Inspirational 1966 Mercury Cyclone GT Pace Car Convertible
The next amazing classic up for grabs in our Fairfield showroom is
this simply gorgeous 1966 Mercury Cyclone GT Pace Car 2 Door
Convertible with Cardinal Red exterior paint and a white vinyl
interior. This example is a true factory "S Code" with a 390 cid
V-8 engine under the hood and a C6 Merc-o-Matic heavy duty
automatic transmission, a 3.25 rear end, dual exhaust, a factory
fiberglass dual hood scoop hood, a power top and power brakes. As
one of only 100 pace cars produced in 1966 (and one of 2,158 total
'66 Cyclone GT's), this fantastic example is easily one of the most
prestigious on today's open market.
The VIN # 6H28S605216 on this 1966 Mercury Cyclone GT Convertible
decodes as follows- 6= produced in 1966, H=manufactured in Lorain,
Ohio, 28=the model is a Pace Car Convertible, S= equipped with a
390 V8 motor with 335 horsepower.
Completely Unrestored Besides New Paint/Decals in 1999
This 1966 Mercury Cyclone GT Pace Car Convertible was the sixth
vehicle produced on April 22nd, 1966 in Lorain, Ohio and it sold
new in Spokane, Washington. The 3rd lifetime owner took possession
back in 2010 and he informs us that this highly desirable muscle
car is a true survivor that's been kept true its entire lifetime.
It did receive an exterior respray back in 1999 (paint under hood,
trunk, etc. is original) and the factory motor was rebuilt within
the last 1,000 miles- otherwise, everything is 100% original from
bumper to bumper.
Additionally, it's worth noting that the 390 V-8 engine on this
1966 Mercury Cyclone GT Pace Car Convertible is factory rated at
335 horsepower, but the current owner stated that the engine is
producing 385 horsepower at the rear wheels. While we cannot
certify this statement, we can tell you that this amazing car
drives like a dream with awesome acceleration, handling and
stopping power at virtually any speed. The performance is simply
incredible for a true survivor and we saw nothing on the open road
that would give a serious collector pause.
In terms of its present condition, this 1966 Mercury Cyclone GT
Pace Car 2 Door Convertible borders on like-new condition both
inside and out with only the slightest of imperfections to be
found. The body lines are absolutely gorgeous and you'll find
quality paint glistening among fantastic chrome and trim work. The
white interior, dashboard and center console are also immaculate
and the only real blemish you'll find is in the trunk area- there
are slight signs of wear on an otherwise near-perfect example.
Possibly the Most Original, Show-Stopping Example Anywhere
Overall, this 1966 Mercury Cyclone GT Pace Car 2 Door Convertible
is one of the most original, show-stopping examples we've ever come
across and the current asking price is likely far too conservative
for such an amazing example. There is simply no way that this
beautiful muscle car remains available more than a few days so come
see it for yourself today! For more information about this vehicle,
