Fastest Production Car in the World Was a Truck? Buying the Cheapest Running Syclone in the USA!
Vložit
- čas přidán 19. 06. 2024
- I have ALWAYS wanted a Syclone. This was the quickest vehicle in the world in ‘91 and the fastest truck to 60 FOR THIRTY YEARS. Imaging a GMC pickup truck being faster than every Ferrari and Lambo on the market, insane! I went to buy the cheapest running and driving (roughly) one I could find in 2000 miles. After digging into the truck, with the body, and running like a mess, it was really hard to justify the steep price tag.

I’ve never seen a seen a CZcamsr walk away from a sale. Respect. Then the twist of buying a base truck and turning into a Syclone is genius!
Luckily I had Barb there to be the voice of reason!
In the end you'd own fully restored Cyclone.
He was right. That was way too much for that truck.
Yeah but it's no a syclone.
@@exotichandyman yeah I agree I wouldn't go over 8k for it and that's only because of what it is. I mean you got wiring, engine, brakes, then paint job and that's gonna be at the minimum 10k you're gonna dump into it.
Thank Christ you are back on here. The spirit of this channel is the furthest thing from corporate.
Thanks! Yeah, we don't fit into the suits!
@@StayTunedTA to much pizza.. and Italian heritage
You know something just feels right when Tony is on his own channel
At least with Haggerty the videos are available outside of the us without a vpn. mtod killed every series they had, outside of the us when they moved away from youtube.

The Syclone and Typhoon will always have a very special place in my heart because Mt father owned a Syclone and I owned a Typhoon and the amount of time we spent together working, hot rodding, and drag racing these vehicles was some of the most fantastic and perfect memories of my time with my father. Thank you very much for sharing, everyone keep yourselves and love ones safe and healthy and remember to SMILE 😃 😊
I wanted a typhoon so bad when I was in highschool. I still randomly look for solid blazers. I really dig that body style
@Carlos same here I absolutely love that body style
Your a blessed person , that was my dream to have hotrods and build , drive with my dad😂😂
@BrotherSkrill Rc yes it was so special, it was the only time that my father dropped his guard and just let the kid come out. Some amazing memories
camera man sees puppy and instantly focuses on it give this man a raise
Haha. One day I'll put a puppy and a pizza out and really give him a dilemma.
@@StayTunedTA the choice is obvious.
let the puppy steal a slice and problem solved it will be your most viewed video ever
I can't believe you found that for $1200. I would be THRILLED to find one like that for $2500. Great find!
Really? Ivve bought 5 of them in the last 6 years all with zero rust and never paid more than $1000. Also drove all but 1 off them home.
The funny thing is that the concept was originally from Buick and they had put a GNX engine in an S-10 and pitched the idea to Chevrolet since Buick didn't have a truck model of their own and the brass at Chevrolet passed because they already had the 454 SS. The GMC brass felt that the GN engine was too expensive to use so they opted to use off the shelf stuff.
Hard to walk away from a dream, but that thing was a nightmare. I hate to see such rare classic cars treated like junkyard dogs, but sadly it's a reality. Good job passing.
This is going to be way more cool than restoring a syclone! Loved watching you on HRG put together fun builds like this, and I’m super glad to see you’re keeping it up.
I am so glad you guys are back to doing your own thing. Watching y'all go through the process of evaluating an overpriced nightmare project amidst a bunch of goats was a ton of fun. Thank you for doing what you do!
Thanks! We are having a blast being back.
The Sike Clone, I love it. We all appreciate the content from Stay⚡️Tuned, great work from all of ya'll!😎
The idea of a fast ass little truck just sounds fun as hell
That's actually a sweet buy. 22 years ago I bought my 1982 S10 2wd longbox already 350 swapped for $1,800 as my first truck. It has been a super fun and reliable truck all these years, and it feels like a real sport truck. I'm stoked for this build, great idea!
That was excellent. good editing, good story telling. so stoked for more ST
You are 100% right the cheap stuff is the most fun, I'm glad you made such a good choice
I love this truck already. Love the channel, brother. I've followed you for years. Glad to see you out doing things like this.
