There is evolutionary and then there is revolutionary and that is what the 1966 "flip up" Comets were. At 1700 pounds powered by an injected 427 SOHC they won a staggering 86% of all races they participated in. The weight reduction program was so severe - there are no brakes on the front. The brakes on the rear were experimental Kelsey-Hays all aluminum (including the rotors) disc brakes.
