AACA-Awarded 1967 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT Hardtop 390 4-Speed

Description

The Mercury Cyclone was introduced by FoMoCo into the Mercury lineup in 1964 as a muscle car between the Cougar pony car, and the Marquis and Marauder full-size two-door models. The Cyclone replaced the performance-oriented version of the Comet, and represented the Mercury brand in racing as a clone to the Ford Fairlane Thunderbolt.

Mercury debuted new generations of the Cyclone every two years, until its end in 1972. The second generation’s 1967 GT model used a 390 cu-in V8 but oddly was reported detuned with 15 fewer horses than the standard 289 cu-in V8 at 320 horsepower. This was FoMoCo’s answer to Tri-Power GTOs and Hemi-powered Mopars.

This 1967 Mercury Cyclone GT is a well-documented, award-winning example, boasting AACA Junior, AACA Senior, AACA Grand National, AACA Grand National Senior, as well as the coveted AACA James Melton Memorial Cup awards. Included with the sale is its Marti report and a copy of the factory window sticker.
