Vehicle description
WE ARE PLEASED TO OFFER THIS FRESHLY RESTORED 1966 MERCURY COMET SPORT COUPE. THE CAR HAS UNDERGONE A RELATIVELY FULL RESTORATION INCLUDING FLOOR PANS, ENGINE, TRANS, EXHAUST, INTERIOR, AND BASE CLEAR PAINT. WE STARTED WITH A DECENT BODY THAT HAD BEEN STORED FOR ABOUT 15 YEARS AND WENT FROM THERE. LET"S GO BY AREA FIRST:
DRIVE TRAIN: THE COMET HAS A REBUILT 1999 ROLLER 302 WITH GT40 HEADS, A MED RISE 4 BARREL ALUMINUM INTAKE, NEW HOLLEY 600 CFM CARBURETOR, DOUBLE ROLLER TIMING, AND NEW WATER PUMP,BELT,DISTRIBUTOR, DURA SPARK IGNITION, 9MM WIRES, PLUGS, AIR CLEANER, VOLTAGE REGULATOR, BATTERY, CABLES, FILTERS, ENGINE BAY PAINT, LIGHTS, AND A CURRENT ADJUSTMENT INCLUDING TIMING.
THE BODY: THE BODY IS STRAIGHT AND HAD MINIMAL RUST REPAIR AT THE REAR DRIVER SIDE WHEEL WELL BASE. THE PAINT IS TWO STAGE NASON BASE CLEAR WITH NASON 2 TO 1 CLEAR COAT AND THREE COATS EACH. IT HAS NOT NEEDED CUTTING OR BUFFING. THE CHROME BUMPERS ARE A ONE OFF YEAR AND THEY ARE AWESOME. THE EMBLEMS AND CHROME TRIM RINGS ARE ALSO VERY NICE. THERE IS SLIGHT PITTING ON THE REAR TAIL LIGHT HOUSINGS BECAUSE WE COULDN"T FIND REPLACEMENTS. THE WINDOW CHROME IS EXTREMELY NICE WITH A NEW WINDSHIELD AND WEATHERSTRIPS FRONT AND REAR. NEW DOOR WEATHERSTRIP WAS DONE . THE GAPS ARE NICE AND DOORS AND TRUNK CLOSE WELL.
CHASSIS: THE UNDERSIDE WAS REDONE AS WELL. WE INSTALLED A NEW FUEL TANK, SENDING UNIT, FUEL LINES AND FILTERS. WE INSTALLED NEW DUAL FLOWMASTER EXHAUST WITH ALUMINIZED 2 1/4" PIPES. THE FORNT AND REAR FLOOR PANS WERE GLUED AND WELDED AND COATED INSIDE AND OUT WITH RAPTOR TINTABLE WIMBLEDON WHITE LINER. NEW CARPET AND INSULATION WAS ADDED TOGETHER WITH A NEW PACKAGE TRAY AND TRUNK SEPARATOR. A NEW TRUNK MAT WAS INSTALLED LASTLY. THE DASH PAD IS A ONE OFF YEAR AND IN PERFECT SHAPE HAVING NEVER BEEN REDONE. WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR A STOCK 66 RADIO. THERE IS NO SPARE BUT WE HAVE NEW 235-65r15 MAGNUM 500 ALUMINUM MERCURY WHEELS WITH MERCURY CENTER CAPS "ALL NEW" THE CAR GOES 75 WITH EASE AND SOUNDS AWESOME . IT TRACKS VERY STRAIGHT . THE NEW COIL OVER REAR SHOCKS HELP . THE BRAKES WERE REDONE WITH NEW BEARINGS AND SEALS ONLY NEEDING ONE NEW WHEEL CYLINDER. THE ALIGNMENT HAS BEEN CHECKED.
