Trying to upload pictures!! Selling my 1964 Mercury Comet Cyclone project I bought as a running, driving, stock car in 1993. It was a factory red, 289 4V (K-code-210hp), 4-speed when purchased. Driven til 1997, then drive train pulled to put in brother's Caliente. Car has been in 4 body shops, and only the last fabricator, Thunderbolts in Callahan, performed great work. I am 71, lots of maladies & without the physical ability to finish. Was building this car to resemble the famed SOX & MARTIN A/FX Comet run during '64.
