COMET CENTRAL

Have a line on a 67 comet 289 2dr 3spd on the column,,,motor is out but goes with the car,got to check out floors under carpet,but is straight all good glass but the dr's door glass.....but he sold the hood,how hard will that be to come up with?? thanks POPSCOMET

Pop at one time there was a guy on here that had about 20 hoods for those comets, some were metal ,some fiberglass. I see the fiberglass ones that were like the 65 proto-type scooped hoods every now & then on ebay.

Thanks,,don't if I'll get it nor if I even want it......YET !,,,,,I have my 67ranchero to go and get over at my old shop,but being a member here the comet kinda trips my trigger to a point....but am so far along on the little PU it needs to take front and center also......pop

I have a very nice stock hood off my 67. I came across a fiberglass Cyclne hood I was going to use.

Thanks,don't know if I'll even get it,,,it has sat for yrs with the drivers door glass busted out,so the floors may be in bad shape under the carpet,,,BUT I'll keep you in mind....thanks again...POP

He backed out on selling it......he has 10acrs of old cars and trucks,,,have known this old man since 72,I was his apprentice on the railroad,,a heck of a ford guy and old dirt track racer,,,but he is a hoarder,,he has more stuff then you can shake a stick at,,cars all over the place,,,all makes and models,but he won't sell anything,I was hopeing beings he has known me for so long and after he agreed to let me walk thru his place he might soften up just a tad...but I was wrong !!....he said to me ,ROBERT if I sell it to you then I won't have it anymore,will I ? HIS almost last dirt car was used in the movie either,white lightin..or gator with BERT REYNOLDS,,,it was number 6 64falcon with a 289...he and nascar MARK MARTIN in his early days raced at the same track every sat night. KINDA got windy for just a minute but,,,,the 67 comet is in it's final resting place...but it sure is as straight and dent free as any you'd ever find......thanks B-HIX.....glad to hear from ya !!! POP

I understand and respect their emotional attachment, but it drives me nuts when somone wants to bring a old car back to life and the owner won't budge and instead will let it rot to the ground >.<

Good to 'see you' Pop. I always find the time to read and keep up, just not a lot to post these days

Yea good to hear from you Brad .you should stop in more often!

how's the ole comet doing?

That's the problem...this old guy don't have a emotional bone in his body when it comes to this comet,he bought it from a newbie at the RR with the motor out and laying in the trunk along with the tranny...he has since lost the keys to it and said he has never even looked inside the trunk,,,,,,but you can tell there is some weight under that deck lid,he's had it over 20 plus years,,,,he has more money then he can ever spend,,,has no children,just his long time wife....he lives 15 min's from me and I go over there often just to shoot the wind....he is devout FORD !!!....he won't get rid of nothing,,he's a hoarder !! but his home and yard and their person is spotlessly clean,,,,,,,,,nothing like you see on TV on hoardering,those people are sick,,they need help,they need to lie down on a leather couch for hrs..........the rant is over !! POP

maybe one day you will catch him at the right time. We all know someone that was after a car for years and couldn't get it then some random person shows up one day at the right time and walks away with it >.<

All the best
