Join now!!..63 Mercury Comet club.

Someone gave it to me for free so I decided to fix it up for my daughter.............Before.......

 

And after..........after about five thousand bucks!!

 

NO MORE MR. Lowbucks for YOU!!!

 

KIWI Nice looking work. My first car was a 62 comet.

 

nice....you got me missing my 61....at least I still got my 65 haha

 

Cool, Kev...I see threads here tonight about starting a HAMB duece club and even a model-60 [33-34 ford] club. I think the comet club is appropriate too Can I join? I don't have a comet but I have this white astro van....it's kinda like a comet and I'm so jazzed to be in your club with all the other clubs!!!! Oh golly!
{squirt}

 

Can a lowly '61 "cateye" Comet be in the club?

 

Astro vans are OK but no 32,33,34 Fords!.....and that five grand was spread out over a couple of years!

 

Awesome Kev my wifes 61 is cool also.

 

here were mine...








amazing what pulling the coils adding 6 inches worth of block and pulling three leaves will do huh..and she still wasn't low enough..and yes..that was mockup..but I sold her before I started

 

Got a friend with a 64 Comet wagon. Would it qualify with a late
63 build date???

 

Comets are COOOOL ! . I want one ,a '61 thru '63 two door coupe.

 

One star!! What an insult, Who did that? I bet it was Larry!!

 

The rear's got 6-inch blocks and 3 leaves taken out? I'd think it'd be lower. What were you gonna do for the official lowering? I wanna drop mine in the back.

Thanks,
Kurt

ps: 1-star Larry

 

Going today to complete the trade for the 62 Comet 2dr . I'll try to get pics up this afternoon. wish me luck!

 

Hey I sent you a PM on one for sale locally.

 

BUSTED...I know of one over in JAX for sale too!
Depending on which coast of the alley you are on?

 

Got it , 62 comet 144, 6 nutter and a merc o matic Thre car is very nice and solid , survived the trip from Ormand beach Back to Port St Lucie . Nothing makes ya happier than a shakdown of 180 miles , with only a slipping gen belt killing the battery , at least it was after I stopped for beer!( 2 miles from home! Maybe I shoulda paid attention when the GEN light flickered a few times.

 

I've got the Claiente trunk trim piece that I took off my wife's old car, would sell it for '32 Ford funds.

 

Speaking of trim, I need RH quarter panel trim for my daughters Comet as the car was waisted since the above pics. Some chick in an SUV changed lanes without looking and drove my daughter off the road ind into a tall curb that folded the right front wheel under the car bending the frame in the process and took out the quarter panel on a telephone pole, ripping the rear bumper off . So after a battle with the insurance company In finally got a decent payment and have been fixing it over the last year. It has really taken alot of time from my othe projects but after all the work I put into that thing I wasn't about to let it go. Anyone have RH quarter panel trim?

 

Wool where are the pics?

Thanks,
Kurt

 

wow that ****s

my 61

 

yeah..that was 6 inches of block and three leaves out of it in back-even the shocks were gone..the front was sitting on the bumps...I thought it's be lower too..but I had to take the blocks out to take the tires off it to free up the stuck drums, and she didn't turn very much either-..and them when we loaded it on the trailer she kept gettin stuck on the rockers and she dragged the bumper from the time the front tires were about a quarter up the ramps till she was on..haha...what a pain in the *** to load..but I couldn't let her go down the highway not looking cool right...


My plans included a early 60's custom build...hydros at all 4 corners on prolly a four link in back...I was gonna flake it, shave the towers and throw a y block or FE in it...supremes or radirs..skinny whites..mild custom touches...one wild plan had sAustrailian falcon steering in it so Its be right hand drive..haha..my brain is scary when its left to wander...but I sold it due to needing some funds to live on...its a shame too..I miss her

 

DAMMIT!
KIWI check hemmings motor news. There is a guy down in Dago that has the trim. The HMN also lists a junk yard in arizona. They have the quarters etc.

 

SOCALPETE...........Thanks, that'll be my next move.

 

...nope...wasn't me that gave you one star, I like Comets...wait, did I just say that outloud?

 

What a shame! Did you end up with a salvage ***le?
- Joe

 

I got them to let me keep the ***le and pay up enough money to cover the repairs, at first they said it was totalled and offered $2,000. I wrote a couple of letters proving actual value with cl***ified ads etc and they came around.

 

3 Stars, cool.
