Last month, the buyer of a cheap GMC Syclone discovered his new classic pickup was in fact stolen. Rather than try to cover his tracks, he found the original owner and got the truck home, but it cost him thousands of dollars.

the GMC Syclone community rallied to repay him for his kindness. 

They did this not just by recouping his funds over GoFundMe, but by finally getting him into a Syclone of his own.

The story has a happy ending," said George Bowman, who was the original owner of one of the less than 3,000 Syclones built, and he sold his to the guy that got ripped off. And cut thousands off his asking price to make the whole issue straight.

Did you hear of the Saudi Syclones? Didn't sell so they shipped them back to GM, who then sold them by lotto to GM employees

Similar to the GN these turbo charged V6 all wheel drive beasts spanked everything around when they rolled out of GM in 1991. Even the Vette lost.

They only made 2,995 trucks, and Car and Driver recorded it's 0-60mph sprint time of 4.3 seconds - quicker than any Ferrari or Corvette available. 113 of the 2,995 Syclone trucks were shipped out of the country as export sales. 31 of those export sales were returned unsold from Saudi Arabia to the GMC facility in Pontiac, Michigan. These were referred to as the "Saudi" Syclones. 30 were sold at lottery to GMC employees and one was used for parts.

and it only sold for 17 thou at auction

Cars and Coffee / Breakfast at Balboa, San Diego's Balboa Park once a month Sunday morning get together.

This mustang Gt 500 is in front of the AC Cobra, and I took these photos to show how oversized the Mustang is... and that's a lot of wasted space. The AC is only as long as the cut off Mustang image below. 1/4 of the front fender to the rear bumper.
