1970 Mercury Cyclone GT 429 Super Cobra Jet Drag Pak Test Drive

View this vehicle on our website for a complete description, price, and many photos.
This magnificent 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT 429 SCJ V8 Drag Pak has 15,392 original miles and is one of only 73 built with the 429 Super Cobra Jet V8 Drag Pak. It’s completely original matching numbers throughout including the rebuilt 429 SCJ V8 that dyno tested with 527HP and 599 Ft-Lbs. The Super Cobra Jet 429-4V V8 was the street version of the Boss 429 racing engine as stated in the original factory Mercury dealership brochure that’s included. It is fully documented with the original Ford (Lois Eminger) Invoice and Elite Marti Report both of which are included. This authentic car was the product of a high level rotisserie restoration and the attention to detail is evident throughout. This vehicle’s order type was an “A Plan Vehicle” which meant it was ordered by an employee of Ford or the selling dealership which in this case was Sesi Lincoln Mercury located in Ypsilanti, MI. It was ordered on September 23, 1969 as a 1970 Mercury Cyclone GT 2-door hardtop with a Competition Yellow exterior and Black Comfortweave Vinyl Hi-Back Bucket Seats interior. From the information gathered this car only had 15,000 original miles prior to the nut and bolt rotisserie restoration which was completed in 2020. The previous and current title states actual mileage. MS CLASSIC CARS purchased the car in July of 2021 and sold the car in February of 2022 to a previous customer who is avid classic car collector. This vehicle was on display in his museum until MS CLASSIC CARS purchased the car back in March of 2023.
The exterior of this car is in absolutely gorgeous condition throughout. It appears like a sleeper with it quiet demeanor but don’t be fooled. Some of the meanest Muscle Cars from the 60’s and 70’s looked like sleepers but were indeed high performance street machines. From the information gathered it retains all of its original sheet metal. The body is laser straight with great panel fitment. The overall bodywork is truly remarkable. The hood, doors and trunk lid close very nicely. The car was re-finished in its original color of Competition Yellow paint, Ford #3470-A. The paint work is spectacular to say the least. It was recently detailed to a brilliant show quality shine by the team at MS CLASSC CARS. The Ram Air induction hood, dual racing mirrors, concealed headlights, black lower body-side painted and Cyclone GT 429 emblems give it the perfect amount of muscle car appearance. The wheels have factory hub caps, bright trim rings and are wrapped with B.F. Goodrich Silvertown G78-14 whitewall tires.
The interior of this is car in beautiful condition throughout. When you open the driver’s door and slide into the spacious cabin it feels like its 1970 all over again. The black comfortweave vinyl interior is mostly original and truly remarkable considering. It appears to be all original with exception of the carpeting and a few miscellaneous items. The Hi-back bucket seats are still firm and very comfortable. The seat belts still retain all the original date coded tags. The door panels are outfitted with the factory Cyclone badging. The rim-blow sport steering wheel is in front of the 140-mph speedometer. The 8000-rpm tachometer, oil pressure, engine temperature and ammeter gauges are recessed individually into the dash. This design and the Hurst shifter continue the muscle car appearance in the cabin. It sports a new set of black carpeted floor mats with the words Cyclone on them. Everything in the interior is in working order.
The engine compartment is highly detailed with many correct parts throughout. The car is powered by the original matching numbers 429 Super Cobra Jet V8 engine that was factory rated at 375HP. MS CLASSIC CARS had this engine completely rebuilt by NATS Engines in Seekonk, MA. The decision was made at the time of the rebuild to use higher performance parts for better reliability and increased horsepower. The engine was bored .80 over and stroked to a 533ci. It has the factory intake and Holley carburetor #D00F-9210-N. The engine is dressed with the factory Ram Air Induction which is in working order. The engine dyno tested wit with 527 horsepower and 599 Ft-Lbs. of torque. The engine breathes through the factory manifolds and correct style reproduction dual exhaust system with chrome tips that sounds awesome! Everything in the engine compartment has been restored or replaced. The engine is coupled to original matching numbers 4-speed transmission with factory Hurst shifter. The power is transferred to the original “Drag Pak” 3.91 Traction-Lok rear axle.
The undercarriage is also highly detailed throughout with many correct parts.

I love this cyclone! Many people seem to not care for the yellow paint but I personally think it is great. A definite positive for a yellow car is that it sticks out on the road like a soar thumb and if I'm not mistaken, yellow cars are less likely to be in accidents due to their undeniable presence on the road because everybody sees it. This cyclone gt is rarely ever seen anymore. There just isn't many remaining in this good of shape. The sound of that 429 is like music to my ears.

[@mkowboy13]

You bet it’s sporty!

[@daviduruski7848]

If that color was on a Mopar they would love it

[@georgehays4900]

Sore thumb unless you cut it off and throw it then it soars.

