Model overview

Model description

Momentarily inspired to build a hot-rod pickup, GMC released the Syclone in 1991. Based on a Sonoma regular cab truck, GMC had Production Automotive Services heavily modify the Sonoma’s optional 4.3-liter V-6, most notably by adding a turbocharger and intercooler to boost power to 280 hp. Speculation runs rampant that true output was much higher. All-wheel drive helped put the power to the pavement, and a tuned suspension helped the truck better handle its newfound muscle.

The Syclone became the fastest pickup truck in the world upon its introduction, and the truck was actually quick by any standard. Enthusiast magazines recorded quarter-mile times in the 13s and blistering 0-60 times of 4.6 seconds, and pitted the Syclone against various sports cars of the day. The Syclone also lays claim to being the first production pickup truck to be outfitted with four-wheel anti-lock brakes.

Only 2,998 GMC Syclones were produced, 3 of which were 1992 models. All are menacingly blacked out, save for 2 of the 1992 models, and 10 Marlboro Syclones were modified as post-production contest giveaways, with these special editions wearing red paint and a Targa-style roof.

Today the GMC Syclone is popular among performance truck fans as it is one of the fastest production trucks to ever be produced. Marlboro Editions carry a big premium over standard Syclones due to their rarity, and documentation is mandatory for one of these unique models.

Many factors can increase a car's value including excellent condition, exceptional originality, a recent restoration, low mileage, unique provenance, desirable options, popular or unique color choices, and excellent maintenance records. Upgrades and modifications that enhance performance or aesthetics can also add value.

Factors that can decrease a car's value include unusually high mileage, poor maintenance history, visible wear and tear, accidents or damage, title issues, and gaps in ownership history. Additionally, less popular color choices and extensive modifications that don't appeal to a broad audience can reduce value.

Mileage plays a significant role in a classic car’s value. Lower mileage usually increases value because it indicates a higher degree of originality, is rarer, and suggests less wear and tear. However, cars with exceptionally low mileage may also have maintenance needs due to lack of use. Whether someone should pay more for a vehicle with lower miles will depend on how they plan on using it, and the vehicle's specific condition.

The value of modified cars differs widely based on the type and quality of modifications. While some modifications can significantly increase value, especially performance enhancements and high-quality custom work, others may not add much or could even detract from the car’s value if they appeal to only a limited audience.
