com/video/9BFvEm8zUtU/video.htmlsi=4D8lKpEx663Qp-Km
I use to prep these things for deliveries back when I worked at a GMC dealership back in the day. These things were so special back in the day. The place was also a Pontiac dealer. I got to drive all the special edition trans am's, Firebirds, and Formulas.
That's so cool. I love reading these kind of comments. Although I will never be able to touch or drive these vehicles. I love these videos about 80's and 90's cars and the comments from people's experiences. Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice!! I used to work at a Ford dealer in WI that sold RCode Mustangs, Corbras etc in the early 90s.
Got to drive all the cool stuff at 18 years old!!
@@JohnKaufmann We're lucky that we got to be so close to these vehicles when they were new.
A typhoon yess this will be the build everyone has been waiting on especially with the LSC / Alex touch 😎🇺🇸💪
Word. I would love to see Alex pump this one 😎
For sure, definitely prefer this content vs McLaren, space van type stuff.
20k with a blown engine!! Craziness
NOT HAPPENING
Following Alex for years crazy he went from his home garage, to a new shop, an already ready for a bigger shop 😂 good work Alex.
The excitement in your voice is always so beautiful.
SELL IT TO HIM!!! Please, we all need to see this resurrection!!
He won't. It was to much of a memory lane trip. He heard the 16K offer and came up with this "I have to ask my son" BS story.
Gets my vote for best comment... but it's definitely a hard sell. The guy legitimately purchased it at the dawn of his driving. That's a ton of sentimental attachment for $20k to break
I personally like the sound of the LS Porsche better but the fire spitting from the exhaust of the Mclaren......Priceless!
nothing more tacky and cringey than someone just revving up their junk for no reason ... reminds me of squatted trucks with straight pipes
I mean, it's cool in a sense, but the engineer side of myself is disgusted at the waste of unburned fuel.
When you can jump on YT and find a creator that ALWAYS makes you laugh and smile, you have found LegitStreetCars! Cheers Alex! Bravo!
I just bought the spring car cleaning kit bundle! Thanks for putting together incredible products and car content. Also, I absolutely love the Cyclones and Typhoons!
I love how nomatter the price bracket of the car, a true car guy is a true car guy.
Its crazy when you get to the video within the first 10 min and watching the view count and likes update as you watch through the video! Congrats Alex, you deserve all the success!
Keep your head up with those cars Alex! I've watched every video on this channel and LSC2. The main thing I love and that keeps me coming back is your patience and completion of every project. He's going to sell that Typhoon, I can feel it!!
Quite the roller coaster of emotions during that phone call….truly shows your passion for the hobby!
Love my super jumbo drying towel lol…..and I bought that Amazon under carriage sprayer from a few videos back too-awesome!
A few videos back you mentioned Stacey David, and how you loved his show. Well, not sure if this is by design or not but your videos are basically a 2020's version of that show. Keep up the great work!
Totally agree! I used to watch car shows on TV on weekends years ago... Now I watch CZcams. That's why we started our own channel too!
This is great. I just love how excited u get about all the little things about a vehicle.. love the typhoon
Whatever you are doing, whether it goes good or bad (I prefer that it goes good for you but celebrate your victories when a challenge presents itself and you overcome it) I enjoy watching and supporting what you do.
Growing up my Saturday mornings included Power Block TV and you have replaced that. I appreciate your videos so much. I look forward to Saturday mornings when I can relax with a nice cup of coffee and enjoy your weekly Legit StreetCars video on my computer at my desk or my phone if I am out and about. This is also the case (most of the time) when I am not relaxing but working at my desk on Saturday morning after a week that I may have fallen behind in my business or something has popped up that I need to deal with.
Thanks for giving me something to look forward to every week and even being something good to balance Saturday morning. I am not able to relax peacefully with a cup of coffee and have the familiar Saturday morning tradition I grew up with.
Your enthusiasm is so infectious! Love my Saturday morning LSC videos.