A guy i went to school with had one of these and it was insane.. scared the shit out of me when i road in it the first time.. been chasing that feeling ever since!!😂😂
Stay Tuned twice in 1 week. Spoiling us! Ordered my Street Freak shirt. Pizza and a Beer time. Thanks everyone who works on this channel and those cars.
We wanted to hit it hard for our first week back! Thanks for the support!
Now this is a series I’d be interested in
I am SUPER excited to get working on this truck. Same potential, less money, zero guilt!
It’s definitely a good base for a cool project
@@StayTunedTA love the channel and this project... but maybe a centrifugal blower?
Looking forward to this build.
To me y'all are the most enjoyable car channel to watch.
Keep it up!
so pumped on this, and its great you're back on your own channel. its gonna blow up for sure!!
Hell Yeah Tony! I love me a Syclone and I've been looking for one to work on for a long time as well. I'm really excited to see the new project and I'm really glad to see that the channel is doing really well too! Keep it up bro!
At this point create a clone you'll have WAY less in it and have the same truck.
Glad to see you boys doing it on your own channel again! Now make this thing grow!! Really dig the s10. I have one with a Buick gn turbo motor in it. Fun little trucks.
You guys are quickly becoming my favorite channel! That dang firebird is beyond ridiculous and I can’t wait to see what’s to come.vYou’ve got a talent for finding cool projects, even on HRG. I wish you could’ve finished that javelin and grand trashional!
Might try to grab a couple old HRG projects if MT will let me.
That javelin is dope.
YEEEESS! You totally rock man. Great to see you back on your own channel. You’ve got an excellent team around you and awesome ideas. There’s only one thing you need to change…… absolutely nothing 😎. Just keep doing what you’re doing and we’ll be here.
Thanks! Really appreciate it!
Love this, brilliant video subject. So many options. Loving your work Tony. Thanks for all the content
Thanks! I can't wait to get cracking on it!
Those trucks used the Astro all wheel drive mini van drivetrain, 4.3 V6 water cooled Mitsubishi turbo.
Trucks we're living limited to 700 lb cargo and passenger.
The GMC Jimmy 2dr version upped it to 900 lb passengers and cargo. Suspension was lowered 3" from the factory.
The best gas mileage I got was 10mpg in the Cyclone and Typhoon respectively summer of winter.
The Typhoon had fantastic traction in the rain even with wide tires. ABS brake system was also great in the wet.
I never liked cheapy plastic ground effects from the factory so I had mine painted body colors. Black on the Typhoon and white on the cyclone.
My favorite channel. Two episodes , two days in a row! Can’t beat it.
Glad you're back. Love the soul of the channel and glad to see it not being crushed
The Olds Bravada had the AWD case you need, that's what HRM used in the 90s for the Quadraduce project car, a '32 Ford with an LT-1, T-56, AWD.
Now this is a build that is going to be awesome. I have thought about a build like this. This is going to be better than just fixing a beat up cyclone. This is something we can do at home on a budget. Bring on the build!
Being from Maryland I think I might've seen this truck listed. Glad to see it getting ran through
So good to see someone make a genuine decision instead “CZcams will cover it decision”
Looking forward to the build
Can't wait to follow this build, kinda wish you were building a kickass 4.3 V6 but with better/faster updated tech.
It's always been my dream to do that and go hurt some feelings fishing, (Farmtruck and AZN style) then lifting the hood afterwards to see the reaction on they're faces when they realise they got butt hurt by a v6!
If that S10 has a T-5 it's the same bolt pattern as an LS4. You'll have to mod it for a starter but, that's a great platform to build on. Get the body lift and mud tires off there, get a body kit and some rims. Have yourselves a mean street truck. 706/862 heads will make more power on a 5.3 than the 243 heads, swap a TBSS intake, go with a mean cam with a tight LSA, headers for n/a or just right to a sloppy stage 2 cam and ebay turbo/s. You'll be able to waste a Syclone for half what that project truck cost.
