1966 Mercury Comet Capri

Post by junkyard junky on December 25th 2009, 11:57 am

66 Comet 4dr with a 289 V8 and auto trans. Car runs and drives on its own. Tires are dry rotten. Radio still works. Car sat for 12 years. Solid car. I couldn't see any major rust issues. Core support and shock towers are solid. Right front door is bent down at the bottom. Looks like the car slid into something. One of the back seat belts still has the plastic cover from the factory. I will also get all the parts for a tune up (condensor, points, rotor button, coil, plugs, plug wires, dist cap, etc) Clear title. $2500 . I'll try to get more pics.

New Parts:
front wheel cylinders
rear wheel cylinders
front brake shoes
Rear brake shoes
Gas tank
Sending Unit
Lower radiator hose
Fuel pump
Fuel Filter
Alternator
Front Hoses
Air Filter

Other:
All four drums turned

A little soap and water goes a long way.
