The Russians were not able to duplicate Ametican cars. Lacked the technology at their factories. The Cyclone was good.

Interesting that Mercury also had the Meteor, which is about the same size. My Dad had one and I loved it (esp the tail lights) but you don’t see much of them. Sad

For some reason I feel like I remember reading 8 or 9, most “performance” ones sold to the public were K-code with I believe a slightly higher powered (not HiPo) 289 with a 4 barrel from the mustang.

@@tomp1612 if it ever arrives, I bought one of those K-code calientes (taking months to ship it here). Do you have any other info on the HiPo’s? I’ve heard none were ever built, and there’s a McCoy Mercury A/FX for sale saying it’s one of 22 Ford built for the circuit that year, but I believe those were 427 cars.

@@zchris87v80 I'm hardly the expert but i'd guess the 427 AFX Comets started as HiPo ones to get the 9" rear ends, as did Thuinderbolts. Sure not much info on the HiPo Comets, I'd guess most of it died along with Bill Stroppe and Fran Hernandez.

You have to love the music they put in this video. Up beat and selling cars. What a time. My first car in 1974 was 1964 comet Caliente. Bought it from a family friend who was a body man and worked on car frames. This he bought new and in 1970 rebuilt and modified the 289 in it. It was a fun car to drive even with bias tires. This car with it 3 bedroom apartment trunk took me and friend on many hacking and sling trips.
