COMET CENTRAL

Can’t believe I didn’t get pics of a couple of the Cougars...anywho, some NICE Fooooords!! See if you can pick out the sunburned knucklehead who somehow scored a Top 25 award!

Congrats ! thanks for the pics!

Congrats on the win!!
Some damn nice machinery at that show!

high 5's on the award !! good looking FORDS......POP

Thanks!! Still can’t believe the 25-footer heap o’ mine won something... I should’ve gotten a few more pics but forgetting sunscreen I was already toast (literally)! I just realized I had more motor than car pics... My first love probably but I’ll do better! I can’t believe I missed the Cougars & this one Falcon 2-dr wagon (awesome).

Interesting too - a LOT of MII front ends...even the wagon that had a pretty stock looking SBF. I get it through...way more space w/o the towers.

Sometimes different is a good thing

Good to see several I6 cars, at least I am not the only crazy person around these parts

See Ya,
Mike

Well............

nice pics!
any info on the white 63 Falcon, ie, pressure? 1/4 mile numbers?
did any of the pipes go through the trunk?

Sorry Fred, nope...I think he came up & hung out for awhile but didn’t register. I stopped by but he was chatting with some other folks. Really impressive ride. Ton of work nicely done. The turbo setup looked so at home it was like a late model factory Ford deal!

Nice pics...thanks! Really like the Bronco. Between projects at the moment and kinda looking for one but about all you get for 10 g's these days is a bunch of rust and a title. Actually one of the few vehicles you can break even or make some money on if done right and you do all your own work.

those early broncos can fetch a pretty chunk of change,,,I bought a 1977 full cab in 1978 with 5,ooo mi for 5450.00,,drove it thru the better part of the 80's,,a man counted out 5300 dollars on the hood,,I let him take it home..it had 43,000 mi on it ,but I had taken very good care of it....then shortly afterwards,I bought a 1971 half cab,,I still have it ,,then I came across a 1974 half cab with a 200 6cyl ,gave it to my son,as well I gave the 71 to my grd son....then I came across another 77 with a half cab,302 AT pwr steering with frt disc brks,,I still have it,I took the buckets seats from the 77 and put them in the 71 and the bench seat out of it into my 77....all 3 of them are parked here at my shop....the boys leave thiers here..have gave thought about selling my 77 half cab.BUT I;ve had it so many yrs..I would hate to see it gone....on the 71,I had a power take off winch,I took it off when I gave it to my grd son,,it will go on my 77 in place of the warn 8,000 lb lectric winch that was on it when I bought it,,my grd son will put the lectric on his 71,,I even have the factory frt winch bumper for the PTO winch.... OL POP has been at one time BRONCO POOR …….POP

I love the early Bronco’s too. Was —><— this close to buying one about 15-years ago. NOW the same truck is 5x the price!!

Also, V8 Bronco’s had one of the best looking air cleaners ever!!
