Vehicle Description
This 1966 Mercury Comet Cyclone GT Convertible earns your attention
with everything from its stacked headlight style to its rare
drop-top body. But what really makes it special is the investment
in power that keeps it a true silver bullet. Everything about this
car shows a detail-oriented style. The blackout hood has a great
sporty GT feeling especially because it helps highlight the air
grabber hood. This goes well with the rocker stripe, power
convertible top, and whole interior for a coordinated style with
the roof up or down. And we love the sporty details, like the
correct dash-mounted tach, Hurst four-speed shifter, and racing
flag center caps of the styled steel wheels. But what you'll love
best of all is that this earns its GT name and powerful appearance
thanks to what's under the hood. It has a year-correct 390 motor
that finished a full performance rebuild within the last few
months. So dig into all the extra details about how this Cyclone GT
brings some serious power and poise to the streets.

We love a well-done Mercury because we just don't see them as often
as the more mainstream brands. But this real-deal Comet Cyclone GT
reminds us that Mercury was fighting the muscle car wars right
alongside the Fairlane GT - Ford just happened to make a few
thousand more drop-tops than the more expensive Merc. So it's a car
with rarity and legitimacy... but the only thing that really
matters is the feeling you get when you take down the top and go
for a drive. The mix of wind in your hair and sweet V8 rumble in
your ears will remind you why this is THE ONE. Call today!!!
