    1. You are mistaken about the ’65 cyclone. Cyclones never had a 6 cylinder. They only came with v8s, only came as 2 Dr hard tops or convertibles, only had 3 SPD autos or 2 of 2 4spd manuals. They were Mercury’s answer to the super sport.

      2. Cyclones were never convertible in ’65. The Caliente was the only model to come with a ragtop. I owned a Caliente 2dr hardtop and a convertible and considered putting Cyclone trim on the convertible.

  10. My first brand new car. Ordered a red 4 on the floor 289 and I loved that car. Received it in April 1965 and entered the Navy in October to stay out of the army managed to hang on to the car . Was married and had two daughters and a great wife .Rolled it over and totaled it in 1969 on Michigan ice. Still very sad as the car had all my young life memories.

  11. David, I’m glad to see this because I owned a 1965 in white and it had a V/8 with a 4 speed. A great car.
