Vehicle description
This 1965 Mercury Comet Cyclone is a two-door hardtop that was refinished in red with a black vinyl roof under previous ownership. The car was fitted with Edelbrock aluminum cylinder heads for its 289ci V8 as well as custom red and black upholstery Installed in 2016 after 2015 purchase. Additional equipment includes a four-speed manual transmission, an 8″ rear end, Magnum 500-style wheels, a Hurst shifter, and a CD player. This Comet has a clean Oregon title.
The body wears a Beautiful Paint Job Back to The Original Poppy Red That is was in 1965 that was applied under previous ownership and is accented by a black vinyl roof.
Chrome Magnum 500-style steel wheels with black recesses wear Pony center caps and 225/70-R14 Cooper Cobra Radial G/T tires with 2016 date codes. Braking is via unassisted drums that have been painted red at all four corners.
Upholstery Styled just like original was fitted with custom red and black vinyl seat covers, and black carpets line the floors. A center console was standard on the Cyclone, while aftermarket accessories include a Hurst T-handle shifter and a CD player mounted below the padded dash. Gauges include an optional dash-mounted tachometer, a 120-mph speedometer, and a five-digit odometer showing 1k miles. I have loved driving this car and since built i have driven just over 4,200 miles in Six years, and actual mileage is unknown. The 289ci V8 was built by Flying V Motors of Portland, Oregon, and features aluminum cylinder heads as well as a four-barrel carburetor and intake manifold from Edelbrock. Finned valve covers and an aluminum radiator have also been installed along with a replacement power steering pump.
A four-speed manual transmission routes power to an 8″ solid rear axle. Aftermarket dual exhausts are cut short to exit below the car. A walk-around, start-up, and idling video is shown below. https:/ youtu.be/93ZM0zZfI_M
