Two Cyclones actually. NASCAR hero Cale Yarbrough had his stamp on the 1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler ll that was released in the Eastern US and, as a nod to his SCCA TransAm winnings, Newport Beach's own Dan Gurney had his name gracing the Western US offering. These Mercurys were produced for homologation purposes so that the aerodynamic nose and tail could be raced in the NASCAR series. NASCAR had mandated that 500 of these should be built, but Ford cheated with some trick photography using some dressed up regular production Cyclones, only built 351 out of the 503 they reported. All the homologated Cyclones had 351 Windsor V8s, automatic transmissions and bench seats. These models were part of GMP's discontinued (unfortunately) 1/24 lineup.

The Mustang project sounds really interesting Pete. The Talladega looks a great car, I'll add it to my already very long list. I'm thinking it will display well with my GMP Gurney.
