This listing is for a 1963 Mercury Comet Convertible with a clean Florida title and current registration. I have owned it a year or so and it's been a great car. This Comet is a cool restomod/hot rod type build. It blends classic styling and lines with a more modern drivetrain and brakes. This comet is a solid driving car that has never left me stranded. I drive it usually once every week or Two. I drove it over 100 miles round trip today to the beach. The comet has a 351w V8 attached to a tremec 5-speed mated to a posi rear end. It rolls on nice looking 17" wheels with 205/40/17 tires with plenty of tread left. The paint is a good driver quality, and it shows very well, but it does have a few knicks and chips. The body is also nice and smooth but if you look hard enough you may find a small ding or two, but you would have to really look and my camera could not pick any up. I bought this car from California, and it is completely rust free. The original California black plates will come with the car if desired. The new power top functions correctly. It has heat and defrost, but no a/c. The two tone interior is in great shape and really sets the car off ! This car moves and turns serious heads. The fuel gauge, tach, and oil pressure gauge work, but the speedo does not. Temp gauge works, but reads high due to the sender on the block not being the correct ohm. The car consistently runs approx 205 degrees even in 100 degree Florida summer days. Please email me if you need more pictures.
