I'm sure some of you remember Roy speaking of his wagon that he was building. I remember him grumbling about it being stuck in paint jail. His son Doug put it in a different shop & got it painted & is doing the delicate assembly.
I just love the color & seat colors!
Roy called it one of none. because comet didnt make a 2dr comet in 65.so he used a 2dr falcon wagon & cometized it so it is half ford & half mercury & a little pun on it being a forgery.

Very Cool!
I seen the car in his garage on one of my visits to his place in Camarillo.
He was still wondering what to do about the body work, interior was empty, a long way from where it is now!

Thanks for posting Johnnie!
I too remember seeing the wagon in Roy’s garage for years in pieces. He’d always complain about what the body shop had done to it. But he’d always be doing something small to it to keep the project going.
Ton of respect for his boys keeping his cars and his memory alive and well.
The wagon looks great!!

There's nothing like the sound of a pushrod V8 singing at the top of her lung's.
Interier is just right for the paint,,,works perfect with one another....don't know who came up with that choice but that nail was hit square on the head.....those 2 comets belong in a glass house ,,,pop
Thanks for the updates Johno, Doug is really stepping up to the plate! Beautiful color combo, the whole car is certainly going to be eye candy! I had talked to Roy about the car several times, even picked up some extra pieces from him, as I also have a falcon 2dr wagon that I hope to Cometize someday. Doug's efforts certainly set the bar high!
Take care, Cary

The color combo is off the charts. And we all should consider; these half breed Merc's don't get all the money they should anyway so why not make the colors kick?
I'm lovin the Rootbeer Float as I'm going to call this car.

I'm sure Roy's smiling down on his son for keeping the project alive.
