A guy local to me has a 70 Cyclone Spoiler with a 429 Cobra Jet Ram Air and 4 speed. Nasty, mean, fast car.

Ohh JEEEZ that's my all-time favorite "muscle car". They don't get a ton of press (and as a result easier to come by) but they're great looking and, well, 429 CJ available. What more do you want?
1987 20th Anniversary Cougar, 302 "5.0" GT-40 heads (F3ZE '93 Cobra) and TMoss Ported H.O. intake, H.O. camshaft
2.5" Duals, no cats, Flowmaster 40s, Richmond 3.73s w/ Trac-Lok, maxed out Baumann shift kit, 3000 RPM Dirty Dog non-lock TC
Aside from the Mustang crinkle headers, still looks like it's only 150 HP...
1988 Black XR7 Trick Flow top end, Tremec 3550
1988 Black XR7 Procharger P600B intercooled, Edelbrock Performer non-RPM heads, GT40 intake AOD, 13 PSI @5000 RPM. 93 octane

His is even canary yellow. He loves to torment the guy in the area with the 396 Chevelle.

An acquaintance of mine has an extensive collection of 70 cyclones. Both gt's and spoilers. He just picked up a white on black 70 gt 429 4 speed with 39k on the clock.

Thanks! I really like it. My Dad just had power steering added to it because he has trouble with his shoulders and couldn't drive it the first part of the summer. So I was able to take it to a couple shows as my own. It was cool!

You guys are bringing back memories. My first car was a 67 Cyclone. 289 4 speed car with the factory fiberglass hood. Like many of us I wish I had that first car back. I really like the Cyclones from 66 up through 71.

It's not a 302 car. The S code in the vin makes it a 390
Car


It also still has the big block radiator & upper hold down, not much doubt it was a 390 car... Makes one wonder where the 302 emblems came from, maybe were added when the swap was done??

A friend has a '67 390 cougar that the VIN on the data tag was punched C for a 289, official VIN on fender apr0n has the S... So anything is possible...
