He better 👍🏼
HEY I FOUND A TYPHOON IN BLACK ON AUTOTEMPEST IN BROOKLYN NYC, IT NEEDS WORK BUT I HOPE THIS HELPS 😎👍
It sounds like if he does sell it, you are definitely the top candidate. Another idea if he doesn't want to sell it, perhaps you, him and his son could do the restoration together on the channel🤷♂️
Your next DREAM should be a 20k square heated building. To keep these car in. Value will sky rocket in 20 yrs.
There’s a guy in Florida that is a Wizard for these. There’s a recent video from one of the SXS Blog guy that’s started his own Chanel and took his Cyclone to hi and it halls.😊
Shoutout to the drying towel. Used it for the first time the other day and probably could have dried a couple cars off.
Thanks brother. It's my favorite car cleaning product.
I have never been jealous of anyone in my life. Till now. I appreciate our car collection keep on winning at life brother
How about the guy buying a typhoon and syclone when he was 16? That must've been one he'll of a paper route. Or he was selling weed
@@The_jason1, minimum wage hit better back then. 😂
The cobra made me jealous 😂
@@The_jason1
Yeah his name was walter white..🤣
@@ALCRAN2010 Minimum wage was $4.25 back then. He must have got a nice weekly allowance too lol
You really said “I was built in 1984” like you were in a human assembly line lmao. So excited to see your opportunity to get one of your dream cars
It made me think about myself. I guess I was built in '79.. well technically it started in '78. Ok now I'm overthinking and thinking about stuff I don't want to think about 😖🤣 Thanks for the comment. Made me laugh 😉👍
I graduated High School in 1984, good times. Built in 1966. Libra too.
I was built in 1980. So the Typhoon was on the streets when I got my license.
I was built in 1960. I was a limited edition but didn't have too many factory options. High mileage and unrestored but still running...
I got my drivers license in 1984
As the wife of the owner, I can honestly say, great job on the video. I really enjoyed it. Thank you for taking the time and putting in the effort.
I personally have no appreciation for the Typhoon. If it were up to me I’d sell it for $7 and a pack of gum. The Syclone, I like.
He will never sell it. Sorry.
That's a pity. If he leaves it out in the weather it'll rot to nothing in no time at all, and then nobody gets to see one of these cool old things on the road.
With all due respect, you wouldn't be the first wife to sell off vehicles for pennies on the dollar. My advice to all non-car people: If you end up stuck with a vehicle to sell (inherited or otherwise), please do your research. You're not doing yourself nor your family any favors by selling a vehicle terribly underpriced.
She isn't the owners wife...she is full of it.
@@shouldabeenaborted 😂 whatever you gotta tell yourself.
Your looking at the frame and the body mounts lol, try looking behind those rocker moldings lol
Greetings from Germany,
whilst you were talking with the owner, a beautiful scene occured, that could be described as follows:
When you are passionate about one special vehicle that pulls at your heart strings, a white Bugatti just becomes an unimportant backdrop.
Being a middle-aged man, who has followed your channel for many years, I am very happy for you that you follow and live your passions & dreams.
With kind regards,
TH
What a nice perspective. I absolutely agree with you
I lived in Hanau back in the mid 90s. Greetings from Ohio
204 amg c63s...ended up w 205 instead. My guy gets it...
I use to prep these things for deliveries back when I worked at a GMC dealership back in the day. These things were so special back in the day. The place was also a Pontiac dealer. I got to drive all the special edition trans am's, Firebirds, and Formulas.
That's so cool. I love reading these kind of comments. Although I will never be able to touch or drive these vehicles. I love these videos about 80's and 90's cars and the comments from people's experiences. Thanks for sharing 👍
Nice!! I used to work at a Ford dealer in WI that sold RCode Mustangs, Corbras etc in the early 90s.
Got to drive all the cool stuff at 18 years old!!
@@JohnKaufmann We're lucky that we got to be so close to these vehicles when they were new.
I subscribe to about 50 different car channels an yours is by far the one I appriciate the most. No one is more down to earth than you. I love your videos.
I usually skip thru videos that are longer than 15 minutes, but yours are in a different leauge. I watch every minute, everytime.
