This 1965 second-generation Mercury Comet blends authentic heritage with a purposeful, road-legal drag racing presence. Originally built on Ford’s proven platform, it has retained its distinctive charm and character, enhanced by carefully hand-painted graphics and the natural patina of time. When new, this Comet was campaigned in stock class throughout the Southwest in its 289/225 hp configuration, establishing a proven competition pedigree. Its most recent engine build was completed in 2015 at the renowned SoCal Speed Shop by Jimmy Shine, whose signature remains on the dash.

With a compact yet wide frame that offers excellent stability, this Comet is built for straight-line performance and delivers it with ease. It reportedly handles well on the open road, runs cool, and maintains solid oil pressure, making it equally enjoyable for cruising or preserving as a piece of racing history. This is a car ready to be driven, appreciated, and kept for years to come.
Exterior and Interior

Reportedly still in its original White paint, the rest is all hand-painted graphics, tastefully done, working with the boxy design of its body panels. 14” American Racing wheels sit on the front, while 16” steel wheels adorn the rear with wider rubber. The stacked lights, angled lines, and strong stance create a striking image. You know this Comet is ready to talk business. Climbing inside, you’ll find yourself with a new red interior, complementing the white that adorns the outside. Careful attention to detail has been given to ensure that the aesthetic feel inside matches what is expressed the moment you look upon it. Red adorns the seats and dashboard, which retains its classic appearance but with a few additional gauges to monitor the health of the engine. No modern gadgets here. It’s all pure American engineering and kept pure to be driven as boldly as it presents itself. It’s classic, it’s expressive, and it’s bold.
