CHRIS'S COMMENTS
$74.1k is a lot of money for a fairly ordinary-looking muscle Ford, but it's a tough car to value with so few in existence. Cars like this trade on historical importance and personal nostalgia, rather than intrinsic value. Depending on the seller's objective, $74k is pretty good, but he might just re-run it on eBay a few times to see if there are any more rabid takers. ~~~ It ain't pretty, but it's very rare, it's very clean and it's very fast.

OWNER'S COMMENTS
1964 Mercury Comet "Cyclone" - Factory Lightweight AF/X Race Car. One of Seven originally built by Mercury. Extremely rare and in Concourse Condition. Out of the Pat McGroder Collection (owned by McGroder for eighteen years). These cars were built to complement the Ford Thunderbolts which had a production of 110 cars. Fiberglass Front End, Bumpers, Doors, Trunk Lid with Plexiglass Windows. Raced by Ed Rachanski and still titled in his name. Restored and Documented by Renowned Restoration Expert - Donald Allen from Clarksville, Georgia. This car is phenominal!!!!! 427 Cubic Inch "High Riser" and a Four Speed with Factory Nine Inch Rear Differential. The motor has just been freshened and runs like a "Monster". This is one of the rarest Factory Race Cars in existance. Call John at 602-840-0122 or 602-692-5766 with any questions. Buyer pays actual shipping from Phoenix, Arizona. Money Wire Transfer only. Payment to be completed within three business days from completion of auction. In brand new concourse condition. This car shows near perfect. Paint, Interior, Trunk, Undercarriage and Engine Compartment are gorgeous. "Cyclone" has original J.C. Penney's Slicks on rear.…..
