I need some technicat data of Mercury Comet (4 doors 1971) - Weight - Lenght - Width - Height - CP/rpm (straight 6 4.2l) - maximum speed - fuel consumption - catalog (market) price for a very good car (58 tkm, original paint)
This person has emailed me a couple of times. I don't have the info for a 4-door. So...could somebody please be kind enough to help him out? Thanks
Here are some specs to help you. wheelbase= 109.9" Overall length= 192.4" Overall width= 70.5" Tread width= 56.5" Fuel capacity= 15 gal. Engine=250 inline six at 145 hp @4000 rpm, torque= 232lb/feet at 1600 rpm. Luggage capacity= 10 cu ft. Comments: Top speed would depend on the rear gear ratio, tire size and other conditions. Calculation shows, based on a rear gear of 2.79 and the hp peak of 4000 rpm, the speed would be 107 and would most likely could go some small amount higher. Height would be influenced by tire size, spring conditions, options like A/C etc. Fuel consumption on these cars is hard to pin down but a car in top tune could be in the area of 16 +/- depending on driving habit and conditions. Others on this forum will be able to give you a close overall height and weight for their cars. Value is also a hard item to set because this car is not a make with high visability as compaerd to a Mustang for instance. Pretty much in the buyer eye for price and area of the country. Sight un seen guess would be anywhere between 1200 and 1800 for a very nice car that needs little repair for someone who needs a car for general use. Example, I have a chance to buy an original Grabber with 93k , nice interior but needs the usual lower body repair and with a 302 engine for about 1500. It is presently an inspected driver and has neve been modified in any way, but this example has a bit of a different slant, being a 302,GRABBER coupe and is a higher desireability car even with the body work needs. Hope iv'e helped you get a feel for your situation.
Bogdon, I apoligize for using many numbers without there designations. I assumed you were state side or? I should have known when seeing the plate and your discriptions. The weight of the car would be the area of 3100 pounds +/-. Good luck and welcome to the forum. Ken.
