NEW PRICE - $8000! Delivery available for whatever it costs me to drive it to you, anywhere in the country!! I NEED TO SELL THIS!
For sale is my 1993 Typhoon with 124K miles. I really don't want to sell it, but its the right move for me right now. Quick rundown on the history.
I bought the truck about 3 years ago. It was originally a white truck, but at some point it was painted a dark silver. About 2 years ago, the right rear quarter was hit by a semi on the freeway, so that was replaced. At that time I had the entire truck repainted very close to the silver that I bought it with. The color now is Lexus IS300 dark silver metallic. It looks very nice and was a 4500 paint job/repair. I have a copy of the work order and pictures of the damage if interested. The only place you can tell it was originally a white truck is the fire wall. All door jams, ect have been painted. Came out looking like a factory paint job, I was very happy with it. It still looks like new paint today, with only a couple very small blemishes. Anyway, I eventually grew tired of the truck, and traded it to a fellow board member for a drag Chevy 1500 pickup. I never got into the pickup, and really wanted my Ty back, and the owner of the ty wanted his truck back, so we worked out a deal for a trade-back about 6 months ago. Anyway right now the truck has a clean Florida title that is in my name.
The truck has been in California and Nevada 95% of its life. It is VERY clean and RUST FREE. Its one of the nicest 93's Ive seen.
As far as I know, the motor is original. It has 124K on it, and still runs great! It has the typical shot valve seals so it smokes a bit on start up, uses about a quart of oil ever 3K miles.
The transmission has about 1K miles on it at the most. It has a mild shift kit and a corvette Governor, along with upgraded bands. Shifts great! Front end has all new bushings, and a new pitman arm.
Mods list:
RPM Upper Intercooler
Aluminum Lower Exchanger on custom hangers
Re-routed IC lines
Super high flow Meziere IC pump
Blitz BOZ mounted on Stainless up-pipe
Stock DP to 3" gutted cat through 3" turbo-style muffler dumped before rear axle.
MSD 6A Spark box
Ultimate chip with pillar gauge
Vac/Boost gauge on A-pillar
Deep sump transmission pan
"Monster" rear sway bar
Poly front sway bar bushings
Converted to a Ford-style starter solenoid to get rid of the dreaded "starter click".
K&N air filter
Lowered about 2" front and rear
Solid motor mounts
Bazooka-style subwoofer in the back
Has a very nice Clifford alarm installed although I have never tried it.
Right rear corner cladding is an aftermarket fiberglass piece
That's all I can think of at the moment.
I was told the truck made 215AWHP and 410AWTQ with a clogged cat on pump gas on the T218 setting on the ultimate. I don't have sheets to confirm this. I ran it once at the track, out of 3 passes the best I could manage was a 13.4 @ 99mph. With anything more than a 5PSI launch, it would not hook and kill the 60' times. With some better tires it should be a 12.xx truck no question, on the stock turbo. I have the slip from this run if interested.
Interior is very nice. No tears in the leather, no cracks in the dash. No one believes its a 93 when they see it.
Current issues that need addressing:
Front windows do not work very well. I believe its a motor problem, although I was told they were replaced right before I picked it up. May also be a switch issue. Not sure. Ha vent looked into it, I just use the A/C.
The center console has a broken hinge, and the CD player does not work.
The rear bumper has about a silver dollar size spot of paint missing. I will post a pic of this later. Its not very noticable.
Engine has a bit of a rough idle. It has done this ever since I have owned it. The MSD seemed to help. Only seems to do this when its warm. I also notice the Ultimate indicate knock when its warm out. I believe its just crappy gas, as it goes away with 100 oct fuel. Its not that bad and I cannot hear it, I just notice the red LED on the gauge blink.
Also the Ultimate has been acting up. It still works great, however it switches programs whenever the truck is turned off.
Besides that, the truck is tip-top. Once of the nicest you will find with the miles, or even with lower miles for that matter. Does not leak anything!
Its located in South Florida, Delray Beach to be exact.
A couple current pictures (will take more tomorrow, just wanted to get this thread started)

Please PM, Email me at shostang at gmail . com or call me at 775 - 225 - one-one-five-nine with any questions. Truck is must-see in person to appreciate how clean it is
Price is $10K OBO.
Please no trade offers or lowball offers. If it doesn't sell for close to this I will simply keep it and enjoy it. I am not in a pinch to sell it so I will no be lowballed. Just stating that up front. Thanks and feel free to ask any questions. More pictures to follow. If you would like a picture of anything specific, please let me know and I can get it for you.
Also, if we are able to work out a deal within the next 10 days, I may be able to deliver the truck on the eastern seaboard between south Florida and Connecticut for a small fee. I am heading up to Limerock raceway on the 15th, and have an extra spot in my trailer for the Ty if needed.
