For Sale: 1969 Mercury Cyclone in Sarasota, Florida

About this model: The Mercury Cyclone Spoiler launched the NASCAR streamliner battle when Cale Yarborough won the Daytona 500 in 1968 in a Woods Brothers Cyclone. Dodge produced the Daytona 500 and Mercury retaliated with the Mercury Spoiler. Both were to have streamlined noses, but the Mercury launch was delayed until the mid-year Cyclone Spoiler II. Only 519 were sold, all with 351-cid V-8s. A Dan Gurney special edition had a dark blue roof, striping, and a signature decal on the white lowers, while the Cale Yarborough edition was red and white like his Woods Brothers car, with a signature. About this car: About this car: This is a Cale Yarborough color code car. It was not one of the 519 Spolier II cars but was painted at the factory with the same unique 2 tone red and white paint scheme and striping accents. These were introduced before the spoiler II cars were launched and look just like the Spoiler II cars to most enthusiasts. The models differ from the Spoiler II cars because it was a paint scheme offering with out the performance upgrades. If this was a true Spoiler II car it would be selling for gobs more $$.
