TOO FUNNY!!! I was hoping Mike would bring that gettup when he was at CHRR a couple years ago!!! ROY.

 

Comets out on Woodward.

 

Try again...

 

Interesting!!!I like the name,"TUFF TIMES Racing",too kool!!! ROY.

 

Saw this yesterday at the drag strip. It's a iron head 289 for stock eliminator. It ran 11.80s. Can't figure out how to load the video.

There is one out here in Commiefornia,been around forever!!With the big slicks I would say Super Stock as Stock is only allowed a 9" slick!! Nice looking 64,love it with no billboards or stickers!!! ROY.

The airline wouldn't let me bring the walker as "cary-on". LOL.....Mike

 

OK Mike,now I understand!!! ROY.

 

Yes it looks pretty cool sitting there all clean. Like the color too!.............Al

 

Found this one in this thread;
http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/...ankenmuth-auto-fest-in-frankenmuth-mi.941947/

Sorry don't know anything about it but thought it was cool.

 

I got to see that car too! Sounds real good, his sign on window said 289 cubic inch. Appeared to be very nice but was unable to find it on Saturday to look over when not drinking.......Al
Sign said from Wisconsin

 

That car is awesome in so many ways. It is also a factory 271 hp car. 6 figure DSO and paperwork to prove. This is a real deal factory 271hp 1964 Comet with factory 3.89 gears.....

 

It is a real 271hp car. the engine code does not matter in '64. this car has the 6 figure DSO and factory 3.89 gears.... Yes it is real......

 

I do not know what happened to this site, but it has changed. have not been on here for quite some time. I commented on the blue '64 Cyclone, not the red one. (being a factory 271hp car)

 

Dan;I'm confused,which Comet [post #?] are you talking about? I'm not having any issues with the site,I did like the old format better but this one works for me! ROY.

 

Roy he is talking about the one in post 7871 the 64 trailer queen, I believe.

 

Yes,this one Roy.

 

Guys;Thank You for clearing that up!! It looks legit! Alternator on a 64? ROY.

 

Hey Ken did you loose your computer? You must be really busy!.......Al

 

Al;I think Ken just got home from PA. late last week.Plus I think he hung around too many racers with slush boxes,he is leaning towards sissy transmissions!!! ROY.

 

Roy, Thats funny even though I will be using one of them myself. Maybe his new engine builder is encouraging him, as you know from experience running a stick with any kind of good power takes huge effort on a continuous basis. A race automatic and converter, needs fluid changed often and top of line shifter so gears engage proper. Are they cheaper? Not really! Ask me I know...........Al

 

Al;Ken has the same engine builder [for now] ,I think he is tired of his clutch issues!!!! ROY.

 

That's gonna be awkward if Ken goes to an automatic....

.....He'll have to letter that Sox n Martin car up to say "Mr 3 speed"!

Al and Scott;Ken may be building a 'NEW' 64 Comet or possibly re-painting the current Comet!! ROY.

 

Yes, I remember he mentioned a year ago about painting to match Jardine car. At T-Bolt reunion he also talked on a new car, a more race version but was torn between doing another 64 or 65 model. It will be done right whatever it ends up being and finished much quicker than mine, I'm approaching 7 and half years. Hell I'm getting old...LOL.......Al

 

Maybe not, a guy named Blair Patrick in TN is known for some killer HP with FEs???? Great guy was a sponsor at the FE Reunion...........Al
