1964 Comet Cyclone: Only 7,454 of these were made. Only one year of this body style was ever built. This car's Data Plate: 63E (2dr.Cyclone) J(Carnival Red) 05 (White interior) A28 (Jan.28 build) 22 (Dallas Texas) 1 (310 to 1) 6 (3 Speed Automatic) Car runs & drives like new. Engine & 3 speed auto transmission were rebuilt. Exhaust is new with stainless mufflers and tips, fabulous sound. List of things done is endless but include: Petronics, tires, brakes & lines, radiator & shroud, heater core, halogen headlights, belts, hoses, generator, regulator, brake solenoid, seat belts, battery, +more. Undercarriage was so excellent that it has been cleaned and painted. You'll be impressed with detailing and overall integrity of the lines and body. Older paint buffed to a beautiful luster- not perfect but is excellent and gets a ton of compliments. Chrome in excellent condition and the front bumper may have been re-chromed. Back bumper is very nice original. Original headliner. Door & trunk gaskets have been replaced. Interior is excellent having been reupholstered at some point and shows very little wear. Title and odometer show that the car has 56k miles and it looks and feels believable, although I would not represent a car this old as original miles. A rust free, drive anywhere no-nonsense car that is as unique and beautiful. Carnival Red color is really rich, and has various looks depending on the light as you can see from the pictures. If you are looking for a car that will stand out in any meet or show, this is one to be proud of. You will, more than likely not see others in this kind of condition. The car is being sold where is, as-is with no warrantee expressed or implied. I recommend you come see it prior to bidding. The car is not advertised anywhere else, but I reserve the right to end the auction at any time prior to it hitting my reserve. Everything but the tachometer and cigarette lighter works including the AM radio.

I've been told it is a 289 by many people who have looked at the pictures, with a 2 BBl. It makes sense that it's a 289 because it is very quick off the line, and on the highway. People who have looked at the pictures say they "know" it is a 289ci, but doubt it's the original motor as the color is wrong. I don't know either way, and consider it a (NOM) non-matching number. I've been told that you need to take the starter out to check the numbers, and I'm not going to do that at this point. So assume it's not the original motor in bidding. It has original looking manifolds. It does not have headers. It's a great car, but if you are looking for a pure matching number Cyclone, this is more than likely not for you. On Sep-28-14 at 13:49:15 PDT, seller added the following information: While driving on freeway yesterday, a truck in front of me kicked up some type of aluminum plate that hit the trunk. It did not dent but did scratch and would need a paint touch up.
