This 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT is a nice looking car, but the seller does go to some length to ensure that any prospective buyers are aware that the car is not perfect. This is something that will inspire a certain amount of confidence for anyone considering this car. You will find it listed for sale here on eBay. It is located in Glendale, California, and is offered for sale with a clear title. The seller has set a BIN price of $19,000 for this Cyclone, but the option is also there to make an offer. A big thanks has to go out to Barn Finder Miguel for locating this Mercury for us.
The Cyclone presents nicely, and the shots of the underside of the car look really good and solid. The paint has a nice shine to it, and the exterior trim looks pretty reasonable, although the seller states that it isn’t perfect. The negatives on this car that the seller reveals include a cracked windshield, and apparently, there is some Bondo in the car. He doesn’t reveal where it is or how much is present, but he does emphasize that the car is not of show quality.
The interior of the Cyclone presents really well. There are a couple of potential issues that need to be considered. The dash pad looks strangely rippled around where the clock and auxiliary gauges are set into the dash. The other thing that I noticed is that the rim blow ring on the steering wheel has started to come apart. It is hard to tell how bad it actually is. It may be able to be repaired, or it may require replacement. Otherwise, the interior is close to perfect.
Under the hood is the 351-4V engine, which is backed by a 4-speed manual transmission. The car is also fitted with power steering and power disc brakes. The owner states that the car runs and drives well, but that the brakes do need attention. He also states that the clutch and transmission both work smoothly. He also says that it won’t take much work to get the car to the stage where it could be used as a daily driver.
This Mercury Cyclone and its owner both appear to have one thing in common: They both appear to be very honest. The photos indicate a car that could easily be passed off as immaculate, but the seller seems to go to great lengths to explain that it isn’t. It’s a nice looking car that really would make a nice daily driver.
