Up for sale is a beautiful 1961 Mercury Comet, the perfect car for cruising with the windows down. Originally conceived as the more sophisticated cousin of the Ford Falcon, this car is inspiring from any angle with cat-eye tail fins in the rear accentuating the scene stealing two-tone paint job and long rear trunk area. Powering this ride is the reliable 144 cubic inch Thrift-Power inline-6 mated to a Cruise-o-Matic 2-speed transmission for smooth and easy weekend rides. Considered a "compact" car in the early 60's, the interior is surprisingly roomy for 6 adults with the included bench seats. There are many new or newer parts on this car, from the full exhaust system, distributor, filters, rear bumper, and all the interior finishing. Brand new Coker white wall tires wrap the original steel wheels with chrome dog-dish hub caps. Inside you'll find two-tone vinyl seating to compliment the exterior look and a fully functional instrument cluster. This is a truly rare car, you don't see many of these on the road anymore unlike other classics, so you're sure to turn heads and get compliments everywhere you go. It's a clean and reliable car for some weekend cruising and head turns in it's current condition, or a great base for a full on restoration project should you choose to go that route. Either way, you will not regret adding this car to your collection!
