OPENING: From a high-end collection comes this beautifully done
Comet Caliente. The 2 nd generation Comet ('64-'65) was a hit on
the drag strip with its lightweight body and V8 friendly engine
compartment. This one has the look and feel of those early days
when "Dyno Don" Nicholson and "Wild Bill" Shrewsberry ruled their
class. Call Jordan (612) 290-9299 with any questions you may have.

INTRO/HISTORY: The Comet was born in 1960 and like the Mercury
Meteor shared the trend in the early days of the "Space Race" with
a space-age name. The production run ended in 1977 having gone from
compact to intermediate, then back to compact. Styling was updated
in '65 with stacked headlights like the full-size Fords and it also
received new tail end treatment with tail lights appearing to go
across the full width. It comes with a clean and clear title. EXT:

OVERVIEW: Inside and out, top to bottom this '65 Comet Caliente is
a winner in every department. You could trailer it to the show, but
you'd be missing half the fun. Lightweight, fast, loud and proud,
it's a time machine back to the golden age of drag racing and
stoplight challenges. This high end build is a head turner and a
showstopper and is guaranteed to put you in a good mood every time
you get behind the wheel. Caliente means hot and this one means it.
