Just curious, how you handled all the tight spots. There is a lot of trim on that car and paint in small areas within the trim. How did you handle that?

Nice work!

Nice and eeeeeesay.

100,000 is no big deal anymore. I think 200,000 is the new 100,000 for a gas engine and 300,000 + for diesel engines

I was kind of confused about when the auction would be so I emailed them.

Jose,

Thank you for your email and interest in the Comet, it was already offered at our Ft. Lauderdale sale in February where it sold for $61,600. Please contact us again if you see something else you may be interested in.

Regards,
Jonathan.

Joe,

I am a member of the Augusta International Raceway Preservation Society in Augusta, Georgia. Our speaker this month was Howard G."H.G." Rosier who drove one of the Comets at Daytona. The car you detailed may very well be the one that he drove. The endurance event at Daytona was the start of a 25-plus year career for H.G. with FoMoCo.

Thank you for your post. Very interesting! I did a search on the car/teams just after I detailed it and didn't find very much about the cars or drivers online.

Thank you!
