Cool Cars For Sale

Post by Joe Travers »

Very nice '64 Caliente on BAT- https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1964- ... -comet-24/
Looks like once a month again this year. Last month, 1st gen. 4-door sold.

For the faint of heart, '65 Cammer Cyclone private seller @ $44,400- https://cars.trovit.com/listing/c6-powe ... 1y1sK1I1QA
May be sold by now, depending on engine condition. Not cheap to maintain, by any means.

I remember the 65, it has changed hands a few times in the last 6 or 7 years. It has a Caliente vin number with all the Cyclone badging if that is important to anyone.

Yeah, thought I remembered seeing it for sale last year in the Carolinas (?) Don't know what happened with the price posting.
$125K today. Must have been dreaming.

The ‘65 is over the top. Cammer’s are impressive but 125k is a stretch.
The ‘64 is really nice, low miles, nice colors, almost perfect body with never any rust.
The radio delete is strange, but cool. This would make a great everyday driver for someone who lives in a no winter climate.

The initial price posted for the Cammer was a steal. Don't know what happened there. :?
It doesn't get much better than the '64 for originality and condition.

I tried to pull the radio delete plate out of my buddy's '65 but I couldn't get enough junk out of it to get into the floor to reach the left side. His Pop ordered it new w/o radio, never listened to it.

the white 64 is a very nice specimen... and those features! "Quad headlights" that sounds very impressive.
