Mercury Comet's

[Jimbo]

Yeah, I went and overpaid for a piece of junk..........

This thing has been sitting in my garage since I got it. I have to make room, so it's for sale.

1964 Comet 202, 2 door post. 200 I6, 2 speed auto. Interior removed, needs Floorplans, and someone tried to do some body work on the original paint. I have some extra trim pieces to go with it. $1500 obo

Different style? Or keeping the wheels and stance?

He's keeping the wheels and actually going a little lower with it, but changing to a more nostalgic paint scheme...no more red as I understand, and he may be changing the color of the wheels to have more of a magnesium look too.

Biggest thing tho, he had an old Ford Hemi mostly built for it, but decided at the last minute to offload it all and go with more mordern EFI power in it instead....probably with a big power-adder (single turbo).

Yeah, that was probably him...he's local, just over in Bedford. He started unloading a bunch of stuff just a few months back, decided on a different direction with the car and last I talked to him he is going a whole different color scheme, powertrain and all.

Still for sale? Info on it??


Comet's are the only old Fords I like.

If he passes on my offer, I will forward the info. It might be sold for all I know by now.

Was he selling several different hoods on craiglist? I seem to remember that car in the ads with different style hoods on it.

It's not as nice as the others here, but here's my 63 Fairlane with a 221 V8. I'm the 3rd owner, got it from my Grandpa, it has 37k original miles, but it's been sitting since 1982. I plan on just making it a nice cruiser, mostly original except for new paint (same color though), and maybe an AOD to replace the 2 speed auto. It needs a new gas tank, lines (maybe), and the typical tune up stuff. New brake system is already in place. I need to find a 2 barrel carb too if anyone has a line on one. The interior just needs new carpet, rear seatback, headliner.

If you pay more than $20 for one of those 2 brl Autolite 2100, you're paying too much. Super plentiful, super reliable.

Would love to one day have a thunderbolt clone with a sohc motor. That's has to be one of my favorite muscle cars

1964 is my favorite year of ford vehicles! such a great era for ford

The 64 Comet drag cars like in your pictures are my favorites! I've always liked them, maybe even better than the two classics I own now.

Im thinking about scrapping the idea of picking up a 64 fairlane wagon and instead going with a '64 comet 202.

The 202 post is a deceptively light little car, with the 6cyl models weighing in at 2600lbs factory.