Following Alex for years crazy he went from his home garage, to a new shop, an already ready for a bigger shop 😂 good work Alex.
A typhoon yess this will be the build everyone has been waiting on especially with the LSC / Alex touch 😎🇺🇸💪
Word. I would love to see Alex pump this one 😎
For sure, definitely prefer this content vs McLaren, space van type stuff.
20k with a blown engine!! Craziness
NOT HAPPENING
Do you think he will sell it to me?
Yes
I hope so
This says it came out 9min ago,but your comment says 1hr ago,how does that work ?
def
He better!
I just bought the spring car cleaning kit bundle! Thanks for putting together incredible products and car content. Also, I absolutely love the Cyclones and Typhoons!
Quite the roller coaster of emotions during that phone call….truly shows your passion for the hobby!
Love my super jumbo drying towel lol…..and I bought that Amazon under carriage sprayer from a few videos back too-awesome!
SELL IT TO HIM!!! Please, we all need to see this resurrection!!
He won't. It was to much of a memory lane trip. He heard the 16K offer and came up with this "I have to ask my son" BS story.
Gets my vote for best comment... but it's definitely a hard sell. The guy legitimately purchased it at the dawn of his driving. That's a ton of sentimental attachment for $20k to break
I personally like the sound of the LS Porsche better but the fire spitting from the exhaust of the Mclaren......Priceless!
nothing more tacky and cringey than someone just revving up their junk for no reason ... reminds me of squatted trucks with straight pipes
I mean, it's cool in a sense, but the engineer side of myself is disgusted at the waste of unburned fuel.
Keep your head up with those cars Alex! I've watched every video on this channel and LSC2. The main thing I love and that keeps me coming back is your patience and completion of every project. He's going to sell that Typhoon, I can feel it!!
The excitement in your voice is always so beautiful.
Its crazy when you get to the video within the first 10 min and watching the view count and likes update as you watch through the video! Congrats Alex, you deserve all the success!
I love how nomatter the price bracket of the car, a true car guy is a true car guy.
This is great. I just love how excited u get about all the little things about a vehicle.. love the typhoon
Whatever you are doing, whether it goes good or bad (I prefer that it goes good for you but celebrate your victories when a challenge presents itself and you overcome it) I enjoy watching and supporting what you do.
Growing up my Saturday mornings included Power Block TV and you have replaced that. I appreciate your videos so much. I look forward to Saturday mornings when I can relax with a nice cup of coffee and enjoy your weekly Legit StreetCars video on my computer at my desk or my phone if I am out and about. This is also the case (most of the time) when I am not relaxing but working at my desk on Saturday morning after a week that I may have fallen behind in my business or something has popped up that I need to deal with.
Thanks for giving me something to look forward to every week and even being something good to balance Saturday morning. I am not able to relax peacefully with a cup of coffee and have the familiar Saturday morning tradition I grew up with.
Your enthusiasm is so infectious! Love my Saturday morning LSC videos.
A few videos back you mentioned Stacey David, and how you loved his show. Well, not sure if this is by design or not but your videos are basically a 2020's version of that show. Keep up the great work!
Totally agree! I used to watch car shows on TV on weekends years ago... Now I watch UA-cam. That's why we started our own channel too!
Happy for you Alex. I agree in that the Typhoon is one of the coolest “truck/SUV” style vehicles ever made.
Good luck with the Typhoon! It'll make a fine addition to your collection. And the interior is phenomenal! That alone is worth the price of admission!!
I just about peed my pants when I saw the thumbnail this morning! I have been rooting for you to get a typhoon ever since I started watching your channel years ago. I owned a 93 black typhoon and sold it to a cop in Chicago when I was a grad student and couldn’t afford the constant maintenance costs. It was the coolest Daily driver on the road. I share in your disappointment about not completing the sale as of yet, and I urge the owner of the 92 typhoon that you’re interested in to do the right thing and sell it to someone who will cherish and baby it. They are so rare. You realize, however that because of your video you will now spark newfound interest in cyclones and typhoons and cause a worldwide price increase on the remaining examples😅. Good luck on your search.
