This 1964 Mercury Comet 404 is a beautiful survivor that is a 2 owner automobile. Appearing in like new condition, it is easy to believe that this Comet has only covered 37,384 miles. Needing nothing other than a new home, we appreciate the crisp styling, and its wonderful originality. The owner has priced this Comet very advantageously at $4,800. Find it here on craigslist out of Pekin, Illinois.
Taking a peek under the hood reveals the original 200 cubic inch inline 6. Perhaps not the quickest power plant, but with it being coupled to an automatic transmission, this Comet is certainly a comfortable cruiser. Examining the engine and bay reveals some minor rust developing under the paint. But overall, the engine bay is acceptable.
The interior is gorgeous on this Mercury! Appearing original and flawless, this thing is a real gem inside. The black on red color combo is sharp and classy, and the red is just simply vibrant with no signs of aging. The door jamb looks a little dirty, and perhaps even mildly peppered with some surface rust. Difficult to say.
Moving to the exterior reveals a beautiful luster and shine. There is no apparent rust of any kind on the exterior of this Mercury, and the chrome is flawless as well. The black paint looks to be very nice, with no obvious signs of damage. The exterior trim and badging is all accounted for, and even the factory hubcaps are in god shape with no dents, rash, or rust.
Needing nothing, this great condition Mercury will make a great cruiser. Would you bring home this Mercury Comet survivor?
