Vehicle Description
This 1962 Mercury Comet has a cool style all of its own. It has a
very classic exterior, subtly upgraded interior, improved
suspension, and terrific V8 power. So you're looking at something
that's powerful, cool, and distinctive... all for an affordable
price.
The Comet was built for this speedy look. The front overhang,
long/thin tailfins, and afterburner style tail lights make for the
right place to start for a custom build. As you'll see from the
motor and suspension, this is the kind of car that could easily get
away with an upgrade to a wild paint theme, but we really like how
it already is presented. The trim tag tells us black is the
factory-correct color, and it has an older respray that gives off
the aged-in impression. The front end has a cool classic bright
chrome presentation, and so that goes well with the upgraded
smoothie wheels. And the full-length trim shows off the
straightness of the sheetmetal. So it really gives the impression
of an everyday classic, and sleepers like this are always cool.
The appeal of the interior is as clear as black and white,
literally. There has been a solid investment here to intertwine the
high contrast colors on the seats, side panels, headliner, and
carpeting. It not only feels fresh, but there are also cool
details, like the Comet logo embossed in the door panels. While
this goes for a very classic style, there are some well-done driver
upgrades. For example, the classic steering wheel is now on a tilt
column. And your right hand is instantly attracted to the B&M
floor shifter.
One look under the hood, and you'll know this Comet has
out-of-this-world power. This is Ford's mighty 351 cubic-inch V8.
It was built for added muscle with an Edelbrock four-barrel
carburetor, upgraded intake, and headers that feed a sweet-sounding
dual exhaust. Plus, this has the right supporting components, like
an aluminum radiator, dual brake master cylinder, and the battery
relocated over the rear axle for better weight distribution. As you
look underneath, you're going to spot terrific upgrades like the
tubular A-arm front end, a triangulated four-link rear w/adjustable
coilovers, and sway bars front & rear. Plus, the three-speed
automatic transmission, modern tires, and upgraded front disc
brakes make this a good all-around driver.
Power, distinction, and affordability rarely come together this
nicely, so don't miss your chance to catch this Comet. Call
