Does anyone else out there have a 1970 Comet? I have a few Mavericks and just got a 1970 Comet? I need some advice and tips before I start working with this one! Thanks guys...
I didnt know they made a 70 Comet. The Comet (Maverick platform) didnt start untill 1971. Maby it's on the Torino platform. Got a picture?
Year of the Comet is NOT 1970 Wow guys - I took your advice and looked over the title for the Comet and realized I had typed it in wrong here at the forum. It is a 1960 not a 1970 - even earlier! Did Mercury make cars that early? Are there any early Comet photos out there anywhere that I could compare? Thanks Again!
Early Mercury's The Mercury line, I believe, started in 1939. Normally all the Merc's were clones of the Ford's. Your 1960 would resemble the Falcon with maybe a minor differance here and there. .They weighed anywhere from 2399 for the 2dr to 2581 for the 4dr wagon. Came with 144 cubic inch 6cyl engines--90bhp. In 61 you could also get a 170ci--101bhp. Price range in 60 was 1998.00 for the 2dr to 2385 for the 4dr wgn. There were 45000 2dr and 47000 4dr's made. A 2dr wagon is rare because only 5100 were produced. Don't suppose yours is one of those is it? Have a wonderful time with these classics no matter what.
