History 64/65 Comets old drag cars lets see pictures

I like the "Tender Fender".

The car my dad has had fiberglass fenders and the owner painted "Hands Off Cast Iron" in sarcasm.

 

The bow tie emblem is just wrong. I also have to wonder why? Brian

 

Somewhere in this thread, there is an explanation. It had something to do with classification, and cubic inches??? Personally- I think its alright. But then again, I had a target on my back for over a year when I put a Bowtie into a Mopar. I'll have to post up some of the death threats I received someday!!

 

There is a guy on here, screen name Movin/on,

that has a 60 Vette that is FE powered with 3 two barrels and a top loader. I wonder how the Vette guys treat him.

 

Here is a picture of Gate Job with Nicholson's old 65 in the background.

 

These photos are from Drag News 1964 and were originally posted by me over at our Website. Here's the link.....

Cool site. I've been checking it out the past few weeks. I like the pic of the dog sitting in the McCoy Mercury Comet.

 

Great scans, I Just moved them over from Facebook, I'll have to check that thread out.Hope you dont mind me moving them over here. I'ts been a bit since we had some Vintage photos here.

I dont have any of the Drag News, I need to start getting some.

 

Havent seen this one before. I wonder where it fits in with the original 20? Early car

 

Back when the Canary was running real Power.

 

No I don't mind at all.
I just wanted to extend the invitation to everyone here to check us out over at our new site since I know the fellas here would appreciate the /FX thread as well as some of the others we have.

A couple of nice 64s from the East Coast Indoor Car Show in Baltimore MD this weekend. The wagon is a "work in progress" displayed by Piranha Fabrications to showcase their work. The red car has the B/FX 4x2 Weber set up.

 

Oops! OK so the wagon is a 65. It was a big show & my "sometimers" is showing

 

md1320guy:

Did you get any contact info for Piranha Fabrications, it would be kool to talk with them, Love the WAGON!!!!!!

 

That 65 wagon is Meanicing looking. Eddie like Mutley said DO IT !!

 

I really Like that 56 wagon, nice color combo.

64/65 Comet/Falcon wagons are KOOL!!! Eddie and I NEED to get our wagons DONE!!!!!! ROY.

 

Cool ramp truck for sale on E-Bay. Wish it was one of the old Ford Cab over style. looks like a killer deal for a Mopar guy. If I had an Altered Wheelbase Injected Hemi 65 A 990 Id be all over that truck

Did I just say that out loud oops

I think this is the george deleorean Comet running Strickler at the Indy. Not A lot of photos of it.from Colesys thread.





One of my Favorites.

 

I think this is Jake Howards Premier Motors Comet running Ronnie at Indy.

Great shot of the George Weiler Comet taking on the Archway T-Bolt

Piranha Fabrications, Joe Piraino, 717-465-6901. I think he said New Oxford, PA but don't quote me on it.

 

The '64 Comet Cyclones are not hard to like! They were the first year of the Cyclones, they had those little baby fins, and I believe they were the only
Cyclones that had Horizontal headlights. After this the headlights were stacked. These cars looked as if they were hauling even when standing still. I have an album showing my '64 Cyclone, "Cycho", back in the day.

 

I looked at this truck in person about a month ago, thought it would be cool with my 60 Falcon on the back of a 60 Ford cabover, looked better in the pictures type of thing, just a little to much of a project but still cool.

Its a funny thing, haulers! I've dreamed of having a period correct ramp truck or hauler, and hitting the road with it, living out of it. It would certainly have the look and the feel, but would be quite an undertaking, huh? I have an old Chevy flatbed here locally that would make an incredible old hauler for my Comet, its cheap, the price is right, and it'd look retro- bitchin. But reality? Take it on a 500 mile trip, pray no one steals the car off the back, as opposed to the car locked up inside an enclosed trailer? Its a tough call to make. Spend alot of money to make it dirt-dawg dependable.

Dale;is the ROCKET ready for Saturday?Did you jet up the carb to handle the ALKY and NITRO?Not to put any pressure on you but I have BIG money on the ROCKET in the match race with Gary!!!!!! ROY.

 

No need to waist all that money just get a tow bar! LOL.

 

Its ready for the match-up! I'll be the underdog, but at least I'm running era-correct tires!! Gutted the interior (What interior, Dale, you don't even have one!!). You know- I just realized. I'm in contention to win the A/FX series! I've won one event, and I don't think anyone else has won two?? Damn- that would be funny. The slowest car in the pack-----. But, it is a Comet after all, and a Comet is the closet thing in the sky to a shooting star!!!!

Did you get the PM I sent you a couple of weeks back?
