1965 Comet Cyclone. For 1965, this muscle car received updated styling front and rear (including stacked headlights). The base 6-cylinder engine was increased from 170 cid to 200 cid. Still using a single-barrel carburetor, it produced 120 hp (89 kW) at 4400 rpm.

My brothers favorite car
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.
The one with the 289 was a real HOT ROD.

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.
