Join now!!..63 Mercury Comet club.

here it is

 

Lets try this again!

 

I'll join in here... got 2 Comets now, a '63 S-22 hardtop and a '63 Custom convertible...





THe S-22 will be essentially stock looking, other than lowering and polished American 14 and 15"ers, and a built smallblock (it's getting the 260 from the convertible to start with to replqace teh stock 6 cyl, then a warmed over 289 when it's finished). The convert will be heavily customized...

My first car was a '62 Comet, way back in '78...



I wish there was a way of safely shipping the trim from MD back to you, as I'm not going to use any of the trim on the convertible...

 

I have too comets, one a 1964 comet wagon and a 65 comet cyclone and I am the pres of comet west out in California and there is a Comet east club

here is a link to all the part you need for a comet club

my friend 63 comet has a 351 in it, wow look cool too a nice sleeper

 

5000 bucks? did that include the lift kit?

 

Heres the one I just sold to my buddy....It has only 28k orig. miles on it. She is a true beauty queen 4 sure! So then I had to go and "F" it all up and gave er the slammy jammy and a flowmaster into bellflowers, then flaked the roof......shes a show stopper now! (theese are without the bells on)

 

Ok I seen a lot of comet and this is the best I seen so far, cool ride

jc

 

Thanks, it looks even better with the bellflowers on and its about 3in. lower now too! Ill snap some pics next time I see him! Thanks!

 

Can I please be your daughter? Only the coolest dad on earth would buy his daughter a car like that!

 

I picked up a running 63 4dr for $150 about a month ago. Should have it driveable pretty soon.

 

Can I play, even though I'm on the wrong side of the pond??

I really like the look of the White with Red roof on the one cfish50chevy posted, maybe when it comes to re-spray time...........
Are those the stock 13" rims, I haven't lowered mine yet and the rims look REALLY small!

 

Same here about the white with the red roof. I think I'm going to spray mine similar to that when the time comes.

 

..i just picked up a 63 comet 2door post last weekend !!,,gonna either staight axle the bitch,,or toss some fake on the roof and add bellflowers,,.. i will post a pick tomarrow..

 

I second the Comet-List. Been on it for a couple of years now. If I can only get my 66 Cyclone to look as good as that 63 of yours, your daughter's. Shame that it got wrecked. Sure glad you didn't let the insurance company push you over. I seen to many good old cars junked that way. Post on that Comet List; there's a good turn out of folks on the East Coast as well and somebody might have that part you need.

Good luck,

 

My '63 Custom convertible in Cambridge England... Bought in Hermosa Beach CA 2004... driven across USA on Rt 66 to Chicago and shipped home. We're off to the Old Style Weekend in Sweden in August (2,000 mile round trip...)

 

More pics please. Most of these look stock. I've always like the 64's, but I have a chance to pick up a real solid (non running) 62 coupe for under a grand.
To me it doesn't have the pizzazz of the 64's, and I'd like it to have the "attitude" I remember from the 64 "caliente's"
Anyone got 62 pics that look a little more menacing?

 

Good God Kev.... Where are ya goin tokeep this one....Ain't you outta space yet!!!!?????

 

I wish I had the money to keep every car that I find but I thought I would add this '64 to your thread. It will be for sale when I bring it home later this week. The other Comet is a 4 door.

 

Did u have any contacts for back corner trim pc?
