My favorite aunt had a 65 Comet Caliente, white with a red interior. Oh how I loved that car. Always been a Comet fan … and I completely agree with you on stacked headlights. Just love em!

Very few performance cars sold which so obviously encouraged their drivers to put them to the test, which is why it's so hard to find a nice one today. They're all beat, which is a tribute to the car.

I remember seeing this car at the Indiana Shelby Spring Fling a few times back in the day. Now I know why I don't see it anymore.

My big brother tried to buy a new 65 Mustang but the waiting list was too long so he bought a new 65 red on red Cyclone with the 289 and 4 speed manual. I was a little kid then but I’ll never forget what a gorgeous car it was! I never knew those wheels were stainless steel.

Your brother made a good choice. I have a 65 Caliente hardtop. I never knew about the hubcaps either. I just assumed they were chrome plated plastic like most other hubcaps. Now I want to go find a set.

@@Racoldgin Yeah, my idiot brother wrecked his Comet in the first year he bought it! I can see why one might assume that today, but I don’t think anyone made plastic wheel covers back then, did they?

I always thought the hi po 271 horse 289 was an option on this Cyclone. Reverbs are great. Always loved that echo sound.

One important safety upgrade that should be done if it's going to be a driver is to replace that single-cup master cylinder. With only a single cup for all 4 wheels, if you lose one corner, they're all gone. Ask me how I know... it's the reason I no longer have mine.

That's funny: That car used to be local to me, but I don't remember doing the brake lines on it... Got one or two just like those on my Dentside F150. Now that I have a flare kit, I should cut to length and reflare... I love those chrome reverse wheel-looking wheel covers!! No HiPo is odd - I'm pretty sure you could get it in the Fairlane that year! Is that a Mustang GT gauge cluster on there?
@musclecarcampy9922
Жыл бұрын
I believe the gauge pod is Cyclone-specific. The Fairlane got it, but was a midsize. Cyclone was “senior compact” based on the Falcon.

I have one in Polar white with red interior in the UK. Its probably the only 65 Cyclone over here. I must say I prefer the 64 front end and the 65 rear end.
