D-Dart Contributors,
I knew I could stir up the pot a little more. Very good pick-up on the
1966 Comet (Jim R). But, (McCormack Mercury) home of the semi-famous 'Billy Lagana', a 65' Comet A/FX racer, out of Mt. Kisco, New York had one. Probably not a production line car. Not sure if it was a factory installed special order, or dealer installed option. But it was a 289/271HP car. It was running in C/S in 67' (when classes were bumped up one notch). Same thing, 13.80's @100 MPH.....
Alex, Those "Auburn'' clutches. Were like a box of 'Dunkin Donuts'. Good for a dozen only. (12 holeshots only). How would you like to find an "Inland Shifter' and an 'Auburn' clutch package under the Christmas Tree. Mother Mopar did make some bad mistakes....
