[@jeffhensley907]

Proud of my Uncle's car. Masterpiece

[@musclecarcampy9922]

[@Brianscoronet]

Beautiful Cyclone, love the color

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Thanks for watching.

[@edduda1535]

Boy sweet ,I would love to have that comet in my garage with my other toys .awesome car good job .

[@toddbonin6926]

My favorite aunt had a 65 Comet Caliente, white with a red interior. Oh how I loved that car. Always been a Comet fan … and I completely agree with you on stacked headlights. Just love em!

[@jonnalangmeier6965]

I remember seeing this car at the Indiana Shelby Spring Fling a few times back in the day. Now I know why I don't see it anymore.

[@caribman10]

Very few performance cars sold which so obviously encouraged their drivers to put them to the test, which is why it's so hard to find a nice one today. They're all beat, which is a tribute to the car.

[@GTP427cobra]

A beautiful car

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Thx.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Great looking Comet!!!

[@becky5987]

Thanks for featuring my uncle's car. It's a beautiful car. Proud of him.

[@AllCountiesNY]

As always very cool.

[@andrewtikhonov6635]

I love this car I hope I restore faster my 4 door comet

[@gregkistner1955]

I almost bought a 66 comet cyclone a few years ago but I wasn't fast enough getting back to the seller! Looked to be in excellent shape. You snooze you lose!

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Ouch.

[@GeorgeKarpenko-em4my]

Had a 65 comet 6 as a kid loved it Would have love a cyclone more

[@stanlee399]

Way too cool Mercury 😎

[@dalegoldberg2761]

I had a 1967 or maybe it was a 66 market cyclone GT. It also had the 4 27 4 speed in it. One of the rare models that came out that year sold it never wished I had sold it.We'd love to get that car back.I would today still buy that cyclone back

[@josephtravers777]

Clicked when I saw the thumbnail. Had a Dark Ocean Turquoise '65 Cyclone from '87- '97. A code, three on the column shift.

[@harleybigdadbiker9503]

Had a red 65 Cyclone in 78,my first car.bought it for $100.wish I woulda kept it.

[@kimmorrison9169]

I always thought the hi po 271 horse 289 was an option on this Cyclone. Reverbs are great. Always loved that echo sound.

[@musclecarcampy9922]

So did I.

[@protourfox]

great video Campi! I dig the stacked headlight cars as well!

[@musclecarcampy9922]

You are a man of impeccable taste!

[@crebbsjd]

Cool car, would be cool to build one full out with all chassis, suspension, and a big block. 🇺🇸🔥

[@frankw7266]

One important safety upgrade that should be done if it's going to be a driver is to replace that single-cup master cylinder. With only a single cup for all 4 wheels, if you lose one corner, they're all gone. Ask me how I know... it's the reason I no longer have mine.

[@musclecarcampy9922]

We agree, but if originality matters it is tough to swap out.

[@josephstewart7351]

Happened to me in my 4 dr 65 202

[@loveisall5520]

It’s so funny how Ford, just like with the big cars, stretched the falcon ahead of the trunk to accommodate the longer wheelbase of the comet. This is a handsome car, regardless.

[@DanEBoyd]

That's funny: That car used to be local to me, but I don't remember doing the brake lines on it... Got one or two just like those on my Dentside F150. Now that I have a flare kit, I should cut to length and reflare... I love those chrome reverse wheel-looking wheel covers!! No HiPo is odd - I'm pretty sure you could get it in the Fairlane that year! Is that a Mustang GT gauge cluster on there?

[@musclecarcampy9922]

I believe the gauge pod is Cyclone-specific. The Fairlane got it, but was a midsize. Cyclone was “senior compact” based on the Falcon.

[@alanedwards5382]

Very nicely detailed correct restoration. I took 3years restoration on mine.i know what's correct on these cars Awesome

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Thanks so much.

[@SimirJohnson]

Had a ‘67 in the same color. Body full of rust but the paint always looked good!

[@bruceh92]

New sub. Awesome car, nice video !

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Thank you.

[@joeblow1942]

My big brother tried to buy a new 65 Mustang but the waiting list was too long so he bought a new 65 red on red Cyclone with the 289 and 4 speed manual. I was a little kid then but I’ll never forget what a gorgeous car it was! I never knew those wheels were stainless steel.

[@Racoldgin]

Your brother made a good choice. I have a 65 Caliente hardtop. I never knew about the hubcaps either. I just assumed they were chrome plated plastic like most other hubcaps. Now I want to go find a set.

[@joeblow1942]

@@Racoldgin Yeah, my idiot brother wrecked his Comet in the first year he bought it! I can see why one might assume that today, but I don’t think anyone made plastic wheel covers back then, did they?

[@twagn]

I'm a stacked headlight fan as well..65 GTO

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Odd the GTO and Cyclone got stacked headlights and hidden taillights in the same year.

[@leoneaster]

I always thought the 1965 Merc Cyclone was a take-off of the 1965 Pontiac Tempest/GTO... stacked headlights, and rear-end taillight treatment!

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Well, they came out at the same time, so who copied whom?

[@charleshendrix232]

I want it!!

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Me too.

[@scottkraniak4941]

I have same year in black.

[@musclecarcampy9922]

Great looking car.

[@uncensored5104]

I have one in Polar white with red interior in the UK. Its probably the only 65 Cyclone over here. I must say I prefer the 64 front end and the 65 rear end.

[@musclecarcampy9922]

That is so cool. I’m partial to the stacked headlights, but the ‘64 nose is pretty sweet.

[@gregkistner1955]

Had a 64 Comet non GT. back in the day to bad I stupidly smashed the whole pass. side of the car! 😞

[@musclecarcampy9922]

It happens sometimes.

[@andyfrance1514]

my brother had one with a 390 2 barrel and a 3 speed.i still remember that factory shifter rattling.

[@vaughnharris6404]

My buddy had one in high school.. I believe it had a 390 in it??? Been almost 50 years..

[@musclecarcampy9922]

The 390 came along in ‘66.
