This magnificent 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT is one of only 73 built with the 429 Super Cobra Jet V8 Drag-Pak. The Super Cobra Jet 429-4V V8 engine was the street version of the Boss 429 racing engine, as stated in the original factory Mercury dealership brochure that's included. It is fully documented with the original Ford (Lois Eminger) invoice and Elite Marti Report, both of which are included. This example was the product of a high-level rotisserie restoration with great attention to detail. This vehicle's order type was an 'A-Plan Vehicle,' which meant it was ordered by an employee of Ford or the selling dealership, which in this case was Sesi Lincoln Mercury in Ypsilanti, MI.
It was ordered on September 23, 1969, as a 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT 2-door hardtop with a Competition Yellow exterior and a black Comfortweave vinyl high-back bucket-seat interior. It was also ordered with the following options: complete tinted glass, Goodyear G78x14 belted white sidewall tires, courtesy lights, tachometer instrumentation group, electric clock, AM radio, dual rear-seat speakers, rear window defogger, power front disc brakes, 429 Super Cobra Jet V8 Drag-Pak, 4-speed close-ratio manual transmission and 3.91 Traction-Lok rear axle. It was built on November 18, 1969, and sold on November 20, 1969.
From the information gathered, this car only had 15,000 miles prior to the nut-and-bolt rotisserie restoration that was completed in 2020. The previous and current title states actual mileage. The exterior of this car is in absolutely gorgeous condition throughout. The body is laser-straight with great panel fitment. The car was refinished in its original color of Competition Yellow paint. The high-quality paint was recently detailed to a brilliant show-quality shine. The Ram Air induction hood, dual racing mirrors, concealed headlights, black lower body-side painted and Cyclone GT 429 emblems scream muscle car.
The front windshield was replaced new, and all the remaining factory original stamped glass is in beautiful condition. It sits on new 15-inch Magnum 500 wheels and BFGoodrich radial TA staggered tires that were added in 2023. A set of the original 14-inch wheels with factory hubcaps and BFGoodrich Silvertown G78-14 whitewall tires are included. The black Comfortweave vinyl interior is mostly original and truly remarkable. The high-back bucket seats are still firm and the seat belts still retain all the original date-coded tags. The rim-blow sport steering wheel is in front of the 140-mph speedometer.
The 8000-rpm tachometer, oil pressure, engine temperature and ammeter gauges are recessed individually into the dash. The painted trunk compartment has a factory-style trunk mat, matching spare tire and jack tools. The engine compartment is highly detailed with many correct parts throughout. The car is powered by the date correct, 4-bolt main 429 Super Cobra Jet V8 engine that was factory-rated at 375hp. The decision was made during the rebuild to use higher-performance parts for better reliability and increased horsepower. The engine was bored .80 over and stroked to a 533ci.
Some of the internals parts include a #4340 forged steel crank, COMP Cams solid roller cam with custom grind, H-beam rods, AutoTec forged pistons and COMP Cams Pro Magnum roller rockers. It has the factory intake and Holley carburetor, #D00F-9210-N. The engine dyno-tested with 527hp and 599 ft/lbs of torque. The engine breathes through the factory manifolds and correct-style reproduction dual-exhaust system. The engine is coupled to the original matching-numbers 4-speed transmission with factory Hurst shifter. The power is transferred to the Drag-Pak 3.91 Traction-Lok rear axle. The undercarriage is also highly detailed throughout with many correct parts.
The floors were repainted in the correct red oxide color. This car was recently serviced and detailed, which is documented with an invoice that's included. From the MS CLASSIC CARS Collection.
