History 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures

beautifull car!

 

Hope everyone had a Merry X-MAS

Heres my vintage pic of the day.The roadster idea didnt last that long,Did something happen or did the funny bodys just take over?

 

Thanks Ken, You have a killer collection of Mercury's! That would be great if you head East for some N/SS racing, I'm guessing your going to the York Reunion and Beaver Springs Dragway?

 

That top-less Comet in the far lane is Ed Rachanski's (sic) Super Marauder. It's one of the real factory-built A/FX'ers and yeah.......is a valuable car. Anyway, somewhere around 1980 or so (give or take a couple years in either direction), Hot Rod Magazine showed a photo of it in their Roddin' At Random column sitting in a corn field with it's original Halibrands still intact, roof welded back on, etc. I'll have to try and dig that up.

 

A friend of mine drew this a couple of years ago.

 

Hey jody Heres a pic of my dads daily driver at the dick brannan Ford Southwest show in Arizona in 06.

Alice Cooper loved the car.I guess he is a huge Galaxie fan who knew

In the background you will see the green model T Thats my buddy Erics( Who has the R code burgandy Galaxie that he is putting the cammer in,Shown in the other thread on here) Grandfathers car.

 

How about some drag music.Some comet slides in here.Check out the 63 galaxie with the cut outs in the teardrop hood. Annette is hot

 

A friend of mine put this together for fun.

 

I did not finish it.I put it on hold while I was helping Steve with his 65 Comet and it is still on hold until I finish a new project. Jim

Does brent hajek own the Shartman car?If so does he ever take it anywhere?

What is suppose to be the official color of that car,sometimes it looks red and sometimes it looks burgandy?

 

My Classic Car had Hajek's collection on in 2008 with Shartman's '65 Comet.

Yep that's the car I saw at Columbus. Mr. Hajek used to bring several cars to the PFCA Expo.

 

Ken;in that photo of my Comet below Dyno's,look at the water running on my left tire,that was NOT fun!! I was in the left lane and the car headed for the wall,hit the brakes to bring the car down.I had pulled through the water,waiting to burnout when the car before me broke.They backed me up to get him and clean up then I pulled back through the water and did my burnout,obviously WAY too much water!!! YEEHAAA!!!! I have a couple of posters of Eddie's 65 and the Comet looks Burgandy.ROY.

 

Heres a couple vintage pics for the day.Notice the washer spacers to max out the tire clearance.

 

Look at the spacer for the tie rod end.Its a ggod thing they were going straight

 

Wouldnt mind having the jacket.