By the way, that moth ball smell is probably a blown heater core in your passenger wheel well
Car guys are awesome, that conversation was so typical of a car guy conversation even for a prospective sale. Best of luck Alex!
Man there’s a ton of these builds coming back to life ! And i love it ! Even the knock off versions the boosted v6 gm engines are a soft spot in my heart even the boosted 4200s that are coming around more
I grew up in the 90s as well and the Syclone & Typhoon are dream vehicles. I've had 2 S10's, a Sonoma, a Jimmy and I've always loved the S-Series trucks. Hope the deal works out for you.
Literally watching this on my way to Chicago from Las Vegas!
IM 5 SECONDS IN AND AM IMMEDIATELY EXCITED. I love Syclones and Typhoons, my dad and I always talked about turning his square body s10 into a syclone-clone
a sy-clone, if you will
Tony Angelo did just that and documented his build on the Stay Tuned UA-cam channel. Could be the inspiration you need?
Your the man. Just cleaned up my lq9 using your method !! Worked perfect !!
When you can jump on YT and find a creator that ALWAYS makes you laugh and smile, you have found LegitStreetCars! Cheers Alex! Bravo!
Had a coworker that for YEARS daily drove a custom built early 90’s turbo v6 s-10 because he was so in love w syclones/typhoons…
Everything was modified on it, even got some 2nd hand cladding on the sides and an aftermarket steering wheel that looked similar to the syclone/typhoon one to make it look the part, bed was tubbed and huge slicks for the track…well, one day he finally found himself an actual typhoon…
Kinda same scenario, seen it for a while at a shop, he’s a mechanic, owner didn’t wanna sell just had this n that to fix…eventuallly he got the call like 2 years later and bought it
Had it fixed and running within weeks, and I don’t remember ever seeing him drive the s10 again, only ever saw him in the typhoon with a huge grin from ear to ear EVERY DAY
Good luck w that truck if he does sell it
We all know u deserve a win like that, and honestly that color combo is nice, and we know I’ll definitely give that truck the lightning treatment(or pretty close)
The sound of that V8 is AWESOME!! The Typhoon is really cool and I hope the gentleman sells the car to you. Oh and the 911 with the V8 won the rev battle, now if shooting fire was the point then the McClaren would win . . . .
A dream car for me here in the UK and I was lucky enough to get hold of one last weekend . Pick it up from the dealer next weekend . So stoked to see the love for these vehicles . Super super rare in the UK . 🇬🇧
Omg
The CL...again!?!.
Dude, your an absolute inspiration! Because of you, I'm following my dream, and starting my own mobile mechanic business!
I own Typhoon number 237 for 1993 and I can tell you to get rid of every bit of that msd crap. I tried it to because my truck was red. No! That engine is tuned for the resistance of a delphi cap and rotor. Hitachi coil and Delco plugs and wires. They will ping and knock like hell from just a tune up. Oh! Non ethanol Fuel if you have the option
Don't know if you saw it but I sent you a pretty clean one in Melrose park on fb market place while back. As someone else built in Chicagoland in 1984, this channel always checks the boxes 👍
Yes on checking the boxes. Love Alex's channel. He was one of the inspirations for us to start our channel
Alex, I’ve watched most of your videos and we have the exact same taste in cars. I hope and will keep my fingers crossed that you get this typhoon. Good for you brother keep up the great videos.
That interior giving me vibes of my first ride, 90 Chevy S-10 blazer 4.3L - such a great truck, was built like a tank and I never got stuck anywhere in New England.
Alex I saw a Typhoon listed on EBAY currently.Its in more rough condition then this one. However definitely think you could do your thing on it and bring it back around. Much Love keep fire content rolling Brother!!
Well off to ebay I go to see what you are talking about! I hope he gets the typhoon!
I love Saturday mornings when this pop up on my notifications. 😢
Yep! It's not a weekend till I'm watching LSC haha. We upload on Fridays so that people can watch over the weekend. Not on Alex's level though haha
@@RustedRides right lol . Ima check u out
Is Sunday
Reminds me of my first car: 1991 S10 Blazer with a 4.3. Loved it! In the same 2 tone blue/grey
Thank you for all your videos. Sorry to hear about your Mercedes Suspension again. Everyday I will check LSC for updates and if there are none, I will listen to the LSC end tune with my HiFi. Once again, thank you Alex for all your videos.
