Vehicle Description
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
