metalmonkey47 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 sometimes I find videos of that car running then turn the sound up real high. Then I come. That exact car was parked at Mazmart down 20 minuets from my house for a private viewing that I missed. Didn't know it was there until it was gone. 1956 or 57 Alfa Romeo Giulietta Sprint Normale (aka 750b)... nice :-) Yessir! :thumbup: One of my all time favorites. Those bodylines are just dazzling.

DAT510 Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Had one those^ Because of it I got hooked on turbos. I love The unmistakable Sound of the turbo spooling up as you grab on for dear life. Quote Link to comment
Dat Lurka Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 Man I've only seen one in my life and it was for sale last year. 14k$ Absolute monster of a truck right off the lot! Quote Link to comment
ArchetypeDatsun Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I almost bought a syclone in 2008 dealer wanted $20k and I had a 00 Cadillac Seville STS that I wanted to trade for it but then thought about it and didn't wanna get in debt lol. Bad ass truck test drove the hell out of it if I would of bought it the first thing I would have done is race my brother in his old Sti and smoke it. Quote Link to comment
DRIVEN Posted November 5, 2012 Report Share Posted November 5, 2012 I can't choose a "most beautiful ever". I can't really even do a top 3 but here are 3 I've always liked from a purely cosmetic standpoint. 2000GT Muira Vallelunga (Pantera's grandpa) 1 Quote Link to comment

aintnobiscuit Posted November 14, 2012 Report Share Posted November 14, 2012 Forgot about this too... i think i like the styling so much because when i was a kid these were the "really fast" cars... Quote Link to comment
hUmBoLdT_HooV Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 GMC Syclone I almost T-Boned one of those last week in my 510, the idiot pulled out in front of me and obviously couldn't find the gas pedal. Oh and my most beautiful car has to be this. Ive always wanted one since the first time i seen one at a car show as a kid. Quote Link to comment
aintnobiscuit Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 damn, i've never even seen a syclone in person. I just know back when i had a starion you could use the turbo off that as an upgrade. I remember one of the other starquestclub guys put a td05-20g one one with and clipped the compressor wheel and it was insanely fast... like skyline fast. Something like consistent 11s in the 1/4 mile... its been a long time though. Quote Link to comment
DAT510 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 My dad had a Tyhpoon, the Syclone's coutnerpart. Same 4.3 Turbo engine. Jeeeeeez, The thing was reaaaaaally fast. Also included is my brothers '72 Dart Swinger, Slant 6 and btw he's 12. BASTARD. And my uncles speedster, built by Vic Sala, a local speedster hall of famer. This was sadly his last one as he passed away not too long ago. The Tranny, a Borg Warner! 1 Quote Link to comment

flatcat19 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 That BorgWarner box is a transfer case. BW makes damn near every American-equipped TC. Quote Link to comment

mrmark Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I was in the Navy in '92 and a Concord, CA dealer had a brand new leftover '91 syclone that they wanted to sell me for $22,000. I passed on it and got a '91 Z28 for $13,000. The syclone woulda been a better fit in my life at that time but the extra coin was hard to swallow. Quote Link to comment

HRH Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Syclone/Typhoon may be fast, but it's still a shitty S10 chassis. I don't see it, but then I hate Chevy Luvs and Toyotas. ;) 1 Quote Link to comment
