wouldnt that put an tycy owner in the same boat as a thunderbird as far as just maintaining it stock?  i would imagine with all of the turbo stuff floating around modifying a typhoon wouldnt be that hard... a pian yes, but do able.  a cyclone (typhoon is turbo and cyclone is supercharged correct?) would be a different horse.


They both have the same engine(4.3 turbo) but no other gm car had this setup. Turbo coupe guys use a lot of mustang stuff-With my experience the bird is cheaper to keep. Besides comparing the Typhoon to the Tbird I can get more for my Truck. Besides when it sells I just may do something crazy and buy something else. I have a dollar or 2 floating around-Some may remember I was selling my Lincoln MKZ a while ago-well it sold and now I need to sell my truck  I think I feel another impulse purchase in my near future.:evilgrin: Don't worry my Ford fans the Mustang and the Tbird are staying with me!! Interesting thing just recently happened-one of my best friends just got a job at a ford dealer selling cars and he's putting all kind of crazy thoughts in my head. Maybe I'll follow behind thundr306. I have a 1997 GMC Sierra pickup truck that qualifies for the cash for clunkers program-I'm going to the dealer real soon and see what I can pick up.

If I were you, i'd really not sell that Typhoon. As uncommon as nice TC's are getting to be, think how much more rare the SyTy's are!!!

Don't do it man, you'll always kick yourself in the ass...




I'd trade/sell ALL of my Tbird stuff right now for a Typhoon...I imagine a lot of us here probably would as well.

And I'm not by any stretch a GM guy ;)


I'd take a TC over a Typhoon any day.  Different strokes for different folks though.

i've never met a car enthusiast that didn't say they wanted a typhoon or cyclone.  NEVER.


I don't want a Typhoon or a Cyclone....Nothing against GM in that statement.  I don't want a Lightning either.  I respect them for what they are, but they just don't do it for me.


IMO you're making the right decision by putting it up for sale.

Here's a pic of my bird from this weekend. It looks good but I still need to do the whole suspension over, I want to do the seats over and a list of other things. At least with the t-bird we use a lot of mustang components with the Typhoon this is not the case-practically everything is Typhoon or Syclone specific. I can't continue on the bird and put this truck together-The truck is just too expensive. OK know you know my sob story-who wants a test drive now:D


Nice wheels!

Sure you don't want to come and buy my chassis.....
