Up for bid is an ULTRA VERY RARE 63 1/2 numbers matching Comet Sportster!! For the Comet, the last 1/2 year had options not available in the earlier year. There was the sleek hardtop option and there was the S-22 option that gave the comet 6 taillights along with bucket seats and console. The 3rd option was the cyclone 260 v8 engine. When all of these 3 rare options were on the same car that car was referred to as the Comet Sportster or in some or in some references the first mercury cyclone. This car has been totally stripped to metal and redone. Motor and transmission have approx 300 miles on their rebuild. Car also has power steering and yes it works well..all rebuilt. I have redone everything from suspension to heater box to seat foam to electrical to window mechanicals to body and paint and chrome. I have spent a great deal of time and money on this rare car! The car runs and drives as new..does have some needs to finish.. will need window/trunk weatherstripping. I have new heater ducting for car that needs to be installed and there is a NOS foot pedal pump for the windshield washer. There is a negitive on the paint.. on the roof there is some lifting as you can see in the photo. I have 1/2 - 3/4 gallon of paint left that will go with the car so it can be fixed. Reason I as selling is simple..I promised to give car to my daughter if she graduates and does not do drugs.. I have a slew of photos of when i bought this car and to show its authenticity and for documentation This car was a southern California car it whole life so there was very minimmial rust. Reserve is set at a very low $10,500.00 I will work with the winning bidder on transportation. Buyer is responsible for setting up, pickup and paying for all costs.
