New project! The "Red Herring"

[JJorgensen52]

Jim and Doug, you're in the right church but the wrong pew And yes, Syclone and Typhoon were both 4.3 turbos with AWD.

This one's a Sonoma GT ... the rarest of the three, shares a lot of cosmetic parts with the Syclone and Typhoon. It's the rarest of the S10 special editions with one year production of 806. 2WD with the CPI 4.3 V6. Basically a ZQ8 before there was a ZQ8.

I've played this game before, my Dad bought a Typhoon new which I frame off restored with him in highschool, I owned it for some years and had a lot of trouble with it and sold it to buy my Wildcat. I also had a Sonoma GT at that time with a 5 speed swap - it was a great little daily and a hoot to drive, I regretted selling it so when I saw this one I snapped it up. It's going to be a low buck LS swap build - I'm collecting junkyard bits for bigger brakes and such, and once the Red Herring is done I'll start looking for a motor and trans.

Here's a few shots of the last one I had:





I had to do sway bar links and control arm bushings on the daily today, but I'm just getting wrapped up putting a rear hanger on Red, so back to your regularly scheduled thread here shortly
