The McCoy 64 A/FX Comet on eBay

Post by Boss/Cyclone »

Saw this listed on eBay. It was auctioned in Kissimmee back in 2017. Wonder if it will sell?

It's been up for sale for a few years for $275K. Price was reduced just a couple months ago.
Skillman also has three other original factory lightweights for sale. A Ford Thunderbolt, Chevy & Dodge.

Wow! That’s an awesome machine. Sadly, probably only good as a museum piece now.

Looks like it's current status, Joe. Would be cool if someone bought it to display @ nostalgia events around the country.

It would be cool if some one ran it a nostalgia events. But that is not likely,

Not likely, why I didn't mention it but you never know! :wink:
Seems there were a rash of these cars still running on the track 15-20 years ago.
If the price is right, someone may step up to the plate and throw a rev limiter on the ignition system.

The Comet was on display at the PRI show in Indianapolis last weekend.
