    No I wish I had saved some. I know where there is a 65 cyclone but the lady that has it won't sell it .It belonged to her late husband. I have tried to buy it for years even before he passed away.

    That comet is in nice condition for how old it is. Can you still bang those gears like you used to?

    Hi Will,
    Yes, the car is in good shape for the year it is.
    When I had the car back in my youth it was all together.
    Now, it has gone through a couple other people, they lost all the side trim that went with the car and a few other chrome peices including the Drivers seat.
    For some reason they had the passengers seat in place of the drivers seat and the drivers seat did not come with the car.
    I have the door panels but they are all water damaged.

    As far as bangin those gears, we will have to find out when I get her running again.
    LOL!!

    Thanks,
    Guy
