Never Seen One: 1991 GMC Syclone Marlboro Edition
This 1991 GMC Syclone (VIN 1GDCT14Z3M8802872) is the first example of this model we’ve seen before. These Marlboro trucks started life as normal ’91 Syclones but were then sent to America Sunroof Corporation for modification. Designed by legendary Detroit stylist Larry Shinoda, we’re not sure what the Targa conversion does for structural rigidity in such powerful pick-up, but admit that it looks cool in a period correct kind of way. Find it here on eBay in Phoenix, Arizona for $79,995 OBO.
Syclone prodution was low to begin with, but with just 10 of these conversions made (this example being number six) they’re even scarcer. Marlboro trucks had many unique features, most notably being the bright red paint, white decals and a removable Targa top that can be stowed in the truck bed. Note also the Boyd Coddington wheels.
The truck looks to be in excellent condition throughout, though with under 4,000 miles this isn’t too much of a surprise. The hard bed tonneau is a nice touch and seems to wear well-matched paint.
Marlboro-specific additions continue inside as well, including a Momo steering wheel, Recaro seats, Simpson harnesses, power roll-down rear window, Sony sound system and more.
Internally the engine remains in stock condition, but now exhales through a Borla exhaust system. Suspension is by Belltech, and an aftermarket, programmable engine management system is also briefly mentioned. Unmodified examples are fast enough, and with this one’s likely adjustable boost we imagine it might be even quicker regardless of any structural enhancements necessitated by the Targa conversion.
