Cool Old Machine: 1962 Mercury Comet


There is something supremely cool about a vintage Mercury Comet. It isn’t the fastest classic car around…with the stock 170 cubic inch inline-6 and automatic it is going to be downright slow…but car isn’t about reaching your destination, this car is about the experience of getting there. Find this 1962 Mercury Comet offered for $9800 in Huntington Beach, CA via craigslist.

Love the tow hitch!
Yeah, a little optimistic there if it’s for anything larger than a bike rack or utility trailer. Although the part that would scare me most about towing would be the brakes.
Sure looks nice.
Nah.what scares me is you might leave the rear end on the pavement as you accelerated!
Grandma’s car just begging for GT350 parts hidden underneath. Love this.
