I knew that Bill Stroppe built the Merc Comets for the East African Rally,but i have completely forgot that Ray Brock(Hot Rod Magazine Editor in the sixties) had driven one of those in the rally.

My Grandpa took me to watch a Trans-Am series race at Laguna Seca way back before they changed the track. Watched a guy in a beautiful light blue Comet stack it up in the first corner coming off the straightaway.
