The Mercury Cyclone is an automobile that was produced by Mercury from 1964 to 1971. It started as a performance model of the 1964 Mercury Comet, and was named the Mercury Comet Cyclone through 1967. In the 1965 models, the engine was updated to the four-barrel carburetor version of the 289 cu in (4,736 cc) unit, but generated 200 hp (149.1 kW). The '65 had a few performance options, which include a handling package, a special fan, and a "Power Transfer" rear axle. Special features included a black out, stand-up grille, bucket seats with see-through pleats, center console, chrome-plate wheel covers with lug nuts, engine "Dress Up Kit", unique insignias, a vinyl roof in black or white and a Power-Pac gauge cluster for the heavily padded instrument panel.
Announced a couple of years back as a possible new tooling project, the Moebius 1965 Comet Cyclones are now a reality and
"on the water" with anticipated arrival just before Christmas. This
is a fully detailed kit and this particular version includes stock parts. Please rotate
through the pictures, if you are able, to see test shots, and a beautiful finished model.
