About
From Wikipedia: A Cyclone GT convertible was the pace car for the 1966 Indianapolis 500. The Comet was originally planned as an Edsel model. It was reassigned to Mercury dealerships after the demise of the Edsel marque, where it was marketed as a standalone product for 1960 and 1961 as the Comet. Beginning in 1966, the Comet grew from a compact to become a mid-sized car. It was now based on the same chassis as the Ford Fairlane intermediate. The 335 hp 390 cid V8 engine was standard on the Cyclone GT. The Cyclone GT when equipped with an automatic transmission was referred to as the Cyclone GTA.
