by The GMC Typhoon truck with only 688 miles went for $226,000, outpricing a new ZR1.
It shows only 688 miles on its odometer and is one of 99 vehicles in Apple Red color.
The 4.3-liter turbocharged V6 provides 280 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque.
The GMC Typhoon truck has always been one of those rare high-performance vehicles that seemed ahead of its time. But we never really thought we’d see the day one of these vehicles would sell for more than some supercars. That day came just a week earlier.
A particularly well-kept 1993 Typhoon changed hands for an incredible $226,000 on Bring A Trailer. Yes, you heard it correctly — $226,000 for a 32-year-old vehicle. To give you an idea, that’s about $50,000 more than the upcoming 2025 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1. When the Typhoon first came on the market, its starting price was $29,790, which now, with inflation, is about $65,781. So, what makes this GMC so special?
Low Mileage and Limited Production
The main advantage here is very low mileage. This car has only 688 miles on the odometer (1,107 km). And it’s not just any Typhoon — it’s one of only 77 painted in Apple Red, with matching body claddings and wheel arches. Considering that over more than three decades, it has been rarely driven, it almost feels as fresh as it did when it rolled off the assembly line.

Bring a Trailer
The Typhoon’s engine is powered by a turbocharged 4.3-liter V6, producing 280 hp and 350 lb-ft of torque, all sent through a four-speed automatic transmission. A limited-slip differential on the rear axle and a BorgWarner transfer case complete the drive.
This special two-door SUV rides on its original 16-inch wheels. Back when it was just off the line, it could accelerate to 60 mph (96 km/h) in just 5.3 seconds — impressive for a vehicle more likely to make a trip to the grocery store than the racetrack. And yes, many of its main components, including the engine, were directly borrowed from .
Out of the 4,697 Typhoons ever built, only 2,200 were from the 1993 model year. This one on BaT should remind us that low-mileage, high-performance vehicles generally hold their value — sometimes even more than we expected.
