History 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures

No Big Deal, jump on a 527, (Yes, 527cid) FE, Roy.... Haha. Sorry, no $$$$ to help that campain!
Eric

 

A 527??? I don't know about that.

My '64 started out with a 260!

LOL

 

4.375 X 4.375, makes for a nice sound.... I bet that would make some SOHC heads start to work!
Eric

 

Frog, those Comets are looking mighty good!
That wagon is pretty cool, and I have room in Colorado to store it for a while?????
Eric

 

I'm sure it would sound great. It would also probably twist that station wagon in half.

 

Thanks. If I grab it, I'm gonna want to drive it.

For old time's sake. Know what I mean?

 

I agree, and understand, Good Luck!

 

I just know this one would look good with a cammer in it.

 

Uhm.... I think your right, Ken. Plus Eddie would wet his pants!

 

Eric and Ken;I like how you two have all my money that I will make in the rest of my life spent on a FE.Can I come park my trailer at one of your homes?That is where I would have to live in order to have a big inch FE in the Comet!!!!I may have to put my stock bumper back on,it looks good in those photos!! ROY.

 

JunkYardFrog;that dark blue 64 Caliente in post #2167 belongs to my friend Tim Oneal.It is [was]running a 351W out to 393" with a centrifical blower,runs 9.40s.He crashed at this years March Meet[video is on here],the Comet is being rebuilt,looking to have it done for next season. ROY.

 

That's a screamin' 351W!!! Wish I still had my '70 Cougar with a 351C.

Tim probably has the best looking Comet I've ever seen. For some reason that dark blue is perfect for me. Sorry to hear he crashed it. Is he okay?

Where will he be racing it?

P.S. I see an old CA license plate. Is the car street legal?

 

Hell Roy, I'll put you up in a room in the house. (Hope you like dogs!) Room for the trailer, and a keg of beer, in the heated shop. It's 21 degrees today, and windy!!
Some how, I bet SO Cal is somewhat warmer.
Your welcome out here, anytime. PS, it's only money. I figure I'd rather die in debt, so the gubmint don't get it all!

Eric

 

Oh yeah, Roy, the wife is a good cook, too!

 

This is the car you will see on muscle car tradeing cards.It was restored by my friend Paul.Paul p***ed away in 05 of cancer at 51 years.It is now owned by his brother in law Steve.Very nicely done.

 

JunkYardFrog;Tim is fine,the Comet,not so much!! The Comet was street legal for a while,then it got too radical for street use.He originally built the car as a "Pro-Street' cruizer,then got carried away[sounds familiar]!! Tim races at Bakersfield[Famoso] and Sacramento mostly.He e-mailed me and said he is not sure he will be ready for the March Meet but hoping for the ANRA season opener in April at Famoso.There is a video of his crash on this thread,page 50,thread #993. ROY.

 

Eric;I here you on dieing in debt,I told my two sons to not expect much when I kick!!! They are good with that,said to enjoy life!!!!This season was pricey,new trailer,new[to me]truck and an engine rebuild in the Comet plus what I spent on the Comet over last winter,new clutch system,new Jerico and new roll cage!!Do I need to fight the dogs for bed space and dinner?!!! ROY.

 

Pleaseeee Roy, if you share your dinner, they will share there beds. Geez, us Colorado guys have some cl***.....PS, the keg is Coors Light. Seems to be one of Earl Wade's favorite flavors!!

Looking at the list of Comet upgrades, I see a small fortune going out the door.
Do you want to borrow my SOHC, to see if you like it?
Eric

 

All I know is if I keep buying Mercurys I'll be sleeping with the Dogs. Went and looked at another 64 Caliente yesterday. Thankfully it was too far gone or I would've had to hide it at Erics.

 

Roys machine looks good no matter what!

Roy,Is that stock color?

Myron.

 

The owner of the tradeing card Cyclone sent me this.

 

That is fantastic.

 

Looks like the Weiler Comet. Love the Vintage Decals.Really cool with an old track. Just me but between the bridges and the domes falling down up there might be safer racing here. Ha

 

this is nice!!!!

 

Thanks MJ,yep,no Vikings game today.Nice shot of the Weiler Comet.I'm sure Steve would like that pic.Back to snow blow'n.

 

Myron;thanks for the compliments on my Comet.The color is a little more blue than original.The Comet was used as an experiment by a high end paint shop looking to learn how to use Emron paint.It was free and that included some minor body work and a new windshield,hard to p*** up.It was done in 1976 and is showing its age! ROY.

 

Ken;sorry I missed your call,I was at a 90th Birthday party for a good friends Mother.You need another project!!Their are some A/FX pictures on Bang Shift from Mooneyes,a couple of Todd's 65 and Dale's 64. ROY.

 

I was going to do an A/FX style street car with a 65 202 I had.
That trip got interrupted by a 71 Torino GT though. There was one on CL out in central Ne not too long ago I was going to check on - ad deleted before I got to it though.
Perhaps another day.

 

Took me all morning to get this pic. Another pic of the Spencer Motors Comet.This is from Atco 1965. Im thinking at least the third owner at this point.Dont have any pics of Day one racing.Anyway Its an AWESOME pic.

 

Greg D;they are out there,you gotta be carefull though as some guys think they are gold!!I saw a 65 the other day,listed as "minor rust",the back gl*** was about to fall out and the floors weren't even attached to the rockers anymore!!! ROY.
