VIN: 3H15U509968
1963 Mercury Comet two-door convertible finished in red with a white convertible top and black-and-white interior. Powered by an inline six-cylinder gasoline engine paired with an automatic transmission and column-mounted shifter.
This classic American convertible features the distinctive styling of the early 1960s, with sweeping body lines, chrome bumpers and trim, Comet badging, and a recognizable front grille and taillight design. The car retains much of its period character, including the factory-style dashboard, instrumentation, steering wheel, and black-and-white bench seating.
The odometer reads 76,321 miles; actual mileage is unknown.
The vehicle has been garage-stored for an extended period and offers an appealing restoration opportunity. The red exterior retains its chrome accents and trim, while the interior features two-tone upholstery, matching door panels, and period dashboard details. The convertible top remains installed.
The exterior shows fading, scratches, surface rust, and other age-related wear. The white convertible top has discoloration from storage, and the interior upholstery shows wear and staining. These areas provide opportunities for cosmetic restoration while preserving the car's classic appearance.
The vehicle is not currently running, and the last time it was operational is unknown. The engine has not been started or tested. Tires are flat, and the vehicle will require towing or trailer transport. Mechanical systems, including the engine, transmission, brakes, electrical components, and convertible top operation, have not been tested.
Included with the vehicle are a 1963 Mercury Comet owner's manual and a 1963 Falcon-Comet electrical assembly manual.
