The Comets were good little cars. More unique than a Falcon sedan.

Really fun twist is that the Montego and Comet in 1968 were the EXACT SAME CAR:

The yellow is a 1968 Comet.

The red is of course my 1968 Montego.

And finally my favorite Comet:

My favorite Comet is the Ford-backed rally-prepped Comet Caliente.

Why would they make it the same car? 1960 car manufacturing logic will continue to be a mystery to me.

zero logic.

It's literally the same car.

The Cyclone was technically it's own car too, while my Montego has a Cyclone PACKAGE on it.

What does the Cyclone package get the Montego?

First, it's awesome that the response in my notifications said you were responding to "Zero Logic" haha:

Kinja'd!!!

Second, to answer your question haha.

What does it get the Montego?! What does it get?!

A better front Sway Bar and Power Steering.

That's it.

Not even power brakes, not even disc brakes up front, still 4 drums. Thanks guys.

It's a rare option so it's pretty cool though and it ups the value of my car. I have the original window sticker and almost crapped myself when I was checking out the car to buy it. Guy had no idea it made it more rare/valuable. It's listed on the NADA report as Cyclone Grand Touring Package. Not a huge price increase, but a big rarity factor. And don't worry the HP rating is for stock with a 2 barrel. The intake, 4 barrel and dual exhaust helped in that department lol. Yes my C4 Ford 3 speed auto is called Merc-O-Matic. Awesome.
