Fords upmarket Mercury division joined the mid-size muscle car wars in 1966 with the newly redesigned Cyclone GT, offering a potent and highly integrated performance car with abundant standard and optional features and Fords 390- and 427-cube V-8 powertrains. Another redesign for 1968 brought a new, aero-efficient fastback body style, perfect for NASCAR speedways, with the Cyclone now part of the Montego model family. The Cyclone GT nameplate was dropped for 1969 and a ferocious new attitude came with the new fastback-only Cyclone CJ. Aimed at street dominance, the Cyclone CJ was powered by the formidable, race-winning 428 Cobra Jet V-8 engine, laughably under-rated by the factory at 335 horsepower and a more believable 400 pounds-feet of tire-shredding torque. Fords rugged Toploader 4-speed manual transmission, Competition Handling package, low-restriction dual exhaust, blacked-out grille, wild paint colors, and optional Ram Air hood with racing-style retaining pins rounded out the CJ. According to expert sources, just 3,261 of these uniquely styled and very serious high-performance machines were produced in all.
This competition Orange 1969 Mercury Cyclone CJ is offered with just 16,359 actual miles and acquired by the current owner in 1993. Powered by the original R-Code 428 Cobra Jet V-8 engine with functional Ram Air induction, mated to a 4-speed manual transmission and Traction-Lok rear axle, this collector-grade CJ remains exceptionally original and retains the majority of its original paint finish. Other highlights include a black vinyl interior, front bucket seats, an AM radio, power-assisted brakes with front discs, power steering, and a rear spoiler. Also included are a full-size spare wheel/tire and miscellaneous spare parts. Documents are simply outstanding, including the original build sheet, window sticker, bill of sale and dealer literature, plus prior title copies, mileage statements, and service records from the current 30 year ownership. The 1969 Mercury Cyclone CJ is one of the rarest and most uniquely styled and formidable American muscle cars ever unleashed on the public. This incredibly original, one-owner, low-mileage example is certainly one of the finest survivors. Contact us to see it for yourself, obtain full details, and make it yours today!
