History 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures

Getting ready for the Benifit car show for Diane Sox at the end of the month in Buffalo. Just got my remake of the Howards Wheels that Ronnie actually ran on the 64 Comet back from the chrome shop. What do you guys think.

Ken, your car is now rocking with those rims. I'm pretty sure they were tough to find a set or maybe someone makes them still. either way it looks sharp

 

I realize the Howards wheels are way cool...but I personally like the Radirs.

 

"Big Stick" vs. "Fast Eddie" and "The Strip Twister" B/FX Falcon

Thinkin somebody got a Spankin!!!!!

 

choppers;thanks for posting the link and thanks for the kind words!!! I'll need to post an add on to the article when the new combo is ready!! ROY.

 

Fast Eddie;you know you NEED more motor,or fill the Big Blue Bottle then push the button!!!!!! ROY.

 

Oh come on!!! Thats cheating!!!!!!!

Seriously though, motor motor motor!!

 

Roy:

I hear ya!, thinking ole Big Stick gonna get some pay back someday, had a blast! Had to take it out on his Dad in the first round of elimations

 

Ken; Wheels turned out great, nice touch!

 

Thanks Steve. Wish I was out there racing with you guys.

 

Thanks John. I just need to get a Aluminum set made for racing. Actually a fellow Hamber made all the phone calls and leg work done. He had the back set made but then decided to go Magnesium original instead. I bought those and then had the front set made. I'll probably just use them for Sox Car shows and such. The company is Stazworks. I have to say they did a very good job, they are well made.

Heres the link, Mainly a custom 4x4 wheel company but they took on the challange.

Hard runnin' '64 Mercury Comet that went by the name "GOLDEN COMET"! The car was out of Michigan! Pics are circa. October 1969. Do you guys have any info on this one?

 

That is some awesome pics. Never heard of that one. Looks like a real one maybe thats the missing George Delorean Wynns eng. Comet out of MI.

Great pics

 

Here is a picture of my car. My dad and I finished it up this summer. The transmission blew up on the second pass of the maiden voyage.

Dad runs a 63 Biscayne.

 

Nice looking Comet! Sucks about blowing up the transmission

 

Sucks for now but, you and your dad will have this great story to share about your Comet someday. Twisted drive shafts make cool wall hangers! Chevy guys take note.

 

Sharp looking car! How was the first pass?

 

Eddie you need more spray !!!...or bolt a vortech on it..then give it another try,,lol...looks like you two were havin a blast anyway...dave

 

Which gave up first,the stock driveshaft or the trans?It looks like you have a good sized slick on there,need a good shaft to hold up to those tires!! ROY.

 

Hey guys!

My sister ran across another pic of this Comet.... I still haven't had any luck tracking this thing down.

It was named Benny B-Gone at this point, not Ky Kolonel.