I remember when this car and other cars of this era were new. Its a damn shame are streets are now filled with ugly ass foreign cars.

LOVE how it broke loose in 2nd! Nice ride.

It gets up and goes!

[@joeturner7959]

527 Horse power. It ill break loose at 60Mph. This car is the *perfect* restore. Brilliant work. Just wish they spent more time showing off the engine compartment.

[@kimchristensen6962]

One of the coolest early 70's dash-boards I've ever seen.

[@bradlangston4230]

You should check out the dash on a cyclone from 69. I love the 69' dash as well as the 70'. They both have a unique look.

[@revsstuff1320]

Torinos and Cyclones were so underrated. Beautiful car!

awesome sound on start up looks like it pulls real hard for a big car love the color and love MERCURYS

[@trucking604]

Always loved the 70 and 71 Cyclone with the 429CJ or SCJ, great combo. Gentlemens muscle car.

[@MSClassicCars]

The ultimate sleeper!

[@edwardskoda2409]

@@MSClassicCars Indeed. You can see my 70 XR7 Convertible but I see an awful lot of Mustangs at classic car shows. I always wanted a Cyclone Spoiler but the closest I got was my 70 Torino 429 SCJ.

[@willy3177]

My best friend had a 1970 cyclone gt 429cj and his buddy at work had a 1971 cyclone spoiler. What an amazing set of cars.

[@MSClassicCars]

They are awesome cars!

[@GooglePixelGoogle]

Very nice Cyclone! I know what you mean about the bigger cars riding smooth. I have a 1972 Gran Torino Sport 4spd 351CJ, and it rides so smooth. The Cyclone has always been one of my dream cars and yes, you hardly ever see them at even car shows.

[@LORISSABOOBMAN]

Had a 72 Gran Torino 351-4V (CJ) added the Sport Hood it came with Magnum 500's set of 5, i put over 100k on it used after i refreshed the bottom end & cam timing stuff cloyes set at 78k. It would put the rubber down had the higher stall torque convertor, a square flanged spread bore dual plane intake added a O-3310 750CFM 96 feet of rubber all dialed in. H7014 Polyglas GT's

[@donnovicki9771]

You don't see much from Mercury at the shows. I did see a Mercury P/U truck at one about a year ago. Very rare.

[@iggyfritz7150]

I used to own the same car, did you know the engine is 4bolt main, and it has a factory 3200 rpm Stahl converter. With proper carb, mild cam, good tune your easily over 400hp. Those cleavelands breath like a big block. Keep her and take great care. A perfect car of luxury and speed.

[@raullevine3473]

1972 Gran Torino sport ride nice because it was a body on frame not a unibody like the earlier ones.

[@edwardpate6128]

I am pretty much a GM and Mopar guy but I'll say this is pretty awesome.

[@killroyjohnson1256]

I'm a Fordman and Mopar , but I love and respect a cool classic GM product. As long as it's American made and bad ass, it's good in my book. 🇺🇸👍😉👍🇺🇸

Kind of sad there's no more Mercury.😢

[@kurtwise7356]

Nice car but don't say everyone has Chevelles and Camaros mine is one of the rare Chevelles same year 70 but it's a SS 454 LS-6 with Muncie Rock Crusher 4 speed! Bring it north and we will see how that Ford does!

[@arkhsm]

LOVE IT ! Only thing I'd change is the rear end gears to 3.25 to 1. A huge torquey 533 ci V8 does not want to be spinning a 3000 at just 60 mph. Should still pull strongly from 2500 !!

[@PatandDoopypoopy]

Overall it might be faster with a taller gear in it. It would be able to use the torque curve longer. Five hundred horse power is nothing these days. However six hundred pounds of torque is epic. Especially naturally aspirated. Who would expect that. Nobody.😅😅😅

[@mikeys7536]

Some long tube headers would sound good on that big block.

[@hkguitar1984]

Really Cool, thanks for sharing. Pretty amazing, riding around in an old Cyclone watching all the ugly modern cars on the road really puts things into perspective. Great car, again, thank you for sharing.

[@MSClassicCars]

Thank you!

[@NoStringsAttached777]

Great car, manual big block, very hard to beat. Anybody know what it's worth?

[@1967mercurycougar]

They may be asking $150K but I don’t think one has ever sold anywhere near that. I own a cyclone spoiler which I have $75K in and it probably wouldn’t sell for that. I’d be happy if you prove me wrong.

[@hoost3056]

Saw an unopened 429 SCJ ( 18k miles ) engine on KZbin with headers put out 484 hp stone stock. Now 533ci might be a little healthier😅

My brother in law had a 70 Merc, blue with a white vinyl top. Car was beautiful. I didn't have my license but did have a learners permit and one time he and my sister went on vacation for a week and man did I have a blast with that car. Obviously Yellow is my favorite color.

