Lifted Typhoon?

Typhoon
I know there is that red typhoon with a lift kit.. but today I saw a blue 1st gen Jimmy at the Kalamazoo, MI Hot Rod Power Tour stop and when I got up close I noticed something...

A full Typhoon interior; seats, console, leather panels, glovebox w/ sticker, etc.

It had a V8 engine, and I looked for cladding mount, but since it was repainted I'm sure they cleaned them up if it were a real Typhoon..

I tried to look at the VIN but the windshield had a thick black border around it plus the power tour sticker was blocking the view aswell. The doors were locked as well so I couldn't see in for more detail.

Re: Lifted Typhoon?

its not a typhoon dashboard...just the glove box door. Well the cluster bezel sure looks like a normal jimmy bezel anyway.

Looks like Autometer gauges in a SyTy bezel to me :dunno: You can even make out the fog light switch

*edit, I'm an idiot. It is a standard non-syty bezel

It appears that the forgotten id is in about the same spot in that pic as the camera man in the last pic, shame to leave your kid in the middle of the road while you go take pics of a maybe ty! :rotf:

Def looks like a standard S/T Series dash board (or at least cluster bezel). Our's goes over the dash pad, the standard S/T Series goes under.
