I dusted off the Comet last weekend

Very nice ride...!!

 

I like where this is headed
Skot

 

Pulled my 65 Caliente out of the barn after 35 years. I bought in new in Rochester Mi & put it away in 1972.

Now I have to get it to Oregon to give it a 390, 4spd & dropped beam axle. I'll post some pictures when I get back to Oregon.

 

Nice pics man! My Dad has an all orriginal 65 Caliente 289 2V 4 speed convert (red with white top and interior) that he wants to sell and find a 65 Cyclone hardtop like he had in high school. His was root beer brown with black interior, 289 4 speed. He said he traded a snowmobile for it, and totaly destroyed it racing around town. He said he ended up selling it for 50.00 to his buddy to make a bump-to-p*** car out of!!!

Man, I'd trade my Econo for a Comet wagon in a heartbeat.

i picked this one from my aunt a few years back its a cyclone but it lost its 289 back in the 70's when my grandpa blew it up now it has a 302 still has the auto trans though
