Can i buy the dash block off from you ?

[@irocitZ]

I don't care if its Ford, GM, Chrysler or AMC. If its mid 60s black with red interior, Cragar's, vintage Sun tach, and what looks like Hillborn injection with a manual trans and sounds like that. its definitely right up my alley, whoever built that did a killer job, that thing looks & sounds so freaking mean! 🤨👍

[@gregkistner1955]

Had a 64 Comet but your 65 is excellent !! Great ride!

[@nicholaschase768]

The comets are sick but I love the pre-muscle design. It has a very classic look to it but with some thick back tires it has a very classy muscle feel to it. Absolutely love this car and Will one day spend as much money as possible to get one. Great vid.

[@richardtibbetts574]

I will get you one. Cost of car plus finder’s fee of course.

[@jacksonian8]

I had a 65 Comet when in high school. It had a 289 hi-po engine that I added Cobra Kit extras to. Probably pushing between 350 and 375 hp. Love your video! Thanks!....J

[@kennethchapman9564]

Which transmission did your K code comet come with? Mine had a Borg Warner T-10, the factory tag said it was original to the car but I had heard that was an option and that most came with top loaders. Mine was my second car, I traded my first for it, my 68 Mercury Cougar XR7. That car I have since discovered had some very rare options. Power everything, windows, seats, brakes and steering. It had a 302 4v from the factory. Leather interior, full console car with even the overhead console. Dark blue with black vinyl top. Had both of those while I was in high school.

[@jacksonian8]

@@kennethchapman9564 Yes I had the same transmission that you did. My car would punish Chevy II's and some of the Chevelles with the exception of the big blocks....J

[@mercuryman1958]

Sweet ride! I have a '65 Mercury Comet Cyclone with the 289 4 speed . I've owned it since 1975 as the third owner. Mine is nice but yours is simply outstanding and well out of my league. Thanks for sharing your video!

[@lorenhewitt8279]

sorry to be so off topic but does any of you know a trick to log back into an Instagram account..? I stupidly lost my account password. I would appreciate any tricks you can offer me.

[@terranceoakley8259]

@Peyton Greyson thanks so much for your reply. I found the site on google and Im in the hacking process now. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@terranceoakley8259]

@Peyton Greyson it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy:D Thanks so much you really help me out!

[@peytongreyson6630]

@Terrance Oakley glad I could help =)

[@barneyrubbel7991]

Bad ass rig, brother. I had a stock 65, nuthin fancy or fast. My dad (who had raced successfully, including a Ferrari) bought one before he returned to SE Asia in 69. He let one of his employees take it home one night...BIG mistake. He crashed it and then ditched in in a rice-paddy. True story.

[@davidteixiera8398]

That Comet is pure wickedness just think 1965 beautiful 😍

[@scottbarrett263]

Bad ass comet 👍🔥

[@jerrykolosinsky4615]

Really nice

[@crippleguy415]

EYE CANDY, and it looks oh so SWEET ❤😃🇺🇸👍🏻

[@randycoursey7230]

Wow, that is one BAD ASS COMET! I owned a "64" Comet Cyclone, 289 hp. Should have never wrecked it. They are worth a small fortune today.

[@stevenfan1218]

Need to see that motor .

[@davidkerns723]

One bad muther

[@kennethchapman9564]

I had a 65 Fairlane K code hardtop a 66 Mercury Cyclone GT Holman Moody edition with 427 four speed and a 67 Fairlane GTA with 428cj which wasn't the original engine but it wasn't stock anyway. I have owned 6 mustangs and a 68 Mercury Cougar XR7 but have always considered myself to be a Fairlane/Comet Cyclone/ Torino guy.

[@derekpierkowski7641]

The Perfect ride!

[@vincewilliams5219]

That is a beauty ❤️❤️

[@jeffreyyeater1780]

Wicked wicked car .

[@threeforty7]

What was that sound at 2:03? A tire rubbing or steering component hitting something? Exhaust hitting something? Just the differential coming out of a tight turn? Very interested in this car but would like to discuss any and all issues. Thanks.

[@JesseBillington]

Axel judder, it is fitted with an LSD.

[@JoeSchmo-u1d]

AWESOME!!

[@randyhilger9114]

In high school my friend had a 67 cyclone 390 4 speed we used to bomb around in it it was fast

[@scooterdoughmas3012]

[@jeffrobodine1850]

Drive that damn car Man WTF 💯💯👍😎

[@mikethebbqguyupinsmoke3410]

I had a 65 Caliente when I was 16 or 17, I had to sell it after the wiring harness burned up and I couldn't afford to fix it. I'm 50 years old now and can hardly stand to look at one of these beautiful cars without welling up.

[@eddiedoran7427]

289 High Performance!

[@raywilliams1477]

Didn't get to see the motor!!!! Great car. Looken ever so fine!!!! But, no pics of the motor!!!??????? What's up with that???????????

[@randycresci7418]

pics and details in the BaT listing here: bringatrailer.com/listing/1965-mercury-comet-cyclone-3/

[@orwellknew9112]

There is no motor, except the starter motor. The big thing that makes go is the engine. Sorry, I’m just being a copy cat, copying some of the nitpickers who get upset when people say motor instead of engine. This one sounds very nice though.

[@scottywalker4312]

O my god! I miss my love!

[@northfloridacowboy8728]

Ok, kinda crazy, I don't know this car, the owner, nor am I from the area. However, when you head down the hwy and then make that first left turn, that then comes to a T or goes straight where those trucks are parked, I am %1000 percent sure I've delivered to that location before. Is this in NY? I believe that building was near Rochester, but I've been all over NY so it could have been else where

[@ablejohnson]

Nice! Looks and sounds bad as!

[@cristiancastro6394]

[@smash8818]

was a nice car. until you wrecked the hood.

[@scooterdoughmas3012]

she's not kosher with the start stop sh🤣😂e just wants ta go

[@kemosabegt350geuss6]

289 with dummy stacks pretending to be a SOHC? Cant give it a like without seeing underhood.

[@danrowell9452]

looks like they are on backwards too usually stacks get higher in rear to aid air flow ,not a fan of the way they look

[@randycresci7418]

Pics and details in the auction listing here: bringatrailer.com/listing/1965-mercury-comet-cyclone-3/ It's a little more than a 289.

[@ToddWimberly]

@@danrowell9452 no they dont, they are typically the same length and if the motor is tilted back then the stacks will also be tilted back.

[@muthulingamt6405]

Car super but that video dont like

[@kevinmcduffie1092]

Lost it with the card 🃏 throats sticking out of hood, very ugly!!
