Salut

Encore une edition spécial
que je ne connessait pas

sa l'air assez chaud comme découverte
même au stade de recherche d'identification

1968 Mercury Cyclone GT 500




1.The cars were built for the 1968 Darlington Southern 500 held on Labor Day.

2.As stated before there were only 60 Mercury Cyclone GT 500 cars ever built; all in 1968.

3.They were ALL painted Vermilion. There were reports of white cars but not according to Marti.

4.45 cars out of the 60 built were produced with the 428 CJ engine.

5.All 45 428 CJ cars were Ram Air equipped.

6.All 45 428 CJ cars had automatic transmissions (C6).

7.These cars did NOT have their own Body Code designation. Although ours only shows a “63″ others all seem to have the regular “63H” code.

8.No proof but all cars seem to have black bucket seats with console.

9.No info on tire and wheel combination. It is assumed that any option was available that could be had on a regular GT.

10.There was a swept back checkered flag emblem on a small pole located on the rear quarter panels.

11.The build date on the my car is May 4, 1968. The car was sold on June 10th; most of the cars seem to be built in this window. Most likely all at the same time.

12.It has been stated that the checkered flag cam from a 64 Comet – part number C3MB16188A C3MB16189A. The part number for the 500 emblem is C8AB – 82290098 – A and it looks like a 68 Galaxy.
