1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II
– These special “showroom race cars” were a more aerodynamic version of the Mercury Cyclone, only built and sold to the public to homologate the design for racing purposes
– The Cyclone Spoiler II (and its sister car, the Ford Torino Talladega) competed against the Plymouth Superbird and Dodge Daytona “wing cars” at Nascar tracks nationwide during a period known as the Aero Wars
– VERY RARE, one of only 503 produced (Nascar required just 500 examples be sold to the public in order to be legal for racing)
– Of the 503, only 285 were Cale Yarborough Editions
– Cale Yarborough won the 1968 Daytona 500 driving for the legendary Wood Brothers
– These cars featured over 50 parts marked “X” for Experimental from the factory and were all hand built
– Flush-mounted grille and headlights, tucked bumper and other bodywork changes which resulted in the car being 6 inches longer than a conventional Cyclone
– Mercury reshaped and rolled the rocker panels which allowed their race cars to run an inch closer to the ground while staying within the rules, enhancing their top speed
– This car underwent a 5 year comprehensive restoration
– Beautiful Wimbledon White paint with red striping and Cale Yarborough graphics mimicking his famous #21 Wood Brothers race car
– Matching dark red bench seat interior
– Very nice trunk with original spare
– Styled steel wheels with correct Goodyear Polyglas reproduction tires
– 351 Windsor engine that has been bored to Nascar specs of 358 cubic inches
– Rebuilt with Holman Moody internals
– FMX automatic transmission (there were no manual-equipped Cyclone Spoiler IIs)
– High performance 3.25 rear axle
– Power brakes & power steering
– HIGHLY DOCUMENTED car
– Produced on March 12, 1969 and sold new at Schneider Lincoln-Mercury in St. Paul, MN
– Original window sticker, invoice & Ownercard
– Original owner’s manual & special Cyclone II supplement
– Original dealer trunk lid emblem
– Framed Elite Marti Report
– 1/24 scale diecast model of the car by GMP
– Current Hagerty book value – $123,000 (Up 15%)
This is a very rare opportunity to own a special, purpose-built muscle car that was an integral part of the famous Nascar Aero Wars of 1969 and 1970.
