1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler \u2013 429 Cobra Jet, Factory Ram-Air, Rare Southern Car<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
Inside, you\u2019ll 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.<\/p>\n
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).<\/p>\n
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\u2019s August 2024 purchase. A new dual exhaust system with a crossover and Flowmaster Super 40 mufflers was also installed.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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 \u201cO\u201d instead of a zero, matching documentation provided in photos.<\/p>\n
This Cyclone Spoiler is a rare, powerful piece of muscle car history\u2014well-maintained, well-optioned, and ready to be driven or shown.<\/p>\n
