For Sale: 1963 Mercury Comet

1964 Ford Thunderbird Coupe – It wasn’t that long ago completing a non-original restoration was really frowned upon. Today the majority of buyers are seeking a unique classic that offers the ride and modern conveniences of a newer vehicle. So while Ford produced several Thunderbirds in 1964, finding one 56 years later that can hold its own on the highway is a rare find. That driving experience is what the previous owner had int mind when he poured over $55k into a rotisserie restoration of his beloved T-Bird! Receipts and photos that document this 2013 build will accompany the sale. As you will see in the photos and description below, this Thunderbird is nicer than any other you will find on the market for only $34k. A complete list of features and options include; rebuilt original 390 FE V8, FMX Automatic, Vintage A/C, Tilt-Away Steering, Power Steering, 4 Wheel Power Disc Brakes, Custom Headers & Exhaust, New Interior, Center Console Storage, Chrome Grille, Chrome Bumper, Factory Radio, 20″ Foose Wheels, and New Lexani 245/35/ZR20 Tires! The underside is as clean as the rest and this Ford has only seen 750 miles of asphalt since completion. If you are looking to add an extremely nice ’64 Coupe to your garage, your search is over!

Up until 1955, Rolls-Royce relied exclusively upon coachbuilders to produced the bodies of their cars. Chassis, complete with functional drivetrains and grilles, would leave the Rolls-Royce factory to be built into custom works of art tailored to clientele’ needs. Unfortunately, this vehicle production method was prohibitively expensive and was largely falling out of favor by the beginning of the 1950s. That mindset shifted with the introduction of the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II, a new steel-bodied sedan produced in conjunction with Bentley and powered by a brand-new 6.2-liter aluminum V8. However, Rolls-Royce would not wholly abandon the art of coachbuilding. Select models of their new Silver Cloud II, such as the drophead coupe and alloy-bodied cars, were constructed by the artisans at Mulliner Park Ward, James Young, and Hooper.

This 1962 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud II is a rare Mulliner Park Ward drophead coupe, one of only 75 left-hand-drive examples ever constructed. It was ordered as an American-specification vehicle for Debbie Reynolds and her husband, Harry Karl, in 1961, at which time it was fitted with bespoke Lucas P100 headlights for a classic Phantom look. So striking was the conversion that it caught the eye of Lucille Ball, a close friend of Reynolds and the star of I Love Lucy. The Silver Cloud was subsequently sold to Ball’s production company, Desilu Productions, during which time it could be seen driving around Hollywood with both Lucille and her son, Desi. A full restoration was commissioned in 1995 with work completed by Richard Gorman, a Rolls-Royce specialist, and proprietor or Vantage Motor Works. At this time, the original Porcelain White paint over Scarlet leather color combination was changed in favor of the Velvet Green over Biscuit leather that remains on the car to this day. It is a beautiful and quintessentially Rolls-Royce pairing that perfectly suits the lines of this Silver Cloud. The vehicle is in top mechanical condition and drives very well. For the Rolls-Royce enthusiast, few cars carry the same provenance. This rare, turn-key example is equally prepared for a Sunday drive or a showing on the Concours lawn.

This is an unrestored, well maintained car that is a true survivor. It is not flawless and has some scratches, minor dings and wear.

I have installed a new set of Ridler 17” wheels and Falken tires to give it a pro touring look. Other than that, I added a hidden AM to FM converter to allow us to listen to radio. Every thing else is original and it comes with the original wheels, tires and hubcaps. The original tires have been well kept over the years. They have little wear and very little cracking.

The car is currently in heated storage and is accessible.

Feel free to ask questions and further pictures can be available upon serious request.
