I am selling my beautiful 1963 Mercury Comet Convertible (S-22 trim package). 86,969 original miles on this down south car. No rust and good solid and straight car. No dents and it has all of its chrome! The paint is a B and the interior has been restored and is a B+. The engine is the original 260 V8 and it has a two speed merc-o-matic automatic transmission. The engine runs great once warmed up for 30 seconds and has never let me down. The car was restored about 10 years ago and I have a small packet with receipts and pictures from the restoration. The top is red and was also replaced and it is like new. It also has a retro sound head unit with bluetooth and new speaker system. I replaced the plugs, wires, distributor, points and coil. I also replaced the water pump, radiator, thermostat. Rebuilt the power steering box, had the strut arm bushings replaced and most of the steering components were warn so those were replaced as well. I had it lowered 2" and had the alignment professionally done and it drives true and smooth. I had the brakes checked last month and they are in great shape. Last year I had new Coker tires and steel rims installed for a updated look. I also have the original tires, rims and hubcaps as well. Tires have 2,000 miles on them. I bought the car from a nice old farmer in Bowling Green Kentucky. I am sad to sell the car but I just got married and we need to save up money for a new house. I would put this up against any Comet in this RARE year. Overall a great car and tons of fun. It will also get you into back to the 50's car shows! Things that need attention:The rear tail lights have some pitting on the chrome. They are available online for replacement or have them re-chromed.Small scuff on the right side top of bumper. 1/2" x 2" (see picture)Door locks don't work. I don't ever lock this car because its more expensive to replace glass or top.Speedometer cable is kinked and speedometer bounces around. New cables are an easy fix. PayPal Deposit of $500 is due 24hrs after auction. Cashiers check must be sent within 7 days of auction ending. I don't have a shipping company but I'm ok if you hire one to pick it up. I would recommend a closed trailer so no scratches happen on transport. Please email with any questions if your a serious buyer.

It was removed before the car made it to me. Its a cheap part and only effects cold starts. You can start the car and put it into gear right away. I just like it to warm it up a little.On Aug-05-14 at 21:04:38 PDT, seller added the following information: To clarify: orignal rims and hub caps, tires, springs and original non functioning radio will be included in this auction.
