  • 964 Mercury Comet Caliente (1,332HP - 1,040 ft/lbs Torque) 😃
    The amazing Hot Rod belongs to Russ and Jo Stover. It took over 20yrs to finish but it was well worth the wait. This Caliente is a dream on wheels. Sit back and let Russ tell you about the build!

      the brakes on your car u can fix--the breakks on a body-yours and others-cant really be fixed-this guy needs his license revoked for five years, his plates taken away, any be uninsurable for a long time

      Brakes were fine, driver’s lack of understanding in how brakes work seems more the issue. Forward energy being converted to heat, “oh, do I smell brakes?”…cook them some more and what do you get? Nothing !🥴 They should’ve parked it as soon as it wouldn’t idle properly.

    So happy to finally see this car. Many years ago I seen a pic of a blown 64 with a chopped roof and those exhaust exits in a fab shop with what I presume was the very proud owner at its side. Then nothing! Always wondering what happened to it. Thankyou so much for sharing and if there is a build thread or more viewing of it please share,, stunning.

    He crashed his car. Luckily he was not killed or nobody else got killed. I feel sorry for the guy but he also did a lot of stupid things. This mechanic says “this is the most ignorant and negligent thing he has seen done with a car.” I saw mistake after mistake. First the throttle was sticking on a 1300 HP car. At that point I would not have driven in the car. Secondly they had harnesses and they choose to put on lap belts! Then he was riding the brakes and you could smell the brakes which were 23 years old. Again really stupid. Stupid is what stupid does. Very dangerous.
