    Posted: 14-January-2020 at 12:49PM
Hello all. My name is Loren and I have four mid sixty Fords and Mercurys.I am in BC Canada and my last project was a 66 Mercury Cyclone GT. I am wondering if anyone has an information source for this car. I believe it is very rare,as it is a triple black car, with a vinyl roof.It also has power windows, power driver's seat, power rear mount aerial,power steering, in dash A/C,AM/FM radio and a fully functional ram air hood, which was a dealer option built by Bud Moore of NASCAR. I know Ford has no Marti report for any 66 car,but I am wondering if the Mercury section would have production numbers for these cars or if anyone here may have helpful info......Thanks, and it is great to be a new member......Loren

Welcome Lorne!  Unfortunately all the info on this site is for 1968-79 cars, with most of it for the 1972-76 cars.  We don't have any production information on your Cyclone. 

What other cars do you have?  Post some pics, you've been upgraded to a full member.

Love all your cars but I'm partial to your Falcon.  I had a 64 as my first car that I dropped a 351 into, manual steering and brakes made it interesting to drive at times but would someday like to have another one.  Good luck on your research.

Beautiful cars.  Are you on Facebook?  There are a couple of groups dedicated to Comets, Cyclones, etc.  Maybe, try them out?
