UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS 1973 MERCURY COMET GT. IT IS A CALIFORNIA CAR, ABSOLUTELY RUST FREE. SOLD OUT OF FRANK MOTORS IN NATIONAL CITY CA. AND MIGRATED TO SAN JOSE. CAR HAS ORIGINAL PAINT AND INTERIOR AND IS EXTREMELY NICE. ONE OF THE NICEST ORIGINALS YOU MAY FIND. NOT LICENSED SINCE 1990, AND FOUND IN A WAREHOUSE. THE CAR BELONGED TO A FRIEND OF FRIEND OF MINE IN SAN JOSE CA. SADLY THE MAN PASSED AWAY FROM CANCER LAST YEAR. HE WAS AN AVID COLLECTOR OF HIGH END CARS AND TO THIS DAY NO ONE IS SURE WHY HE WANTED THIS ONE. THESE ARE THE OPTIONS AS DETAILED BY THE MARTI REPORT. IF YOU WANT A COPY SEND ME YOUR E-MAIL ADDRESS AND I WILL SEND IT TO YOU. CA. EMISSIONS TESTING C-4 AUTOMATIC DR7814 RADIAL TIRES WHITE SIDEWALL TIRES CONVIENIENCE GROUP POWER STEERING BUMPER RUB STRIPS FLOOR MOUNTED SHIFTER AIR CONDITIONER-WHISPER AIR AM/FM STEREO RADIO GT APPEARANCE GROUP TINTED GLASS HEAVY DUTY BATTERY ALUMINUM WHEELS [RARE] CROSS COUNTRY PACKAGE BODY: AS STATED BEFORE THIS IS AN ORIGINAL CALIFORNIA CAR, BEEN HERE IN WISCONSIN SINCE LAST YEAR BUT NEVER DRIVEN IN ANY WEATHER. THE FLOORS AND UNIBODY ARE SPOTLESS. THEY ARE PLAIN AND SIMPLY "STUPID NICE, DON'T EVEN ASK" THE PAINT IS IN REALLY NICE SHAPE, GOOD SHINE WITH SOME CHIPS AND MINIMAL DOOR DINGS. I DID REPAINT THE HOOD BLACKOUT AND REAR BODY PANEL TREATMENT. THE FACTORY STRIPES ARE IN GREAT CONDITION AND NOT CRACKED OR CHECKED LIKE MOST ORIGINALS. THE BUMPERS ARE DRIVER QUALITY, ALL GLASS ORIGINAL AND GOOD. IT EVEN HAS THE ORIGINAL ALUMINUM WHEELS IN NEARLY PERFECT CONDITION AS ARE THE CENTER CAPS. PROBABLY ONE OF THE STRAIGHTEST COMET GT'S AVAILABLE. INTERIOR: THIS IS A COMPLETELY ORIGINAL INTERIOR AND IN UNREAL CONDITION. NOT TYPICAL OF WEST COAST CARS. THIS ONE HAS BEEN INDOORS MUCH OF THE TIME. THE CARPET HAS SOME FADE AND WEAR BUT IT IS THE WEAKEST LINK IN THE CHAIN. THE DASH HAS NO CRACKS, HEADLINER IS DAY ONE NICE AS ARE THE ORANGE PLASTIC TRIM PIECES IN THE CAR. TRY TO FIND ONE THIS NICE!!!!! DASH LIGHTS, DOME LIGHT AND BUZZER WORK PERFECT. AM/FM PLAYS GREAT AND THE HEATER WORKS AS WELL. I DID ADD A SMALL AFTERMARKET GAGE SETUP JUST TO MONITOR VITALS. I JUST DON'T TRUST IDIOT LIGHTS, OR AS I LIKE TO CALL THEM "TOO LATE LIGHT" IF THEY GO ON, IT'S TOO LATE. MECHANICAL; IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE ORIGINAL 302 WAS NIXED AND IN IT'S PLACE IS A 302 OUT OF 88 OR 89 MUSTANG GT. IT HAS HEADERS [NO LEAKS], AN ALUMINUM INTAKE AND A 4 BARREL CARB. OTHERWISE IT SEEMS STOCK AND PERFORMS QUITE NICELY. IT HAS A NEW RADIATOR, BELTS, HOSES, ALTERNATOR AND NEW DUAL EXHAUST FRONT TO BACK WITH WELL PLACED TAILPIPES. THE TRANS SHIFTS PERFECTLY AND ON TIME WITH NO LEAKS. THE CAR ALSO HAS A NEW MASTER CYLINDER WITH UPGRADED DISC BRAKES. HAS 4 NEW P205-70-14 BFG'S. THE CAR STARTS EASILY AND IS VERY RESPONSIVE, POWER STEERING WORKS GOOD ALSO. THE CAR DRIVES NICE AND STRAIGHT, BUT IT IS A COMET. RIDE QUALITY LEAVES A LITTLE TO BE DESIRED, JUST LIKE IT DID WHEN IT WAS NEW!! THINGS THAT NEED ATTENTION: THE AC IS MISSING SOME PIECES WHICH I DO NOT HAVE. THE FUEL GAGE WORKED AND NOW HAS STOPPED AND HAVE NOT LOOKED INTO IT. IF YOU WANT AN ORIGINAL PIECE, THAT HAS NOT BEEN WHACKED BEYOND BELIEF AND NOT SPEND MACH 1 MONEY, THEN THIS IS YOUR CAR. PLEASE CALL WITH QUESTIONS 715-281-9340 OR E-MAIL. CAR IS SOLD AS IS, SO PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS. I WANT THE NEW OWNER TO BE SATISFIED. TRANSPORTATION IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE BUYER BUT WILL ASSIST ANYWAY I CAN. I REQUIRE A 25% DEPOSIT 3 BUSINESS DAYS AFTER CLOSE OF AUCTION AND A PHONE CALL WITHIN 24 HOURS TO CONFIRM PAYMENT AND PICKUP PLANS. THE BALANCE TO BE PAID 7 DAYS AFTER LISTING CLOSES. SORRY TO SOUND HARSH BUT TOO MANY LEAKERS OUT THERE. HAPPY BIDDING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
