One of the girls who worked there bought one of these, her very first new car, and was so pleased and proud that she had to drive it over and show it to my Mom. 202 2-door sedan, in burgundy, I don't remember interior color but it might have been some kind of tan. I'm sure it had a 6 and might well have been the cheapest (no options) car that Mercury built or sold that year, but she was so happy with it! If/when I ever get a '67 Cyclone built, it will be burgundy in tribute to that memory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not know about it. Does the kit come with a proper Plain-Jane 202 bench seat interior? I assume grille, bumpers, headlights, taillights, chassis, and engine can all be sourced from AMT's modern '67 Cyclone kit? Though my folk's car was powered by the 200 cu. in. straight-six, I could live with a 390 V-8 under the hood from the Cyclone kit in my model of a Comet 202.

Website says body, hood, chrome rear bumper. $35 and that's a steal--MCR stuff is NICE and they ship pretty quickly too. They rate Two Fangs Up from the Snakepit!
