Any history on this car?
Any history from you east coast guys on this car? There is an awful lot of class win stickers on it.

Gawd , that's painful to read. Public schools, no doubt.
I don't remember the car.

Re: Any history on this car?
This 1964 Comet's less than 50 miles from me, closer to Boston, and was raced during same time frame as I did, but I don't remember ever seeing this car run down the track even once....either at Orange, Ma., Sanford, Me., Ct. Dragway, Lebanon Valley, or the early days of New England Dragway.....Maybe someone else from here in New England area will recognize and comment on this piece, and in the meantime I'll forward the ebay pics to someone who might remember the car, as well... BTW, the person responsible for writing this ebay description won't be a threat to win any National Spelling Bees in the near future, wow......WJ

Re: Any history on this car?
Could be the stickers were just added for window dressing.I have a Connecting Highway win sticker on my 1985 AMC Eagle s/w.It ain't Back to the Future you know.
Looks like a cool car though.
