You are bidding on a Super Clean 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente (Clone-Cyclone). I was going to build a straight axle Gasser out of this car but I couldn't due to that it drives really good and I didn't want to chop up an unbelievable clean car. This one is like a road racer, handles corners and drives straight and smooth, to me way too much power with this 351 Windsor and the C6 Super trans. It will light up the tires. This is my everyday driver so you can drive this car anywhere. No heating worries, No leaks at all, Way too many New parts on this car, Brakes, Trans, Brake lines, Rims and front and rear tires, New Cyclone hood and front fiberglass bumper, I do have a rear fiberglass bumper but I like the chrome one on it now. All lights, turn signals, brake lights work great. New fan housing motor, and blower/defroster and heater and it will cook you out of the car when on. All glass on car is great, windshield has a few very light scratches on the upper corner but nothing real bad, I haven't change that out because I didn't think it show that much. Trim has been polish about two years ago and looks still great. Could use a paint job but it still holds a super shine now. Front seat is covered and looks real nice. Back seat is stock caliente style and looks nice. Front end I install a Mr. Gasket 2" lift kit and what a difference on the handling. Newer Headliner, Pretty much the car could use a paint job and then the car would look brand new. Or just drive it the way it is now, I still get so many people saying what a great looking car, they say they used to see alot of these cars out at Lion's Drag Strip and at Carlsbad Drag Strip in the 60's and they were very fast. I just put double stainless tubed exhaust on the rear and it looks great. On the driver side floor pan has a small crack in it but I didn't change it out because it's really not that bad, it's about maybe 1 in a half inches long, if I thought it was serious I would have changed it out so don't let that scare you I'm probably making it sound like a big thing but it's not. It is truly a Super Clean Classic Hot Rod. I've had 4 other Comets before and I think this one is my cleanest one of all. The reason I'm selling it is because our car club is getting back into Gassers again. Other than that I really would keep it because it's Super fast and reliable. I'm not asking a fortune for it but I think I'm asking a real fair price. Please ask questions and bid to win. Who ever wins this car is getting a true Hot Rod and can drive it for many many years.

And for the guys back east (NY), all new shocks, and yes title is clear and in hand. Also I believe you've ask, yes the wipers work great, out here in California we haven't had any rain to speak of so they don't get used much but they work great on high and low. Let me know if you have anymore questions and I will try to get back to you as soon as I can. Thanks again... Just to let you know that I can pull the auction at anytime if sold locally.

And the 57 Chevy is not for sale owned it for over 20 years. On the Comet yes the power steering was all rebuilt and works great no worries. Also for the guys in Conn. I can hold the car for 2 weeks if needed, on transportation for your end. Also for those who have asked, all glass is in very very good condition. No rattles down the road or highway. Thanks again....
