        Comments: The Story of a 1969 Mercury Cyclone GT Color Code. This Mercury Cyclone GT was born from a Ford factory order bearing a rare six-digit DSO number (212115); the mark of a genuine factory special-order car, processed through the very same ordering system Ford used for models like the Shelby Mustangs. On December 13, 1968, it rolled off the line at the Lorain, Ohio plant, finished in special factory paint (white over an Indian Fire Red roof) and equipped with a 390 S-code engine and a C-6 transmission. Four days later, it was delivered to Leader Lincoln-Mercury in downtown Atlanta. Whether this Mercury ever played a role in homologation can’t be proven — but as a working theory, it’s entirely plausible. Commissioned to the dealer as an Atlanta Special Stock Order, the car then lingered in the showroom for an unusually long time — a full 17 months — possibly serving as a display vehicle for the new Cyclone Spoiler. Whether it was a homologation filler or a showroom piece remains an open question for us, and one we are still researching. Its first owner — a woman from Atlanta — held on to the Cyclone for nearly 29 years before it changed hands to a buyer in Missouri in 1999. In 2018 it was offered with roughly 45,000 miles, and somewhere along its years in the States it took on its reversible Cale Yarborough livery. In 2024, the car made its way to Germany, passing through two Bavarian owners before reaching its current owner in the Erding district. We love this 1969 Mercury Cyclone GT — a Cale Yarborough Special Cyclone Spoiler tribute — and savor every mile behind the wheel.
