"1964 Mercury Comet Tribute lightweight drag car. The originals were produced by Dearborn Steel Tubing, with only around 21 or 22 made. This tribute car faithfully recreates the iconic features of the original AFX (Factory Experimental) Comet drag racers, including the fiberglass lightweight hood and bumper, roll cage, and a powerful 427 cubic inch side oiler V8 engine with dual 4bbl carbs, paired with a top-loader four-speed manual transmission. The car produces just under 600 horsepower at the rear wheels, delivering impressive performance while maintaining an authentic period-correct look. It pays homage to the drag racing heritage with authentic decals, engine cold air inlets coming from the bright headlight bulb bezel, dual four-barrel Holley carburetors, and a stripped-down, race-ready interior with racing harnesses and modernized gauges. The battery has been relocated to the truck with a drag style on/off switch. Riding on white steel wheels with dog dish hubcaps and radial tires. This tribute offers an affordable alternative to the extremely rare and highly valuable original cars, perfect for drag racing enthusiasts and collectors alike. The speedo runs fast. On the road, an authentic vintage drag car feel and sound, catching lots of peoples attention, easy to drive, with plenty of power and incredible throttle response.
