Mercury Comet.....Built FORD TOUGH!!!


Recommended Posts

Great story.......

 

Good thing she didn't get my Dads 64 "Comet"........

 

That Lemon Frustrated my Dad for only 4 years before he got rid of it........

 

Every time my Dad hears the word "VOMET", we think of that car..... :barf:

Ford likes anybody that buys their cars.........Even extreme Conservative Waccos

Named "Shelby Dude"........... :hysterical:

 

 

Ford loves conservatives! Never had a problem with all the Fords I've owned and I've owned a lot of them!

 

Come to think of it, now that I reflect on this, seems the only time I ever seen someone with a problem, it was a liberal driving it! :hysterical:

I have also owned only Fords and have never got a Lemon............

 

But my Dad was feeling over"Conservative" and "Cheap" the day he picked out the "VOMET".....

She bought that car new in 1964 and paid $3,200

 

My parents bought a 1972 Grand Torino Sport brand new and paid $3,200 for that.

 

Look how much prices have remained stable from the early 60's through the 70's and look how much they have jumped up since!

Granny is 89, she is original owner and has 540,000 miles on her car and going strong! Her baby out lasted 3 husbands!

 

Nice find ShebyDude, '64 Comet is big brother to 64-1/2 Mustang, we have a couple that have lots of miles & smiles between them :speedie:

I've got a 63 Mercury Meteor which is built on the same frame size as the Comet, it still has the 221 V8 in it and is still running fine. It was funny because last weekend we had a car show in town and we took the SGT and my wife's 05 customized Mustang and the Mercury. I had 70k worth of Mustangs and and guess who won a trophy..........the 2k Mercury Meteor, I have more fun with that car!

That's cool. My mom had a '61 Comet, white w/ red/white interior, purchased new. We had that car for 8 years I think.