I just about peed my pants when I saw the thumbnail this morning! I have been rooting for you to get a typhoon ever since I started watching your channel years ago. I owned a 93 black typhoon and sold it to a cop in Chicago when I was a grad student and couldn’t afford the constant maintenance costs. It was the coolest Daily driver on the road. I share in your disappointment about not completing the sale as of yet, and I urge the owner of the 92 typhoon that you’re interested in to do the right thing and sell it to someone who will cherish and baby it. They are so rare. You realize, however that because of your video you will now spark newfound interest in cyclones and typhoons and cause a worldwide price increase on the remaining examples😅. Good luck on your search.
By the way, that moth ball smell is probably a blown heater core in your passenger wheel well
Good luck with the Typhoon! It'll make a fine addition to your collection. And the interior is phenomenal! That alone is worth the price of admission!!
Alex, I’ve watched most of your videos and we have the exact same taste in cars. I hope and will keep my fingers crossed that you get this typhoon. Good for you brother keep up the great videos.
Literally watching this on my way to Chicago from Las Vegas!
IM 5 SECONDS IN AND AM IMMEDIATELY EXCITED. I love Syclones and Typhoons, my dad and I always talked about turning his square body s10 into a syclone-clone
a sy-clone, if you will
Tony Angelo did just that and documented his build on the Stay Tuned CZcams channel. Could be the inspiration you need?
The sound of that V8 is AWESOME!! The Typhoon is really cool and I hope the gentleman sells the car to you. Oh and the 911 with the V8 won the rev battle, now if shooting fire was the point then the McClaren would win . . . .
Omg
The CL...again!?!.
Dude, your an absolute inspiration! Because of you, I'm following my dream, and starting my own mobile mechanic business!
Had a coworker that for YEARS daily drove a custom built early 90’s turbo v6 s-10 because he was so in love w syclones/typhoons…
Everything was modified on it, even got some 2nd hand cladding on the sides and an aftermarket steering wheel that looked similar to the syclone/typhoon one to make it look the part, bed was tubbed and huge slicks for the track…well, one day he finally found himself an actual typhoon…
Kinda same scenario, seen it for a while at a shop, he’s a mechanic, owner didn’t wanna sell just had this n that to fix…eventuallly he got the call like 2 years later and bought it
Had it fixed and running within weeks, and I don’t remember ever seeing him drive the s10 again, only ever saw him in the typhoon with a huge grin from ear to ear EVERY DAY
Good luck w that truck if he does sell it
We all know u deserve a win like that, and honestly that color combo is nice, and we know I’ll definitely give that truck the lightning treatment(or pretty close)
Car guys are awesome, that conversation was so typical of a car guy conversation even for a prospective sale. Best of luck Alex!
Happy for you Alex. I agree in that the Typhoon is one of the coolest “truck/SUV” style vehicles ever made.
Your the man. Just cleaned up my lq9 using your method !! Worked perfect !!
I love Saturday mornings when this pop up on my notifications. 😢
Yep! It's not a weekend till I'm watching LSC haha. We upload on Fridays so that people can watch over the weekend. Not on Alex's level though haha
@@RustedRides right lol . Ima check u out
Is Sunday
If alex isn't able to buy this one hes not going to be able to sleep till he gets one now.
Alex, keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the cobra and svt truck fixed. Came for the cdi merc, stayed with you since then.
Man there’s a ton of these builds coming back to life ! And i love it ! Even the knock off versions the boosted v6 gm engines are a soft spot in my heart even the boosted 4200s that are coming around more
What's up sideburns. I was trying to sell you my typhoon. It was a great truck. Glad you found one. We'll meet one day.
Don't know if you saw it but I sent you a pretty clean one in Melrose park on fb market place while back. As someone else built in Chicagoland in 1984, this channel always checks the boxes 👍
Yes on checking the boxes. Love Alex's channel. He was one of the inspirations for us to start our channel
I would LOVE to see a Typhoon series
Dude!! That's my phone with the "OtterBox" cover!!! Had it a year. Love it.
