I didnt mean low as down grade the car ,I meant i bought it very cheap here they were selling $200-300 ea around 350 for conv .i really liked driving them ,i had several ,wish I could find one now ,but in this area now an average one sells $5000-$6000 I kept mine after i bought a 64 mustang ,buying , repairing and reselling cars was how i made money while in school ,I guess thats why i opened my dealership for 20years later ,Retired now still cannot get away from buying

You beat my hint by 4 minutes, LOL

Yes it was the Ford Thunderbolt's cousin Mercury's Comet Countdown 3 ( what a lousy name! ) They only produced 21 of these little wonders. All with 427's, all with 4 speeds. Al built by Dearborn Steel Tubing.

I guess it's yours Jester if you want it.