[@happyrv2061]

true story. In 1977 I was working for the CNR railroad and making good money. I was single and a drinker. I bought a Baby Blue 1971 mercury Cyclone form a used car lot in saskatoon sask for $1800 bucks. It had a 429 4 speed and all the goodies. Man did it go !! You could blaze the bake tires with NO effort and easily go 120 MPH. Sadly.... It breaks my heart to tell the rest of the story.......I headed home from the job sight on friday. the whole crew had been drinking....I hit the ditch at 80mph and demolished the under side of the car. Bent wheels, tore off the drive shaft ECT. we didnt get hurt but the car was Done. Had it for only 4 days. I soooooo wished I still had it. But those were the days,...muscle cars all over the place and cheap to buy.

[@electrichellion5946]

Bummer bout the car. Heck I wish I still had it! LoL

[@ronintoecutter7690]

Respectfully speaking. I would’ve liked a complete walk around of the car to include the engine compartment. As far as what I can see of the car, I love the idea of a V8 and a stick shift. However, that steering looks horrible. It looks like you’re driving an old truck. You know, 3 on a tree.

[@MSClassicCars]

Respectfully, we have another video showing a full walk around. Thanks.

[@LORISSABOOBMAN]

John Kass can build you a awesome Boss 429 572 for any Torino guys. Not any endorsement i wish i have seen his motors on the dyno & used!

[@429supercj]

Boss heads don't fit you need to mod the shock towers to make it work.

[@supervidere7]

Big bloc lift the nose, like that

[@chrisabcdefg8171]

Awesome car! You just dont see the cool Ford/Mercs anywhere. When I retire, im going to try and find one of these big Ford/Mercs like a Cyclone or Talladega. Rare and very unique.

[@ronintoecutter7690]

In that car even at my age, I would have to get on it and show off. I love mixing a stick shift with a V-8.

[@radioguy1620]

Best not to flip you hand over when turning the wheel. limits your return to the other direction !

[@sergeantmasson3669]

Hemi eater.

[@q95oldies57]

Smooth. What's the difference in the Cyclone and Torino?

[@429supercj]

Not a lot of difference mostly just some body lines and interior options. The cyclone is just the Mercury version of the Torino

[@williamforrest4371]

EXCELLENT FORD FACTORY RACE CAR

[@scottsavard80]

Is it sold yet?

[@geekers3005]

Had a 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler with 429 CJ. Had to sell it in 1984 while in college to put food on the table. $800. Ouch! Candy apple red. 0 to 60 in about 4 secs. Tire spin limited shorter times.

[@bgjb-r1499]

Beautiful car. The 429 SCJ is a very nice motor. The killer was always weight, bet the Cyclone with a full tank of gas weighs 4400lbs (easy). Just imagine this motor in a 3500lbs mustang.

[@joequillun7790]

I know, right?

[@DwightGoodman-u3t]

My second cousin bought a new one, late in 69, New Years night 1970, he hit a large popular tree, right side They estimated his speed at 140 at Impact! Limbs as big as my arm snapped out of the top of the tree. The 429 came out of the car and traveled 30 feet and hit a house. It to this day is the worst torn up car I ever saw. There was a pile of pieces at the salvage yard. The only thing I saw still in tack was the spare tire bolted to the trunk floor! Unfortunately, my cousin was picked up in pieces also!!! He was racing a mustang on a country road. It has been a stern reminder to me all my life. I'm 69 now.

[@enriqueal62]

Was a super "serious"winner...impresionant..a great muscle car...

[@TheSpritz0]

IF I had a time machine I would go back to 1970 and get one FULLY loaded with the automatic!!!🥰

[@clinteast7476]

Everybody has a chevelle?? not so..Everybody wants a Chevelle more like it..

[@BuddyHollyTexas]

If you have eyes to see. One can see the degeneration of American vehicles, architecture, fashion, interior design from the 70s to 2000s. From being sleek, mean, and possessing unique flare amongst a myriad of different models from each company; we now have 1-3 models per company that are easily damaged, more expensive in price/maintenance, and ugly. Some people think this is purely for profit. I know the negation of our once Great Nation is nearing its climax. This is a small example of what we once were.

[@MikeMarengo-qs4lt]

What I couldn't understand back in the muscle car wars all the big block Fords were only pushing 350 to 375 hp when just a small block 350 had about the same hp and torque ratings...Now I know all the manufacturers underrated those specs but a big block Chevy had so much more hp and torque... As much as 450 and that was underrated

[@hendo337]

With 600tq and 527hp, this is probably a case where the car might actually be quicker with a wide ratio top loader and a 3.00 or even a 2.73 axle ratio, if it's a huge stroker with everything else on top factory with a mild cam, all the power must be down low and it probably swings to the top of the tach too quick and gets to where it's out of breath too soon, 3.91 is probably too short of gears for on the highway too. It would probably swing the tach with similar enthusiasm and generate more mph with a taller gear, like a turbo diesel truck.

