Looking to buy a non-Mustang

[c9zx]

I'm looking to buy a 1966 Mercury Cyclone GT. I'm posting to try to widen the net. Not looking for a basket case or a huge rust bucket, or a convertible. I'm also not looking for a concours anything, been there not my thing. If anyone knows of a car that may be for sale please let me know. Thanks, Chuck

That does look like a nice Fairlane.
FWIW though his jack arrangement in image #6011 is scary!

Chuck, have you tried Fred Ashmore? I follow him on FB and he's dragging cars out of all sorts of places. He's in Drumright, OK.

I found the car I wanted and it is here, 1966 Cyclone GT 4 speed. Now I'm looking for good parts sources (minor items) and a good Comet/Cyclone forum. The forums I've found seem to have little activity. I seem to recall that at least one member here has a 66/67 Cyclone or Comet. I you happen to read this please send me a message.

Congrats on your new acquisition! Will you be posting up a thread here so we can follow along? I, for one, would enjoy seeing your progress.

I will when I resolve the fight between my phone and laptop. Won't be much to see until next fall as the car is painted, interior is new, glass is new. The people that did this work were very good. Who ever did the rest of reassembly must have been the very definition of the phrase "half assed mechanic". I have a long list of annoying class problems to fix and two this is going to be a PITA class problems to fix. Chuck
