1964 Comet Gasser

Description for Mercury Comet 1964

The motor was built on a 1971 460 block, with 1973 heads, an Edelbrock performance kit cam, carburetors, Mallory ignition with billet distributor, external oil pump and dry sump oil system, cool can, Headerman full length headers, new exhaust, new timing chain and gears, and, and many other new parts. We do not know the exact internal specifications of the motor as this vehicle came from an estate sale. The build is very recent, very expensive, and very well done.
The transmission is a C6 automatic with Lightening Rod shifters, a B&M shift kit, and a B&M high volume pan that pushes power through an 8.8 posi-traction rear axle with 327 gears. The front axle was rebuilt and has new king pins.
An addition, the car has period correct ladder bars, traction bars, line lockers, and front disc brakes for traction and stopping power.
The body is very straight, and has zero rust or rot. The body includes a fiberglass hood, doors, fenders, trunk lid, and lower rear quarter panels. The paint shows very well from a few feet away, but there are imperfections in the paint work on the car. There are some drips and runs in the paint. It needs finishing sanding, buffing, and a few areas touched up.
While the build is not complete, the vast majority of what is needed to complete the car is included in the sale.

There is a clean title in hand. The title is not a "True Mileage Unknown" title. the title states 56,922 miles with the title issue date of 5/26/2017. The odometer has been removed from the car, so we do not have the exact mileage.
