There's plenty of them out there. I'm one of them. However it often comes down to the type of car. If you're looking for great deals on cars that are in really good shape, then it's really hard to be a story seller because buyers cannot possibly understand how much better it is to pay upfront than to pay on the back end. They quote things like KBB values for rare, older cars in amazing condition.

@@leviolson3977 for the right person, it might if the rest of the vehicle is immaculate and unmolested. Want an original 92 typhoon that was red with silver cladding, rust free? 344 others produced. You'd be lucky if 100 still exist in the world. With under 60K on the clock - good luck. Happy hunting. I mean - it's NOT like it's a rare and desirable vehicle. It's not that the truck "can't be worth that" - it just wasn't worth it for Alex's purposes here. The center caps for the wheels alone missing on the black truck will probably cost at least $300 to replace. It takes thousands to really bring something back from the dead - and these trucks were notorious for spinning bearings. So yes - he found one for 10k - but it needs a ton of work (which is good for his channel) but EVERYTHING inside is in rough shape, the motor is a mystery, and it's a TMU vehicle . That's why Channels like these don't really keep running totals of all the costs for everything. When he's done - he likely won't be far off from what the other would have cost (all in) - and it'll still be a stolen recovery with true mileage unknown. Need a reference - go look up what an immaculate 87 Grand National goes for. There were over 20,000 of those - just for that year. Another 5,500 for 86. Another 2,100 for 85. Another 2,000 for 84. 547 GNXs were ever produced. About 4,700 Typhoons were ever produced. EVER. There's probably half that still in existence today, and MOST of those are probably baskets cases sitting around for years - like this one. His goal here - was looking for something to provide content, and that's what he paid for.

Bosch was the better MAF sensor. And MAPs can have a bad vacuum causing Piss poor idle and over all bad performance. Check the fuel reg and proper Resistance on the coil pak. Lots of variables.Good Luck

@@hoggbrothersgarage8804 You're a good guy, Marvin. Sorry to hear about your mother, but I can promise you she passed in a much happier spot than if she was on her own or abandoned in some home somewhere. I see it every single day. She passed happy and knowing her son was taking care of her. May she rest in peace, and may God be with you and give you good fortune. My mom passed recently and she never made it to 60. I wish I could've been there to take care of her, like you did yours.

But the memories of riding in between my parents, singing River of Dreams at the top of my lungs... Priceless

My girlfriend’s friend said it smelled like “period” in the cabin, BUT I DIDNT CARE! The typhoon and Syclone are one of the most iconic trucks ever!

Always loved the typhoon. I live in metro detroit and remember seeing one leaving the dealer back in 93 or 94. When it took off, the rear end squatted, and it was gone! The sound of them turbos was beautiful. Love at first sight. It's good to see Alex fixing it properly. I'm enjoying every step so far.

Man I'm like you, same age, and these were the ultimate bank in the day in my mind. I remember sitting in one of my classes in high school watching videos in lower than 144p video quality on some random website because KZbin wasn't a thing yet and found a video of a Typhoon doing the most insane awd doughnuts I'd ever seen in my life and wanted one ever since. These new classic 90's car videos are my favorite! Keep collecting all the good ones!

That DOT code at 22:43 means that those tires where made in week 43 of either 1989 or 1999. So even if they aren't dry rotted they should be replaced due to their age. They stopped using three digit DOT numbers in 2000, so f.e. if it would have been from 2009 the number would be 4309
