custom Comet on ebay

This is interesting. Might as well have made it into a pickup?

personally i think its too akward looking but whatever.

 

Or a roadster, ala t-bird SR

 

shoulda left it a 4 door.....yech

 

That must be one of the ugliest rooflines I've ever seen

 

Fugly, fugly, fugly!!!!!!

 

Some say ''It can`t be done'' I say '' It shouldn`t be done''

 

T-bird restorers hate those fiberglass replacement hardtops that were made for the 55-57 T-birds, they can be had in great shape for a couple hundred bucks. I'd cut the roof off of this one, leaving the windshield posts in place, and replace it with a removable T-bird style top. The rest of the car is neat looking, but the roofline is really an abortion.

 

Were they trying to make it into a Nash Metropolitan?

Yecch.

 

....ploish chop job.....

 

They have got to be kidding. No wonder they're selling it.
You're right, it could have been a bitchin' Merc version of a Ranchero. I would have dug that. I'm surprised, now that I think of it, I've never seen one before.

 

That's a great idea!

I had a '64-Ford-Falcon-Futura-Hardtop-Hand-Painted-Silver-With-A-Brush that I'd gotten the big idea that it would be killer as a beach ride - you know, cut the top off and drive it. Problem was:

1) I live in Michigan, and;
2) The idea came to me after one too many beers.

I'd somehow convinced myself that I'd be able to cut the top and re-attach it at will...Beer will do that to ya sometimes.

After mentally noting cut lines, I went into the house to retrieve the saw. Thank GOD I passed out before following thru on that cockamamie idea...

Looks like the owner of the comet has a much higher tolerance for alcohol than I did.

 

'70s car, the beginning of the end of hot rodding as we knew it.

I saw a '64 new yorker done that way in about 75 or 6. What a freakin waste.

 

it is crude looking
cheap though
they probably just realized that it is ugly

 

I know where one of those tops is availible for about $200 if you're interested. It's light enough to take off with one person.

 

Hey! lets chop a car...but not the normal way, and lets make it really ugly too...

though i wouldn't mind the Jensen Interceptor mk.3 in the back round!!!

 

Here's basically what I was thinking- Comanchero. Making a car into a pickup doesn't seem to turn out very well, though I do have a Rustchero I could mess with before it goes to the smelter.

Thanks,
Kurt
