Dang Duff,where have you been hiding that pretty caliente? it looks fabulous!!! sorry for being nosy ,but I clicked on your sig pic & looked at all of your pics & WOW ! 3 deuces,TTD's, really nice e bay, the whole car looks great! do you still have the red 64 in the pics? I think that is the first nice black 65 that I've seen with TTD's. most ppl want shiny wheels on a black car but yours looks badass!!! you should post up some pics of it!!!
Thanks Johno. I need to get some better pic's then I'll put some more up. The car is awesome. The acceleration when all 3 carbs kick in is all I can handle on the street, but if you want to just cruise around it does that great too - Just running on the center carb around town and then shift into 5th on the highway and be completely comfortable at 80 mph. I love it! and of course nothing looks like a '65 Comet !
Unfortuately, I couldn't keep both so I sold the red '64. I really wanted a manual shift Comet. It sold quick and I got what I asked for it. The consignment dealer I dealt with said 64-65 Comets are hot - he actually bought the car from me.
Our cars are worth more than you think. At least $20k for a nice, rust free V8.
1965 MERCURY COMET CALIENTE - Ford Racing BOSS 302 - Tremec 5-speed
that is nice for sure,those are the whls for sure,on any color........don't blame ya for wanting a stick,,the 1st time I redone mine I left the AT in it,,hated it,,just stopped driving it almost entirely,even threaten to give it to my GRD PARENTS to drive to church on Sunday's,but then I put the 4spd in it and never looked back since...again yours is a looker for real...POP
So I am almost a week late on ordering the plates but will do so this weekend so this will be your last chance to order for a while, just let me know soon.
After the plates come in I will look and see who wants plates only and will get a price shipped for you and get them out, if anyone who wants those before the calendar gets in let me know and I will ship separate, they will just cost a bit more than putting them together and combining the shipping.
I still am looking for input/help on the two extra pages of the calendar since I haven't got them done yet, I want to wrap the calendar by October 1st and get it ordered.
How about a little write up about the woman who made headlines with her 64 comet she bought new & drove it for over half a million miles. was on tv on multiple talk shows, knew every part she ever put on it including how many sets of tires,batteries,mufflers & even argued with young whipper snapper mechanics (because she was right) about her ac being factory installed. she knew her comet!!
I think a page dedicated to all the racers on here would be cool, a collage of all of them .there are so some cool cars on here- Roy,Aussie John, Loman, tweaked,383 merc,judd, to name a few of the regulars. & some cool pics on here somewhere of all of them.
License Plates are ordered, they will be $12.50 each plus shipping, I think I have everyone on the list but I do have a few extras on order in case someone missed them (maybe 10 or so). I will probably build in a little bit extra for a shipping envelope if I need too depending how they are going out. If you have a calendar(s) coming I can ship them together so it will make everything cheaper, otherwise I will ship them as soon as I get them, which I am not sure if that will be this week or next.
I will concentrate on the Calendars next and hope to have them wrapped up by next week and will do one last head count on them before the order because I will not be ordering any extra on them most likely.
Thanks for all the suggestions on the extra pages and I will see what I can put together but time is running short to get this wrapped up (I am not blaming anyone for that but myself) so it might end up pretty simple.
