The 1963 Mercury Comet S-22 Convertible. This car came factory equipped with a Dagenham 4 speed transmission on the floor. When most cars of this style and era came with a manual 2 speed or at best, a 3 speed on the tree, this S-22 was way ahead of its time. Keep in mind, this is not a Corvette or muscle car. This very rare classic was ordered with an optional Dagenham 4 speed transmission. Dagenham is an English made transmission made exclusively for Ford. Ford used this transmission in only 2 models, the Meteor S-33 and this car, the Comet S-22. 1963 was the first year of the S-22 convertible. Only 5757 S-22 convertibles were made that year. The S-22 Comet was only available for four years; 1960-1964. The interior is completely original and in excellent condition. All trim shines bright & has a crisp clean appearance. All gauges and features work properly including the AM radio. Although seat belts were not required in 1963 and are not required in a classic car today, rear seat belts have been added for the kids.. The seats are in excellent condition. This car is suitable for long or short drives, any day or every day. The straight 6 cylinder engine offers great gas mileage and the straight six is virtually indestructible. Your gonna love this thing! Don't miss this opportunity.
