1960 Mercury Comet 4 door 6 cylinder wagon with 42,665 miles. [But I am having fun driving it every day with the 3 speed on the column, so the the mileage will be slightly higher once purchased] . 95% original car. This is an extremely reliable car that comfortably shares the freeways and backroads with the traffic of today. No expense was spared in making it a reliable, operable car. It starts immediately, runs smoothly and I would have no worry about taking it on a long days drive anywhere. New parts with receipts include these: battery, 4 shocks front coil springs and seats, front end bushings, wheels cylinders, brake hoses, master cylinder, fuel pump, hood bumpers and insulation, recored radiator, new fuel and brake lines, new gas tank and sending unit, rebuilt carb. Firestone tires are like new. Good exhaust. Original wiper fluid bag. Take a look at the original interior—it shows only minimal use. The driver’s seat is not sunken in from years of use. Beautiful steering wheel and horn ring. Everything works except the radio and heater, and the horn sometimes. The old enamel aqua paint job is a real head turner—usually they ask “where is the surf board?” There are areas on the exterior of flaking, scratches, bubbling, etc as you would expect. The stainless side molding is really nice, and most of these pieces have no dings at all. The original cargo mat is there in great shape. Under it and the carpet you can see surface browning, but no weak spots or holes or rot. The front floor area where your foot goes was replaced previously with heavy welded steel, and two small rust spots on the back floor were repaired, but it is otherwise very solid and roadworthy in all respects. I have the original owner’s manual and the Ford/Mercury Dealer Shop Manual that will be included. Original keys. All windows roll up and down smoothly, including the rear window. The headliner is great, but there is a large hole in it in the back corner about the size of a softball. It could be covered over or, better yet, simply have a new headliner put it. They are readily available for under $150 on eBay and elsewhere. Car can be seen anytime at Charleston, West Virginia. Feel free to call Bill with any questions. Leave message if no answer. 304-389-3900. Thanks for looking.
