Vehicle Original VIN : 4H25F501045 Spectacular 1964 Comet Cyclone “could have been” convertible. Rotisserie restoration, 260 cubic inch V8, 4-speed, front disc brakes, power steering, and more. Very accurate with many impossible-to-find parts. Fast, fun convertible in incredible condition. Mercury didn’t build any Cyclone convertibles in 1964 but that didn’t stop the guy who built this one from creating a car that could have been built by the factory. Using all the right parts, including the snorkel hood and correct stainless moldings and emblems, it’s a very accurate representation of what you could have bought in the Mercury showroom had they decided to build such an animal. And the result is simply beautiful. The bodywork is laser straight, the gaps are excellent throughout, and all the stainless trim was professionally straightened and polished. For an inexpensive car when it was new, someone lavished a ton of time and money on it today. The Comet has a unique look, distinct from both its Falcon cousin and the Mustang with which it shares a platform, and somehow it looks bigger and more substantial than either of them. Perhaps it’s the ornate grille that mirrors the bigger Mercurys or perhaps it’s the vestigial tail fins out back. Either way, this is a great-looking car from any angle. All the brightwork was fully restored, including the tail panel that’s one of the more challenging pieces to refinish, and all the emblems and trim are NOS because there are no repro parts for these cars. Not only was the restorer a craftsman, he did his homework when putting it together. The white interior is a great contrast to the black bodywork and it’s a smart choice in a convertible that’s going to be out in the sun. A bit more upscale than the Falcon, this Comet has the Cyclone’s bucket seats and center console.
