1969 Cyclone
Hubby is buying this today. Finally a car that runs and he doesn't need to tear completely apart to rebuild. Will do a little work on it but nothing like the other 3 cars he has waiting to be completed.

Whats that wheel and tire combo on there, looks great, Torq Thrust Ds, I think?

Just for giggles, I'm guessing the factory motor was a 351, since it's lacking any GT badging.

Truth came out this morning while emailing husband. While it does run, he doesn't trust it to drive any distance. Said that it's been in storage for years and all kinds of things need to be replaced. Stuff like all the wheel cylinders, brakes, brake lines, fuel line, shocks, fuel pump, clean out the radiator, replace hoses, etc. General maintenance stuff that really needs to be done to ensure the car is safe.

I was hoping the answer was going to be "428", of course. Nice looking ride though.

Just because it has the engine in it "now" doesn't mean it will end up that way. He may keep it "as is" for a while but I don't put anything past him anymore.

Seller owns a business selling parts for Falcons. He found this Cyclone in the same barn as a Falcon that he was interested in buying. Got a good deal on both cars and is trying to flip the Cyclone since he has no interest in it. Found in Washington State w/ 75,280 miles on it.

I don't think that was available in a '69

I want a '68 with the 427