I owned both the 91 syclone and the 92 typhoon. I managed over $3000 in speeding tickets my first two years of driving and 6 suspensions. I also managed to rip all the wheels off the syclone in one accident and bend the frame a couple times on the typhoon. Best time of my life. Surprise I survived. Lots of money spent.
That takes a lot of heart.
Well done!
Love it that your back on here. Looking forward to this project.
So glad your back on your own cchan. I wasn't into Hagerty's style.
We are happy to be doing our thing over here in the open.
Love still see u and Lucky work on an joint vehicle together sometime .both your channels I follow and watch 🙌💯
I did the same thing years ago. Got my S10 from a salvage yard in Ebensburg PA for$250. Running and driving. Glad to see someone else appreciates these little square bodies. Anxious to see your build.
Really looking forward to this build! You made the right decision.
That Syclone was so damn overpriced! I understand it's rare, but for the condition it was in I wouldn't have paid even $7k for that.
Yeah 7 grand 17 years ago ...try to find one ..shit 13 grand is a bargain 👌 New trucks now North of 45 thousand 😢 and trucks used to be cheap and affordable transportation
It would have been a 13k truck if it had at least run properly. The motor is what these things were all about, and it sounded way too rough to be trusted. I couldn't tell if that was bottom end noise on startup or the torque converter banging around.
@@nottawaygarage3683 13 grand was a deal. It sounded like a syclone to me and I rode in them when they where new. It only had a little fire damage 🔥. Not sure why the guy would say mice did the munching on wires. It just needed a pickup coil a 24 dollar part
It had a dead hole. Spark plug, plug wire, injector or compression, but it is a Syclone🤷♂️
I’m glad y’all are doing your own thing again. I’m staying tuned.
Appreciate it!
@@StayTunedTA I'm also subbed, and notifications are ON which I only do for you and Derek Bieri lol
The really awesome thing about those pick-ups is they're solid. Steel frame and steel body. Plus you can fit a v8 if wanted. I would definitely suggest a fuel cell in the bed with a snap down cover. It will make it easier to lower it and tub the wheels. Good find Tony. 🎉
Congrats on channel. Stay tuned seems like a keeper
Thanks for the support, appreciate it!
This video was fantastic, it's great seeing a project that is a bridge to far and walking away. I'm Siked for the build..
Thank you Tony once again your post give me hope, while I keep fighting pancreatic cancer, you help me stay focused on wanting to build my 86 Firebird! Can't wait for your content!
Keep rocking man! Excited to see that firebird up and rolling!
"There's a bunch of us but we're all very small" As a small Italian myself, that got me good!
Another great video! Thanks you guys!
Man I can't actually wait to see you guys get that thing done the way you said you want to do it!! That thing's going to be literally Epic!!
So rad that you're back to your own channel. Hell yeah, dude!
Super pumped to see this build!
So glad you guys went this route instead 👏 can't wait to see how this goes!
This is rad! I am so glad you got the truck to build out!!! get on it!!!!
Two things:
Love the fact You & the gang are back here on Your own channel.
And this is gonna be a badass project..
My father in law had a black s10 just like that red one. You could hear every bushing squeaking in it from 1.5 miles away. Excited for this build!
Love the channel and love that you're back! I've noticed over the last few videos that some of the mics sound like they're under water
Really? we will look into it, it's all pretty top end sound gear, I think.
So much YES! DIY sikeclone! Can’t wait for more updates on this thing! Gonna be awesome !
I think you made a great decision, and I'm looking forward to the build. Thanks Tony.
This! Is why I watch your channel Tony! I am a guy with a family and a normal job. Many of the vehicles I find interesting are too much for me. Way to flip the game!
So glad you're back on your own!!!
I forgot about these things. Nice find and great video. Glad to see you staying independent.
Can’t wait to see what you come up with it’s going to be epic
“There’s a bunch of us but we’re all very small” hahaha 😂
This is going to be a cool build. Glad your back on your own channel
Super stoked on this man!!!!
