1970 Mercury Cyclone GT 429 SCJ Pilot Car
 

This 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT from the Brothers Collection packs all the cool go-fast parts you could get on this car - a 375 horsepower 429 V8, a 4-speed manual transmission, and 4.30:1 rear gears making it the Super Cobra Jet package. It's bright red, sounds mean, and runs hard. Even cooler is that this was a Mercury pilot car, which meant it was destined to be crushed after assembly. This one escaped and went on to be driven over 40,000 miles. Too cool.

Its actually a Super Drag Pak. 3.91 geared cars were called Drag Pak the 4.30 Cars were Super Drag Pak


Got to love those '70 Cyclones! I have owned a half dozen of them.

It's my understanding that it has been partially repainted, but it is presented as largely original. I saw yours, very cool!
