It took me a while to find one of these, it is a pretty neat and rare car. I may be wrong but i think they only made somewhere around 1600 cyclones in 1970.
This Cyclone has been a great car to me for the past 5 years or so. It has always run great and never leaked any fluids or given me an issues what so ever.

This car doesn't seem like it has ever been taken apart or maybe even painted. The paint is not perfect, it is showing some fading, mainly only on the horizontal surfaces. It is still in great shape to drive it around and it not look bad at all, But its not perfect. The bumpers are in good shape, showing some normal signs of wear, but still straight, shiny, and dent free. The windows are all in nice shape with no cracks or issues, and go up and down smoothly like they should. The trunk lid is showing some rust on the rear lip (see pics). The wheels are all in excellent shape and the tires are in nice shape with no dry rot, with plenty of tread left. The front grille is all intact with no cracks or damage.
The interior is very nice and clean, the upholstery is all in nice shape, and looks to be all original to the car, judging by the materials. The carpet is the only thing on the interior I would consider changing if I wanted it perfect, the driver side near door sill has deteriorated, look like someone drove car without floor mats for a while in that one spot. The headliner is also near perfect with no issues. AC compressor, lines, dryer, etc etc, are all brand new and work excellent! It is nice and cold and cools the car very well! The power steering is very smooth. The front and rear brakes are all brand new with less than 20 miles on them. as well as some brake lines, They feel great. The radio does work, the gauges and interior lights all work as well. The trunk on the car is solid, but is showing its age, could use possibly a new trunk mat and a coat of paint, but I didn't want to paint it or clean it much, so you can get an idea of the condition of it. Spare tire and jack are in trunk. The motor doesn't look like it has ever been out of this car. It runs very strong, but very tame and quite at an idle. This is a very cool driving car. The AC and power steering and plenty of room for the kids makes this an all great driver in my opinion. This is truly a car you can get in and drive wherever need be and not worry about it leaving you stranded, or with a problem! I welcome and encourage anyone to come see the car before the you bid. If you have any questions at all please feel free to ask!
