Gear Vendor
Photos of Kailua's Gear Vendor OD unit. This is similar to the unit I have except mine is in a 65 Comet Cyclone with a 460, C6 and 4:11 9 inch rear end.

Don't know why I couldn't get them up I like your car, J Looks like a serious race car When I did mine (in pictures above), the fellow that helped me had worked for GV for some years (he provided me an empty case to use as a mock up). He also had a very special OD that GV had built for him to make it shift much faster for use in a race car. But it was stolen from his work place before he was ever able to use it.

Re: Gear Vendor
One with a 460+ engine on N2O! The OD is controlled electronically from a pushbutton on the gearshift. It allows you to select multiple gear combinations. The OD is there for highway speeds not for acceleration (except when you have trees to pull).

Re: Gear Vendor
Those 64 and 65 comets were 2 of the best factory drag cars produced. In the 60's, I would go to Lions Drag Strip every Saturday nite and Sachs and Sons would run their comet and smoke the tires the whole 1/4 mile. Ah yes, the good days. You did good J.S.

Re: Gear Vendor
Built the car for my son, bought it around 1980. It has gone through several different engines and drivetrains. Not many of them around, I always loved the body style. The current setup is running in the 650-700hp range.

Re: Gear Vendor
You sound like my kids! They are all stick shift fans, I always preferred automatics on the big horsepower engines.
