Re: what a waste

Is it a coinsadence that its sitting beside two other sports cars? Maybe the manager sets aside vehicles of personal interest till someone gives him a offer for the whole thing?

I was thinking the same thing when this first got posted....still shitty it was CFC. :tdown:

500x_gmc_syclone_clunker.jpg


Nathan B. Adlen, the proprietor of Aadlen Bros. Auto Wrecking, is one of the most experienced auto wreckers on the West Coast. When the Syclone showed up at his shop, he instantly knew what it was.


"It's a Cash for Clunkers [car] that came in, and it's still totally as I [received] it," says Adlen. "It's missing some of the ground effects and a radio, but otherwise, it's a nice, complete Syclone."

Sort of. Because the Syclone is a Cash for Clunkers car, there's one other problem with it: The dealer that took it in trade performed the old legally required liquid glass trick and killed the engine. Adlen is hoping that Syclone owners out there in need of parts will reach out to him, and he's taking advantage of the 90-day extension to postpone destroying it.

Considering that fewer than 3,000 Syclones were built, this is a sad hit to an endangered species. (Remember, too, that many examples of the GMC Typhoon, the Syclone's sister truck, were clunkered.) The Adler Bros. car doesn't appear on the master list of Cash For Clunkers trade-ins, but it's possible that it was one of the forty-eight versions of the 1991 GMC Sonoma 4WD that the program took in.

We hope this is the only Syclone to be clunkered. Help what's left end up in the right hands.

UPDATE According to Bobsmop in the comments:

That's my buddy's Syclone. It had 226k on the clock when he let it go. The rod was basically pushing through the block, it leaked oil and PS fluid from various places like a sieve. He put it on craigs for $500 and couldn't even find a buyer. Oh, and he traded it for something with four seats, since his wife was expecting. Don't judge.

Even if it's true it still hurts, what a great LeMons car.

Re: what a waste

I would love to know when this was on Craigslist for $500. I highly doubt if in fact that was on CL for 5 bones that anyone on .net wouldn't have picked it up no questions asked before the end the same day it was posted. idiots plain and simple......stupid ass f**k-knuckle. :rant:

Re: what a waste

That is just sad. Even with a blown engine and a few $50 dollar power steering hoses it is still a syclone. It still had lots of life and could be restored to its former glory in the right hands.

Yeah he didn't put it up for $500, their are a few people who search CLevery day looking for SyTy's. My opinion is that he put it up for $5000 and had no takers.

X2. At that price the folks who are inclined to part these trucks out at the bat of an eye would have snatched it up and laughed all the way to bank. I like the mentality that rather than sell it for what C4C paid and let someone else enjoy it, it's better to just destroy it since they didn't get what they wanted.
