1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler – 429 Cobra Jet, Factory Ram-Air, Rare Southern Car

Originally sold at Swartzfager Ford in Laurel, Mississippi, in June 1970, this true Cyclone Spoiler packs a factory 429ci Cobra Jet V8 paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission. Finished in a deep blue with black stripes, it features key performance equipment including a functional Ram-Air hood, front and rear spoilers, a Competition Handling Package, a Traction-Lok rear end, and a 4-barrel carburetor.

Inside, you’ll find the optional Special Instrumentation Package with an 8k-rpm tach, oil pressure and temperature gauges, and a rim-blow steering wheel. High-back bucket seats, black vinyl interior, a push-button radio, dual rear speakers, and Cobra-branded floor mats complete the vintage muscle ambiance.

Originally Pastel Blue with a black vinyl top, the car was repainted in its current rich blue with black accents under previous ownership. Exterior details include a blacked-out grille and tail panel, dual racing mirrors, chrome bumpers, and correct Cobra, Ram-Air, and 429 badging. It rides on 15″ chrome Magnum 500-style wheels wrapped in BFGoodrich Radial T/As (mounted in 2020).

The Competition Handling Package includes heavy-duty springs, a front sway bar, and upgraded KYB Gas-a-Just shocks. Power front disc brakes and power steering were added prior to the seller’s August 2024 purchase. A new dual exhaust system with a crossover and Flowmaster Super 40 mufflers was also installed.

The 429 Cobra Jet engine was factory rated at 370 horsepower and delivers a healthy, aggressive tone through the upgraded exhaust. The drivetrain is completed by the original 3-speed automatic and Traction-Lok differential.

The odometer reads 94,000 miles, with about 40 added by the current owner. Documentation includes partial service records, copies of the original sales invoice and window sticker, a parts box, and a clean North Carolina title. A small note: the title shows the first digit of the VIN as an “O” instead of a zero, matching documentation provided in photos.

This Cyclone Spoiler is a rare, powerful piece of muscle car history—well-maintained, well-optioned, and ready to be driven or shown.