So glad you guys are back on your own channel I enjoyed the other videos but this is better
Hell yeah I can’t wait to see what you guys do!!
This makes way more sense. Nicely done!
Awesome video, keep em' coming
Instantly subscribed when I heard you are doing your own thing, good luck to you mate.
So psyched for this one! Gonna be fun!
Glad you’re back !!!
I LOVE the GMC Syclones, and was still SO glad to see you pass on that basket case!
Can't wait to see what you do with the Sikeclone. (I've been hunting for the transmission and T-case that's behind that 2.8L for years - they are hard to find)
I think this will be a lot more fun for you to work on and us to watch than having to figure out how to restore the truck you didn't buy. Looking forward to more vids!
I love where this is going!
Pumped for this build!
I remember and loved these when they came out
Locked the keys in my Typhoon more than once. Totally agree with not modding a original. Stoked to see what you guys make.
I can't wait to see this build. Awesome truck to start with as well.
Just saw the Facebook post and now I'm here. Good times to be had
So glad to see you back on your own channel. I don't know what happened but I know they lost.
Friggin amaze-balls. Good plan!
Great idea for a build tony. I love the name. Keep it up bud your channel is going great. 🤘
While the Cyclone/Typhoon's are my favorite, I love the route you went! The average American can afford to do that, so that makes it much more relatable. I was drooling a bit over the first truck, but you will be able to beat the snot outta the one you got, without feeling bad.
As soon as I start something I roll down a window so I can't be locked out.
Glad to see you back posting more.
Hell yeah. I’m excited to see this one!!
Real cool you guys showed how to walk away. I don’t think I have ever seen a “car show” go look at a rig and not buy it. It’s hard to walk away.
When I was shopping for my first car me and my dad walked away from at Least 5. Felt like 100 for me.
Subbed and bell clicked.
Thanks for the car content Tony!!
Yes Tony, I am from the UK and these have been my favorite vehicle for at least 15 years. I have been close to buying a typhoon but could not justify it. Now I expect I will never own one. Still, I love these things since riding in one. Giant killer!
You guys are awesome. I had a 1990 gmc gypsy Jimmy with the 4.3 and 5 speed 4x4 it pulled my 26' pontoon with ease. Can't wait to see how the project turns out
Good stuff mate, keep them vids coming
Thanks! We are working away on 'em! Likely Fridays!
Hey Tony!! Glad you have this channel. I used to watch you on HR garage.
Doing the comment thing because I love the content/Tony/crew so much.
My brother was a general manager at a GM dealer and let me take one home for the weekend. All I can say is “what a ride”!😎
Can’t wait to see how it turns out!
I have a mostly stock 1994 S10 Blazer, 2 door, 4x4, 4.3l, 5 speed manual. I love it. It sounds faster than it is, but it is a lot of fun. It always starts, it stops well, it gets me around in the Winter in Wyoming. I did put 3" exhaust and a Magna Flow muffler. I have gone thru it and mechanically it is solid. It has some rust, but it is staying where it was in 2004. I keep it treated.
I was under the impression Motor Trend got 0-60 in 4.9s out of the Sy, the '89 Turbo TA did 0-60 in 4.7s, the GNX ran 0-60 in 4.9s and the GMC Typhoon ran 0-60 in 5.3s. It'd be cool if you fellas swapped either a 4200 Atlas I6 (Nivlac57 style) or an Aluminum block LS (5.3/5.7/6.0/6.2) with a big nasty turbo in that thing. I don't have a lot of love for the 4.3L V6, you might as well go with a stronger platform with more potential for the cost. Excellent choice for the channel, much love. Keep up the good work fellas.
Damn, that's going to be a badass build! Looking forward to it!!!
Two new videos out in the same week! God damn these guys are awesome!
WE are on the hustle! Trying to get back with a bang!
You were sooooo right to walk away. Unfortunately I’ve had to learn the hard way too many times 😂 love the Chanel guys 👍
