Nice price for that truck, Greg. Do you know if the 2.8 has been rebuilt/replaced recently?

I was told it was rarely used. It does say gypsy on the dash and it looks like legit gm badging. I asked them they said its the 5 speed with buckets and console and air conditioning and i think the sun roof. Again thats what I've been told and I have yet to research it.

Doesn't seem that way Aaron, but its a second owner and by mostly older people there son started the mini truck effect, but lost his eyesight due to an illness and couldn't do much more. The engine seems OK I drove it a bit and let it run a bit to make sure it didn't overheat. I just kinda fig if it goes, I'll but the kit and put my 305 out of my bird into it...

And Mike.... nope I'm selling the Daytona in the next 3 months so no car lot here, yet Laughing

btw you still have that T5 on your property ?

I've seen a full size van about the same year with "Gypsy" badge on the side. The same way it would say like Vandura, or Scottsdale for a truck. It might be legit. lol

The Gypsy got a special interior that was similar to the Syclone's. (The Gypsy predates the Syclone, so technically the Syclone's interior is like the Gypsy's.)

The door panels got the same treatment, and I've heard they were the first S-10 pick ups to get bucket seats in them.

yup got it Mike thank you. Sorry for the lack of response but i got kinda caught up in classes and been doing little touch ups on the truck. I see that they took down the ad so I'll post up a pic for those who haven't seen.
