60-62 Falcon front clip on Comet

Anyone ever seen it done? Is is a bolt up? I think the front end on the early Comets is clunky. A 62 Comet with a Falcon front clip would make a killer custom.

 

I have a 63 comet door on my 63 falcon. should work.

 

It would end up being a Falcon with Comet 1/4's . Which are cooler looking than the Falcon. Its definitely do-able. The doors for comet and falcon are the same in 62, the Comet doors just have that little potmetal trim on them.

 

The radiator core support has to be swapped, which is the only welding involved. The side aprons are the same, so the fenders will bolt on as soon as the core support is in place. Be sure to get the core support for the Falcon front clip you use - '60-'61 is one style, and '62-'63 is the other.

Cool! A finned Falcon!

 

here is a few swap pics I have, both ways.

 

Not the whole clip, but I'm currently running a Comet bumper on my Falcon. Not a bolt-on like I thought.

 

I love that Comet/Ranchero!!!

 

That's the second Ranchero I've seen with the Comet front end. Cool.

 

This ones a '65 but just as cool, I found it on Craigslist.

 

Now that is sweet!

crap, now I need to find a comet front end!

 

Here are a couple pic's of one I owned briefly. Not enough TLC (Time, Labor Cash) for me to do anything with it so it's with a new owner.

It was known as the Falcomet or the Common.

 

Nice

 

Muttley- do you know how that one was done, and are you thinking of buying it?

 

it appears to have comet station wagon taillights

 

wow, I like both comet to falcon front swaps...and I have both a 62 & 64 hmmm

 

I have no idea, but it's probably just a bolt on. I'm not interested in buying it, not really a big fan of Rancheros. I tried to find the link to the ad for you but I cant locate it. If I come across it I'll PM you.
