1964 Mercury Comet Super Stocker Factory Drag Tribute on 2040-cars

Muscle Car Garage:

We are a private collection of 60's and 70's muscle cars. We also do restorations in our two locations in the Jacksonville and Orlando area. From time to time we decide to offer one of our collector cars up for sale. Our vehicles are usually full "nut and bolt" restorations and are the quality of a regional or local show car winner. Many of our cars are previous trophy winners. We are not dealers just car enthusiasts who have been collecting cars for years and performing restorations to the level of regional show car quality. We are not a concourse restorer, and many of our cars are trailered to events but most vehicles can be driven if you choose to do so.

Exterior Details:

Comet was repainted original Wimbledon White about 6 months ago. Color match steelies with new Kumho tires and bullet lug nuts give it that vintage drag car look. Hood is metal with fiberglass tear drop hood scoop that was applied in a high quality way with an epoxy agent for lasting results. Hood has working existing latch and hood pins. Comet has the super cool blue vintage drag tint and old school racing stickers in each quater window. All chrome and stainless are original and have the correct patina. The glass on the car is all good with no cracks, chips, or hazing. All in all the Comet has that super cool simplistic factory issue look that drag cars had back in the sixties,

Interior Details:

The interior of the car is mostly original but in very nice shape. The headliner and carpet were replaced but the upholstery and door panels appear original but are still pretty nice. We did replace some door handles and cranks as well as the dash bezel. All of the interior of the car was gutted and repainted blue so it looks nice inside. After market Oil and Temp gauges were installed under dash. Comet has an old school dash mounted true vintage Sun Super Tach giving it that sixties drag car look. The hurst Super Comp shifter is precise and looks cool with this bench seat beauty. All interior and dash lighting works as it should inclduing indicators and even the original AM radio light!!!! The cabin fan and defrost are also operational.

Mechanical Details:

The Comet has a Ford 302 that was rebuilt approximately 9,000 miles ago. It was rebuilt to stock specs so we estimate the horsepower at 260. It has a factory Ford 4 barrel manifold and a Holley 600 cfm carb. The ignition has been upgraded to an electronic Pertronix as well as a Fireball Ignitor. Accell wires and Super Coil round out the under hood upgrades. The valve covers are original factory Ford HiPo chrome stamped valve covers with a K&N breather. Radiator has been flushed and brakes have been upgraded to a dual master cylinder reservoir and appropriate proportioning valve. Trans is the super Tremec T5 with cable actuated clutch. Clutch, pressure plate, and throw our bearing were replaced approximately  9,000 miles ago. Comet has dual exhaust into glass packs for that vintage sound and adjustable air shocks in the rear for the look you want. Rear end is a Ford 8" with 3:08 gears. So car runs down the highway nicely in 5th gear. The entire front suspension is from a 1969 Mustang and has the larger sway bar. The steering box was sent off  to get rebuilt as well 9,000 miles ago. This Comet runs and drives very well. It is super reliable and actually gets decent fuel mileage with the 5 speed. There are no surprises mechanically as I rate this as one of our most reliable cars in the collection.

Mechanical Rating: 9 out of 10

In summary, this 1964 Mercury Comet Super Stocker has a very cool vintage look. It runs and drives exceptionally well and is extremely reliable. This is a fun driver quality collectable muscle car that you can have fun with as is or take it to another level by adding a straight axle and a more potent engine for that true gasser look. The car has less than 80,000 original miles on it from what we know and is mostly untouched except for the drivetrain and suspension swap outs that have been done. Interior is mostly original and exterior is as it would have been in the '60's pulling up to the drag strip. Good luck bidding. You juist don't find these and this one is very solid underneath. Call me with questions that I have not answered here at (321) 277-6718. Thanks
