Most times when somebody modifies an older car, they go all the way – drivetrain, suspension, interior, body, the works. It appears that the owner of this 1962 Mercury Comet S-22 for sale on Hemmings.com decided it needed a V-8 (Comets weren’t available with a V-8 in 1962) and corresponding improved brakes, but then decided to leave it looking stock, turning it into quite the sleeper. From the seller’s description:

Rare S22, 1962 Mercury Comet. Mustang V-8 302, disc brakes, B&M floor shifter, all front-end suspension parts replaced, stock rear end, heater core replaced, interior restored, carpets replaced & 5 seat belts added. Very clean & unique ride.
