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 like a dream. Handles great. Front end anti sway bar. I didn't want to chop up a super 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. 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 60's Rocket racing rims 4.5" and new front/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. Head lights, turn signals, brake lights work great. New heater fan motor, and blower/defroster 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. Front seat is covered (temp fix) but isn't too bad, and looks real nice. Back seat is stock caliente style and looks nice. Front end I installed a Mr. Gasket 2" lift kit and what a difference on the handling. Headliner in great shape, 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 2 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 to me. It is truly a Real 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. The OTHER car is for sale, it's been on MTV, Sublime used it in one of their video's. Signed by a lot of famous people. Wins almost every show it goes too. Please bid if you have the money. I reserve the right to remove from auction if sold before auction ends. Happy Bidding.

Also for some of you that wanted to know on shipping I do have a transporter company that I've used and they are really reliable and good to work with. Thank you for all of your interest in the Clean Comet.
