NO RESERVE!
The Mercury Comet was restyled for 1964 with a "macho" new image. Gone was the S-22 and Custom series options as well as the compact economical image that was portrayed from 1960-1963. The new Comet's boasted both sport and style. New for 1964 was the model series 202, 404, Caliente and Cyclone. The most talked about Comets of 1964 were the Caliente's and Cyclones. The Caliente was promised to be every bit as hot as it looked, and offered wide, full length molding down the side, a padded instrument panel with walnut grain trim and deep loop carpeting. The Caliente was offered as a 2 or 4-door and convertible.
This is an all original interior car including seats, door panels, dash, carpet, glass and the original top. The trunk looks and shows as well as the rest of the car. The 260ci V8 and 3-speedd automatic transmission perform like the day the car was built. The engine compartment has been highly and thoroughly detailed and has the engine dress-up kit with chrome valve covers and a chrome air cleaner. This Caliente’s options include power steering, air conditioning (ice cold), and a factory AM radio. It had one exterior repaint in 2005, which was professionally done. It comes with 2 shop manuals, an owner’s manual and a factory brochure. A rare automobile that runs and drives as good as it looks, one of the best.
