Cyclone and Torino parts go hand in hand; odds are against finding Cyclone parts. The Cyclone wasn't a soft-top option. Ford "muscle" cars are available (think '69 Mach I). Cougars were nice as well to stay in the "family".
As a daily driver, you can find a project car (depending on your budget) and build from there. As for the delivery business, find a different car.
As far as mileage goes, it depends on a lot of factors. Stock v. custom, et al. I owned a stock 70 Cyclone w/a 351C that could average 20 MPG/city. I had a friend w/a '70 GTO (custom) who averaged 2 gal/mile. I swear - he hit the pedal, and you could watch the needle fall.
