What is this? Halfbreed?

Post by tinnocker »

http://los_lunas-nm.geebo.com/vehicles/view/id/24943576-1964_comet_2dr_8cyl/ I hope this link comes up. There are 3 pics. It is listed as a 64' but the pics of the front end has the headlights over each other, looks to be a 65'. I thought the listing was wrong but when you see the rear it is for sure a 64'. I believe someone mated a 65' front sheetmetal to a 64'. The ad says it is a divorce sale. What ever it is I don't like the mix.

It is a 64 with a 65 front clip,I have heard of this swap,first one I have seen though.I was asked about a lead on a 64 front clip so the guy could do just the opposite!!! ROY.

Cool, I guess my final post in that other thread is correct. I have to celebrate the occasional right guess. :lol:
