GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this extensively restored and
modified 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente for your consideration.
Finished in Wimbledon White with period-style graphics over a
restored White interior with Blue carpeting, this rust-free Arizona
two-door hardtop was built in the spirit of Mercury's legendary
B/FX drag cars. Beneath its fiberglass ram-air hood is a 331ci
stroker roller V8 featuring a roller camshaft, aluminum rocker
arms, ported aluminum 351W cylinder heads, and a new Edelbrock
Air-Gap intake topped with dual Edelbrock carburetors. Power is
delivered through a manual transmission and Ford 9-inch rear end.
Supporting upgrades include a new aluminum water pump, radiator,
lightweight starter, one-wire alternator, distributor, ignition
wires, oversized oil pan, exhaust with cutouts, fuel tank, clutch,
flywheel, brake lines, master cylinder, steering components, and
front and rear springs. Front disc brakes and larger rear drums
provide upgraded stopping power. The refreshed cabin features
bucket seats and a purposeful radio- and heater-delete
configuration. Fewer than 100 miles have been added since the
restoration was completed. Drive this one out of our showroom or
have us assist with shipping it to you anywhere in the United
States! Don't hesitate to call us with any questions or for more
information.
The Mercury Comet received a major redesign for 1964, gaining
sharper, more squared-off styling and a distinctive hardtop
roofline. The same era also marked Mercury's growing involvement in
Ford's "Total Performance" racing campaign, where specially
prepared Comets competed in NHRA factory experimental classes.
Their lightweight construction, powerful Ford V8 engines, and
unmistakable drag-strip presence helped establish the Comet as far
more than an economy compact. Built as a tribute to that exciting
period of Mercury racing history, this Comet combines classic 1964
styling with the stance, performance equipment, and visual
character of a vintage B/FX machine.