What's up sideburns. I was trying to sell you my typhoon. It was a great truck. Glad you found one. We'll meet one day.
❤❤❤❤ i had the same color typhoon. Wish i still had it.
Alex, keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the cobra and svt truck fixed. Came for the cdi merc, stayed with you since then.
I really enjoy your enthusiasm! I love cars too, but I liked the 50 and 60's cars and trucks
If alex isn't able to buy this one hes not going to be able to sleep till he gets one now.
Even though the McLaren is bad-ass, Porsche definitely won. Hope you get the Typhoon! The owner will see your work and know it would being going to the best home... you are going to bring it back to perfection!
They both sound great!! The flames 🔥 win.
You have to get the truck. Just awesome. I have an 89 TTA with 8.6k miles all stock and original. Great car.
The latest Cobra video! ua-cam.com/video/9BFvEm8zUtU/v-deo.htmlsi=4D8lKpEx663Qp-Km
Oh man yessss typhoon content!!!
I had a regular 91 S15 Jimmy and I miss it soooo much. That thing was a tank. At the time, I didn't know about the Typhoon. I used to really overload it with merchandise for my parents store and it never complained going up steep hills.
Your videos make my Saturdays so much better 💯 well actually your videos in general just make things better for me.
I don't know why I love the Porsche conversion so much.
I mean it's a porsche, I love them all haha. I just say it wrong like most Canadians
Out of approximately 2200 Typhoons made in 1992, only 28 of them were painted in that color (Aspen Blue), but only 14 are accounted for. I have one... And I love it!
I have to say Ive been a fan and followed you from wayyy back to your ls1tech days building your Transam. I love living through your videos of building many of the dream cars I wish i could have. I feel your passion for the GM icon cars. I hope you land the Typhoon and thanks for being a super informative while entertaining channel. I wish I lived closer, Id love to visit with my home brew 86 T/A turbo ls swap.
Love how he planted the 16K to 20K seed after telling the guy to check out his channel.
I hope you can buy it!
I watch every Saturday and just seeing the title of the video but a smile on my face knowing the smile that would be on yours. Watching from Alberta keep up the good work🤘
Built in 1984, I’m with ya! We’ll be 40 this year, happy early birthday to you, keep up the awesome content yo!
My ideal whip would be to use an extreme and make a clone!
That would be a project I'd follow. I had a similar idea for my channel... Well not that similar but I'd be using an extreme platform for a body swap... Might happen this summer. Got a 69 charger to build first
Can't wait to see the charger build!! I'll be sharing more of my projects as well @@RustedRides
Id rather take a GMC 91 Sonoma square body, two door, swap the astro van AWD trans out of the astro van, put the original rims on it, get recaro seats, center counsel and put the supercharger in. Paint it black with the red pin stripes and youd have the exact truck
Turns up in a 911 to try and get a good deal...
I had a 93 S10 Blazer with a 4.3 at the Tahoe edition with all the amenities and I still miss that vehicle and always dreamed of having a typhoon when I owned it so I absolutely get where the love comes from these I love the square body styles
Oh man Alex, I was excited to see you close the deal when I saw the thumbnail for this video. I’ve been searching for a couple of years for a 1993-1994 S10 Blazer 4 door with 4x4. I check almost everyday. It’s also been a dream truck of mine since I was little. My parents briefly had a 1984 S10 Blazer when I was little and I’ve always loved the body style. It would be cool to bring my future Blazer to one of your car shows down the road after you get your Typhoon.
All talking No action kinda Vlog stuff on this 1
@legitstreetcars I grew up really close to where that was originally sold. Heath, Ohio. I probably visited that at the dealership when I was 12. I'm really happy for you. This is an awesome find. Stinks that the engine needs replaced but otherwise..... amazing 👏
Thank you Alex, best automotive channel. I think your Porsche ls sounds the best 😊
I had a 1992 S-10 Blazer 2WD with a digital dash in High School/College in 2002 to 2005. That was an excellent truck. Easy to fix issues yourself like with the CPI and nut kit.
