as an aside , i used to own a '66 cyclone GT [ 4-speed ] convertible . they were fairly rare - about 2150 built . i lost it while going through a divorce several years ago .

Back when I was involved with the original Musclecar Nationals, a really nice 427 Comet R code appeared at our Atco show. For the life of me, I can't remember the owner's name but it was truly a stand up car in every way. The car was white, a hardtop, and I seem to remember a tan interior.
