    This little Merc is killer,.... My buddy built it, The owner lives an hour east of me and my pal Garry is a talented wizard.The car has since sold and I believe resides now in Georgia.

    Factory Racer,...Yea.I know it's probably been seen many times... but its Rad.

    seems like more of a vintage drag car than a street machine to me. I undeleted it

    That's definitely an awesome vintage drag car ala Sox & Martin and Dyno Don to name a few

    Obviously I like it! (See my avatar) ‘64 Comets are at the top of my list, mine has been with me since 1968.

    Well... I deleted it at first, then looking at the vid, from a muscle car aspect.... I decided to lock it up,. being a mod..I thought it was best to have @Moriarity have a look.
    I love factory early race car development....
    Thanks guys

    I must of missed the memo on this .. since when are 64-65 Comets frowned upon on this board ?

    Glad this post was left up. Enjoyed the video, it.s an amazing car, nicely restored. I enjoyed the S/S, A/FX, cars growing up, reading about them in the many magazines of the time and watching them at the drags. It was a fun time.
