1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler

1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler

As the muscle car era rolled into the 1970s, manufactures continued to look for new ways to set their cars apart, sometimes even more so from the in-house competition. Taking advantage of some of powerhouse options developed by Ford, Mercury designers set out to make the 1970 Cyclone into a tire burning, head turning street machine that was sure to leave a mark at every stop light (and sometimes in the passenger shorts). The result was the 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler, a performance driven muscle car with standard features like a 429ci Cobra Jet V8, four speed manual Hurst shifter, competition handling package, and factory graphics package, while the car could run the ¼ mile in 14.5 seconds at 99 mph. The most stunning feature of the Cyclone Spoiler was arguably the wild W-shaped front end with protruding center cross hair grill that’s sure to make any driver feel like a fighter pilot.
