HI Hisham Elfiki, Glad you enjoy the looks and uniqueness of this one :-) Received well wishes on the great day, and wishing you the same, Lou

[@tippey2011]

Just amazing Lou! These cyclones and eliminators we're too hard to beat back then. Nothing like the competition orange either! Being the only one there and around tells you that this one is rare. I do like the 1970 ones too.like you had on your channel! Thanks Lou love all.the trunk goodies too!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Steve Flad, Glad you are "amazed" by this one, and happy to read you love the "trunk & treat" toys :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@TheGunfighter45acp]

Very nice! I love the curves on this Cyclone. The Cobra Jet engine is nice, too. You don't get to see these too often. Thanks for finding this one for us, Lou!

[@loucostabile]

Hi TheGunfighter45acp, Glad to see you enjoy the curves & "CJ" in this one :-) I like this one too. You're welcome, Lou

Years ago a neighbor had a 1968 or 69 Ford Galaxy 500 XL fastback with the hideaway headlights. The Mercurys were always supposed to be the better trimmed and optioned cars, but I prefer the front grille treatment of the Galaxy over this one (although the rear is nicer on the Cyclone). Nice find, and very rare.

[@loucostabile]

Hi 20alphabet, Thank you for viewing, sharing details on your Neighbor's car, and adding your thoughts on the styling of the two cars. Lou

[@dsteele27]

It looks just like the one recommended in the October 1968 issue of Popular Science as the best muscle car.

[@loucostabile]

Good to know. Thank you for sharing your knowledge dsteele27. Lou

[@OldNewSweetRides]

Wow, pretty nice pony! Seoncd comment here! Thanks for sharing Lou, John.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Stephen Smart, High praise :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@robertlee9395]

Another super nice car Lou. Just one favor to ask, slow down and hover for a couple of seconds on the builder plates and what nots. It would be easier for us to pause and read them. Thank you Lou. Thanks for sharing!

[@loucostabile]

Hi Robert Lee, Excellent suggestion, and you're 100% right. I get so excited about the cars when I'm with them sometimes I'm just moving to fast. When reviewing a video I think the same thing that I moved to fast in sections. I'll work on that. FYI - My videos in my first year 2013 averaged about 3 minutes, currently the videos average about 11 minutes, :-) You're welcome, Lou

[@GTP427cobra]

awesome car

[@loucostabile]

High praise :-)

[@ANDREWSAMY562]

Gorgeous looking thing

[@loucostabile]

Glad you enjoy the looks of this one Andrew Samy :-)

[@stevencarboni3091]

Wonderful car Lou , Passionate owner. I have never seen a CJ this year in Australia beautiful. Did you know that in 1970 ford Australia produced the fastest door sedan in the world!, the falcon gtho Phase 3 ,330hp- 351 clevland-toploader-31spline 9inch locker. if you ever wan't to take a trip downunder to check out Aussie muscle cars you and your's would be welcome at my place. Cheers Steve

[@loucostabile]

Hi Steven, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) The "the falcon gtho Phase 3 ,330hp- 351 clevland-toploader-31spline 9inch locker" sounds like a FUN car :-) Thank you for the offer, and I hope a Sponsor will catch wind of this Channel and help with the costs to come for a visit to see your wonderful cars, Cheers, Lou

[@OffTheJacks]

I sure don't remember the cyclone. I love how it sounds when you got behind it and I REALLY wish my car had that clock (you know, one that I can set without an instructional manual.) LOL

[@loucostabile]

Glad you "love" the clock and sound of this one Off The Jacks :-) Thank you for viewing and sharing the details you enjoy, Lou

[@welchshahan714]

One day l will meet you that would be very cool!

[@loucostabile]

Yes, say hello if you see me for sure :-)

[@johndillinger8482]

Petrolicious did an absolutely beautiful video about this guy and his car a few months ago.It's on KZbin.It's a shame the value of these cars aren't on par with GM & Chrysler cars from the era..They were very fast and attractive. You can find one in nice shape in the low 20's.

[@loucostabile]

Hi john dillinger, You're right Petrolicious did a beautiful video on this car. You were positive John - and I had FUN reading your comment, well done, THANK YOU :-) Lou

[@johndillinger8482]

One day you will thank me for my comments,Lou.Help me help you.Stop shaking the frigging camera.

[@loucostabile]

See my reply above (in caps) that day is today :-)

[@paulgallant4830]

Very nice car! Obviously well maintained and loved. Curious as to why the owner neglected to repair the clock. In fact it seems more often than not, on many of the rides you feature Lou, the clocks on these beautifully restored vehicles don’t function. It’s not difficult to get them working so it’s puzzling why the owners who are so fastidious in the care they take with their rides ignore a simple issue like a clock! Their rides, their rules I guess.

[@loucostabile]

Hi Paul Gallant, Glad you like this one :-) You're right, sometimes the clocks work and sometimes they don't. Thank you for viewing and sharing, Lou

[@garbage854]

Nice :)

[@loucostabile]

Glad you enjoy this one :-)

[@ragimundvonwallat8961]

oh my god (faint)

[@loucostabile]

[@professorpatpending8731]

A very nice Mercury Cyclone there Lou. Heres a few vids from Australia that your Ford fans might like to watch: * Scott McLaughlin completes first 2.03 at Mount Panorama, Bathurst kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5urhp2KZZeCnrs ** Yager Performance, Ford Falcon XY-GTHO, Race 3 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqCvgYegepZ6kM0 *** Target: 300km/h in a FPV GT-F Falcon on the Stuart Highway, NT kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zqu5hYB3hM5_Y5o Have been around the circuit at Mount Panorama, Australia on two and four wheels.

[@loucostabile]

Thank you for sharing.

[@ImTheDaveman]

Wow, oh wow! If anybody hates this car, he should be slapped in da mouth and made to apologize to his mawma., for being an ingrate. Such a beautiful ride! I could easily get a major case of Smokin' Lead Foot if I were in the driver's seat.

[@loucostabile]

Hi ImTheDaveman, High respect for this one with a double "Wow" in the same sentence :-) Lou
