1966 MERCURY COMET SPORT COUPE RESTORED 99-302 ROLLER WITH BUILT C4

Description for Mercury Comet 1966

WE ARE VERY HAPPY TO PRESENT A RARE 1966 MERCURY COMET 2 DOOR SEDAN. THE FACTORY DESIGNATION FOR THIS BUCKET SEAT 2 DOOR IS "SPORT COUPE". AS MANY OF YOU KNOW 1966 IS A ONE OFF YEAR FOR THE COMET. NOTHING ON THE COMET AS FAR AS BODY AND INTERIOR ARE INTERCHANGEABLE WITH THE FAIRLANES. IF THE PARTS ARE NOT ALREADY ON THE 66, GOOD LUCK FINDING THEM!WE SPENT MONTHS LOOKING FOR QUALITY EMBLEMS AND ITEMS LIKE AN OEM DASH PAD THAT IS AS NEAR PERFECT AS POSSIBLE. EVEN THE STEERING WHEEL POPPED UP IN A VERY UNLIKELY PLACE. WE DROVE 550 MILES FOR THE HEADLIGHT RINGS AND GRILL CORNERS. THE FLOOR PANS WERE AVAILABLE ONLINE AS WAS THE NEW FUEL TANK BUT EVERYTHING ELSE WAS LIKE A TREASURE HUNT. IT STILL NEEDS A DOME LIGHT LENSE BUT THE DOME LIGHT WORKS. THE HEADLINER IS ALL THERE BUT NEEDS A BETTER TOUCH THAN MINE TO MAKE IT TOP DRAWER.THE BODY IS ACTUALLY VERY GOOD AND THE TINY PINHOLES AT THE REAR FENDER WELL WERE FILLED AND FIXED. THERE WAS NO RUST ON THE FENDER LIPS OR ROCKERS.THE 302 IS A REBUILT ROLLER MOTOR FROM A 1999 EXPLORER. THERE IS 150 POUNDS COMPRESSION ON ALL EIGHT CYLINDERS. THE C4 AUTOMATIC WAS REBUILT BY THE SAME GUY. THE KICK DOWN ROD IS MISSING BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO PROBLEM WITH THE SHIFTING . IT HAS A FACTORY 3.00 REAR DIFFERENTIAL GEARING AND A NEW DRIVELINE. BRAKES, WHEEL CYLINDERS, DRUMS, FUEL LINES, TANK, AND COIL OVER SHOCKS. THE FRONT SUSPENSION IS DROPPED AN INCH. WE WERE ABLE TO USE 235-70r15 TIRES WITH BRAND NEW MAGNUM 500 MERCURY 15X7 WHEELS FROM WEST COAST COUGAR. THERE IS A JACK BUT NO SPARE AS OF YET. I'LL PROBABLY GET A STOCK STEEL WHEEL AND PLACE A HUBCAP ON IT FOR A SPARE. THE TRUNK AND FLOOR PANS ARE RAPTOR LINED IN TINTABLE WIMBLEDON WHITE. ALL NEW SHEET METAL WAS ETCH PRIMED BEFORE COATING. ALL IN ALL IT'S A VERY NICE COMET. THE COMET SAT FOR MANY YEARS AND THEN FOUND REDEMPTION IN OREGON. WE INSTALLED A NEW BATTERY, CABLES, VOLTAGE REGULATOR, ALTERNATOR, COIL, IGNITOR II IGNITION, DIST CAP, ROTOR, WIRES, PLUGS, HOLLEY DP 650 CARB, AIR CLEANER FROM FORD MOTORSPORTS, BELTS, HOSES, MED RISE ALUMINUM INTAKE, HEADERS, STARTER, DUAL FLOWMASTER EXHAUST WITH ALUMINIZED PIPES, SHOCKS, AND BRAKES.DISCLAIMERS: THE COMET IS SOLD "AS IS" AND "WHERE IS".
