I just saw this article, I am more familiar with ‘64’s but I know enough about ‘65’s to realize there are many incorrect statements in this article.

The problem is some fool will read this and think it is gospel.
‘65 Cyclone article- Poorly written many mistakes
Re: ‘65 Cyclone article- Poorly written many mistakes
I think he got 3-4 things right! maybe. but yea very poorly written. bad ,that's the worst article I've ever read on anything. I think a junior high student could research for one night & do a lot better than that. that's terrible.

One thing is certain from my experiences, very few people know Comets exist, much less Cyclones.
That's what makes this forum so valuable

That is straight garbage, one of the worst articles I have seen. Most articles have a mistake or two. This article has more incorrect information than correct.
1965 Mercury Cyclone former drag car, 1971 Boss 351 engine, 4 speed, ladder bars, etc. Now returned to a street car.

X10! Biggest pile of BS I've ever read! Not only are most of his "facts" wrong, it reads like a 10th grade homework assignment. This jack-leg website claims to be "the go-to site to keep up to date on everything in the automotive industry" with "10 million readers a month". They also claim "Our team of contributors are passionate gearheads who share a deep knowledge of car culture, industry, and automotive engineering with an approachable editorial style. The result? HotCars has something for everyone who loves driving, modding, or just admiring cars. Our contributors and editors come from all walks of life, with diverse specialties, passions, and educational backgrounds. Nevertheless, we are connected by one thing: a passion for burning rubber!" BARF!!
