Mpc 1970 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler 70’s street machine flavor

Recommended Posts

I wrapped this build up today. There is a brief build thread of this project in the wip threads. I was going for something you would’ve seen in the pages of a mid seventies Car Craft magazine or something that would’ve come rumbling into the local Saturday night hang out back then. Idea being someone special ordered a black Spoiler in 1970 and very shortly after began modifying it until it got to the point you see here years later. Day 6 if you will. Any questions,comments are always welcome.

Beautiful looking paint and vinyl roof. Like the back story and helps with the time frame for the Tunnel Ram Dual Quads. The Cyclone Spoiler never got them attention it deserved when new.

Hello! Beautiful Cyclone Spoiler!! I'm quite envious and if the keys were left in it I'd be gone! 

    I do have a question was the front "air dam" kit supplied or some of your own handy work? Kudos!...very nice ride!

Thanks Kevin. The original kit never came with the front spoiler but I have a ‘70 Spoiler resin kit that I had bought some time ago from Time Machine resin. I had to make a copy of the front spoiler that is in that kit so it’s not my handy work but sure is a nice piece.

Thanks David, I totally agree on not enough attention on these. Mercury muscle is one of my favorites...especially these Cyclones !

Hi Sir!

Very nice, and absolutely period correct. Even the roof is in tune with the times. Bravo!

I bought the Stock-car version, and made a Pro-Touring of it, Not complete yet, but you give me the itch to go for it!

Thanks Claude, I’d love to see your pro touring version.

I love everything about this build. A wicked period street prowler, and the shiny black paint makes it look all the more mean. Nice detailing, too. Very cool!

Thanks Trevor

Fantastic job on one of my favorite cars (and I believe most under appreciated cars) of all time. How badly I wish they would reissue the stock version of this kit!

Thanks Mike

"Black widow" would be my name for this very menacing street machine. Paint finish and detail work is very good, well done. 

Cheers, 

David. 😎👍

Thanks David
