ck GMC Typhoon #1438 of 2,500 Quickest/Fastest 4.3L Typhoon in Colorado. ~500whp on 91 octane.

Only time slip at Bandimere (5,300+ft above sea-level) was 12.25 @ 107.81 w/a 60' of 1.71 on a bad ignition module that has since been fixed. I'm pretty sure it has 11's in it at this elevation which would be awfully close to 10's at sea-level. Keep in mind it did this on pump gas and all season tires and in full street trim which is 4,200lbs with me in it. In other words, it's one of the few vehicles that will run the exact same time on the street that it did on the strip. I've owned and been in many fast vehicles and this is by far the fastest out of the hole and even gives my street bikes a run for their money w/0-60 blasts in the 3 second range.

The reason for the sale is because I don't drive it much and can't justify it just sitting. Someone will get more use out of this than me and give it a good home. No day dreamers or tire kickers and no lowballers. This is one of the most solid cleanest Typhoons in existence so if I don't get what I want for it then I keep it. So, serious inquiries only. It would cost twice the asking price to bring any other Typhoon up to it's level. The engine has about 3k miles on it since the build including the drive back from MN where I purchased it. I have TONS of pictures of the build as well. I reserve the right to pull the sale at any time should I decided to keep it unless there is a deposit and I will NOT hold it w/o a deposit.

Yes. The A/C could be put back in and I have all the parts in a box for this (it's possible that a couple smaller parts might be missing but pretty sure it's all there) but I'm the type of person that gets REAL hot and I've driven this thing in stop and go traffic in 100 degree weather and it's actually fine. I was surprised how cool this thing stays and thought I was gonna be putting the A/C back in but decided it wasn't needed. It's not my daily driver though so you might decide differently but I would say to try it as is first and you might save yourself some work.

did you see it?
drive it?
how fast in the 1/4 do you think?
please rate paint/body 1-10?
interior? thanx

Nobody has driven this truck other than me since I've owned it. I'm very particular about my vehicles and don't let ANYONE drive them ever. This is also why I do all my own work because I don't like letting shops drive my vehicles.

The 1/4 mile time has already been posted above.
 
How do I edit my original post or at least the title??

Due to developing an oil leak and not having the time to address it I've lowered the price to $15,900!!! Not sure what the leak is but $600 will MORE than take care of it even if you pay someone else to do it to avoid getting a single finger dirty.
