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 original matching-numbers 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. ** PREVIEW
