NO RESERVE - Bid to own this cool old car. Here is a neat '65 Mercury Comet Caliente convertible, ONE OF ONLY 6,035 MADE, ready to be used and enjoyed. The car has been garaged most of its life and has been professionally maintained since my father-in-law got it nearly 20 years ago. >It has a good running 289 two-barrel V8 engine backed up with a C4 automatic transmission. >The engine has had a recent tune up and a Pertronix electronic ignition installed. >The car has had its brake system redone from the wheel cylinders on up. >The car was repainted in its original color a few years ago to driver quality finish. >A new convertible top was professionally installed four years ago. >The interior is all original except for the carpeting and is in nice overall condition. >The dash pad and factory steering wheel are in virtually perfect condition. >There is an under-dash AM/FM Cassette stereo installed and the factory AM radio is still in the dash, unmolested. >All of the glass is in good condition and the windows all roll up and down easily. >The chrome and stainless trim is in decent shape with only one of the "V8" badges missing from the driver's side fender. >The unique Caliente tail light trim is complete with minor pitting. >The bumpers are straight with decent chrome, though the back bumper does have one rust spot hiding under a small bumper sticker. >The extruded aluminum grill is very nice and all the other emblems are in place and in decent driver quality condition. >An amateur rust repair was made to the driver's side floor pan then the undersides were completely coated with POR-15. >The doors, hood and trunk open and close easily with no binding or problems though the trunk lid spring is a little weak. >The heater core went bad a few years ago and has not been replaced since it is never out in bad weather or winter time. It's a fairly cheap part and a pretty easy repair if you want to put it right. This is a great driver quality car that needs pretty much nothing to enjoy.
