We don't see very many of these around here so I thought I would pass this C-list ad on to the good folks here who may have an interest in a non-Cougar Mercury. Not mine of course.

Cool cars.... gotta be one of the craziest front grilles of the era

 

[mopardon]

Looks like a good deal !

Too bad it isn't one of the W-31's. I remember reading about the W-31 when I was a kid being the Professional Man's land rocket....

And there I go being a tard, that was actually an Oldsmobile.....shucks.....

With that front grille though, looks like it should have a name like W-31 reminiscent of a first gen jet fighter.

Can't tell if it has the dashpad-mounted gauges. Between this feature and the exterior styling the 70-71 Cyclone is one of my favorites.

I almost bought a 70 Cyclone GT many years ago, but bought the 72 Montego wagon instead. For the same price (about &950.00).

In 1970, the Cyclone GT's all got the hidden headlights, (optional on other Cyclones).

You took the wagon over the Cyclone GT?
Nothing wrong with the wagon but, a Cyclone GT.

Yah, I know. Crazy, huh. It was before I got my Cougar. Looking for a project car or a potential family hauler. I like the 72 Montegos too. Turned out OK in the end, I made a decent amount of money renting then selling the wagon to Paramount Pictures for use in the "Brady Bunch" movies.

Some days, though, I kick myself for not buying the Cyclone. It drove OK but it needed a bit of cosmetic work. (Yellow, black vinyl top, ginger interior with cloth inserts, 351-4v with a C4).

Sounds like you made the right choice.
How many can say their car was in the movies.:ylsup:

Not very kind of you to dangle this in front of a bunch of addicts like myself. One 1970 Cyclone with manual steering and manual drum brakes headed to Oregon. Original paint and his father bought it new, how could I pass it up?

 

[mopardon]

Looks to be Well Bought Don... Congrats. !

*******! I guess that's why he didn't get back to me. Well played. Nice looking car. Maybe you should just send it out east to me.

 

[Don Rush]

He said that he had no fewer than 20 emails but I was the 1st to email and one of the only to request his phone number. It is a manual drum brake, manual steering car with a rough comfort weave / console interior. I love original paint and dig patina!

 

[mopardon]

Someones gonna have to get into the Cyclone parts business ?

I'm not sure he is still in business. His business voice mail box if full and his home phone says its no longer in service.
