I had a '60 Vomit er... Comet nicknamed "Ole Smokey" because we could never find the fine oil leak that caused it to a) burn oil and 2) smoke like a 2-pack of Camels smoker.

Awesome post! Like you read my mind. I had a 66 red Cyclone. I learned to drive on it. One night on I-96 outside Detroit, I had the needle up as far as it would go, a few notches over 120 mph. What a great car! I still dream about it. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have a 1968 Mercury Comet sports coupe sitting in my driveway, all original but came with a 250 C.I. 6

Bummer on the 6.

I never owned any Mercs, although I came close to getting a '67 Cougar .

Now Falcons & Torino's?

1960 Falcon
1963 Falcon Sprint
1964 Falcon (Sprint wannabe)
1964 Falcon 2-door "Squire" wagon
1969 Torino GT
1970 Torino
1972 Torino Ranchero

I don't think I ever paid more than $300 for any of them, drove the heck outta them, and sold almost every one for more than I paid ;'}

(now that's having fun with cars!)
