History 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures

Eric:

Atleast all my small blocks and one big block run, maybe I should come up for Thanksgiving and take you for a ride in my Cyclone with CRAGARS! you always liked that car!!!!

Love ya Man!!!!

FAST EDDIE

Oh look Eric, CRAGARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yes, Eddie, I love that Cyclone, as long as I don't fall through those floor pans! haha
Sell those Cragars, and buy some pans, for the Cyclone. Sell the Cragars on your Galaxie, and spend the money on a 427, for that car.. And use that Cragar banner in your shop, to line the bottom of a cat box!

My 3 small blocks, (Tiny Engines) all run too, but the are just so small! Even that 4 banger in my T runs. 20 HP on that beast, now go back to your moon shine!!!
Haha, Eric

 

Damn, I didn't even see a car in that picture!!

 

Hey guys I'm looking for a piece of 202. Just the frt piece for one side...I have the rest. I want the trim on my car to be like my dad used on his Cyclone. Mine had Caliente trim added but I am going to fill the holes and just use 202 trim like dads. See the pic below. Thanks

 

I didn't know Cragar made shoes like that! Nice!

 

Where is the love

Cragar Haters and Springsteen sympathizers Need to stay focused and finish some ten year projects.You guys cant be Tire Wipers forever! HaHa















Besides everybody knows that Radirs with the Pie Crust slicks are the Bomb.



Howards are cool



One of these days my Marauder will run a set of these.





I do have a soft spot for a Steely with a Dog dish.




Dont worry Eddie I'll take that Cragar Banner and move it over to my shop before Eric makes you use it in the litter box. HaHA

 

Is it Spring yet? I'm getting restless, ready to cruise.

 

Look away Eric way too many Cragars.

 

Interesting, that your "trick out here in Southern California" is done in Arizona. Just kidding, looks cool, how do they attach to the rims?

 

Larry/Roy,that was either called AztecGold or Palomino according to the '64 merc colors.. They changed the name to PecanFrost in '65...Myron_

 

The old torque thrust looks hot on this beast!

 

Thanks Clearspot, I couldn't agree more!
Eric

 

Ken, it good to see your diplamatic side kicking in, but the Springsteen sympathisers Cammer in his daughters stroller, is some of Fast Eddies finest work,
Also, if mine was only a 10 year project, I'd be pretty happy.
No Cragar banners in my shop, but there is a Keg full of cold beer...... Maybe that's why the cars not done??
AMERICAN RACING WHEELS FOREVER!!!
Eric

 

So that is what my 64 should look like except mine has white interior and the stainless steel simulated chrome rim hubcaps. Thanks for the pictures.

 

Post some pictures of the car no matter what condition it is in.Maybe someone will recognize it.Got some pretty knowledgeable people on here that know alot of history about Comets.

 

Ken, did you see the picture a guy just posted in the Photos from Pomona '64-'65 thread? You can see the back corner of the Colony Park Sach's is using to drag in their 64.

ditto on the dog dish kinda the sleeper look, course the rump rump of the 427 fe kinda gives it away

 

Alan, other than the hood your car looks pretty stock and the dog dish fits the style of your car perfectly. Plain and simple body in white with brute power under the hood.

 

Looking good Alan, Hows it Running. One of these days we will have to catch up at a show or something. Eddie and I are skipping this years Indoor Thanksgiving show but plan on next year with another Multi car Race section.

 

I think Jack was the only one that got the Colony Park. Even up to 67, he got the Colony Parks. Way Cool. Cant wait to travel with mine for fun.

Jack's 64 is so Bad, Wonder why no one has redone it, Got to talk to the Chrisman Family at Chhr, Amazing History.

 

That is my favorite comet but I have a 65 ……. It will have that exact stance - wheel - tire size - stroker small block - cross ram - mag - willys axle - top loader

 

trying to sort some bugs out with the cooling system. keeps trying to run hot. got some good ideas from the guys over on the fe forum. will try some of those and see what happens. also trying to finish up the air box and hoses.

did make it to goodguys colorado, had some ignition problems, roasted the electronic dizzy. only had the car at the show on saturday. other than that just a couple of local shows and cruises.

got to paint the old motorhome we bought and refurbished this winter. I know that will be exciting and fun. of course as cheap is paint is this day in time might slow down some other projects.

alan

hopefully more next year.

 

Hell- Its going to be 80 degreees here in Socal this weekend. Sorry to my fellow Cometeers around the country battlin the cold.

I finally have all my parts together for my swap, but it'll wait 'till after the holiday Christmas race with Mooneyes. I've been called out to match-race a B/FX style Mustang, raced in the early seventies, and still owned by the original family. They are hyping it up , and I think it'll be a good match-up

 

Nice pic of Mercury Junkie in National Dragster

Heads up on a '64 here in CA with 85,489 miles. Gold with white interior. I want to bid on it personally but, unfortunately, one of our daily drivers just died so we've been shopping for a new car replacement.

P.S. I've never seen a Comet with a roll back rag top. Seller says it was a dealer option. Could be a very cool car. Wish it was better timing for my budget.

 

Great shot!

 

That's awesome. What are your plans? Will you be racing this car in the future? Or does it go into a museum?
