Like many other club members I've had a long association with various Comets and   Fairlanes over the years. A very nice 63 Fairlane sports coupe, a 66 Cyclone GT,  a 66 Caliente hardtop and a 65 Caliente hardtop all many years ago when they were more common cars than they are today.  Since I located my current Cyclone GT, I have many times reflected on the first Cyclone I bought way back in 1971 and my lack of foresight in not stashing it away. The engine was blown (a 390 GT), the factory four speed and shifter were removed and installed in my 63 sports coupe, and the remainder was sold and became a local Victoria Super Stock race car powered by a 351 Cleveland, winning fame and glory for the blue oval.                                               

  My current Cyclone GT originates from Atlanta, Georgia according to the DSO code. How it ever arrived here is a mystery I have yet to unravel. I bought it in a Langley chicken barn disassembled into several boxes, but the body was rust free. The car was basically complete and by the time Halloween rolled around in 1995 a full restoration was underway.                                                  

  I have always enjoyed 60's cars, with a special attachment to the Fords of my youth. This car is no exception, it's my personal time machine and driving it rolls the years back. Now if I could just grow long hair again and find a factory eight track!
