1965 Mercury Comet Caliente NO RESERVE! Falcon, Mustang, Fairlane, Ford

1965 Mercury Comet Caliente 2 door hardtopThis car is an original 289 A-code/ 3 speed car and, was originally red w/black interior. It still wears it's original vin and trim tag.
The Comet is powered by a 302 SBF that appears to be internally stock. It sports an Edelbrock aluminum intake, Holley 600 vacuum secondary w/electric choke and, finned aluminum valve covers. It has true dual exhaust w/Flowmaster mufflers that exit under the rear bumper. Shifting is done by a Hurst shifter connected to a 3 speed transmission and, run through an 8" rear end. The car runs good and cool and, drives as it should. The brakes and shocks were replaced by a previous owner. I recently installed new MOOG tie rod ends and, new Jegs SportStar wheels w/new tires!
The interior has just been freshened up with new door panels, arm rests, kick panels, package tray, dash pad, new "Auto Gauge" tach & gauge trio, recovered original seats and, new weatherstripping throughout! All headlights, tail lights, blinkers, etc are functional w/ new bulbs throughout including LED tail lights!
This car shows well for a driver and is a good "20-footer”. It looks to have had a partial repaint at some point and does have blemishs. There is very minimal rust over the rear wheels, lower fenders, and a spot or two on the doors. The original trunk pan is in great shape! A previous owner installed floor pans in the car. They are decent and very solid, but not show quality. I recently cleaned and resprayed the underside with black undercoating.
This is a good little car that shows well, and will make someone a great driver/ cruise in car or, take it to the next level! Please ask any questions that you may have!
