So the other day I'm browsing ebay just looking around to see what they have for my old 65 comet and I ran across this...

I only paid 32.50 for it  and as I see it, it is totally worth the little bit of money now to have an original key as all of the keys I have for my comet now are just copied ones...

Thats neat, I would have bought it too.  Especially since it is such a unquie looking original key.  Just some advice though, when you go to have it cut to fit your car-take it to be done at a locksmith to make sure its done right.

I wish my car had a cool looking original key like that.  But, it doesn't.   

lol, thanks for the advice richie, I'm actually planning on havng my dad take it in to where he works where there are a few people that actually teach practices such as cuttting keys, picking locks and a variety of other things I probably shouldn't discuss online.

And yes Willit, my grandpa bought it as a project car a long time ago now and was in the process of restoring it to give to me when I graduated from college...unfortunately he passed away and I'm stuck working on it But it gives me something to do

a little background once again:
1965 Mercury Comet Caliente
289 V8 2bbl
4 - stock automatic tranny
AM radio no fm
but it does have power steering and power brakes

Tis my plan

I hope we'er on the same page. I owned while in the Air Force a 71 Mercury Comet. I miss her terrible. She was Canary Yellow. She had a 305 bored 40 over. Oversized pistons,clutch,C4 trannie with the speed shifter on the colume. A Paxton supersharger,blower scoop, air ride adjustable rear end, and she was very loud. When I would fire her up in the morning heading for the hanger you could hear it a qtr mile down the road. she was idled so low she sounded like a drag car about to stall out. Chrome Kragers.......Ahhhhhhhhhhhh....Man I miss her so.... Had I kept her I wanted to paint her gunmetal grey and toss two K-40 whip antennas on her trunk for my CB and Scanner. As the Comet/Ford Maverick were simular in body they alwas looked like a big RC car to me. The antennas would of been a nice touch . Alas she got to expensive to maintain so I sold her back to the guy I bought it from.   Ah memories.........................
