Charles Bukowski drove a Mercury Comet, so the Mercury-branded Falcon gets additional coolness points right there. The problem with the Comet, though, was that it wasn't so good off-road... until now! Now this gentleman in the California high desert city of Victorville has solved that problem for us, by transplanting a '64 Comet body onto a '67 Bronco chassis. You get a 289 and 3-speed manual, and all for just $3,000 asking! Thanks to prolific tipster and Saab racer LTDScott for yet another Jalopcentric tip! [Race-Dezert.com]
