Clean looking truck! That is what I was looking for before I got my GN:( . I wanted a fast family hauler. Did you ever take it to the track? How fast has it been clocked at? I still have a soft spot for those. Maybe in the near future. I can only hope.:D

I have never taken to the track thought about it but four tires hooking on a sticky surface makes me wonder what will break.I hav enough problems with a broken gn,don't need a broken typhoon.Besides it is my wifes car so i drive it when we go to shows other then that i am the repair man to keep it running,and in reliable shape.Unlike my gn that i beat on and it broke more then driven.
 
Man if I had the cash Id be on this! Nice Ty Should sell pretty fast.
Just screaming alky kit and a little more boost lol. Id put in the high 11's and 4 nice nitto drags on all 4 would hook on ice lol. Buddy has one similar and it went 12.02 with no burnout and hooks like a car climbing a tree!

I would love to race it but like sad i am afraid to break it being i am tring to sell it.But just how it responds on the street it hooks great.I hope it sells soon i got other projects that are waiting to get in to the space this is taken up.
 
What is the extent of the motor build? I am pretty local, and may be interested (Appleton,WI). No rust? Do you have the original wheels? Also, more pics would be great. Thanks for your time.

Zero rust on body ,the normal surface rust on frame and stuff underneth truck.Do not have original wheels it had vette wheels on it which looked horribl.These wheels were put on this spring along with two tires so could rotat them etc.Motor buil was just new bearings ,rings gaskets etc.nothing extream ....send me an email to send pics to or come look at it trust me pictures don't do it justice...
 
love the track man. You can get these into the high 10's on good gase and a few upgrades and still be daily driven, go get groceries and take kids to soccer practice. Love it, good luck
