Marc's 1963 Mercury Comet Convertible Home Page

Welcome to my Comet site. I purchased this 1963 Mercury Comet Custom Convertible in August 2000. The original 170 cubic inch engine was replaced with a 250 six from a 69 Falcon and the original 2 speed transmission was swapped out for a C4 three speed. In 2005 I rebuilt the engine and transmission and upgraded to front disc brakes in 2007. I also acquired a 2nd Comet in April 08- this one is a 1963 4 Door Sedan with a 260 V8 engine- check out the Blue Comet link below.
