If you need info on the Comfortron, I can send you a write-up I did after much study and experience with the system.

Nice car, Steve!

I had a '66 Starfire in the same Target Red color, but it had white interior (vinyl) buckets; are those cloth seats original, as I have never seen a Starfire with cloth interior? I know the '65 Starfires had leather/vinyl seats, but the '66 was a cheaper version with all vinyl.

Nevertheless, the '66 was a GREAT car, and went like a bat out of heck for it's size/weight!

I like it, looks like a desert car, how is the potmetal trim? This is the first to pit in the north east.

Those center consoles were so classy, it will look really nice when you have it finished I am sure.

hi the potmetal is so so what does suck is im missing the trim strip above back window trim . some reason they took off and grinded off the stubs as they had a vinyl top put on at one time .

I think I have that piece. I had a 66 and have very few left over parts...

My Comfortron is running just fine. I recently upgraded to a Sanden compressor. I had a little trouble at first getting refrigeration until I found out the Receiver/Dryer was clogged.
Send me your address in a PM and I will mail you the writeup and schematics.
