1960 Comet 4 Door Station Wagon: £10,000 NO OFFERS
A Mercury Comet 4 Door Station Wagon but being 1960 model was just called a Comet, sold through certain Comet dealerships. (I will refrain from giving a massive boring history lesson on Comet's). Pictures below.
Solid underneath and has had a multitude of new parts fitted, drives beautifully and gets so much attention everywhere.
It has a rebuilt 144 cui straight six. The gearbox is a 3-speed column change manual, no slush-box auto. Brakes have been upgraded to a dual circuit system with all new hard and flexi lines, brake shoes were almost new upon inspection last year, the brakes are sharp and locks up without much effort. New dampers all round.
Bespoke centre console made to house gauges as well as additional switches for screen wash, fan, tailgate and tacho. The tacho is a temporary measure while the engine is being run in.
Paintwork isn’t perfect, it was in a barn in North Wales for 5 years prior to my ownership and painted about 10 years ago. Polishes up well but has the odd blemish here and there, she's also over 60 years old so to be expected.
Interior is in good shape and had been re-upholstered in the states, to make it perfect I would suggest the headliner needs replacing but that’s it.
I registered the car and am the first UK owner. Also comes with a ton of spares that I've been amassing.
This is a genuinely rare car, only 18,000 produced in 1960, this car was built on the 27th of June making it a fairly early example. You are unlikely to see another one, ever. This is believed to be the only one of its kind in Europe. Under the skin it is a Ford Falcon so easy to get many parts for and they don’t cost the earth either. Cheap to insure and valued at £15,000.
Overall, a presentable car with potential to become perfect.
Any questions feel free to contact me on 07504058487 if I’m unable to pick up please leave a message and I’ll get back to you.
