Nice clean original car with a 144ci 6-banger and a stick. Feels like a decent deal for $2800.

I think this would make an unreal sleeper. A good friend had a '65 stock appearing Comet with a 347 and 5-speed Tremec...low 11-second car that you'd never expect.

Really digging the mini console between the front seats too...neat touch.

Kind of has that Thunderbird look. Don't know if a 427 would fit, but possibly a 408 stroker, Tremec, and 9 inch would make a nice sleeper.
