Vehicle Description
This 1962 Mercury Comet has a wicked style all of its own. With a
custom paint theme, nice V8 power, and the control of the upgraded
five-speed, you're looking at something that, 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 taillights make for the
right place to start for a custom build. The two-tone red and
silver is a thoughtful application. You see it in the way the red
top portion dips low in the rear, and the bumpers and grille are
painted silver to give the car a well-coordinated and modern look.
Plus, pinstriping was used thoughtfully as the black provides a
clear dividing line for the two-tone. The red pinstriping adds a
nice detail up front. Add in the full-polished wheel set with
half-moon covers, and this is a classic with true distinction.
The red returns inside, and now the black accenting of the exterior
becomes the other major interior color. These two colors are
especially nicely interwoven on the red seats with black inserts
and piping. This has plenty of custom details to make this a nice
driver, like cup holders and a retro-style AM/FM digital tuner.
Plus, you'll love slipping into the bucket seat, grabbing the
wood-rimmed sports steering wheel, and gazing at the crisp Dolphin
gauges. And have you counted the gears on the Hurst shifter
yet?
There's plenty of style in the engine bay as the red inner walls
and supports funnel your attention to plenty of shine and an
imposing black block. This 302 cubic-inch V8 is built for power
with a four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and headers that
feed a sweet-sounding dual exhaust. Plus, this has the right
supporting components, like an aluminum radiator and a new
distributor. You have the best in control as the upgraded
five-speed manual transmission allows you to command the powerband.
Plus, with disc brakes up front, traction bars in the rear, and
Firestone Firehawk tires all-around, this speedy Comet offers good
all-around control.
Power, distinction, and affordability rarely come together this
nicely, so don't miss you chance at this Comet. Call now!
