Re: 67 R Code Cyclone
Neat cars, and hard to beat a Red Cyclone. I would love to own it. BUT. Despite rarity and the frustrated wails of their owners, Comets don't bring Fairlane money (R code or not), just like Firebirds don't bring Camaro money and Cougars don't bring Mustang money. I have been among the frustrated owners, but it doesn't change the cold facts.
If he's taking the car on trade and isn't in love with it, anything over $50K is probably a gamble, and he ought to have a Ford guy look it over. Is the block a real '67 block? Not so likely when you have to compete with Shelby Cobra owners and even their enthusiastic cloners. Date coded carbs? Correct Toploader?
