guys, would you cut this kid some slack. I met him at a gas station, noticed his car and WELCOMED him to our community.

This is his first car, and I remember how proud I was when I had my 84 Coug. Let's try to be nice please.

Thank you


Ok, I'm done.  Some asshat comes in either mocking us or speaking ebonics and...

the hell with it. :whatever: :shoothead
"lol.. because not too many people care for that style of car"

According to Wikipedia, 3,000 Syclones were made, and a little over 4700 Typhoons were made...

Rare? oh yeah...to see one fall to the C4C bullshiznit?
shaging priceless. Sometimes I have no use for ignorant-assed legislation...this is one of those times. :toilet:

Then again....the former owner probably didn't maintain it, drove the piss out of it, and let fall apart. Sad thing is, we all knew it ran... :flame:

The are now incredibly rare. I have never seen a Syclone either. There is a local guy who owns a Typhoon, but that is the only one I have seen also.

I didnt know they were that rare!
US people saying they have never seen a Syclone ...
The person who traded the syclone in should die.
And the person who traded in the Typhoon should rot in hell!

I saw a typhoon once.

It may have been a small half second glimpse, but i remember turning around going "what the hell did that dude put in that blazer" and remember asking "what the hell is a TYPHOON?

all they do is blow the motors then the salvage yards get to bid on them at auction. Still its a waste of good cars. My misses has a jeep cherokee that needs alot of work and ive seen 10 or so that are in ALOT better shape(no rust,dents, ect) and there low mileage. And they say there doing this for fuel. Her's gets close to 400 miles to 1 tank of fuel

i was sad to see an 83-86 bird patiently waiting in line at my local ford dealer....i couldn't tell what year specifically because it was waay behind the fence. I called and asked for the front clip, and the dealership tells me they don't even own the cars, that they're instantly sold the moment they come in.

So there might be a chance for the Syclone and the Typhoon?
Or is it all gone?

Bringing this thread back from the grave...

The U.S. government has just posted its final listing of all traded-in vehicles for the C.A.R.S./Cash for Clunkers program.
(click the link above to download a copy)

The final results as they pertain to us:

Thunderbird
1984 16
1985 61
1986 78
1987 2
1988 13
1989 20
1990 37
1991 76
1992 95
1993 148
1994 419
1995 940
1996 557
1997 598
2005 1

Cougar
1984 8
1985 40
1986 36
1987 1
1988 51
1989 11
1990 8
1991 45
1992 27
1993 65
1994 199
1995 420
1996 219
1997 319
1999 1

Bottom line: not so bad for the Foxes, a substantial loss for MN12's. Only 67 Fox Cats and Birds from 1987-88 were lost, and 239 from 1984-86. So a little over 300 cars gone, in TOTAL, from 1984-88, for both Thunderbirds and Cougars. Guess it wasn't as bad as we'd feared, although those are still 300 fewer cars from which to pull parts.

Other misc. cars--and it's a real shame that they're all gone:

BMW 635csi 1989 13
BMW 850i 1992 1
BMW M3 1991 1
BMW M5 1991 1
Buick GNX 1987 1
Buick Riviera Convertible 1984 1
Buick Riviera Convertible 1985 19
Cadillac Eldorado Convertible 1984 4
Cadillac Eldorado Convertible 1985 22
Chevrolet Monte Carlo 1988 22
Ford Mustang 1984 18
Ford Mustang 1985 48
Ford Mustang 1986 100
Jaguar XJR 1995 5
Jaguar XJR 1996 4
Laforza 1989 1
Laforza 1990 2
Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme Classic 1988 31
Rolls-Royce Continental R 1997 1
Pontiac 20th Anniversary Trans Am 1989 1

And we know of at least the one GMC Syclone and one GMC Typhoon.
