Default eBay: the last GMC Typhoon ever made - 03-04-2009 , 05:51 PM






AutoBlog http://atu.ca/ebe5a

I happen to be a big fan of the GMC Typhoon and was
probably a little more excited than I should've been when
it was announced that the very last one made, a 1993 model
that's been stowed away in the GM Heritage Collection all
these years, was to be auctioned off at this year's Barrett-
Jackson Scottsdale auction. I waited anxiously the day of
the auction for the text to come in from our live coverage
team. The news wasn't good. The '93 Typhoon with just 130
miles had gone for $52,800 including auction fees. Youch.

I just happen to have an eBay Motors alert set to inform me
whenever a Typhoon goes up for sale on the Internet auction
site, and lo and behold, the very same Typhoon we saw in
Scottsdale showed up there today (eBay:
http://atu.ca/GMCTyphoon ). The seller, who we presume to
be the same person that bought the performance SUV in
Arizona, has a starting a bid of just $10,000, but we're
fairly certain the reserve is significantly higher. We're
not so sure, however, that he or she will be able to recoup
what was spent to procure the Typhoon in the first place,
at least not in this economy. Suffice it to say that if I
were a man of wealthier means, this 1993 GMC Typhoon would
not still be on eBay Motors tomorrow.

I'm looking forward not back, we know how GM has screwed up in the
past but good luck with the
Typhoon hunt
