I recently purchased a 1965 Comet 202 with 29k original miles.
It was kept in a heated Quonset since the early eighties, so it's in exceptional condition.
I'm not one to leave things alone, so I'm turning it into a drag & drive car.
I'll be swapping the entire drivetrain, so I will probably try to sell the stock drive train. The engine runs perfectly!!
I've collected all of the parts for the power train upgrade, so I'll post pics as I progress.
Cheers!

Re: Hello.
Welcome to Comet Central. Sounds like a project. I have enough fun and work just keeping things near stock. Looking forward to seeing your pictures.

Took it for a drive to the scales to see what it weighs. I was pleasantly surprised. 2728lbs

Re: Hello.
Howdy Doody!
I bought a one owner 202 like yours' 30 years ago. Memory fails me a bit but the mileage was around 70-80K.
It was classic white w/ red interior. Interior was a time capsule. Long story short, sold it to a friend that now owns two others like it.
