Hey POP I may branch out a little as well. My buddy was making a delivery in a alley the other day and noticed a 66 cyclone in a lady's garage. He said it looked pretty decent. The lady was out so he asked her if she was interested in selling it. She said she wasn's sure, but gave him her name and number to pass along to me. We'll see. Oh, And she says to him "That's a 4 speed car you know" I'm thinkin' COOL!!! Mark

Pop, the hand is doing good and I will go back to Falcon building Tuesday morning. I put my wheels for sale on TFFN this morning and messed up the picture posting on this forum before my wife said it was time for church. I get home and was going to post them on this site and Craigslist.. I turn the computer on and check my emails before posting the pics and a man form TFFN says he wants the wheels today. I think I sold them too cheap .

Pop, I would check on it. I told the story at the Gathering that I have a 1971 Cyclone Spoiler, 429 SCJ, 4sd. car in my garage. Ken H., a good friend of mine, from Memphis called me one evening in tears saying he could not maintain the car in storage due to going thru a bad divorce and that he needed me to come get the car out of storage. I went to Memphis with a trailer that day and picked the car up. I now have the car. Ken came to the Gathering and you met him. He and his new wife went out to Mama's Kitchen to eat with us and sat with Mary Anne. He is the person that is dealing with cancer but wanted to come and see all the Comets. I would really like to get the car up and running and drive it to him. Between chemo and radiation I'm not sure if he will be able to drive it but I would love to get the car back to him so he could see and drive it. It was the only Cyclone Spoiler that came to the Tri-state area (Tn., Miss, Ark.) when ordered. He ordered the car from a dealership in Memphis. There were only 254 of the cars built. I'm not sure how many 1970's were built but very few are out there today. I hope you check on it and the guy was up front with you. Take care, Corky
