1964 Mercury Comet Cyclone on 2040-cars

This is a very rare 1964 Mercury Comet Cyclone two door hardtop.  Pacific Blue with white interior which were both original colors of the car.  It has the 289 K code engine with a C4 automatic transmission.    Restoration was done approximately 15 years ago.  The interior was reupholstered with the original color and the vinyl matches the original pattern.  This included the seats, doors, and headliner.  The door and trunk gaskets were also replaced.  All of the glass is good and windows roll up and down.

  Added to the engine is an Eldelbrock intake, and a Ford dual point distributor.  The original radiator had been replaced with a 3/core.   I also have the original parts that were taken off of the engine that will go with the car, including distributor, intake, valve covers, etc…(I do not have the original radiator).  Everything pictured will go with the car, including the original steel rims and stainless hubcaps, the set of rally wheels and tires, and the mag wheels that are currently on the car.

The car is a very nice driver, is very clean and has been well maintained.  Carpet is clean and chrome bumpers are very nice.  All of the gauges work except the temp gauge which has been replaced with an aftermarket one.  Heater, AM radio and factory mounted dash tach all work.  The car is NOT perfect, it does have some scratches and nicks.  There are a few small bubbles around the wheel wells and some cracked paint where the rear bumper attaches to the car.  Underneath and frame of car are pretty clean.  There are a few areas that have showed some wear, but nothing at all major.  I actually wouldn’t even touch it.  Again, this car is a driver.

The car could use a tune up and probably a set of points.  It will also need an emergency brake cable.  The one that is on it has frozen up.  It does not have the windshield washer fluid bag or the pump.  It could also use a neutral safety switch.  You must make sure the car is in park or neutral every time that you start it.  I never had an issue with these things not being replaced, so that is up to you. 

For a 15 year old restoration, the car is extremely nice and very fun.  I can send more pics upon request.  If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.  I’m sure there are things that I am forgetting.  I encourage anyone to come look at the car if you are in the area.  The car is sold AS IS with no warranty.  I do reserve the right to end the auction at anytime.  Buyer pays for and arranges shipping.  A $500.00 down payment will be due within 24 hours of auction close with full payment being made 5 days after auction close.  Good Luck.
