This listing is for a 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente This car is a very well built street and strip car. The car was built with the intent to drive it on regular roads, but can be taken to the track as well. No expense was spare to include a very built V6 motor, lightening rod shifters attached to a C4 transmission, straight axle, custom floor, 10 point cage, custom period correct dash, and more. This Mercury Comet has the rare and hard to find.
The engine is very Obviously the Comet was Mercury"s version of the Falcon, but true to the Mercury brand mission, it"s a bit more upscale with more features, more comfort, and a unique look. Not just badge engineered, the Comet wears unique sheetmetal that definitely looks like a Mercury, particularly with the bold grille, sweeping side trim and intricate rear panel, all of which were borrowed from the bigger models. Finished in basic black, it looks like a grown-up"s car, and thanks to a repaint a few years ago, it has the kind of elegance usually reserved for much bigger cars. There are a few signs of use, which is especially evident on black cars, but a professional buff would really make this black paint look great. The chrome appears to be mostly original and in good condition, with bright bumpers, a grille that isn"t bent, and ornate little details that delight, from the fender-mounted ornaments to the awesome "Comet" script on the trunk lid. And those taillights are just too cool. responsive and on top of that sounds amazing! The transmission is a “built” C4 with a performance valve body and a 3000 stall converter. It is shifted with a B&M floor shifter. The rear end is an 8” Auburn TrackLok assembly wit 4.62 gears. If the gearing is set up to high for your taste then no worries, it comes with a second rear end with lower gears. The front brakes are discs from a Mercury Monarch and it has drums in the rear Location PUERTO RICO For Sale By owner as is. .
