Exterior and Interior
One of the best colors one can put on a classic car is red, and that is exactly the case with this 1966 Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible as well. Giving it a beautiful contrast is a beige convertible soft top. The white sports stripes on the hood and the sides of the car add to its personality. The most notable features of this car are its double-stacked grille and headlights, which were part of a major restyle of the model year. Our subject car sits on a set of 14’ American Racing wheels that feature Chrome hubcaps. Meanwhile, BFGoodrich Radial T/A rubber tires ensure that you have optimal grip. The interior of this 1966 Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible is done in black leather. It is beautified with Woodgrain trim and chrome trim on the dash.

Engine
This 1966 Mercury Comet Caliente Convertible is powered by a 390ci V8 engine, which was a high-performance option that makes this example quite rare.

It sends power to the rear wheels through a smooth C6 3-speed automatic transmission.
