1963 Comet A/C

[classiccomet]

Hi,

I'm Will and I'm new here. I just bought a 1963 Comet Custom sedan with less than 45,000 original miles. It's in great condition, all original, and a true survivor! I am debating putting a/c in the car (and have the option to buy an original one out of a '64). Would this be recommended? Would it detract from the car's value to have a factory a/c from a '64 in it? Help!

PUT ac in there,I don't see any value being lost what so ever,I would think it would bring a few dollars more if you was to sell it,by having air..as far as a 64 unit -it don't matter always keep the thought,,it's my car and I'm gonna do it my way,make it enjoyable for me to own and drive...with that being said------WELCOME to a great site,we're glad your here ,if you need any thing just ask ,LOTS of good smart folks waiting and wanting to help you...... pop

Thank you so much!

Take all you can from that 64. Remember that the a/c system has the hang on evaporator/bracket as well as the compressor and mount bracket/hardware. Take all the lines and grommets/clamps, filter and condensor. Even if the parts are bad they will be useful for comparison for new parts.
Is it a 260 in your car or 6?

Welcome!

Sadly, the previous owners removed the a/c unit from the interior only, but at least it's a start. Their '64 has been gone for a while.

My car has the 170 cu.in. 6 cylinder. Mercury said it was 101-hp, it's pretty good for what it is. I know Mercury also offered a 144 cu. in with 85-hp... Does anyone have one? Thoughts?

Hi Stephen
I am just getting ready to get my Comet unpacked so will be following this thread
as well.
What persentage did you need to enlarge the plan from the book to make it 1:6 scale.
It would be very useful if you know.

after how much time do I need to consider changing my childrens shoes for new ones? I have noticed the kids ruin the shoes in a matter of days and I know this should not be happening thus prompting me to ask for advice. Are there any special shoes I could get that will last longer?

[popscomet]

Children learn by EXAMBLE,,,look at your self before you get down on the kid.....pop

I were boots so problem sovled.

Classic, welcome to the forum, as far as A/C it would make it more enjoyable for most so as Pop mentioned might add a dime to it if you ever sell it. It could be a detractor in a muscle car for some but as the crowd buying/owning them gets older we are appreciating A/C more. I still prefer not at this point but my wife rather drive something else in the summer for that reason. Not sure how much it is gonna lug the engine down but you can always just use it at high speeds. Stick around alot to learn here.

I'm going to recommend that you call classic air and see what they can do for you. I have been very happy with their products and especially their service.
