1992 Typhoon WHITE WITH GREY
Truck came from Arizona then Nevada, (have paperwork and owner history to prove) I had it shipped here last year. She has Just under 100K (cluster replaced due to non operational coolant temp and oil pressure gauges, and incorrect tachometer and speedometer)
I rescued this truck from a state of neglect. I purchased the truck non/ barely running and in poor condition, the interior was destroyed. Since I have owned it I have replaced or preformed the following modifications.

Both interior door handles replaced
Power train
Fresh Tune - Cap, rotor, plugs and wires. Taylor wires, NGK ur5 plugs, fuel filter Both PVC valves correct GM pieces
Replaced positive and negative battery cables, custom “power cell” installed to replace battery (smaller and lighter)
Starter cables rerouted and heat shielded to prevent problems
Alternator upgraded to larger 140 amp with the GM CS-144 case (more reliable) new wire from Alternator to battery for proper charging
Water pump replaced with Edelbrock High flow aluminum. All belts and hoses replaced
New 195 degree thermostat installed. Water outlet powder coated clear to prevent corrosion
Astro van 7 blade fan installed. Better cooling and quieter also lighter to reduce wear on water pump

Custom chip, deleted EGR and drivability, not a performance chip.
Cold air intake due to cracked factory system

Chrome rear diff cover
Fuel pump upgraded to Walboro 155
Transmission was rebuilt by previous owner about 4k miles ago shifts nice and firm
Headlamps converted to H4 bulbs for better nighttime driving.
Rear window wiper has been deleted, for better cosmetic appearance. Can be reinstalled if buyer chooses all wiring remains
Truck runs and drives excellent as I have repaired and upgraded all the common problem areas on the truck to make it as problem free as possible. Does need some exterior work as it is a 16 year old truck Dent in RH (small)rear corner and the cladding (body kit)will need to be refinished, the Roof rack was removed but can be easily bolted back on.
9000 willing to trade for 3rd gen camaro in similar condition
