Link to video http://youtu.be/HiGLgj2Q8Ng This is an original 1966 Mercury Cyclone GT with an S code 390, factory 4 speed transmission and 3.25 9” rear axle. It has a black interior with bucket seats, console and working factory tach on the dash. It has just under 110k original miles. Other than wheels and exhaust this car is very original and is still wearing its original paint. Originally a California car (still have the black plates) it has been in Washington for about 15 years. The body on the Cyclone is very nice. It is very straight with good body lines and no signs of ever being having any bodywork done at all. Just one look down the sides and you can tell it is straight and never been touched. The car was not undercoated from the factory and there is no rust anywhere that I can find. The quarters, doors, trunk, frame rails etc all look excellent. Shock tower look very nice as does the rest of the engine compartment area. Doors open and very nicely with no sag. The trunk is extremely clean inside with no rust. Both front fenders were trimmed very slightly at the front lower corners of the wheel well, presumably for tire clearance at some point in the past. Not really noticeable unless pointed out to you. The bar that goes across the center of the grill has been repainted at one point, looks fine but is the only no original paint I can find. The original fiberglass hood is in excellent original condition, it has had hood locks installed. The paint still shines nicely but it is weak and has a lot of patina. There are many small chips or spots in the paint, especially on top surfaces. The spots have minor pitting in them, probably from being near saltwater while in CA. Nothing major and not structural at all. The front bumper is straight and is showing minor wear. Rear bumper has pitting and has a slight bend in the middle. Some of the other trim is pitted as well. Wheels are period correct 15” Torque Thrusts with Cooper Cobra tires that are in excellent shape. Some of the weatherstripping is showings its age as you would expect. Glass is all good. The interior of the Cyclone is in amazing condition and is all original except for the bottom of the driver’s seat. The dash looks very good, both the dash pad and the lower dash and gauges. The console is very nice and is one of the nicest original 4speed console I have seen in a Cyclone or Fairlane. The seats look excellent as do the headliner and door panels. Even the carpet is original, although it does have some fading and a couple wear spots on the driver’s side from shoe heels. Floor mats would cover those and the interior would look excellent. Steering wheel has typical crack in the rim. Original AM radio is still present. The 390 looks all original with original chrome valve covers, breather, air cleaner and chrome dipstick. It still has the original Holley carb with C6# on the choke horn. Still retains original intake and exhaust manifolds as well. It starts right up and runs good. It has newer 2.5” exhaust with X pipe and is throaty but still fairly quiet. The toploader 4spd works excellent and shifts very well, it is very quiet. The original shifter is still in place with working reverse lockout. The shifter is a bit sloppy as you would expect but it still works fine. The clutch is very smooth also although the pedal support bushings are worn and need replacement. The car drives as it should and is smooth on the highway. The steering has typical play but nothing unusual. All the gauges work including the factory tach, lights all work including the interior and reverse lights! Heater and wipers work although the factory delay wiper feature does not work. Horn works and radio comes on but you only hear static. Overall this is an amazing car, if only they were all untouched and in this condition. My plan was to have some of the chrome restored and drive it as is but you could just leave it alone or do a full repaint and have trim redone. I really had no intention of selling this car but another car I have been after for years is coming available so I need to sell this one since it is the last one I bought for myself and I have not really put any real work into it. In fairness to all bidders I will not disclose my reserve. I reserve the right to end the auction at any time. Car is sold as is where is. I have done my best to describe it accurately but please understand that it is nearly 50 years old and has really had no restoration work done. It is available for inspection by appointment. International buyers welcome. Any bidder with a feedback rating of less than 10 must contact me before bidding or bid will be cancelled. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Car must be paid for in full within 5 days of auction end (no paypal.) Car must be picked up within 21 days of auction end unless prior arrangements are made. |

This Mercury Cyclone is an American Muscle Car in Norway
