    Man, I just finished reading the November issue of Mustangs and Fords, and low and behold, I saw a name I recognized! G.S. Johnson!! Wow, I just had to take a look at that article. He located a 1969 Mercury Cyclone Spoiler II, Cale Yarborough Special (one of 253 produced)! Just one question GS, how in the heck do you find all these rare cars? Connections, and pretty damn good luck I guess. Too bad he wouldn't sell though. :( Anyway, I just thought the conicidence was way too cool not to mention. Check out Mustangs and Fords, page 84 for more info. Way cool!

    saw one of those Cale specials on ebay last week for sale It was listed under Ford/Other and Mercury/Cyclones models. Appeared to be in good shape...but as Ive found out looks can be deceiving:p
