History 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures

The Mercury Comets were the hot car at the drags in 64. Anyone have good pictures from back in the day? A/FX, stockers, whatever.

 

Obviously not a 64/65 but here's Jim McMurtreys Chevy powered '60. Love the driving position. Just a bit of an engine set back.

 

I've posted it before, but it's still the baddest Comet ever

 

LIONS, 1966

 

same day as above

 

could this be the ultimate sleeper... looks so much cleaner than the updated version.....

 

Any tail shots? Not a huge Ford fan, but man do I like a Comet of those years...

 

This car I bought in 1970 was an old drag car turned street car. This is the way I drove it home.
Don't have a picture with the slicks or skinny front tires, but she was a sreamer.

Had 289HP with factory 4spd, had scatter shield, Hooker headers, odd, but effective traction bars and 4:89 gears.

 

This might be the best shot of one of these Comets........CHARGE!!!!

 

I like how the headlights act like the bug catchers! Chrisman was a showman for sure

 

another one....

 

My future project. I plan to make a nostalga drag car out of it. It was a drag car since 1965. Only on the street for about a year.

 

My 1965 Cyclone i bought in 1982 and still have was supposedly a drag/street car. 289 with a 302 crank, real 289 HIPO heads and some oddball big valves, toploader 4 speed with Mr. Gasket Vertical Gate inline shifter, early 60's 9 inch rear axle, 2 Carter AFB's on the old Offenhauser low rise intake and a Fiberglass dual scoop ram air hood cut out for the dual quads. I still have it, has Torker 289 intake now but otherwise just like when I bought it. I left it sitting in Wisconsin in 1986 when I moved to Merced California brang it to Louisiana a few years ago but havn't touched it yet.
