It would be a lot more rare if it still had the factory wheels.

Less than 5k made and only for 2 yrs. Pretty rare... not crazy rare, but nice sighting none the less.... now a Syclone would have been better.

If you can't appreciate one of these, or it's truck sibling... You're not a car guy...

And no, a cherokee wouldn't touch that thing..

rare to see one that doesn't look like it is about to fall apart, at least around here. The ones I've seen were total beaters, probably handed down and sold and resold too many times.

TRUTH!!!

Some folks assume it's a plain old S-10/15.....

A former coworker traded in his immaculate IROC z28 for a Syclone. Got to ride in it a couple times....

Hoe

Lee

Crap!!!!!

For those that have never seen one....

hey if you ever see one for sale let me know .. It might be easier to find one to restore than find one in the condition that the OP posted.

Very unappreciated vehicles. The syclone can out do a ferrari 348tb up through 85mph. Not too many vehicles from that time can claim that. I've seen a couple of each (syclone and typhoon) and they are definitely BA vehicles.

although they may be rare because of the guts that came directly from the factory....but id still prefer to have the earlier generation blazer
