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.

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.

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.

I'd love something I could treat with that level of contempt, with that amount of horse power. Martin. |

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