Jim McIlvaine's D&Z Customs 1969 Mercury Cyclone on Forgeline Rebel Wheels

[Forgeline Wheels]

If you had money, what would you do? Would you go downtown and buy a Mercury? Or two? Jim McIlvaine’s awesome ’69 Mercury Cyclone is probably the coolest Cyclone that you’ll ever see. This unique pro-touring machine was built by D&Z Customs and was on display in the Optima Batteries booth, at the 2018 SEMA Show. It’s powered by a Lingenfelter LS7 and rides on Detroit Speed suspension, Wilwood disc brakes, 335/30ZR18 BFGoodrich Rival S tires, and 18x12 Forgeline Rebel wheels finished with Gloss Black/HTM centers & Brushed outers!

I mistakenly called this a Torino in another thread. It's even cooler knowing it's a Cyclone. The wheels are so wide and fit this car so well.

The distributor and coil setup is cute!
