Clint Eastwood mentions his Ty

[SYO237]

Last night on the Tonight Show, Clint Eastwood was a guest and made quick mention that he drives a GMC Typhoon.

That's pretty cool! I've never seen it parked at the studios though. Clint has his own building on the Warner brothers lot but I've never ran into him either. From what I gather however, he's not the friendliest man. I know Jay Leno has a syclone but he's always driving a steam car, a jaguar and on occasion an old side car motorcycle lol

Very cool. I'm surprised he still has it.

He's had a few. I found #0195 years ago at a dealership with his studio paperwork in the glove box. Lost track of the truck after it left the lot.

The fact that he talks about in 2016 and that he probably has other cars he drives and could have listed, is very impressive.

Very cool. I like ole Clint. They should have used a syty in Gran Torino instead of a ****in Gran Torino. Of course they would have had to change the name:lol:

Not sure, looks like a green/grey to me.

That clip does look like a green/grey. Is that the only time it's shown in that movie?

Wonder who wrenches on it. I'm guessing a dealership, which would be surprising that it still runs if that were the case...

I would be very surprised if he doesn't have his own mechanic shop (or mechanic) that does work on all of his vehicles.

If I had any chance of running into him, I would approach him about SyTy's.

I bet (given the mention on Fallon) that he would be totally open to talking about it and perhaps somehow making a connection with this community (hmmm..show up at a SoCal gathering?). When celebrities are approached about things "other" than autographs, they tend to open up if you have a connection.

Keep an eye out for him. He has his own production company but lives in Carmel, so not sure how much he's on the lot.
