UP FOR AUCTION IS 1968 MERCURY COMET. IT HAS JUST 39K ACTUAL MILES, ALTHOUGH THE ENTIRE DRIVETRAIN IS CHANGED OUT THE REST OF THE CAR SHOWS THE MILEAGE WHICH IS DOCUMENTED ON THE TITLE. THE COMET WAS THE ENTRY LEVEL OF THE MONTEGO BODY STYLE, THIS PARTICULAR UNIT WAS A DEMONSTRATION OF "CHEAP". IT STARTED LIFE WITH 6 CYLINDER, C4 AUTOMATIC AND AN ITSY BITSY REAR AXLE. THAT HAS ALL BEEN CHANGED OUT. THE ENGINE IS A MID 70'S 460, 4 BARREL MOTOR, THE TRANS NOW IS THE BULLITPROOF C6 AND THE ORIGINAL REAR END NIXED IN FAVOR OF A FORD 9 INCH, WITH 3.25 RATIO AND POSITRACTION. THE REAR SPRINGS WERE CHANGED AS WELL ALONG WITH BIG BLOCK COILS FOR FRONT END. THE CAR STARTS, RUNS AND DRIVES EXTREMELY WELL WITH NO KNOWN REPAIRS NEEDED. THE BRAKES HAVE BEEN REDONE COMEPLETELY, MASTER CYLINDER, BRAKE HOSES, SPRING AND HARDWARE KITS, ALL WHEEL CYLINDERS AND LININGS MAKE THIS CAR STOP LIKE IT SHOULD. STEERING IS MANUAL AND WORKS FINE. RADIATOR IS A NEW BIG BLOCK PIECE AS WELL. IT HAS 4 NEW SHOCKS, FLOWMASTER EXHAUST AND 4 BRAND NEW TIRES. WATER PUMP, DISTRIBUTOR, TIMING CHAIN AND GEARS WERE REDONE BEFORE THE ENGINE WAS INSTALLED ALSO. INTERIOR IS NEAR NEW WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE FRONT SEAT BACK. SEE PICS. THE CIGARETTE LIGHTER HAS NEVER BEEN USED. THE DASH IS NOT CRACKED, THE GAGES AND FACES ALL LOOK NEW. ALL KNOBS AND OTHER DASH APPOINTMENTS ARE IS AS NEW CONDITION. THE ORIGINAL RUBBER FLOOR MAT IS AS NEW BUT IS NOW UNDER NEW CARPETING. THE CAR IS FROM VIRGINIA AND IT SHOWS, THE CAR WAS REPAINTED SOME TIME AGO AND STILL LOOKS VERY, VERY NICE. I HAVE DELIBERATELY MADE THIS CAR TO HAVE THE APPEARANCE OF A "SLEEPER" WITH THE STEELIES AND BOTTLE CAPS. SAVE FOR A COUPLE EMBLEMS, MOST WON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE.
