I just found that!!!.

Hello all,

I just found the ONLY picture of My Mercury Cyclone 1970 I totaled in 2000, this picture was taken a week when the insurance evaluator come to My home to evaluate de damages, ant this pics taked with his Polaroid sun 600 was a bit out of focus, and too much reflect of the brick of the home on the hood, the evaluator donated to me this pic.

OOPS!, I missed to write this: The accident in summer 1985, I washiznitted in a driver door by a stupid guy with a "rustang" not stopped on a red light

The picture is bad a lot, it's because I keeped this picture around 10 years in My wallet, and I just found in a drawer of My desk.

I personnaly taked a lot of pics with My 35mm when I was in amateur photo, but all was destroyed and My negatives was stolen in 1990.

The engine in this car was a 429 4V (4400 FoMoCo), C6 modded trans, 2.73:1 rear axle, this engine was a beast 450HP of PURE power...

Anything, anytime, anywhere, I just sad don't have this car today to PLAY with the tiny ricer :hick:

Here's the pic,

Have a nice day,

AH!, It's a guy donated to Me for a body job on his pickup (little bump), I sed for parts, LOT of good parts, I grabbed the complete dash (uncracked), the complete heater, the NEW radiator, NEW alternator, NEW starter, sunroof, tail lights, pwr steering pump, and a LOT of other things like that.

The engine was seized, and don't trusted the trans to keep (6 Years not running).

It was a parts car.

No, Not WHITE (not evident on this pic), the straping was GREY metallic, it was look like a silver arrow:hick:

With this stripe it was look like a skunk:D , especially when bumped one and traveling in the town just after:hick:

Hello, long time no see!...

NO, not this shot, this picture was taken in summer 1985 after I washiznitted by a Rustang, I totaled the car in 2000, very totaled, two rolls from rear to front, engine was go around 100feet away, and the battery 500feet away, the car was unrecognizable.

For sure in the pic the car is very not totaled, just the driver side door bumped.

Have a nice Day,

Dom.

No, not 130mph (but the car was run over that speed).

But ONLY at 110mph :hick:
