Here's your chance to own a piece of SyTy history with the 1992 Pilot Syclone for sale! Previously owned by former PAS President Chuck Mountain, the truck is being sold on the popular bidding site, Bring A Trailer. Unfortunately, Mr. Mountain passed away in the past year and the title was transferred to his wife and is now being sold through a dealer.
Known as the Prototype/Pilot #001 truck, this particular Syclone has a few features not seen in the production 91 Syclone such as the X-Pattern steering wheel, intercooler cover, and the sleek 92 style electric sport mirrors. These items were all changes to be made for the 1992 production, which never materialized.
With the truck comes a pile of documents, paperwork, and memorabilia that both contains information during production and the story of the GMC Syclone.
The truck has just under 18,000 miles on it. Pictures are showing standard surface rust on the frame, suspension, and exhaust, but overall, the truck appears to be in very good condition given its mileage and history. With some restoration work, it could easily be brought back to pristine condition.
This truck will be interesting to watch on BAT and what its final selling price will be. Not many prototypes remain today, and with only limited information on each prototype/pilot truck, it is hard to put a value on it or compare it to standard production trucks that have previously sold on the BAT website.
We certainly hope that whoever wins the bid and becomes the next new owner will share with us the history and documents so we may further continue to write the story on the Syclone and be able to fill in the missing links and information we always are looking for with the truck’s history. We welcome the future owner to reach out to us directly at sytyregistry@gmail.com
Good luck to all who bid!
