Vehicle Description
GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1966 Mercury Comet for
your consideration. This Comet comes in an orange exterior paired
with a red interior, which both are original to the car. Powering
this Comet is a 200 inline 6 mated with a 3-speed manual
transmission. If you are in the market for a Comet that will not
break the bank this solid one is for you! Please call or email us
today for more information.
Beginning in 1966, the Comet grew from a compact to become a
mid-sized car. It was now based on the same chassis as the Ford
Fairlane intermediate (and the previous Mercury Meteor intermediate
which was only offered in 1962-1963). These intermediate-sized cars
used the same basic chassis as the original Ford Falcon and Mercury
Comet compacts but were stretched with longer wheelbases. The
previous generation Comet shared its platform with the all-new Ford
Mustang in 1964, and when the Comet graduated to the intermediate
platform, the Mercury Cougar became the platform shared with the
Mustang.
The Comet wagon would introduce a Dual-Action tailgate, able to
both fold down or swing aside, an idea soon copied by all the major
U.S. manufacturers.
