1965 Mercury Comet Caliente Hardtop
« on: April 11, 2026, 10:31:31 AM »
1965 Comet Caliente project car. Was intended to be a street/strip A/FX or gasser type. Seats and carpeting have been removed. Straight and solid body with extra parts- has the stock steel hood, plus the Crites double snorkle fiberglass hood, and an extra trunk lid. The intention was to remove the shock towers, install a straight axle, and rear half tube frame with 4-link suspension and a narrow 9 inch rearend. Car still has its stock suspension, power steering and disc brakes. Not included, but available separately, is an Alston pre-welded "back half" tube frame set up for 4-link, and a complete parallel spring solid axle from a 56 Ford pickup. Shock towers were going to be removed for installation of a 427 FE engine (a 460 type engine could also be used). Car has a good title with a non-op. Located in Napa CA  $3200
 I forgot, I also have fiberglass bumpers in addition to the Crites dual-snorkle hood
