found 1969 r code Cyclone how rare?

I just found in a farmers field a 69 Cyclone fastback with an R code (engine in it is a 2v big block )fifth digit, Buckets console , power windows p.brakes. the only thing missing is the grille but the car looks like it was pushed there with a backhoe. My question to you gentlemen is how rare is this beast and how hard should I try to save a rusty beatup old supercar?

Are you kidding?? a 69 Cyclone "R" code (428 CJ)....and its got power windows????? Jeeeez!! I'd snatch that up as quickly as I could, even if it does have rust!
I'm not sure of production figures, but ANY Cyclone is a rarity nowdays....heck, even a plain old Montego is not very common anymore. How many do you see in your daily commute?? Not many!
You better grab that car!

if your not interested, let me know, if its in Canada. Be a nice cruizer for sure.

I thought the "R" meant something but all I could remember was "Q", guess I'll try to buy the old girl she's sitting in a field in Alberta surrounded by an overturned 40 Ford coupe and a 47 Ford 2 door sedan I love finding lost gold!

P.S. the power window switches on the door kind of threw me I'd never seen them before.

good luck.... take some pix of the cars next time you go out. Also of the 40 ford, be interesting to see that one.
