Every now and then I am lucky enough to detail a historically significant vehicle.
The list of vehicles I have detailed include various vehicles for major celebrities and even a MBZ 770 that belonged to Adolf Hitler to name a few.
This past summer I was called to detail the “Endurance Run Comet.” This particular Comet was the lead car of four cars in the Lincoln Mercury Divisions Durability Run at Daytona International Speedway, which began September 21, 1963 and finished on October 30, 1963. It averaged 108.354 mph for 100,000 miles of continuous driving for 40 days and nights.
The Durability Run was under the strict sanction of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, the Automobile Competition Committee of the United States, and the Federation International De L'Automobile.
After 50,000 miles this car held new world, national and American speed records. This car achieved the 50,000 unlimited class record with an average speed of 108.828 mph.
This Comet has 289 Hi Performance engine and is in original un-restored condition. Formerly a part of Harrah's Auto Collection, Collector Cars of Nags Head, and the Mustang Country Collection.
Mileage is now 101,594.
