1964 Mercury Comet Caliente K-Code 289 4 bl 2 door hardtop. bucket seats with console. I received this car on a trade so I will tell you the information I was told. the car was built in Los Angeles Ca and spent half of its life on the west coast. then was purchased and moved to Ohio where it stayed for 15 years then it was sold to the person I got the car from who said he had the car for 10 years. the car is very original with the original k-code 289 and c4 trans and the original rear end and It does look to be all original. the car was yellow mist with palomino bucket seat interior when built in 1964. the previous owner had the car painted red and black in 9-13 and said the interior was changed to black in 1998.the vin numbers match on the inner fender and the door plate. the paint is not a great job and was not wet sanded so I wet sanded the hood and the top of the fenders and it cleaned up ok. the floors have a couple of patches and the trunk is very solid. it is not a show car it starts up and runs very good. before it can be on the road it will need brake work exhaust work and tires. has a new battery. gas tank was cleaned and sealed. it has 14'' cragers that look to be in very nice shape. everything works all lights inside and out. wipers work heater works. radio is original and does not work. interior and carpet are very clean and need very little attention. body is in good shape with all trim intact. glass is very good no chips or cracks all side windows work great. the steering wheel is not original and I do not have original. the underside needs some work someone in the past has worked on the rear torque boxes and the sub frame rails. needs some more work. the front inner fender wells need some work. the pictures look worse then it really is. the dash is not cut anywhere could use new dash pad. I will not guarantee the 289 is original since I can't check the block numbers. it has a edelbrock carb that is to big for the motor. I was told the motor was rebuilt with a mild cam in 2013. that's all I know about the car and vin number is posted so you can look up any info you might need. bumpers are in great shape no dings or dents could use chrome.
