This 1963 Mercury Comet Convertible was originally specified in turquoise with a color-coordinated interior and an F-code 260ci V8 linked to a two-speed automatic. It has been redone and modified, and it now has two-tone paintwork, a color-coordinated interior, a 302ci V8, and a C-4 automatic, and the seller tells us that the suspension and brakes were also overhauled. It is further equipped with power-assisted four-piston front calipers, Borgeson power steering, and a lowered suspension along with chrome smoothies, an aluminum intake manifold, an Edelbrock carburetor, and Cobra-script valve covers.
More details
Acquired by the seller in 2022, this Comet is now offered with a Washington title in the seller’s name. The seller tells us that the car was painted with a dark green base coat before the pearl upper section was painted, and it has a black soft top that is shown raised in the gallery below. The seller notes small rust holes in the trunk.
The suspension was lowered, and an uprated sway bar, Borgeson power steering, and front disc brakes were added, and the car rides on 14″ chromed smoothies with white-stripe tires. The interior was redone and features turquoise upholstery, pearl upholstery accents and piping, and a push-button AM radio. A three-spoke wheel fronts a 100-mph speedometer, and the seller has driven 2k of the 80k indicated miles.
The 302ci V8 is topped by an aluminum intake manifold and an Edelbrock carburetor, and it also has finned Cobra-script valve covers and a matching air cleaner. The seller tells us that the radiator, battery, and hoses were all changed as part of the work. A C-4 automatic has been retrofitted, and the car has a dual exhaust system.
The Washington title carries a Classic brand.
