And you don’t see them very often so when you do,it’s......WOW,a comet!!

 

It seems like it has been that way for quite a few years. Mine will be back on the road next year after a 40 year absence, new and improved in many ways. Stay tuned......

Just got this one a couple days ago- and have most of the parts already

 

In case anyone is interested, I just posted my 64 Comet in the HAMB classified. Deciding to sell due to my son's passing several months ago. Have just lost interest in cars in general. I have his 63 Galaxie with a built FE from 422 motorsports that I may be listing soon. 573-201-1086 Bob

 

Dam, sorry for your loss.

 

Thank you Loudbang. Appreciate your reply.

 

Sorry for your loss...wish I had the $$$

If I could afford it,I’d have a 65 too,nice

 

Sorry for your loss. I can't even imagine.

 

The front suspension is stock with 90/10 shocks,rear is ladder bar coil over set up,stock width.Motor is 363 stroker,c4 manual valve body

 

Sorry for your loss, was the 63 at the HAMB drags last year?

 

Santa Rosa

 

Yes, my son Randy had it at last year's HAMB. I believe he ran the 62 Impala "Salt Shaker" in his class final.

 

That is me that Randy was racing.
Randy was full of life that day and a pillar of a man, a memory that will never leave my me.
