Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1966 Mercury Comet
Cyclone GT for your consideration. While Mercury will always be
known for their impressive run as luxury car manufacturers, there
are a few moments where they threw their hat in the muscle car
arena. In 1966, using the midsize Comet platform, engineers put
their collective heads together to develop the Comet Cyclone and
Cyclone GT. A head-snapping 390 V8 went along with stacked
headlights and (all GT's came with) a fiberglass hood with dual
scoops to announce its presence with authority. Compared to other
muscle cars of these years, the Cyclone was costly and sales never
really took off. However, collectors appreciate the Cyclone GT as a
true 60's muscle example with true performance and awesome style.
Many will also remember the 100 Indy Pace Cars produced that year
with the same Cardinal Red paint color.
The Comet Cyclone GT shows well in red with a black vinyl top. The
black vinyl interior shows well. Highlights include bucket seats,
center console, dash mounted tachometer, jack and full size spare
tire, AM/FM radio and more. According to the owner, the automatic
transmission has been rebuilt, the car comes with receipts backing
this up. The car has had brake work and new wheel bearings. The car
also comes with a file of small maintenance done to the car over
the years as well as a dealer brochure and owner's manual. The
current owner of the car has owned it for 11 years and the car
spent some time in Oklahoma and Pennsylvania. The car is powered by
a 390 v8 that runs well. The car functions as it should. This is a
great car for the money and is sure to leave a smile on your
face.
