Harry is right, Cyclone Caliente with the standard 289, 210 hp. There is one sitting in my country, just looked at it 2 weeks ago, rotting away. The guy won't sell it. Sad!

Right about what? It looks like a Crites aftermarket fiberglas hood to me

Mark,

The hood design is correct, that is what I was referencing. The car I looked at has the same type of hood, don't know if it is fiberglass.

I had a friend in high school that had one of those cars with that hood. It was fiberglass. Dad hade a Mercury dealership. Don't know what option box you had to check to get it.

Re: What's with the hood...
 
I've never seen one ..There were a few A/FX cars built, kinda like the Thunderbolt.
I'd still like to see an original car and part #

Mike, maybe your friend had an A/FX hood bought over the counter.

I believe that hood was available in 64 on the Cyclone. There is one on E-bay now and I wrote the owner this morning and he says it is fiberglass. Good pics on E-bay of the bottom of the hood.
