This 1965 Mercury Comet Caliente 2-door hardtop is finished in Carnival Red with a black vinyl interior| showcasing the bold style of mid-1960s American cars. This Comet was originally an inline-6 car but was later changed to a V8. The paint shows well with no noticeable flaws| and the chrome and brightwork present nicely with only minor imperfections. Under the hood is a Ford 302 CID V8 with a new cam| 289 heads| and 289 badging. It's paired with a smooth 3-speed automatic. This setup delivers the classic V8 sound and lively performance expected from the era. The undercarriage looks good| and it appears repairs were made during restoration. New power steering and power brakes| and rear air shocks have been added for better handling. Inside| the black cabin maintains the car's cohesive look.
