this yellow cars decals looked original and even were flaking a little thats what had me thinking original paint car..it was clean but looked like it was driven as it should be...anyway it said Cobra & something and 428..it had a little lope at idle but not crazy, I glanced and it looked pretty stock under the hood and the owner was Joe Ford..I was impressed with the torque number and how clean it pulled..has to be a blast on the street to hit it hard..

Bud.

CJ stands for Cobra Jet.I mentioned on the previous post that there were 500 built.500 had to be built to be put into production so as of know I dont have numbers on this car.I have a friend that might have production numbers I'll call him about the car.

Previously, it was thought that 519 Spoiler IIs were built. This is not the case. More recently, the number has been 323, but I don't think this is true either.

Either way, a 1969 Spoiler or Spoiler II is eithe white and red or white and blue. All of the latter came with 351Ws. To determine if there's a freak out there, Marti Auto Works is the only way to find out. From all the posts here, there's too much misinformation to make any sense out of anything. If you want a yellow Spoiler, it'd have to be a '70-71, and the CJs that they were available with were 429s, of which MUCH more than 2 were built.

I've read the same information about the 500 number and the 323 number.I did alittle digging and found that 20 spoilers had the 428CJ with the drag pack.

Where did you find the SCJ info?

I don't think it's known how many of the Spoilers were regular Cyclones vs. Spoiler IIs. However, I think it's generally acknowledged that there were more IIs than regular Spoilers.

Um, wasn't it me who first suggested to check with Marti?

There is no book other than for Mustangs and Cougars. The demand is not there for the mid-sized cars. . . and that means Spoilers. The only way to get that is from one of his "reports" - and I have yet to see a Spoiler with one of those.

Not to cause an arguement but you mentioned on another post to check out Martis information on Cyclones to the guy that started this particular subject.Then you mention that Marti does'nt have this info after I suggested to check out Martis auto works???
