Among the rarest offerings in the 1965 lineup, this Mercury Comet
Caliente Convertible makes up fewer than 4 percent of total Comet
production that year. Red paint flows across the sleek body lines,
giving this convertible an unmistakable presence on the road. When
weather allows, the black vinyl top electrically folds away, and
the included parade boot creates a clean, finished appearance.
Properly fitted 15-inch factory-style wheels hold 215/65R15
Firestone tires at all four corners, maintaining this Mercury's
distinctive mid-60s proportions and road-ready stance.
Inside this Caliente, black vinyl wraps the comfortable bench seat
and door panels, making a perfect match with the red exterior. The
factory column shifter keeps the floor clear and spacious for all
passengers. Every gauge and control on the dash remains true to
original Mercury specs, showing minimal aging throughout. Good
carpeting and well-maintained vinyl surfaces surround you while
power steering makes handling easy whether cruising through town or
taking longer highway drives with the top down.
A 289 cubic inch V8 provides ample motivation with a subtle but
noticeable performance camshaft giving this engine a distinctive
sound at idle. The C-4 automatic transmission handles gear changes
while connecting to the solid 9-inch rear end. The suspension uses
traditional coil springs up front with leaf springs supporting the
rear, plus air shocks for adjustable ride height depending on your
preference. Power brakes complete the driving dynamics for
controlled stopping in all conditions.
