1963 Mercury Comet S-22 Convertible

Motorcar Studio is pleased to offer this 1963 Mercury Comet S-22 Convertible. This Comet was restored under present ownership in 2009-2010 and presents to a very nice driver standard throughout. Well optioned with power steering, power brakes, power top and a 302 cubic inch V8 mated to an overdrive automatic transmission. Long-term California black plate car; very solid underneath with original floors and rockers. Attractively presented in two-tone blue and while. Classic 14-inch Cragar S/S wheels are wearing radial tires. Bumpers, grille, trim, glass and those cool taillight housings remain in very good condition.

Interior was restored at the same time and presents well with only light patina; seat upholstery still looks nearly new. All gauges and lights are working except for the odometer (speedometer works fine). The original AM radio is still present but inoperative. The power convertible top mechanism works property; the top itself in in good condition with only one small tear less than an inch long. All four windows work, but the rears need a little help up and down.

This was always V8 car but the owner upgraded the original 260 to a 302, which was fully rebuilt (with records) in 2017. It's mated to an AOD automatic transmission with overdrive. This drivetrain transforms the car into one that can comfortably cruise at modern highway speeds. Equipped with power steering and power brakes -- with the power options plus the V8 and overdrive automatic, it's easy to handle around town and on the highway. We estimate fewer than 2,000 miles on the rebuilt engine.

The present owner moved from California to South Carolina in 2018, where this car has been garaged since. Included with the sale are complete records documenting the restoration, engine rebuild, and all service since 2009. Starts easily and runs and drives well -- the 302 is both smooth and strong.
