RaptorR was a very long process getting on list and actually having a allocation for one then waiting a year for it to get built. In the end it was simply too much $$ and so pricey it was hard to really enjoy so let it go in favor of a very basic '23 STX I special ordered. Have had it 10 days now. So far only driven 235 miles. I don't need all the fancy garbage just more to go wrong. The STX i added only options I really wanted. I will use it to tow my car hauler and for long distance vacations but for the most part will sit in shop as want to keep it nice as possible for the longest time.
I have probably mentioned it in the past but my dream car since 1966 was a 1966 Cyclone GT. After all those years of searching finally found it a few months back.
A total unrestored car that just turned 57k documented miles and original from Paint/Body to interior, chrome, trim and all driveline. Only thing done to driveline is new intake and valve cover gaskets, belts, hoses, battery, water pump. Even all the steering and suspension components original to car.
Not a 61-66 slick but thought some would enjoy seeing it. Weather has been extremely HOT but have still driven it over 400 miles so far. Nearly double the miles vs new truck.
Drives fantastic with engine spec as it left the factory and stock dual exhaust. Transmission has never been out. 3.25 gear could be taller or could use a overdrive for long distance but a nice cruiser as is.
License plate has been on it since day of purchase July 27th 1966. I have all registrations since day 1. Even the wood grain steering wheel is near flawless Installed the 1966 AZ plate from the F100R Original paint has flaws but extremely nice for 57 years old

That’s an awesome find buddy!!! Glad you finally got it. That thing looks fantastic.

STX
was tired of tan n gray interiors so this had to be Black.
75th Anniversary. Special Order truck exactly what i wanted. Plan is to lower it 3” in front 5.5” in rear so it will fit under my 4 post hoist in side garage. Too long to fit in house garage.
in 1966 all GT’s had the S code 335hp GT 390 engine.
in 1967 because of camshaft change the GT 390 was 320hp
I have magazine road test article where a 1966 Cyclone GT ran 13.98 @ 103.8 1/4 mile in cold weather so very limited traction.
i plan on testing this one with dragy once weather cools and i can get fuel used back in 1966.
one of best running/power of the many 390’s i have had. Feels stronger than many “hopped up” 390’s.
There is a 1966 Cyclone GT 4 speed for sale on facebook in Addison Alabama. The car looks like it could be a builder or at least a parts car.
He's asking $3000.00.

parts are getting hard to find and expensive
if he is asking 3000 plus add 3000+ for shipping it’s too much for me. Do you have link?
if it’s solid rust free & all there 3k isn’t bad but always shipping that kills.
I don't know how to send a link but I did copy a couple pics off of the add. I think if you check the facebook marketplace in Addison Alabama for 1966 Cyclone GT it should pop up. It looks like it could be either a parts car or builder. The car has been for sale a few weeks so the seller may even give a better deal.

That car is not a Cyclone much less a GT. Looks very rough to me, If it were free not worth the shipping
