1973 mercury comet - lithia springs, gastreetside classicslithia springs, ga 30122ph: 8773671835web: www. Maybe it's time to have a closer look at the comet. The comet's lines have aged rather well, with the new-fastback profile accentuating the long hood and short deck theme that created the mustang. No, but go find another one that's led an easy life like this one has. It hasn't been modified and it didn't require major surgery to get back into shape, and while there are a few signs of use, the overall look is pretty darned nice. We like the white pinstripe that highlights the gentle curve of the fenders and they didn't shave or delete any of the original trim. There's a very clean, straight grille up front, correct 'comet' script on the sail panels, and blacked-out bumpers for an updated look. Believe us, this car will definitely get its share of second glances. The interior is in excellent condition and if we had to guess, we'd say that the seat covers and carpets are new, but everything else may very well be original. It's basic, yes, but that's part of the appeal with cars like this, and a few minor upgrades make a big difference. There's a fat wood-rimmed steering wheel, for example, which adds a sporty look without changing the overall vibe. Remarkably, the original am radio remains in the dash, and in 1973, that was standard fare in the comet, along with a heater and defroster and little else. The back seat is in excellent condition and is roomy enough for real-sized adults and there's a nice, big trunk that looks to be in excellent order. There are plenty of upgrades from its humble 1973 specifications, including a 4-barrel carburetor, so it's potent without being fussy. It's nicely detailed under the hood, too, including the finned valve covers and matching air cleaner, as well as bright ford blue paint on the block, giving it a very correct look. It's backed by a c4 3-speed automatic transmission and original 8-inch rear end, so the components are rugged enough to put up with some fun, and the cackling flowmaster dual exhaust definitely has that ford 5. 0 performance sound. The floors show off years in a warm climate and the late-mo.
