Background
The Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II is a muscle car that was produced by Mercury in early 1969. The Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II was a special, more aerodynamic version of the Mercury Cyclone. It was produced specifically to compete against the Dodge Charger Daytona and Plymouth Superbird produced by Chrysler, and the nearly identical Ford Torino Talladega, in NASCAR stock car racing, and was sold to the public only because homologation rules required a minimum number of cars be produced and made available for sale to the public. A total of 503 cars were built in both Yarborough (285) and Gurney (215) versions, a during the first few weeks of 1969.
