Tom Wollscheid’s 1968 Mercury Cyclone GT 390 Story

1968 mercury cyclone 390

Influenced by his Father, Tom Wollscheid has always been attracted to 1968 Ford muscle cars. In fact, he had a ’68 Torino back in the day. So as it happened to many that grew up in the glorious days of American V8’s, when the time was right, Tom bought another ’68 Ford powered vehicle, the Mercury Cyclone GT you see.

Tom hasn’t kept the car 100% stock, but despite the few little mods he has done to it, the 1968 Mercury Cyclone retains its classic appearance. Being a GT, his car sports the S-code 390 V8 engine, and as you will see in the road test towards the end of the video, the powerplant runs and sounds fantastic.