[@styldsteel1]

Your right about the chevelles, camaros, mustangs...blah blah blah. common, boring, cliched, everyday, dime a dozen What I call "walk on by cars" . With your Cyclone? Rare as can be. Id don't think I've ever seen on at any car show, or car cruise.

[@Longshotforsure]

Had one identical orange and black put hooker big tube headers , blue streak dual points , hays clutch, pressure plate , and throw out bearing had to double reinforce all linkages to it even bent the adjustable rod and bracket , wrinkle walls with truck inner tubes , air shocks power shift at 5800 rpm’s bumped timing up to 13 degrees

[@richarddevoe5871]

Oh that’s an impressive setup… you can tell the power that’s available was barely touched and could really put you back in your seat if you ever truly got on that pedal. Love it !!

[@mattwalker8747]

Nice car and video. I got a laugh when you said you would put that up against any LS6. I would send you down for a random. Lol

[@michaelcoger4626]

One of my army buddies bought a new Torino Cobra with the same 429 drag pack. I had a 69 Camaro 396/375. We would run the drive in class at the drag strip in Clarksville,TN. If I didn't get him off the line he could run right with me. Fast car . It was that same yellow color.

[@joebacarella2829]

These cars were meant to be driven, problem is they are so expensive, there trailer queens now, You just don`t see these Cyclones anymore, they are rare indeed, this is a beauty.

It had the hardware for sure but I think the AMC Matador was the only 70s car uglier than this. We used to walk past a dead one on our way to school and laugh at that big snozz it had. But at least you could show the back end to a lot of cars with the big Cobra!

[@getoffenit7827]

I love those cyclones,My Dad bought a 70 with the drag pack in 1974,It had been hit in the back He bought it at an insurance auction for $350 with the intention of using the undamaged parts on a customers 70 cyclone..BUT..my mom totaled the 72 Torino wagon..Dad had zero money,his shop truck and Ford F250 wrecker. So he had to get a rear clip for the 70 cyclone he got it all fixed and painted...He HATED the looks of the Cyclone especially the Grill...he and my mom called it a 'Cyclops' instead of Cyclone because of that weird looking grill center. But he loved how it rode,it was comfy spacious and nasty FAST!! i remember riding in it and he would hammer the gas and rip thru the gears and it was insane!! I wish he couldve kept it but he got an offer for the car and he sold it..That really bothered him but he needed the cash he got back what he had in it and a pretty good profit

[@JimsFastbackGarage]

Well, seeing, this thang took me back to my early childhood. Dad's 70 Cyclone GT was identical to this except the engine. It was a 351 4V 4-speed Cleveland car. I was very sad the day it went bye-bye!

[@mattcragon6482]

Thanks for posting. This really brings back memories of me. In the late 80's I had a 71 Cyclone GT. It was two tone green and had the 351 Cleveland with a C4 auto. I used to think it was just the Cyclone Spoilers that got the 429, but I see that was not actually the case. I always loved the dash on these cars with the gauges across the dash canted toward the driver. Mine also had those vacuum hide away headlights. The hoses would leak and by morning the car would look like it was high, as the headlight covers would creep up overnight as vacuum was lost in the system. Nice example. Thanks again for posting!

[@TheRoguelement]

Hey bro .. My very dear friend has one but I'm sure he's rolling in his grave that someone would choose that color combo then go ahead and compound the insult with white walls OMG Ole Henry Ford is surely rolling in his grave as well ...So a Chevelle isn't the same sized car as the Goat ? or the 442 Or the Buick GS ? and it's so funny watching you shift that car from 2 to 3 because I can close my eye's and see my good friend punching the dash and breaking the knobs off when his BS Hurst "T" handle came loose in fact he nearly broke his wrist .. well the next time I was in that car it had a white H pattern ball ..

[@randallbates9020]

Guy sounds like a Rhode Islander. I was born there and recognize a southern New England accent anywhere plus garbage roads. Lol.

Also loved the fact you beat on it, when it counted. Could feel the tires just don't like that motor. Wish you knew the rear gear. 3K, @ 60, sounds like only 3.50s. Can't imagine a set of 3.90s, or lower. Definitely needs slicks. By the way, New Bedford, or Fall river? Brocktonian myself. Thanks for the ride.

Just WOW...amazing to hear that smooth, quiet lifter , forged piston precision with that Super Cobra Jet Drag Pack drivetrain. Reminds me a bit of my brothers 71 Boss 351 he had in the 80s, it was all BOSS 351 drivetrain - but sadly it only had a standard 4 BBL Cleveland - as the original motor was lost racing. TO have that bored 429 in that car would have been a death sentence for us snot nosed punks ....lol!
