I haven't actually got to drive the Comet yet it's in restoration. The reason I chose to purchase the mercury comet is because i am obsessed with cars especially classics. The comet is not be the ultimate classic car that I'd like to own, but it sure has grown on me alot....and I get to put my own personal taste to it..

Very stylish inside and out. Condition still a little rough--restoration in progress. As built, braking and handling inadequate by today's standards. Acceleration from 260 v8 okay but nothing spectacular. Fuel economy 20 mpg highway, great for 1963. Parts have been added to improve handling and braking--sub frame connectors, export brace and Monte Carlo bar (To reduce unwanted flexing of the car's unibody construction, improving the handling). Also the front brakes have been converted from drum to disc. The fun factor is high because you can roll down all the windows and there is no post between the door and the rear quarter window area, almost like a convertible. The original AM radio works great. A stereo with MP3 input and CD player is also mounted below the center dash.

Comfortable, fun drive for adventures and leisurely drives...good on gas...need to be mindful of braking...best on a lovely, summer night ...really nice on a seaside cruise...love to go to Drive-In Movies (need a boom box though...only AM radio:)

I bought this as a gift for myself as I was shipping out to Iraq. It sat for over 1.5 years and when I got back was able to drive it for about 6 months before I found out that the transmission had blown out both seals. I am currently in the process of rat-rodding this car. Most of the sheet metal is rusted through or bondo'd. Luckily the frame is really good shape.
