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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.
@Racoldgin7 ай бұрын
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.
@joeblow19427 ай бұрын
@@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?
