Re: Carlisle Ford Showw???

Re: what did you do to your comet today?
Nothing to it but spent day walking thru an all ford swap meet looking for parts to convert it from an automatic to a 5 speed. No luck though on the parts.

Larry and Dave you are more than welcome to come down this way and check things out. I will definitely post updates as time goes. A mini Comet meet sounds like a good idea

Want to put a TKO 600 in my '65 Comet?
Well life's been a little crazy this last year and half, divorce and few other life challenges but I am starting to see some light at the end of this preverbal tunnel.

Re: Arrival of 64 comet
Looks nice, never thought of it, but there isnt alot of black Comets. Use to seeing so many red or white ones, but black looks good too.
