Some of you might have read that I am in the Autorama at Cobo Hall in Detriot. I have ran across people that have Syclone parts, that have built the Typhoons and info on Jay Leno's Syclone
Where do I start?
Lets start with the GM executive that is the previous owner of Leno's Syclone. This gentlemen's GM division recieved a Syclone in '91. They were doing a project out south and drove the Syclone out there. Somehow they ran into Leno and he offered to buy it straight up. At the time the truck was sold, the executive and others have done some mods to it. It was sold with no mods to the motor. They had added a sway bar, 3 piece toneau{sp?} cover, 17-18 inch rims, took off the decals, put on a shaved tailgate without a handle. I was told the Syclone was sold with practically no miles.
I have the executives email. He said he has the ability to get a hold of Leno too. More updates to come......
I also met another man who installed the motors in the Typhoons at the Pontiac plant in Michigan. I never knew the motors were installed at the plant. I always thought they were installed at PAS. He said they had only 2 mins. to get the motor in the truck.
I also met another man who owns the only extended cab Sonoma GT features on sportmachines.com. He said it was also owned by a GM exec. that used it as a daily driver for a while.
I might possibly have the ability to get a full set of cladding if the price is right.
I will have pics up soon....stay tuned for more updates because there is 2 more full days of the show left. Just thought I would share some info.