Tue, Oct 27 2015The picturesque Norwegian countryside certainly doesn't seem like the natural stomping grounds for a 1969 Mercury Cyclone, but owner Alexander Brevik makes the odd combo look like an ideal match. Even with the beautiful surroundings, Brevik sees no need to enjoy the scenery; he'd much rather just be driving this vintage muscle car. Take a ride with him in the latest clip from Petrolicious. Like many of us, Brevik's automotive obsession started at childhood, and today he has amassed a multitude of projects to wrench on. While he loves working on all of these cars, we all need a break sometimes, and that's what the Cyclone is for. Even when the rest of his collection isn't running, this orange beauty is always ready to go. Brevik may not pay much attention to the landscape, but Petrolicious makes the muscle car look fantastic in the Norwegian woods nonetheless. With its rumbling V8 engine and three-speed manual, this Cyclone turns out to be a perfect cruising companion in the Land of the Midnight Sun. And if you just can't get enough of classic muscle cars and the people who love them, check out our video coverage of the 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit down below. Related Video:
New Forza 6 car pack will let you race the Pontiac Aztek
Fri, Jan 29 2016Just in time for this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, the new Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 on the Xbox One lets you slip into the driver's seat of last year's winner. If you want to take something much weirder for a spin, the collection also includes a 2005 Pontiac Aztek. The download is available now for $6.99. The Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona was in a four-car battle early in last year's race, but it eventually was victorious. Forza Motorsport 6 also challenges drivers who download the car to a new Rivals event around Daytona, and the fastest people could win Alpinestars prizes. If you're nostalgic for a classic Daytona racecar, this pack includes Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7. The V8-powered beast won the IMSA GTO class in the 24-hour event in 1990. It should be fun around the game's longer road courses like Road Atlanta. This collection also has an eclectic mix of vehicles that aren't racecars. The controversial Aztek and the equally-controversial 1996 Subaru SVX take their places beside a lineup that offers drivers three eras of performance cars – a 1967 Sunbeam Tiger, 1974 Toyota Corolla SR5, and 1992 Alfa Romeo Milano Quadrifoglio Verde. The video below shows all of them in action. Race to the Finish Line with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6 By Xbox Wire Staff posted on January 27, 2016 at 8:00 am With the racing season set to kick into full gear during this weekend's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona race, Forza fans now have a chance to get their own taste of endurance racing glory with the Alpinestars Car Pack for Forza Motorsport 6, available on Thursday, Jan. 28. Leading off the pack of seven cars is last year's 24 Hours of Daytona winner, the 2015 Ford #02 Chip Ganassi Racing Riley Mk XXVI Daytona Prototype. The prototype will be fielded in this weekend's race, which begins at 2 p.m. EST on Saturday, Jan. 30 and can be viewed live on Fox Sports 1 in the U.S. The Alpinestars Car Pack features six additional cars, each with a unique pedigree all its own. From the 1990 Mercury #15 Whistler Radar Cougar XR-7 – also a competitor in Daytona 24 Hour events of years past – to the inimitable 2005 Pontiac Aztek (famous more for its fictional owner than its performance), this pack has something for every kind of car fan. Forza Motorsport 6 is the only game where players can drive last year's Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona winner on the recently remodeled Daytona International Speedway.
Ford recalls 600,000 older-model sedans for braking issue
Fri, Dec 20 2019Ford is recalling 600,166 older-model Ford, Lincoln and Mercury vehicles over an issue that could affect braking and increase the risk of a crash. The safety recall covers certain Ford Fusion, Mercury Milan and Lincoln MKZ sedans from the 2006 through 2010 model years that were built at Ford’s Hermosillo Assembly Plant in Mexico between Feb. 22, 2006, and July 15, 2009. Ford says a valve that is normally closed inside the hydraulic control unit may get stuck in the open position or be slow to close, which could make it harder to engage the brakes and increase risk of a crash. Ford says itÂ’s aware of 15 reports of accidents and two injuries possibly related to the issue. Dealers will inspect the hydraulic control unit for signs of the problem and replace it, if necessary. The dealers will pressure-flush the system with brake fluid and replace the reservoir cap with a new one. Ford is also issuing a small recall of 33 of its 2020 F-150 trucks in the U.S. and 51 in Canada over potentially damaged spare tires. It says the bead area on the tires may have been damaged when it was mounted onto the wheel assembly, leaving it vulnerable to corrosion, separation of the bead wire and ultimately a rapid loss of air pressure and detachment from the wheel. Dealers will replace the spare tire. Affected vehicles were built at the Dearborn Truck Plant from Nov. 10-21 of this year.
