What are you working on?

First off let me beginning by saying I know this is not Spoiler, Spoiler II or even a pre-Spoiler Color Code car. However, it is a 1969 Cyclone and it is a very rare breed. When was the last time you saw a big block ram air car? How about a 428 CJ Ram Air car with air conditioning? I can’t remember seeing one, ever. Where would you expect to find such a rare car? My bet would be in the deep south, Florida or possibly out west in Arizona. Nope, it was sold new in Lancaster California. It does get very hot there in the summer.
Where is it today and where was it discovered? Australia!
One of our Team Members down under, Chris McQuade sent me these photos and a little info on the car.
It originally came equipped with:
-
C-6 Merc-O-Matic Transmission
-
Courtesy Lights
-
Electric Clock
-
F70X14 Traction Tires w/ Raised White Letters
-
Ram Air Induction
-
Console
-
Power Front Disc Brakes
-
Power Steering
-
Air Conditioner – Whisperaire
-
AM Radio
-
Rear Seat Speaker(s)
-
Decor Group
-
Tinted Glass-Complete
-
Styled Steel Wheels
Chis states that the car is rust free but the paint is faded. The 69 Cyclone CJ 428 is basically an untouched driver. His plans for the car are to do some work on the interior and suspension and leaving it as it is.
