Lincoln-Mercury produced 60 427-powered Comets in 1967, the most famous of which was “The Collector,” a 202 Comet sedan fielded by Canada’s largest Lincoln-Mercury dealer, Sandy Elliot Ltd. located in Chatham, Ontario .

Looking for an edge in NHRA’s Super Stock Eliminator, Elliot and his dealer performance advisor Barrie Poole transplanted a complete Comet 202 427 4-speed drivetrain into this small block 1967 Comet station wagon, creating “The Collector II.” The car performed impressively, posting the quickest SS/C time at the 1967 NHRA Spring Nationals at Bristol, TN and taking a close second to Bill Jenkins in the final.

The “Collector II” appears on page 138 of the book Total Performers: Ford Drag Racing in the 1960’s by noted author Charles R. Morris. It is accompanied by extensive documentation, including a Deluxe Marti Report showing shipment to Sandy Elliot, Ltd, in Chatham, Ontario, Canada, correspondence to and from NASCAR confirming its legality for AA/Stock competition, and period photos of the car in action.

A real Nostalgic Super Stocker at the price it would cost to build a tribute car.