I own Typhoon number 237 for 1993 and I can tell you to get rid of every bit of that msd crap. I tried it to because my truck was red. No! That engine is tuned for the resistance of a delphi cap and rotor. Hitachi coil and Delco plugs and wires. They will ping and knock like hell from just a tune up. Oh! Non ethanol Fuel if you have the option
Even though the McLaren is bad-ass, Porsche definitely won. Hope you get the Typhoon! The owner will see your work and know it would being going to the best home... you are going to bring it back to perfection!
Built in 1984, I’m with ya! We’ll be 40 this year, happy early birthday to you, keep up the awesome content yo!
Good luck man, hope you get it!
Oh man yessss typhoon content!!!
Alex I saw a Typhoon listed on EBAY currently.Its in more rough condition then this one. However definitely think you could do your thing on it and bring it back around. Much Love keep fire content rolling Brother!!
Well off to ebay I go to see what you are talking about! I hope he gets the typhoon!
I grew up in the 90s as well and the Syclone & Typhoon are dream vehicles. I've had 2 S10's, a Sonoma, a Jimmy and I've always loved the S-Series trucks. Hope the deal works out for you.
Your videos make my Saturdays so much better 💯 well actually your videos in general just make things better for me.
❤❤❤❤ i had the same color typhoon. Wish i still had it.
I don't know why I love the Porsche conversion so much.
I mean it's a porsche, I love them all haha. I just say it wrong like most Canadians
A dream car for me here in the UK and I was lucky enough to get hold of one last weekend . Pick it up from the dealer next weekend . So stoked to see the love for these vehicles . Super super rare in the UK . 🇬🇧
I have to say Ive been a fan and followed you from wayyy back to your ls1tech days building your Transam. I love living through your videos of building many of the dream cars I wish i could have. I feel your passion for the GM icon cars. I hope you land the Typhoon and thanks for being a super informative while entertaining channel. I wish I lived closer, Id love to visit with my home brew 86 T/A turbo ls swap.
Love how he planted the 16K to 20K seed after telling the guy to check out his channel.
I hope you can buy it!
Oh man Alex, I was excited to see you close the deal when I saw the thumbnail for this video. I’ve been searching for a couple of years for a 1993-1994 S10 Blazer 4 door with 4x4. I check almost everyday. It’s also been a dream truck of mine since I was little. My parents briefly had a 1984 S10 Blazer when I was little and I’ve always loved the body style. It would be cool to bring my future Blazer to one of your car shows down the road after you get your Typhoon.
I watch every Saturday and just seeing the title of the video but a smile on my face knowing the smile that would be on yours. Watching from Alberta keep up the good work🤘
My ideal whip would be to use an extreme and make a clone!
That would be a project I'd follow. I had a similar idea for my channel... Well not that similar but I'd be using an extreme platform for a body swap... Might happen this summer. Got a 69 charger to build first
Can't wait to see the charger build!! I'll be sharing more of my projects as well @@RustedRides
Id rather take a GMC 91 Sonoma square body, two door, swap the astro van AWD trans out of the astro van, put the original rims on it, get recaro seats, center counsel and put the supercharger in. Paint it black with the red pin stripes and youd have the exact truck
Turns up in a 911 to try and get a good deal...
They both sound great!! The flames 🔥 win.
Thank you Alex, best automotive channel. I think your Porsche ls sounds the best 😊
All talking No action kinda Vlog stuff on this 1
I have a feeling he's going to want you to come up on your number, but I hope you get it because it's super clean and super cool!👍
Thank you for all your videos. Sorry to hear about your Mercedes Suspension again. Everyday I will check LSC for updates and if there are none, I will listen to the LSC end tune with my HiFi. Once again, thank you Alex for all your videos.
You deserve this car because you're the most passionate car guy on you tube. Continue with the great content 👌
Out of approximately 2200 Typhoons made in 1992, only 28 of them were painted in that color (Aspen Blue), but only 14 are accounted for. I have one... And I love it!
