There are fast vehicles, but there’s only one GMC Syclone. The mini truck with a turbocharged heart of unrelenting fury came from GMC and Production Automotive Services, a skunkworks initiative that netted the car enthusiast one of best Q-ships of all time. Aside from modified off-road vehicles with souped up small-blocks of the era, the Syclone’s combination of four-corner motivation with 350 pound-feet of torque was unheard of in the 1990s.

Telltale signs of poor fiscal health are all around us, and one such example is a footnote in the history of the American Motors Corporation. The story goes that one particular annual report to financial stakeholders in 1966 was dripping in red ink, and was summarily delivered to everyone in plain brown envelopes. The messaging was clearly dire, and that’s when a man named Robert Beverley Evans ascended to the rank of Chairman of AMC’s board.

Today we will update our last installment with Bubba the 1971 Plymouth Road Runner, as big things are happening to it after our initial assessment. But first, let’s mix it up with an answer to a fresh question about a topic we cover on a regular basis. Velanesh writes: Hi, I own a 2003 Audi TT.

Welcome to This Week on Hagerty Marketplace, a recurring recap of the previous week’s most noteworthy cars and significant sales from the Hagerty Marketplace online auctions. Unlike what you see in new-car showrooms these days, two-door vehicles aren’t necessarily that unique in the world of antique, classic, and specialty vehicles. But last week, the Hagerty Marketplace sold three coupes from different generations that sport unique themes.

This week, Our Two Cents takes us back to this series’ roots as a question-and-answer column. (Fear not, the fictional tales we crafted recently will likely return.) But it’s fun to mix things up, and there’s nothing like posing a $250,000 Concours Restoration Challenge to members of Hagerty Media. The premise is simple, but it still leaves some items up for interpretation by our staffers.

RT @casualgearheads: My new official favorite @24hoursoflemons moment is Judge @SajeevMehta giving his best "LZ9 no shiiit". That lean, man…
I am usually not an impulse buyer, especially for a vehicle. But @slateauto tugged at my heartstrings, and my dream of a practical EV truck that's Made in America is impossible to resist. It may replace my Ford Ranger, so join me on that journey as it unfolds on @Hagerty https://t.co/3trBq6mtXw
Right back atcha, @MattHardigree and your tweet makes me wish I knew more of my cohorts, but I live in a bubble of self-centered Automotive Journalism down in H-Town!
I will say, one of the amazing things about the current Car Media Internet is that there's just way less stupid animosity than there used to be. Really grateful to know @tokulski and @cheromcha and @aaronmaxb and @kristenlee and @SajeevMehta and @alanisnking and many others.
