A very original Southern California car with one repaint and one owner since new, this Mercury represents the performance standard for the time. Showing only 27,000 original miles there is a huge stack of paperwork and receipts to back up this claim. There is so much documentation for this car its too much to list but does include: the original California "pink slip", temporary registration, consumer information guide, window sticker addendum, owners manual, business card from selling dealer and miscellaneous Ford Motor Co. recall notices. Purchased new on May 29, 1977 by MS. Lucille Perkins she was able to keep very accurate maintenance records and recipts throughout her entire ownership. This Mercury is equipped with all its original drivetrain and rust free body panels as well as the following factory options: hi-output 302 V8 engine available in the Comet only, XP automatic transmission, 2.79:1 rear axle, power steering, power disc brakes, air conditioning, medium blue bucket seats, vinyl top and rally wheels. All of the factory applied ink dabs and decals are still in place as are the original "blue and gold" California license plates. Everything works on this Comet as it should and it drives superbly. A great opportunity to own and experience one of the most overlooked performance vehicles of the mid 70's. Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to become the second owner ever of this rare and unique Mercury.