I really enjoy your enthusiasm! I love cars too, but I liked the 50 and 60's cars and trucks
I hope he sells you this, (pretty sure you have to jump up the offer to get him into it) it would be amazing to see you restore this thing, I love your attention to detail and the quality of your work. Keep it up bro!
This is how i geeked out over my two....240Z cars I owned in 1989 and 1991 and yes I raced these Typhoons, Cyclones, 5.0s Vetts and Grand Nationals every chance I got
Not car related, but I really love your outro track. Never change it!
Alex your content is incredible for us nostalgic car guys. Congratulations buddy 👏
I was definitely watching another video and saw this had to stop what i was doing immediately LOL my project isna typhoon cant wait to start working on it! Good luck getting this gem
That interior giving me vibes of my first ride, 90 Chevy S-10 blazer 4.3L - such a great truck, was built like a tank and I never got stuck anywhere in New England.
Alex, are you in my head?
You’re running through my dream car list.
I have an ‘87 Grand National that I’ve owned for 28 years.
But the Delorean is my #1 dream car. And I was literally telling my wife last night that I would like to have a Typhoon as I want back seats.
And who can forget the ‘89 TTA, would love to have one of those.
You have to get the truck. Just awesome. I have an 89 TTA with 8.6k miles all stock and original. Great car.
Thanks, I really appreciate your content. Cheers me up and we all need that.
Alex you literally buy and own cars I would 100 percent have in my own collection. Typhoons are so much cooler than the Cyclones imo. 😊
I worked at a grocery store in HS and the pharmacist that worked there owned both and they have stuck in my mind ever since
Reminds me of my first car: 1991 S10 Blazer with a 4.3. Loved it! In the same 2 tone blue/grey
"RIM GOD" on the McLaren's plate? Dude's boyfriend must love him! 😋
That McLaren engine sounds heavenly, hearing one up close in person is unreal. Also great video, my dad has been on the fence about selling his typhoon too but still hasn’t decided, it’s an all black so not a cool color.
I think the best solution here is to have the owner of the Typhoon hire you Alex as the mechanic to work on the van, that way he can see the work you do, you can make videos on it, and once it's done he might be more willing to part with it for a reasonable price!
I am SO bummed!! I was genuinely excited for this project, hoping for the best!
Fascinating conversation, two dudes with same passion, no awkward silence, talked like y’all had known each other for years, pretty cool
Nice work Alex
I love the sound from both but Alex that custom exhaust is my favorite!
looks super clean!
Hey brother. I know you dont know me but i watch your channel for the last few years. It has helped me through my treatments and hospitalizations. Tonight I could even bring myself to put the line to my stomach for my insulin pump. I know my liver is failing me and when i end up in the hospital i am in pain that i cant even describe. I have been fighting this illness for 14 years. I run my own small garage door and electrical company by myself. I have a truck that needs more work and money then i have. Also my 4 year old son is everything to me. I just wanted to say thank you. I have a treatment tomorrow but i dont know how it will go but i hope you keep dreaming and building everything you have ever wanted. Maybe you could do a burn out and pray for me.
Love your content Alex, super interesting stuff, and you have a great personality for it...
Bro, you get cars. Nobody will touch I love u for that .
Love it hope u get it my brother!!!
Dude! I didn’t realize you sold detail towels! Awesome! I’ll check it out!
Hi Alex and Family. Great Saturday morning video as always.
sending best wishes to all .
nice find alex !!! i loved them too!!
All made sense when you explained at the end ofthe video, why you have so many unfinished projects on the go and we never see a completed series. I enjoyed this week’s video and sorry to hear about the ABC on the CL65. ❤
It’s also amazing the condition you find these cars. This one, the interior looks mint.
the best blazer/jimmy body style made miss my 94.. 4 door so much glad you got it !!!
Another great video !! And fyi your approach to ads makes them nice to watch I never feel like I want t skip ..
I appreciate that!
