COMET PERFORMANCE

Love everything about this car and project. 62 and 63 have the best chrome of all the years. You will make all kind of new friends. Not a day goes by I don't get at least one acknowledgement when I drive ours. Had two different people offer to buy it the last time I was in it.

Man, that thing can really smoke the tires... in reverse

Hate is a terrible word but I think it applies to the wheel and tire combo on that car!

Agree. Stock cyclone wheels look much better.

Mike,

Drop down to Sikeston on 55, then over to Paducah, KY and take I-24 into Nashville. On the north side, take Briley parkway (155) around to the NE and get on I-40 on the East side of town. Bada Bing, Bada Boom.

Hope so, Jim. Looks like about the same six-ish hour drive. Will know closer to that date. Not sure about the Comet, but I know the rules. Rule 1, get there. Rule 2 bring a Comet if you can.

Well, new year, new location. Wife and I moved to Indianapolis in 2019 and finally sold our house this Christmas. Meanwhile, Maverick moved West, and the Comet is in storage for a few months. Plan to get it here in Spring or Summer after I put a new top on.

So any Comet owners in the Indy area?

to the carpets, we did the original, cut and sewn, loop, from Dearborn Classics. They were the ACC brand as I recall. We did cut and sewn because we had done some "custom" work on our floor pans (and by custom, I mean they weren't perfectly shaped). I was concerned that molded wouldn't sit flat some...

Love everything about it. Love the sound of that car, the father son aspect and the black and white classic photos. What a moment for you.

I LOVE any post that starts with "sold my mustang to buy a Comet" Welcome aboard.

But if you want to compare... http://waldronexhaust.com/

I ordered my stock 64 exhaust from them and it was a perfect fit. One bracket wasn't right and they made good on it.

Love It! Welcome aboard.

Speaking as the driver of a 260, it's the BEST engine Ford ever made! Ok, but seriously, is the 260 all original or modified? Does it have a 2 bbl or 4 bbl? is there anything wrong with it? Why do you want to swap to the 302? Sure the 302 is going to make more hp and torque, but it all depends on wh...

Believe mine is called a needle nose pliers.. least that’s what I used on the fender splash guards

yes, we have always used Type F-ATF good for your PS, and good for your AT.

Kind of like Robitussin
