Mercury was a highly successful marque under Ford's belt, it was positioned between Lincoln and Ford as a middle-upper range of cars. The Mercury marque was used from 1938 to 2011, with the Mercury Grand Marquis the last car under this marque. While the latter years saw the Mercury name decline, from the 50s to the 70s the marque was super popular. The Mercury Comet is a compact and later on mid-sized car which was produced from 1960 to 1977, under six generations. Up for grabs is a second-generation 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente, with just 72,000 miles on the clock and ready for a new home.
The second-generation Comet was available in a range of body styles, from 2-door to 4-door, and available as a hardtop, convertible, sedan, and station wagon as well. Four trims were offered with the Caliente being the highest you can get on a Mercury Comet. This Comet is bedecked in a gorgeous blue color reminiscent of clear blue skies and open roads. The front grille resembles the Lincoln Continental grille, with its highly polished chrome grille and quad headlights. Large chrome sideguards are visible on the sides of the car. The rear features a very distinctive triple taillight arrangement with a massive chrome bumper. The “COMET” lettering is visible on the rear quarters of the car and the front hood lip as well. The interior is also appointed in blue, going hand-in-hand with the exterior color. The interior is done in wood and chrome as well. It is reported that the original AM radio is in place. Pride of place is taken up by the vintage 2-spoke wood and metal steering wheel.
While the Cyclone from Mercury is the sporty version of the Comet, the Caliente is the top-trim level, and as such it received the 298ci (4.7L) V8 engine. It comes with a two-barrel carburetor and produces 200hp of power at 4,400rpm. Power is supplied to the rear wheels via a 3-speed manual transmission. It is reported that the 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente could reach 112mph when new. The seller reports that the tires are brand new and ready for the road, with stopping power provided by all-wheel drum brakes.
