65 Cyclone 289 4v 4spd
The only car he ever bought new. Always wanted another after that.
Went all the way to Georgia for it and paid $3500. Its prolly not worth THAT much *money* but its all about how much its worth to *you*, right?
It starts right up, runs good, and moves.
Heres some pics from before he got it up here. Click for full size pic.

Nice. I always liked those. Trouble is finding one :hick:
nice...
I like the fairlane in the background. 64-65?
64 all chopped up, altered wheelbase both front and rear. Never to be finished LOL.
Cool '65. My dad's uncle had a 289 '64 Comet that he bought new. Cool cars indeed.
So, ya have any stock parts from that '64 that you don't need?
I love tha fairlane in the background i always loved the teardrop hood idc what anyone else says thats the coolest hood ever lol. as for the car if i wouldnt known you wanted one of those i would have spoke up theres one sittin about a 1/2 mile from my house with a 289 auto for 1000 and its ina lil better shape lol.
Ah man, that's cool. Imo, the 66-67 Fairlane is one of the shagiest (if not THE shagiest) body styles ever. So of course, a 65 Comet also ranks right up there! Very nice. A few years ago my dad had bought a 66 Comet with a 351C and a top loader 4 speed with a bench seat. It was awesome, and it did run, but the body was too far gone to be worth it. Such a shame, with that engine/tranny combo and the fact it was a bench seat car, that would've been awesome. Be sure to keep us updated as that car progresses.
Nice car, the body is in great shape. I'm sure it needs a floor though.
I would pay that for a car in that shape.
yes, keep us updated on the project.
