1965 comet 202 wagon 289 3 spd tree
I had a 65 comet 404 2dr sedan a while back and unfortunately had to sell it before I moved to Alaska. I recently moved back south to the lower 48 and have been on the hunt for a comet wagon. Well i found one, lost title, rusty floor boards, drivers side rear quarter and lower door jam. The interior is pretty rough also. The guy is asking $2500 for it... Is that too much? I sold my 42k mile 2dr 404 sedan for 2k that ran (200cid) and the interior was in great shape. I know they're unique. I've wanted a wagon for a long time and this one is already 5lug and has #matching 289 and 3 on the tree trans. Photos are too large.

From your description I think it's a little high. Wagons are tough to find though...reckon it depends on how much you want it!!
Re: 1965 comet 202 wagon 289 3 spd tree
Well they're worth what a person can get for them but ,65, 289 , pretty much 2500 in parts plus its a wagon.
Have to ask yourself are you willing to pay 10G for a clean one or put out the work to fix this this one.
Sounds like a good parts car to me.
Then you could look for a cleaner driver that is probably gonna be 6 powered and swap parts,,,
Thats my nickel(Canada doesnt have pennies )

I'm trying to get photo bucket to work right now so I can post pictures... I looked at it yesterday and its had better days but wagons are becoming hard to find. I found a 65 falcon wagon the next state over for 1750 but its a 6cyl and has a tad more rust i think. Fingers crossed him and I can come to a agreement.

Looks like it needs a LOT of HARD WORK! better have a look underneath, make sure the rear from rails aren't rotten, especially aroung the shackle mounts. There was a really nice one on facebook not long ago, for 8000 I believe. But from the looks of it you'd save money & work to get a better one.

The one poboyjo65 posted is a WAY better deal,,, if you got the cash.
That is unless someone told you " you can't fix that"
That statement always causes me SO MUCH WORK!!! LOL

I added myself to a few of the comet pages on facebook. The fact that this one is local and all original I may still grab it. It was a previous military use vehicle.
