Ok last week i closed the deal on the Syclone that started it all for me. First some background on this truck. This Syclone was originally owned buy a friend of mines father Bill, he purchased it new in 1991. Bill owned a Shell service station and had some very nice cars at the time. He always keep all his toys in pristine condition. I can remember seeing it for the first time when i was 17 years old. I was instantly obsessed with some day owning one for myself. The following year Bill must of inspired his neighbor because he bought a Typhoon. I would ask him questions about it when ever i saw him outside washing it. I loved the idea of having back seats. I told him if he ever sells it to call me id be interested in buying it. Hey we can all dream right!!!. I was 18 and still in high school, i worked at a car stereo shop part time i think i made 150 a week. Hardly enough o buy a 25,000 truck. LOL.
Skip forward 2 years I graduated high school went full time at the car audio shop and was making some decent money. I got a call from my friend that his neighbors Ty was going to get traded in on a caddi. I went an knocked on his door and asked if i could buy it. He told me to meet him at the Cadillac dealership. He would trade it in so i could buy it. Well i did just that!! Thats how i got Typhoon #999 and 23 years later its still in my garage. Dream realized!!
Fast forward to last month i get a call from Bill. (Hey Frank Im looking to sell my Syclone are you interested) Hell yes i said. I went to go look the truck, its been 15 years or so since i seen it last. It was still in great condition then so i figured it be in fair condition sill. Well i was wrong Bill had the truck frame off restored and it looked brand new!! Even though i all ready Owned a bad ass Syclone and a Typhoon I could not resist buying this Truck on the spot. Now i own the truck that got me started and the one that was parked in the garage right next door to it 24 years ago. Crazy Right.
Here is a video of the syclone..
