1972 MERCURY COMET VIN: 2K31F550454 CALIFORNIA CAR ALMOST COMPLETE SUMMER PROJECT! I BOUGHT THIS CAR TO HAVE SOMETHING ELSE TO MESS WITH. THIS CAR WAS NEVER DRIVEN EXTENSIVELY. THE COMET RUNS OK WITH LOTS OF POWER, BUT RUNS ROUGH AND COULD USE A GOOD TUNEUP. NO SMOKE. NO OIL LEAKS EXCEPT A SMALL LEAK FROM THE POWER STEERING IT MIGHT BE FROM THE HOSE OR HOSE CLAMP. THE STEERING HAS A LITTLE DELAY IN IT. IF YOU MERGE FROM LANE TO LANE CAR STILL WANTS TO HEAD IN DIRECTION IT WAS MERGING IN FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND. I GUESS YOU COULD SAY THAT IT HAS ABOUT A 1 SECOND DELAY IN STEERING. I'VE TAKEN THE CAR OUT A FEW TIMES AROUND THE BLOCK AND THOUGH IT HAS POWER, I WOULDN'T TAKE IT TOO FAST DUE TO THE STEERING ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS FINE, BUT AS YOU LET OFF OF THE GAS YOU CAN KIND OF FEEL THE DOWN SHIFT A LITTLE. NOTHING REALLY MAJOR. JUST NEEDS SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS HOW TO WORK ON THESE COOL CLASSIC CARS. THE BRAKES WORK, BUT NEED SOME ADJUSTMENTS. ONE TIRE MAY BRAKE HARDER THAN ANOTHER TIRE WHICH CAN BE FELT UPON SLOWING DOWN. THE BRAKES ARE VERY CHEAP LIKE $15.00, BUT I DON'T HAVE THE TIME ANYMORE. IT HAS A 302 ENGINE WITH AN EDELBROCK PERFORMER INTAKE MANIFOLD & AN EDELBROCK 600CFM ELECTRIC CHOKE CARBURETOR (CHROME). FLOWMASTER DUAL EXHAUST IT SOUNDS GREAT. B&M FLOOR SHIFTER. THE CAR IS LOWERED AND HAS A MEAN STANCE. THE COBALT BLUE METALLIC PAINT IS ABOUT A YEAR OLD. THERE ARE SMALL DENTS ON THE THE HOOD AND TRUNK THAT THE BODY MAN MISSED MORE LIKE WAVES AND A FEW AROUND THE CAR. IN NO WAY WOULD THIS BE CONSIDERED A SHOW CAR (AT LEAST NOT YET), BUT ALL IN ALL CAR IS A BEAUTY AND TURNS HEADS. THE INTERIOR HAS SEATS FROM A NEWER CAR I NEVER GOT AROUND TO DOING ANYTHING WITH THE INTERIOR IT WOULD'VE BEEN MUCH BETTER IF IT HAD SMALLER BUCKET SEATS, IT ALSO NEEDS A DASH PAD. THE PLASTIC TRIM NEXT TO THE REAR SEATS ON THE LEFT AND THE RIGHT IS CRACKED AND BROKEN (PLEASE SEE PICTURES). IT HAS 4 NEW RIMS AND TIRES. AGAIN, THIS IS NO SHOW CAR BY ANY MEANS IT IS WHAT IT IS AND I REALLY NEVER HAD TIME FOR IT. THERE IS NO RUST AND THE CAR IS VERY SOLID. THIS IS A GREAT SUMMER PROJECT THAT DOESN'T NEED TO MUCH TO BE COMPLETED. THIS COMET PROJECT IS SOLD AS IS.. I WOULDN'T DRIVE THIS CAR LONG DISTANCE UNTIL THE STEERING DELAY GETS FIXED AND CAR GETS THE TUNEUP IT DESERVES. NEW PAINT, LESS THEN A YEAR OLD NEW TIRES NEW RIMS NEW EDELBROCK CHROME AIR FILTER & ELEMENT NEW FUEL PUMP THE COMET IS REGISTERED IN NON-OP WITH A CLEAN AND CLEAR TITLE IN HAND.
