I picked the Hardtop up about 2 weeks ago in Salem, Oregon. This car is a factory 289 4-barrel with a 4-speed. This car was restored about 10 years ago, it has about 11k miles on everything you see here. The engine block # is C5AE 6015E and the date code is either 5D4 or 5B4. The Vin # 63DC5806C52A5.

Very nice looking pair of Comets. I like them both. I really like the choice of wheels on the red car. Brian

Wow that Blue is incredible. What is it? Looks great with the Cragar's too! The red one is sweet as well..I like that you removed almost of the trim..give's it a cleaner look. Very Nice cars!!
