$106,995.00!

 

The people trying to sell that for that money are on CRACK!!! JMO,ROY.

 

Hopefully in the next week Rick will have enough time to install decklid, fit hood, and finish fastening down the fenders so it can come home! Its over an hour drive so I need dry weather too! Al

 

There are some incredibly ugly things done to that car that would need to be changed as soon as its bought.

 

Al

The car is looking really good. Wish mine was that far along.....Mike

 

could it be the...nose high stance...or the shotgun scoop...?....

 

About the $106,995.00 Queen on eBay it's not Clone but a Gasser. If you ever built a 65 Comet with a FE 427 SOHC and all the stiff done to it painting and Letteting and had to pay one of those Chassis Shops you would be close to the $100,000.00 amount. Or do the labor yourself for $5.00 per hour it's a lot of work!! I do agree with you guys there is a lot of things on that Comet I would have done different like you guys said. Maybe one of the Bank Robbers on this site might Buy it. Those 64/65 Comets are not Cheep any more. ~~~~~~~~AFX DAVE~~~~~~~~

 

Al;your Comet looks AWESOME,even sitting on the work stand!!!! ROY.

 

If you see it in person it looks alot worse...Someone allowed that pile to be parked with the Thunderbolts and lightweights at the 427 Reunion. It's one of those cars that looks like someone with good intentions started it but someone else with no clue and pile of money finished it learning to weld in the process.

 

Heres something alot cheaper you comet guys should pick up.
Comets being covered in CarCrafts annual "Elapsed Times" did a really nice feature on Scott Dapron who runs the '64 black comet often shown here.He has quite a collection you should check out.I found this at Meijers.

Here it is coming out of the hole...

 

Amazing holeshot!!

Thanks MD and Roy. Finally looking real close to done, I'm happy with my friends work too, looks great in person.

I also agree with AFX Dave on the cost of finding a 64 65 comet thats all there and then the re-doing it,not counting the co$t of a SOHC engine...Al

 

Not a drag car, but one pretty cool 64 none-the-less..

 

Cool!!!

 

Ken,found these in my files...

 

Steve;those are of Ken's first Funny Car purchase!!! You like the way that 'Passing Gas' launches?!!! ROY.

 

Roy

It launches just like yours...wheels in the air...only its his rears up instead of the fronts...LOL.....Mike

 

Looking awesome Al!
Can't wait to see this '64 on the streets of Mi.!

Well said,I am finding out that this is not going to be cheap or easy.But someday I will reproduce this Car.Have contacted Doug and have his blessing!

 

That's what you call "noseing over"...strange launch...I think it passed some gas!

 

I ran across a file I had saved of Jack Chrismans Comet the other day. I'm not sure where it came from, I may have even found it here on the HAMB. Its great but its a video of still pictures so its hard to watch and pick up little details of the car unless you keep pausing it and thats a PITA. I took some screen captures of the video and thought you guys might be interested.
