High quality and great detail describe this 7" long diecast from GMP. It even comes with floor mats!! You have to see the quality to believe it.
The blue Gurney cars were intended for the east coast and the red Yarborough cars for the west but a great marketing strategy had Ford sending the cars to opposite coasts. Although originally claimed production numbers topped 500-only 353 cars actually exist because of an alleged slight of hand on behalf of Ford and Mercury. In 1969, NASCAR required that a minimum of 500 cars be constructed to be eligible to race. It is said that due to the time required to build these special beauties, Ford was forced to mix a number of standard cyclones painted the same as these rare cyclone�s into a large parking area when NASCAR completed a visual count of the cars to verify that the minimum of 500 had actually been completed. Mercury claimed 4 NASCAR victories in 1969 with the Cyclone II. PRODUCT FEATURES:
