COMET CENTRAL

https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0119-35535 ... t-cyclone/

Sharp car.

sharp car ,,I noticed on the gen it had a single belt,at least it looked like to me, my comet came with a double belt set up,,pop

Not a factory Hi-Po car don't be fooled.

Typical Mecum car, too shiney in the wrong places, missing important parts. The interior looks ragged, the wheels and lack of stance are a turn off.
Someone will no doubt raise their hand for a ridiculous price.
Just my opinion.

what is special about the headliner ? ..pop

Reminds me of a song "She aint pretty, She just looks that way. the side profile looks very nice and I like the stance .The rest not as much,I would still like to have it.To sit beside my 65 as a his and hers set.

Don't know, you would think if it was something special they would have a picture In the one picture it looks like the headliner is coming loose on the drivers side sail panel.

I do like the car. Body figment/gaps, paint looks great. Like the stance and overall appearance. Not a fan of the big wheels with low profile tires but that is a personal opinion. Interior could have been detailed better.

Just a guess but thinking somewhere in the 35-40K range? Last year they had a black 65 that brought over 50.

Looks like typical low rate ACC carpet, poor fit and fading already. And those weren't hipo if memory serves me.

I totally understand the value of the 64 Cyclone but to me without the side trim of the Caliente these cars don't do it for me.
I dislike the stance and wheels too but ya paint and gaps, someone spent good money there.

dont forget the puny tires Fred! I think if it had some bigger sidewalled tires ,& wider in the rear would look so much better. Even with those tall wheels if it had more rear tire , would make this car sit better. & easy enough to change.The real turn off for me is the owner bragging K code. he is either a dummy or hoping to trick a dummy. makes me think, what else is he trying to build up or misrepresent?

still good to see some of our cars getting recognition. a few short years ago this car would struggle to bring 10-12gs.
but even with it's faults I think it will bring 17-25 gs.

the way I read it ….it's a K code 289 built to 289/271 spec's,,

You're right Pop, I overlooked that.

And I bought low profile wide tires for the back of my Falcon in order to achieve the ride height I wanted, sux.

that K code in a comet sure mis-leads people...I thought the same thing many yrs ago when I 1st read it on mine..then I looked at the engine and took notice,,I had messed with so many mustangs,I knew the diff....then I kept on reading more info on the comet,,,then I knew 'zactly what I had...lack of correct info brings that old saying--open mouth insert foot to the fore front pop

$40,700.00 OMG !
