Re: Oddball Muscle Cars
As for the 66-67 Comets, the late Roger Rice from Montana ran a dark blue 66 Cyclone GTA 390 in G&H/SA until his death about 8-10 years ago. I believe that Chad Langdon had it for awhile, no idea where it is now.
Yes, there were some Comets built with 427`s, but like the Fairlane, they were usually found in the non GT-GTA models. A Ford collector up here had a really nice, black 67 Comet Capri 2 dr HT with a "R" code 427 425HP 2x4 barrel 4 speed bench seat in his collection until a few years ago. (Others in his fleet included 2 64 Thunderbolts, including the Jess Tyee driven Mickey Thompson owned M/T Hemi head 427, an injected 427 SOHC A/FX 66 Mustang, as well as a red 63 Max Wedge Plymouth, and a 70 Hemi Cuda ex SS car. I know the M/T Thunderbolt was on EBay a couple of years ago, I also believe that most, if not all the other cars were also sold.
