COMET CENTRAL

My 65 Caliente 289 4 speed. Just ordered a front disc brake conversion kit for it.

Clean ride, Chief!

Always looking for red Comets!

Very nice car! Love the color... I'm also doing a brake upgrade (front disc, power booster, dual reservoir) after the holidays.

It's a comet, I'm use to standing out in a crowd Fred !

my biggest problem standing out in a crowd is,every time i get my comet out there is always somebody trying to talk me into doing a burnout,at the grocery store,town,or where ever i go.dont get me wrong,i love getting on it,but i cant just do a big burnout every time someone asks.i have a grand in my flywheel and clutch,and another 500 in street slicks. not everyone knows you dont do dry burnouts with slicks,unless you want to leave your tires in a pile of rubber crumbs.one or two of those dry burnouts and a set of slicks is ruined. i had an extra set of rims with stock sized tires on them that i would put on every now and then just for doing burnouts,but some sticky fingers must have got them out of my garage.i thought about putting them on for the winter,went out to my garage and could not find them,gone! you can take something that runs pretty good,take those big N50s off and put on some 215s.talking about big burnouts,that works.i was going to try for an all 4 gears burnout with those skinny tires but i guess i will have to buy some more tires and rims.

I understand what your saying and to some degree have experienced it too.
Ive gotten into the habit of saying Sassy is a "poser", looks fast. Which I spose it is.
Its not your job to make them happy, or is it?

' spent a lot of effort to make my Comet Hook UP and launch with minimal spin. Burnouts (Candy Canes? )are for dads' borrowed family car with foot brake and accelerator pushed to floor and then slamming into to 'D' ....

Mr Power Band,i like your set up,i wish i had that stuff on mine,
