Editing GMC Syclone (section)

=== Saudi Syclone ===
During the 1991 Syclone production, roughly 150 Syclones were officially exported by GMC. Out of the 150 trucks, there were an estimated 113 destined for resale in the Middle East and were modified with a metric dash cluster, leaded fuel chip, and a [[Resonator#Automobiles|resonator]] in place of the [[catalytic converter]]. These 113 trucks were shipped to [[Saudi Arabia]] to be sold as export sales. These 113 trucks were known as the Saudi Syclones.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-04-26|title=1991 GMC Saudi Syclone Edition {{!}} International SyTy Registry|url=https://internationalsytyregistry.com/historical-truck-info/conversion-trucks/1991-gmc-saudi-syclone/|access-date=2021-01-09|language=en-US}}</ref> Not all of the exported Saudi Syclones were sold immediately overseas. Out of the 113 Saudi Syclones, 31 trucks remained unsold and were eventually brought back to the United States. Rather than selling the 31 trucks to the public, GMC set up a lottery where employees could enter their name to be drawn to have the chance at purchasing a Saudi Syclone as a significantly reduced price ($12,500) and had to take delivery through a dealership. It is alleged that not many employees knew of the lottery to purchase one of the Saudi Syclones, so almost everyone who entered got the chance to buy one, which upset a lot of GM employees in various other divisions who felt they missed out. The remaining 69 trucks were distributed throughout Europe for sale where a small number ended up in a German compound for sometime. GMC, desperate to be rid of them, sold them on a "make us an offer" basis. Lucky purchasers managed to get hold of one for a few thousand dollars under their market value.

In 2009, a poor-condition GMC Syclone was scrapped under the U.S. federal government [[Car Allowance Rebate System]] (colloquially known as "cash for clunkers"), despite being highly collectible.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://jalopnik.com/5462441/morons-clunkerize-rare-gmc-syclone-super-truck|title=Morons Clunkerize Rare GMC Syclone Super Truck| first = Matt | last = Hardigree | publisher=[[Jalopnik]] |date= Feb 2, 2010 |access-date=2010-02-02}}</ref>
