My baby

Post by cyclone65 »

Here are a few pictures of my baby plus some other Comets at the Nostalgia Super Stock Nationals. Plus my buddy's General Lee. It's pretty cool even though it's a Dodge.

I agree, your car is stunning. What size tires and wheels are you using?

Here are some interior shots. I didn't have time to vacuum & clean it out.

Thanks for the compliments! The weird red glow was my camera..I don't think I let it adjust to the bright white background long enough. Tire and wheel size are: P235 60 14. I think wheels are 14X6 with a 3.5" backspacing (center or rim is towards the outside of car). They don't rub at all. I think I probably would've been able to fit 15" on there but wasn't sure of the width or backspacing and all that nonsense. I knew this worked because I got the measurements off a wheel from my brother's 65 Cvclone. At one time were were a 2 65Cyclone family!! We sold that car and never saw or heard of it again.