That truck was a smooth ride and drove excellent. I even drove 120mph for 45 min straight down I-65 with it all the way to Purdue.
I would install the Digitial Dash in that as the 1st thing I do.
I would also install an original delco tape deck radio with bluetooth added.
I was definitely watching another video and saw this had to stop what i was doing immediately LOL my project isna typhoon cant wait to start working on it! Good luck getting this gem
Alex you literally buy and own cars I would 100 percent have in my own collection. Typhoons are so much cooler than the Cyclones imo. 😊
I worked at a grocery store in HS and the pharmacist that worked there owned both and they have stuck in my mind ever since
I seen power nation do a c1500 build. Converting the 4x4 to the awd transfer case to make it a full time awd. Then a built engine with a lowered suspension. It was a pretty cool build for a diy street truck.
It’s also amazing the condition you find these cars. This one, the interior looks mint.
Good luck man, hope you get it!
This is how i geeked out over my two....240Z cars I owned in 1989 and 1991 and yes I raced these Typhoons, Cyclones, 5.0s Vetts and Grand Nationals every chance I got
Dude!! That's my phone with the "OtterBox" cover!!! Had it a year. Love it.
Alex your content is incredible for us nostalgic car guys. Congratulations buddy 👏
I hope he sells you this, (pretty sure you have to jump up the offer to get him into it) it would be amazing to see you restore this thing, I love your attention to detail and the quality of your work. Keep it up bro!
All made sense when you explained at the end ofthe video, why you have so many unfinished projects on the go and we never see a completed series. I enjoyed this week’s video and sorry to hear about the ABC on the CL65. ❤
Dude! I didn’t realize you sold detail towels! Awesome! I’ll check it out!
You deserve this car because you're the most passionate car guy on you tube. Continue with the great content 👌
That McLaren engine sounds heavenly, hearing one up close in person is unreal. Also great video, my dad has been on the fence about selling his typhoon too but still hasn’t decided, it’s an all black so not a cool color.
the best blazer/jimmy body style made miss my 94.. 4 door so much glad you got it !!!
Alex I’m praying for you to get the Typhoon, 1984 was a good year!! Good luck 🍀
I love the sound from both but Alex that custom exhaust is my favorite!
I remember when the GMC Cyclone came out I was around 22-24 I can't quite remember exactly, But I was in love with that thing and the even more practical for me Typhoon. I used to dream of shipping one over to the UK.
But I could never afford to do it, Then I got a Skyline and got side tracked by Nissan's, I ended having a few Gti-R's I still own one now which are a bit faster than the Typhoon and right hand drive.
I am SO bummed!! I was genuinely excited for this project, hoping for the best!
I love S-10s ever since I had an S-10 blazer. A Typhoon has always been a dream car of mine.
Thanks, I really appreciate your content. Cheers me up and we all need that.
I remember in 1993 my uncle bought one white with black leather I loved that suv one of my favorites
I had a syclone, the offset and size of zr1 wheels fit perfectly.
I'm with you on this one, I've always wanted one of these. They were just amazing vehicles. Fingers crossed for you!
I had a 1992 Two Door Chev Blazer with the 4.3L. Had the digital dash… which was going bad… it was however one of my favorite SUV’s. That truck went through everything! Easy and cheap to maintain. Eventually I was rear ended by a high school kid on the highway and the Blazer was totaled by his insurance. I miss that SUV. I continued what the previous owner did changed the oil every 1,500 - 2,000 miles as it was so easy to do - oil filter was relocated to the fender. Took like 15 minutes start to finish cost me maybe $15 in oil and OEM filter.
We love you Alex and let the Ls come they do make for good content. I hope you do get the typhoon it's amazing. I cant wait for more and I hope to see more of you and Hamilton collection
The Syclone and Typhoon have been on my wish list for a very long time. I love the dark green Typhoon.
When i was growing up my step dad had a white turbo v6 trans am that looked exactly like the one you showed in the picture. He let me drive it on dates when i was 16. I loved that car and wish it was still around
I had the exact body style 91 blazer that was white and gray. I loved that thing .
